LOADER
Most loader equipment accidents can be avoided by following simple safety precautions.
These safety precautions, if followed at all times, will help you operate your loader safely.
1. Read and understand all instructions and precautions
found in both the tractor and the loader operator's
manuals before using the loader.
Lack of knowledge can lead to accidents.
2. It is the owner's responsibility to ensure that anyone
who will operate the loader reads this manual first and
becomes familiar with the safe operation of the loader.
3. For your safety, a ROPS with a seat belt is strongly
recommended by KUBOTA in almost all applications.
If the tractor is not equipped with ROPS, it should not
be operated in a situation where ROPS is
recommended. If you have any questions, consult
your local KUBOTA Dealer.
Always use the seat belt when the tractor is equipped
with a ROPS. Never use the seat belt when the tractor
is not equipped with a ROPS.
4. Visually check for hydraulic leaks and broken, missing,
or malfunctioning parts.
Make necessary repairs before operating.
5. Replace damaged or illegible safety labels. See
following pages for required labels.
6. Enter and exit the operator's seat only from left side of
the tractor.
7. Engage the loader control valve lock to prevent
accidental actuation when the implement is not in use
or during transport. Do not utilize the valve lock for
machine maintenance or repair.
8. Follow the precautions below when attaching
implements.
A
Make sure both handles (LH, RH) contact the ear
plates at the points (A) and are all the way down.
A
Make sure both lock pins (LH, RH) protrude through
the pin slots.

Kubota recommends the use of Kubota attachments
on Kubota loaders. Non-Kubota attachments, if used,
must comply with ISO 24410, first edition 2005-04-15.
A
Use of a non-Kubota attachment that does not comply
with ISO 24410 or the improper positioning of
handle(s) or non-protrusion of pin(s) may result in
detachment of the attachment or deformation, causing
loss of performance, personal injury or death.
