To ensure greatest protection by means of this protective structure,
the following applies:
!
The seat belt must be fastened while the excavator is being op-
erated.
!
Do not make any structural changes to the protective structure.
!
In the event of damage, please contact your KUBOTA dealer.
(Do not repair!)
!
Never operate the excavator without the protective structure.

The operator must
!
drive at reduced vehicle speed,
!
avoid sudden braking,
!
avoid sudden steering movements,
!
make sure the load does not swing when travelling.
With the use of a hydraulic hammer or another attachment for demolition work, where material (e.g. asphalt) is
removed and can uncontrollably sputter away, a gravel guard is recommended for protection.
For demolition (according to EN 474-1, Annex G), e.g. tearing down walls, the corresponding protective equipment
is required (e.g. gravel guard).
The excavator is equipped with a protective structure that protects the operator from severe injury or
death if the excavator falls over or overturns and in the case of falling objects.
