SAFE OPERATION
Careful operation is your best insurance against an
accident.
Read and understand this manual carefully before
operating the tractor.
All operators, no matter how much experience they
may have, should read this and other related manuals
before operating the tractor or any implement attached
to it. It is the owner's obligation to instruct all operators
in safe operation.
BEFORE OPERATING THE
TRACTOR
Know your equipment and its limitations. Read this
entire manual before attempting to start and operate
the tractor.
1. General
• Pay special attention to the safety labels on the
tractor.
• Do not operate the tractor or any implement
attached to it while under the influence of alcohol,
medication, controlled substances or while fatigued.
• Before allowing other people to use your tractor,
explain how to operate and have them read this
manual before operation.
• Never wear loose, torn, or bulky clothing around
tractor. It may catch on moving parts or controls,
leading to the risk of an accident.
Use additional safety items, such as a hard hat,
safety boots or shoes, eye and hearing protection,
gloves and so on, as appropriate or required.
• Do not allow passengers to ride on any part of the
tractor at any time. The operator must remain in the
tractor seat during operation.
• Check brakes, clutch, linkage pins and other
mechanical parts for improper adjustment and
wear. Replace worn or damaged parts promptly.
Check the tightness of all nuts and bolts regularly.
(See MAINTENANCE on page 94.)
• Keep your tractor clean. Dirt, grease, and trash
build up may contribute to fires and lead to personal
injury.
• Use only implements meeting the specifications
listed in this manual or implements approved by
KUBOTA.
(See IMPLEMENT LIMITATIONS on page 27.)
• Use proper weights on the front or rear of the
tractor to reduce the risk of upsets. Follow the safe
operating procedures specified in the implement or
attachment manual.
• The narrower the tread, the greater the risk of a
tractor upset. For maximum stability, adjust the
wheels to the widest practical tread width for your
application.
(See TIRES, WHEELS AND BALLAST on page
87.)
(1) Rear wheels (A) Tread width
• Do not modify the tractor. Unauthorized
modification may affect the function of the tractor,
which may result in personal injury.
2. CAB and ROPS
• KUBOTA recommends the use of a CAB or roll over
protective structures (ROPS) and seat belt in
almost all applications. This combination will reduce
the risk of serious injury or death, should the tractor
be upset. Check for overhead clearance which may
interfere with a CAB or ROPS.
• Set the parking brake and stop the engine. Remove
any obstructions that may prevent the ROPS from
raising or folding. Do not allow any bystanders near
the tractor. Always perform the adjustment from a
stable position at the rear of the tractor. Hold the
top of the ROPS securely when raising or folding.
Make sure that all pins are installed and locked.
• If the CAB or ROPS is loosened or removed for any
reason, make sure that all parts are reinstalled
correctly before operating the tractor.
• Never modify or repair any structural member of a
CAB or ROPS because welding, bending, drilling,
grinding, or cutting may weaken the structure.
• A damaged CAB or ROPS structure must be
replaced, not repaired or revised.
• If any structural member of the CAB or ROPS is
damaged, replace the entire structure at your local
KUBOTA Dealer.
