SAFE OPERATION
SAFE OPERATION
Careful operation is your best insurance against an
accident. The owner/user can prevent and is responsible
for accidents or injuries occurring to themselves, other
people or property. Read and understand this manual
carefully before operating the machine. All operators, no
matter how much experience they may have had, must
read and understand this and other related manuals
before operating the machine or any implement attached
to it. It is the owner's obligation to instruct all operators in
safe operation.
If the operator(s) or mechanic(s) cannot read English it is
the owner's responsibility to explain this material to them.
This mowing machine is capable of amputating hands and
feet and throwing objects. Failure to observe the following
safety instructions could result in serious injury or death.
1. The ZERO TURN MOWING MACHINE has different
steering characteristics than other machines with a
steering wheel and does not have a service brake
pedal (but, has a parking brake pedal that can be used
to stop the machine in an emergency). Normal slowing
down and stopping is done with the motion control
levers. Read and understand the operators manual
before operating the machine. Practice operating
machine at low engine speed without mower engaged
in an unobstructed area.
2. Know your equipment and its limitations. Read all
instructions in this manual and machine safety labels
before attempting to start and operate the machine.
3. Pay special attention to the safety labels on the
machine itself.
4. The ROPS is an integral and effective safety device.
KUBOTA recommends the use of a 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 machine be
upset.
The machine is equipped with a Foldable ROPS,
which may be temporarily folded down only when
absolutely necessary for areas with height constraints.
There is no operator protection provided by the ROPS
in the folded position. For operator safety you must set
the ROPS in the upright and locked position and put on
the seat belt for all other operations.
DO NOT remove the ROPS.
If the ROPS is loosened or removed for any reason,
make sure that all parts are reinstalled correctly before
operating the machine.
Never modify or repair a ROPS because welding,
bending, drilling, grinding, or cutting may weaken the
structure.
If any structural member of the ROPS is damaged,
replace the entire structure at your local KUBOTA
Dealer. Any alterations to a ROPS must be approved
by the manufacturer.
Check the area to be mowed and never fold down a
foldable ROPS in areas where there are slopes, drop
offs or water.
Check carefully for overhead clearances (i.e.
branches, doorways, electrical wires) before driving
under any objects and do not contact them.
Keep the ROPS in safe operating condition by
periodically thoroughly inspecting for damage and
keeping all mounting fasteners tight.
