SAFE OPERATION
SAFE OPERATION
Careful operation is your best insurance against an
accident. Read and understand this manual carefully
before operating the machine. All operators, no matter
how much experience they may have had, should read
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.
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 lever. 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. 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.
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.
5. Always use the seat belt if the machine has the ROPS.
Check the seat belt regularly and replace if frayed or
damaged.
6. Do not allow any bystanders around or near machine
during operation.
7. Do not allow passengers, children or non-qualified
operators on the machine at any time. The operator
must remain in the machine seat throughout
operation.
8. Do not operate the machine or any attachments while
under the influence of alcohol, medication, controlled
substances or when fatigued.
9. Do not wear loose, torn, or bulky clothing around
machine. The clothing may catch on moving parts or
controls, leading to the risk of accident. Wear and use
any additional safety items such as hard hat, safety
boots or shoes, eye and hearing protection, gloves,
etc. as appropriate or required.
10. Do not wear radio or music headphones while
operating the machine.
Safe operation requires your full attention.
11. Carefully check the vicinity before operating machine
or any implement attached to it. Clear the work area of
objects (wires, rocks, etc.) that might be picked up and
thrown. Check for overhead clearance which may
interfere with a grass catcher or ROPS.
12. Check brakes and other mechanical parts for correct
adjustment and wear. Replace worn or damaged parts
promptly. Check the tightness of all nuts and bolts
regularly. (For further details, see "PERIODIC
SERVICE" and "ADJUSTMENT" section.)
13. Keep all shields and guards in place. Replace any that
are damaged or missing.
14. Before allowing other people to use your machine,
explain how to operate and have them read this
manual before operation.
