SAFE OPERATION
ENGLISH
5. Follow KUBOTA's recommendations for wheel
weights or counterweights to improve stability.
6. The weight of grass in the grass container may
increase the possibility of tip over.
7. Keep all movement on slopes slow and gradual. Do
not make sudden changes in speed or direction.
8. Avoid starting or stopping on a slope. If tires lose
traction, disengage the blades and proceed slowly
straight down the slope.
9. If the machine stops going uphill, disengage PTO and
back slowly down.
10.Reduce speed and exercise extreme caution on
slopes and in sharp turns to prevent tip-over or loss of
control.
11.Use special caution when changing direction on
slopes.
1. Do not turn on slopes unless necessary and then turn
slowly and gradually downhill, if possible.
2. Do not use the machine on slopes of more than 11 .
3. Do not mow near drop-offs, ditches, or embankments.
The machine could suddenly turn over if a wheel falls
over the edge of a cliff or ditch, or if an edge caves in.
4. Do not mow on wet grass. Reduced traction could
cause sliding.
5. Do not try to stabilize the machine by putting your foot
on the ground.
6. Do not stop or start suddenly when going uphill or
downhill.
7. Never "freewheel". Do not let the machine travel
downhill with HST pedal at neutral position.
8. Do not modify or alter the riding mower.
C
Children
Tragic accidents can occur if the operator is not alert to
the presence of children. Children are attracted to the
machine and the mowing activity. Never assume that
children will remain where you last saw them.
1. Keep children out of the mowing area and under the
watchful care of another responsible adult.
2. Be alert and turn the machine off if children enter the
area.
3. Before and when backing, look behind and down for
small children.
4. Never carry children. They may fall off and be
seriously injured or interfere with safe machine
operation.
5. Never allow children to operate the machine, even
under adult supervision. Local regulation can restrict
the age of the operator.
6. Use extra care when approaching blind corners,
shrubs, trees, or other obstructions that might hide
children from sight.
C
Operators, age 60 years and above
Data indicates that operators, age 60 years and above,
are involved in a large percentage of machine-related
injuries. These operators should evaluate their ability to
operate the machine safely enough to protect themselves
and others from serious injury.
C
Stopping
1. Make sure that the machine has come to a complete
stop before dismounting.
2. Before dismounting, disengage the PTO, lower all
implements, place all control levers in their neutral
positions, apply parking brake, turn off the engine and
remove the key.
3. Do not park the machine on a steep incline. Park on
relatively flat areas.
1. Before installing or using PTO-driven equipment, read
the manufacturer's manual and review the safety
labels attached to the equipment.
2. Wait until all moving components have completely
stopped before connecting, disconnecting, adjusting,
cleaning, or servicing any PTO-driven equipment.
3. Use the PTO with KUBOTA approved attachments.
1. Use lift link only with authorized attachments designed
for lift link usage.
1. Disengage power to attachment(s) when transporting
or not in use.
2. Do not tow this machine. Use a suitable truck or trailer
when transporting on public roads.
3. It is recommended that this machine not be used on
public roads.
4. Use extra care when loading or unloading the machine
into a trailer or truck.
1. Before servicing the machine, park the machine on a
firm, level surface, set the parking brake, stop the
engine and remove the key.
2. Securely support machine or any machine elements
with stands or suitable blocking before working
underneath. For your safety do not rely or hydraulically
supported devices, they may leak down, suddenly
drop or be accidently lowered.
