Operating of the auxiliary port (KX015-4/KX016-4/KX018-4)
The auxiliary port serves for operating attachments.
No person is allowed to stand in the swing area during
the movement.
Swing carefully to avoid any contact of the front attach-
ments with adjacent objects.
The boom swing control pedal can be secured against inadvertent operation by lowering the locking
flap. Fold the locking flap when the boom swing pedal is not in use.
Only implements approved by KUBOTA may be used. The implements must be operated in accord-
ance with the operating instructions supplied with them.
With the use of a breaker or another attachment for demolition work, where material (e.g. asphalt) is
removed and can uncontrollably sputter away, personal protective equipment is absolutely to be worn
(safety shoes, safety helmet, eye protection, ear protection and if necessary facial mask). The use of
a gravel guard (front protective grid) is recommended. For excavation work with a cab, the front win-
dow must be closed, in addition. 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 performance data for the auxiliary port can be found in the section "Specifications" (page 39).
Make sure that, before carrying out the activities in the auxiliary port connectors, the pressure relief
of the hydraulic equipment (page 91) and the auxiliary port connectors (page 92) has been carried
out. Depending on the operation setting, the return change valve has to be set to the appropriate po-
sition (page 91).
The auxiliary ports may only be activated when an implement is attached.
If the auxiliary port has not been used for a longer time, dirt particles could have accumulated at the
connectors of the conduits. Before installing the implement, drain approx. 0.1 L of hydraulic oil at
each port.
Catch the drained hydraulic oil in a container and discard it in accordance with the valid environmen-
tal regulations.
