SAFE OPERATION
15. Securely support excavator with stands or suitable
blocking before working underneath. For your safety,
do not work under any hydraulically supported
devices. They can settle, suddenly leak down, or be
accidentally lowered.
16. Do not dismantle the spring of the track tensioner. If
dismantling is necessary, contact your KUBOTA
dealer where the machine was purchased, or
competent service shop. The assembly must be done
according to the KUBOTA work shop manual (W.S.M.)
for the product involved.
17. When lifting the machine itself with an attachment,
place a safety block or safety post to prevent the
machine from rolling over. Keep the pilot control lock
lever in the "LOCKED" position.
18. Inspect ROPS / OPG (Top Guard Level I) for damage
and if damage is found contact your KUBOTA dealer
for repair.
19. KUBOTA does not use asbestos containing
components and recommends against the use of such
components. Components containing asbestos
should be handled in accordance with applicable
regulations and industry practice.
20. Do not open a high-pressure fuel system. High-
pressure fluid remaining in fuel lines can cause
serious injury. Do not disconnect nor attempt to repair
fuel lines, sensors, or any other components between
the high- pressure fuel pump and injectors on engines
with high-pressure common rail fuel system.
21. To avoid hazardous high voltage, turn the key switch
to the "STOP" position and disconnect the battery
ground cable if it is necessary to check to repair the
computer, harness or connectors.
22. Fire prevention
Excavator and some attachments have components
that are at high temperatures under normal operating
conditions. The primary source of high temperatures is
the engine and exhaust system. The electrical system,
if damaged or incorrectly maintained, can be a source
of arcing or sparks.
The following fire prevention guidelines will help to
keep your equipment up and running efficiently and
keep the risk of fire to a minimum.
A
Before proceeding to regenerate the DPF, a warning
indicator appears on the LCD display to tell you to
increase the engine rpm to its specified level. Follow
that instruction.
A
When the Diesel Particulate Filter (DPF) is in the
regenerating cycle, the exhaust gas and the DPF
muffler become hot. During regeneration, take into
account that the exhaust gas and muffler will be very
hot and keep the machine away from other people,
animals, plants, and flammable material. Also keep
the area near the DPF muffler clean and away from
flammable material.
A
The DPF-regeneration-caused exhaust gas may
reach temperature that adversely affect people,
animals and plants. Before this action, look around the
machine for added safety.
A
During DPF regeneration keep the surrounding
environment in mind. Do not allow the ambient
temperature to rise excessively due to heat from the
regeneration. If such occurs activate the inhibit switch.
A
Blow off all accumulated debris near hot engine
exhaust components such as turbocharger and
exhaust manifold as well as exhaust pipes and muffler
more frequently when working in severe conditions.
A
Clean out all accumulated flammable debris such as
leaves, straw, pine needles, branches, bark, small
wood chips and any other combustible materials from
inside the machine belly pans or lower unit structures
as well as from area in proximity to the engine.
A
Inspect all fuel lines and hydraulic hoses for wear or for
deterioration. Replace them immediately if they begin
to leak.
A
Examine electrical wiring and connectors frequently
for damage. Repair any wires that are loose or frayed
before operating the machine. Clean all electrical
connections and tighten all electrical connections as
necessary.
A
Inspect the exhaust system daily for any signs of
leakage. Check for broken pipes and muffler and also
for loose or missing bolts, nuts and clamps. If any
exhaust leaks or fractured parts are found, repairs
must be completed prior to operation.
A
Always keep a multipurpose fire extinguisher on or
near the machine. Be familiar with the operation of the
fire extinguisher.
