apply to the excavators mentioned in this documentation.
It is the responsibility of the owner(s):

ensure safe handling of the equipment,

The terms "front" and "direction of travel" refer to the view of the

of travel means that the dozer is at the front when driving for-

EC declaration of conformity
With the EC declaration of conformity, KUBOTA Baumaschinen GmbH certifies that the exca-
vator is in conformity with the valid standards and regulations at the time of marketing. The CE
conformity marking is located on the type plate and indicates compliance with the regulations.
If the excavator is modified or retrofitted without the approval of the manufacturer, the safety of
the excavator may be affected, thus invalidating the EC declaration of conformity.
The EC declaration of conformity is attached to the operating instructions for delivery of the
excavator.
Keep the EC declaration of conformity in a safe place and show it, if requested, to the respon-
sible authorities.
Should the EC declaration of conformity get lost, please contact your KUBOTA dealer.
