SAFE OPERATION
You can avoid most accidents with the loader
equipment by following simple safety instructions.
Safety precautions for the loader, if they are followed at
all times, will help you operate your loader safely.
PRECAUTIONS BEFORE
OPERATING THE LOADER
• Read and understand all instructions and
precautions in both the tractor and the loader
operator's manuals before using the loader.
Lack of knowledge can lead to accidents.
• It is the owner's responsibility to ensure that anyone
who will operate the loader reads this manual first
and becomes familiar with the safe operation of the
loader.
• For your safety, Kubota strongly recommends using
a ROPS (rollover protective structure) with a seat
belt in almost all applications. If your tractor has a
foldable ROPS, fold it down only when absolutely
necessary and raise it up and lock it again as soon
as possible. Do not wear the seat belt when a
foldable ROPS is down or a fixed ROPS is
removed. If you have any questions, consult your
local Kubota dealer.
• Visually check for hydraulic leaks and broken,
missing, or malfunctioning parts.
Perform necessary repairs before operating the
loader.
• Replace damaged or illegible safety labels. See
SAFETY LABELS on page 6 for required labels.
• When the front loader is mounted on the tractor,
enter and exit the operator's seat only from left side
of the tractor.
• Engage the loader control valve lock to prevent
accidental actuation when the implement is not in
use or during transport. Do not utilize the loader
control valve lock for maintenance or repair of the
machine.
• Assemble, remove, and reinstall the loader only as
directed in this manual. Otherwise, serious personal
injury or death may result.
• Follow the precautions below when attaching
attachments.

• Make sure that both handles of the boom
LH and RH contact the ear plates at the
points (A) and are all the way down.
• Make sure that both lock pins of the boom
LH and RH protrude through the pin slots.
• Kubota recommends the use of Kubota
attachments on Kubota loaders. Non-
Kubota attachments, if used, must comply
with
ISO 24410, first edition 2005-04-15
.
• Use of a non-Kubota attachment that does
not comply with
ISO 24410
or the improper
positioning of handle(s) or non-protrusion of
pin(s) may result in detachment of the
attachment or deformation, causing loss of
performance, personal injury, or death.

standard, published 2005
.

not comply with
ISO 23206 standard
or the
improper positioning of handle or non-
protrusion of pin(s) may result in
detachment
of
the
attachment
or
deformation, causing loss of performance,
personal injury, or death.
