SAFE OPERATION
The best insurance against accidents is to abide by the
safety regulations.
Read and understand this manual carefully before
operating the excavator.
Every user, however experienced, should carefully read
and understand this manual and those of the attachments
and accessories before taking the excavator into
operation. The owner is obliged to inform the operators of
these instructions in detail.
Keep this manual in the pocket under the seat.
1. Make yourself acquainted with the excavator and be
aware of its limits. Read the operating instructions
carefully before starting the excavator.
2. Obey the danger, warning and caution labels on the
machine.
3. For your safety, ROPS/FOPS (Roll-Over Protective
Structures, Falling Objects Protective Structures.) with
a seat belt is installed by KUBOTA. Always use the
seat belt when the machine is equipped with a ROPS/
FOPS.
Do not modify structural members of ROPS by
welding, drilling, bending, grinding or cutting, as this
may weaken the structure. If any component is
damaged, replace it. Do not attempt repairs. If ROPS
is loosened or removed for any reason, make sure all
parts are reinstalled correctly. Tighten mounting bolts
to proper torque.
4. The seat belt must be inspected regularly and
replaced if damaged.

choose the one which is most familiar. Familiarize
yourself with the pattern selected by operation slowly
