Most loader equipment accidents can be avoided by following simple safety precautions. These safety precautions, if followed at all times, will help you operate your loader safely. 1. Know your equipment and its limitations. Allow only trained personnel to operate or service this equipment. 2. Read and understand all instructions and precautions found in both the tractor and the loader operator's manuals before using the loader. Lack of knowledge can lead to accidents. 3. 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. 4. For your safety, a ROPS with a seat belt is strongly recommended by KUBOTA 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. Always use the seat belt when the tractor is equipped with a ROPS. Never use the seat belt when the tractor is not equipped with a ROPS.5. Visually check for hydraulic leaks and broken, missing,or malfunctioning parts. Make necessary repairs before operating.6. Replace damaged or illegible safety labels. See following pages for required labels. 7. When the front loader is mounted on the tractor, enter and exit the operator's seat only from left side of the tractor. 8. Engage the loader control valve lock to prevent accidental actuation when the implement is not in useor during transport. Do not utilize the valve lock formachine maintenance or repair.9. Assemble, remove and reinstall the loader only asdirected in this manual. Failure to do this could resultin serious personal injury or death.10.Follow the precautions below when attaching attachments.A Make sure both handles (LH, RH) contact the earplates at the points (A) and are all the way down.A Make sure both lock pins (LH, RH) protrude through the pin slots.A 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.A Use of a non-Kubota attachment that does not comply with ISO 24410 or the improper positioning ofhandle(s) or non-protrusion of pin(s) may result in detachment of the attachment or deformation, causing loss of performance, personal injury or death.1.
