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.1.2.Read and understand both the tractor and theloader Operator's Manuals before using theloader.Lack of knowledge can lead to accidents.For your safety, ROPS with a seat belt is stronglyrecommended by KUBOTA in almost allapplications. If your tractor has a folding ROPS,fold it down only when absolutely necessary andfold it up and lock it again as soon as possible. Donot wear the seat belt when the folding ROPS isdown or the fixed ROPS is removed. If you haveany questions, consult your local KUBOTA Dealer.Always use seat belt when the tractor is equippedwith a ROPS. Never use the seat belt when thetractor is not equipped with a ROPS.3. Do not lift or carry anybody on the loader, bucket or attachment.4. Never allow anyone to get under the loader bucket or reach through the boom when the bucket is raised.5. Do not walk or work under a raised loader bucket or attachment unless it is securely blocked and held in position.6. When operating on a slope, always operate up and down the slope, never across the slope.7. Operate the loader from the tractor seat only.8. For tractor stability and operator's safety, rear ballast must be added to the 3-point hitch and to the rear wheels.9. To increase stability adjust the rear wheels to the widest setting that is suitable for your application.10. Move and turn the tractor at low speeds.11. Carry loader boom at a low position during transport. (You should be able to see over the bucket.)12. Exercise extra caution when operating the loader with a raised bucket or attachment.13. Avoid loose fill, rocks and holes. They can be dangerous for loader operation or movement.14. Be extra careful when working on inclines.15. Avoid overhead wires and obstacles when loader is raised. Contacting electric lines can cause electrocution.16. Allow for the loader length when making turns.17. Gradually stop the loader boom when lowering or lifting.18. Use caution when handling loose or shiftable loads.19. When loader work has been completed, lower loader boom to the ground, stop the engine,remove the key and lock the brakes before leaving the tractor seat.20. Make sure the parked loader is on stands and on a hard, level surface.21. Operate the loader controls only when properly seated at the controls.22. Visually check for hydraulic leaks and broken,missing, or malfunctioning parts.Make necessary repairs before operation.23. Escaping hydraulic oil under pressure can have sufficient force to penetrate the skin, causing serious personal injury. Do not use hands to search for suspected leaks. If injured by escaping fluid, obtain medical treatment at once.24. Before disconnecting hydraulic lines, relieve all hydraulic pressure.25. Do not tamper with the relief valve setting. The relief valve is pre-set at the factory. Changing the setting can cause overloading of the loader and tractor which may result in a serious personal injury.26. Using loaders for handling large heavy objects,such as large round or rectangular bales, logs and oil drums is not recommended.27. Handling large heavy objects can be extremely dangerous due to :• Danger of rolling the tractor over.• Danger of upending the tractor.• Danger of the object rolling or sliding down the loader boom onto the operator.28. If you must perform this sort of work (item 27), protect yourself by :• Never lifting the load higher than necessary to clear the ground.이 Adding rear ballast to the tractor to compensate for the load.Never lifting large object with equipment that may permit it to roll back onto the operator.• Moving slowly and carefully, avoiding rough terrain.29. It is the loader owner's responsibility to be certain anyone operating the loader read this manual first to be aware of the safe way of operating the loader.
