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. Read and understand both the tractor and theloader operator's manuals before using theloader.Lack of knowledge can lead to accidents.2. 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, bucketor attachment.4. Never allow anyone to get under the loaderbucket or reach through the boom when thebucket is raised.5. Do not walk or work under a raised loader bucketor attachment unless it is securely blocked andheld in position.6. When operating on a slope, always operate upand down the slope, never across the slope.7. Operate the loader from the tractor seat only.8. For tractor stability and operator's safety, rearballast must be added to the 3-point hitch and tothe rear wheels.9. To increase stability adjust the rear wheels to thewidest setting that is suitable for your application.10. Move and turn the tractor at low speeds.11. Carry loader boom at a low position duringtransport. (You should be able to see over thebucket.)12. Exercise extra caution when operating the loaderwith a raised bucket or fork.13. Avoid loose fill, rocks and holes. They can bedangerous for loader operation or movement.14. Be extra careful when working on inclines.15. Avoid overhead wires and obstacles when loaderis raised. Contacting electric lines can causeelectrocution.16. Allow for the loader length when making turns.17. Gradually stop the loader boom when lowering orlifting.18. Use caution when handling loose or shiftableloads.19. When loader work has been completed, lower theloader boom to the ground, stop the engine,remove the key and lock the brakes before leavingthe tractor seat.20. Do not remove loader from tractor withoutapproved bucket attached.21. Make sure the parked loader is on stands and on ahard, level surface.22. Operate the loader controls only when properlyseated at the controls.23. Visually check for hydraulic leaks and broken,missing, or malfunctioning parts.Make necessary repairs before operation.24. Escaping hydraulic oil under pressure can havesufficient force to penetrate the skin, causingserious personal injury. Do not use hands tosearch for suspected leaks. If injured by escapingfluid, obtain medical treatment immediately.25. Before disconnecting hydraulic lines, relieve allhydraulic pressure.26. Do not tamper with the relief valve setting. Therelief valve is pre-set at the factory. Changing thesetting can cause overloading of the loader andtractor which may result in a serious personalinjury.27. Using loaders for handling large heavy objects,such as large round or rectangular bales, logs andoil drums is not recommended.28. Handling large heavy objects can be extremelydangerous due to:이Danger of rolling the tractor over.Danger of upending the tractor.Danger of the object rolling or sliding down theloader boom onto the operator.29. If you must perform this sort of work (item 27),protect yourself by:30..Never lift the load higher than necessary toclear the ground.Adding rear ballast to the tractor tocompensate for the load.Never lift large object with equipment that maypermit it to roll back onto the operator.Moving slowly and carefully, avoiding roughterrain.It is the owner's responsibility to be certainanyone operating the loader read this manual firstto be aware of the safe way of operating theloader.
