SAFE OPERATION Careful operation is your best insurance against an accident. Read this section carefully before operating the tractor. Alloperators, no matter how much experience they may have had, should read this and other related manuals before operating tractor or any implement attached to it. It is the owner's obligation to instruct all operators in safe operation.1. BEFORE OPERATING THE TRACTOR(1) Know your equipment and its limitations. Read this entire manual before attempting to start and operate the tractor.(2) Pay special attention to the warning and caution labels on the tractor itself.(3) KUBOTA recommends the use of a Roll Over Protective Structures (ROPS) and seat belt in almost all applications. This combination will reduce the risk of serious injury or death, should the tractor be upset.If the ROPS is loosened or removed for any reason, make sure that all parts are reinstalled correctly before operating the tractor.Never modify or repair a ROPS because welding, bending, drilling, grinding, or cutting any portion may weaken the structure.A damaged ROPS structure must be replaced, not repaired or revised. If any structural member of the ROPS is damaged, replace the entire structure at your local KUBOTA dealer.21(7) Before allowing other people to use your tractor,explain how to operate and have them read this manual before operation.(8) Never wear loose, torn, or bulky clothing around tractor. It may catch on moving parts or controls, leading to the risk of accident. Use additional safety items.....hard hat, safety boots or shoes, eye and hearing protection, gloves, etc.....as appropriate or required.(9) Do not allow passengers or non-qualified operators on the tractor at any time. The operator must remain in the tractor seat throughout operation.(10) Check brakes, clutch, and other mechanical parts for faulty adjustment and wear. Replace worn or damagedparts promptly. Check the tightness of all nuts and boltsregularly. (For further details, see MAINTENANCE ANDADJUSTMENTS.)(11) Keep your tractor clean. Dirt, grease, and trash accumulations contribute to fires and lead to personalinjury.(12) Use only implements meeting the specifications listedunder IMPLEMENT LIMITATIONS in this manual. Useproper weights to front or rear of tractor to reduce therisk of upsets. Follow the safe operating proceduresspecified in the manuals included with the equipment.(13) The narrower the tread, the greater the risk of a tractorupset. For maximum stability, adjust the wheels to thelargest practical tread width.(See page 27).F-62891ROPS 2 Seat belt(4) Always use the seat belt if the tractor has a ROPS. Donot use it if there is no ROPS. Check the seat belt dailyand replace if frayed or damaged.(5) Do not operate tractor or any implement attached to itwhile under the influence of alcohol, medication, orother substances or while fatigued.(6) Carefully check the vicinity before operating tractor orany implement attached to it. Check for overheadclearance which may interfere with a ROPS. Do notallow any bystanders around or near tractor duringoperation.F-70641 Rear wheelsA Tread width
