-3SAFE OPERATION
ENGLISH
C Operators, age 60 years and above
Data indicates that operators, age 60 years and above,
are involved in a large percentage of machine-related
injuries. These operators should evaluate their ability to
operate the machine safely enough to protect themselves
and others from serious injury.
C Operation on slopes
Slopes are a major factor related to loss-of-control and tip-
over accidents, which can result in severe injury or death.
All slopes require extra caution.
If you cannot back up the slope or if you feel uneasy on it,
do not mow it. The control of a ride-on machine sliding on
a slope will not be regained by the application of the
brake.
DO
1. To avoid tip over, operate up and down slowly, not
across. Stay off hills and slopes too steep for safe
operation.
2. Remove obstacles such as rocks, tree limbs, etc.
3. Stay alert for holes in the terrain and other hidden
hazards. Keep away from drop-offs. Uneven terrain
could overturn the machine. Tall grass can hide
obstacles.
4. Use slow speed.
5. Follow the manufacturer's recommendations for wheel
weight or counterweights to improve stability.
6. The weight of grass in the grass container may
increase the possibility of tip over.
7. Keep all movement on the slopes slow and gradual.
Do not make sudden changes in speed or direction.
8. Avoid starting or stopping on a slope. If tires lose
traction, disengage PTO and proceed slowly straight
down the slope.
9. Reduce speed and exercise extreme caution on
slopes and in sharp turns to prevent tip-over or loss of
control.
10.Slow down, and use extra caution when changing
direction on a slope.
DO NOT
1. Do not turn on slopes unless necessary. If necessary,
turn uphill slowly and gradually.
2. Do not use the machine on slopes of more than 10 .
3. Do not mow near drop-offs, ditches, or embankments.
The mower could suddenly turn over if a wheel is over
the edge of cliff or ditch, or if an edge caves in.
4. Do not mow on wet grass. Reduced traction could
cause sliding and loss of control.
5. Do not try to stabilize the machine by putting your foot
on the ground.
6. Do not stop or start suddenly when going uphill or
downhill.
7. Never "freewheel". Do not let the machine travel
downhill with motion control levers at neutral lock
position or in neutral.
8. Do not operate machine without the mower deck
installed.
C Stopping
1. Do not park the machine on a steep incline. Park on
relatively flat areas.
2. Make sure that the machine and all attachments have
come to a complete stop before dismounting.
3. Before dismounting, apply parking brake, place the
motion control levers in their neutral lock positions,
disengage the PTO, lower all attachments to the
ground, turn off the engine, and remove the key.
4. Do not park the machine on dry grass or leaves.
1. Before installing or using PTO-driven equipment, read
the manufacturer's manual and review the safety
labels attached to the equipment.
2. Wait until all moving components have completely
stopped before connecting, disconnecting, adjusting,
cleaning, or servicing any PTO-driven equipment.
3. Use the PTO with KUBOTA approved attachments.
1. Use lift link only with authorized attachments designed
for lift link usage.
1. Disengage power to attachment(s) when transporting
or not in use.
2. Do not tow this machine. Use a suitable truck or trailer
when transporting on public roads.
3. Use extra care when loading or unloading the machine
into a trailer or truck.
4. This machine is not allowed to be used on public
roads.
