DIESEL FUEL
1. Under no circumstances should gasoline,
alcohol, or blended fuels be added to diesel
fuel. These combinations can create an
increased fire or explosive hazard. Such
blends are more explosive than pure gasoline
in a closed container such as a fuel tank. DO
NOT USE THESE BLENDS.
2. Never remove the fuel cap or refuel with the
engine running or hot.
3. Do not smoke while refueling or when
standing near fuel. Keep any type of open
flame away.
4. Maintain control of the fuel filler pipe nozzle
when filling the tank.
5. Do not fill the fuel tank to capacity. Allow
room for expansion.
6. Wipe up spilled fuel immediately.
7. Always tighten the fuel tank cap securely.
8. If the original fuel tank cap is lost, replace it
with SHIBAURA approved cap. A
non-approved cap may not be safe.
9. Never use fuel for cleaning purposes.
10. Arrange fuel purchases so that winter grade
fuels are not held over and used in the
spring.
SAFETY FRAME (ROPS)
Your SHIBAURA Tractor is equipped with a
safety frame. It must be maintained in a
serviceable condition. Be careful when driving
through doorways or working in confined spaces
with low headroom.
UNDER NO CIRCUMSTANCES:
•. …modify, drill or alter the safety frame in any
way. Doing so may render you liable to legal
prosecution.
•. …attempt to straighten or weld any part of the
safety frame or retaining brackets which have
suffered damage. Doing so may weaken the
structure and endanger your safety.
•. …secure any parts on the safety frame or
attach your safety frame with anything other
than FOPS (see page 1-11), OPS and the
special high tensile bolts and nuts specified.
•. …attach chains or ropes to the safety frame for
pulling purposes.
•. …take unnecessary risks even though your
safety frame affords you the maximum
protection possible.
SAFTY FRAME (OPS)
This tractor is not provided with OPS
(Objects-Penetrating-System) structure; please
carefully read the following important information
especially when working in a forestry
environment.
FORESTRY APPLICATIONS
This tractor is not designed for heavy forestry
applications; usage is prohibited unless a
certified FORESTY KIT is installed; contact your
SHIBAURA dealer to verify whether a forestry kit
exists for this tractor model.
Only a forestry specific kit will provide necessary
protection against falling trees (FOPS) and
penetrating objects (OPS) such as toppling trees,
including but not limited to, in case a
rear-mounted tree grab-crane is mounted at the
rear of the tractor or penetrating objects in the
operator’s enclosure, primarily in case a winch is
mounted at the rear of the tractor.
Protection against penetrating objects (OPS) can
be obtained with additional grid-guard protection
installed on the tubular part of ROPS; consult
your SHIBAURA dealer to check whether OPS
certified KIT exists.
