SAFETY WORKING
A Do not work on the machine while under the
influence of alcohol, medication, orothersubstances
or while fatigued.
A Wear close fitting clothing and safety equipment
appropriate to the job.
A Use tools appropriate to the work. Makeshift tools,
parts, and procedures are not recommended.
A When servicing is performed together by two or
more persons, take care to perform all work safely.
A Do not work under the machine that is supported
solely by a jack. Always support the machine by
safety stands.
A Do not touch the rotating or hot parts while the
engine is running.
A Never remove the radiator cap while the engine is
running, or immediately after stopping. Otherwise,
hot water will spout out from radiator. Only remove
radiator cap when cool enough to touch with bare
hands. Slowly loosen the cap to first stop to relieve
pressure before removing completely.
A Escaping fluid (fuel or hydraulic oil) under pressure
can penetrate the skin causing serious injury.
Relieve pressure before disconnecting hydraulic or
fuel lines. Tighten all connections before applying
pressure.
AVOID FIRES
A Fuel is extremely flammable and explosive under
certain conditions. Do not smoke or allow flames or
sparks in your working area.
A To avoid sparks from an accidental short circuit,
always disconnect the battery negative cable first
and connect it last.
A Battery gas can explode. Keep sparks and open
flame away from the top of battery, especially when
charging the battery.
A Make sure that no fuel has been spilled on the
engine.

VENTILATE WORK AREA
A If the engine mustbe runningto do somework, make
sure the area iswell ventilated.Never run the engine
in a closed area. The exhaust gas contains
poisonous carbon monoxide.
PREVENT ACID BURNS
A Sulfuric acid in battery electrolyte is poisonous. It is
strong enough to burn skin, clothing and cause
blindness if splashed into eyes. Keep electrolyte
away from eyes, hands and clothing. If you spill
electrolyte on yourself, flush with water, and get
medical attention immediately.
DISPOSE OF FLUIDS PROPERLY
A Do not pour fluids into the ground, down a drain, or
into a stream, pond, or lake. Observe relevant
environmental protection regulations when
disposing of oil, fuel, coolant, electrolyte and other
harmful waste.
PREPARE FOR EMERGENCIES
A Keep a first aid kit and fire extinguisher handy at all
times.
A Keep emergency numbers for doctors, ambulance
service, hospital and fire department near your
telephone.

2. GENERAL PRECAUTIONS
A During disassembly, carefully arrange removed parts in a
clean area to prevent confusion later. Screws, bolts and nuts
should be installed in their original position to prevent
reassembly errors.
A When special tools are required, use KUBOTA genuine
special tools. Special tools which are not frequently used
should be made according to the drawings provided.
A Before disassembling or servicing electrical wires, always
disconnect the ground cable from the battery first.
A Remove oil and dirt from parts before measuring.
A Use only KUBOTA genuine parts for parts replacement to
maintain machine performance and to assure safety.
A Gaskets and O-rings must be replaced during reassembly.
Apply grease to new O-rings or oil seals before assembling.
See the figure left side.
A When reassembling externalsnap rings orinternal snap rings,
they must be positioned so that sharp edge faces against the
direction from which a force is applied. See the figure left side.
A When inserting spring pins, their splits must face the direction
from which a force is applied. See the figure left side.
A To preventdamage to the hydraulic system, use only specified
fluid or equivalent.

3. HANDLING PRECAUTIONS FOR ELECTRICAL PARTS
AND WIRING To ensure safety and prevent damage to the machine and
surrounding equipment, heed the following precautions in
handling electrical parts and wiring.
A Check electrical wiring for damage and loosened
connection every year. To this end, educate the customer
to do his or her own check and at the same time
recommend the dealer to perform periodic check for a fee.
A Do not attempt to modify or remodel any electrical parts
and wiring.
A When removing the battery cables, disconnect the
negative cable first. When installing the battery cables,
connect the positive cable first.
[1] WIRING
A Securely tighten wiring terminals.
A Do not let wiring contact dangerous part.
A Securely insert grommet.

[2] BATTERY
A Take care not to confuse positive and negative terminal posts.
A When removing battery cables, disconnect negative cable
first. When installing battery cables, check for polarity and
connect positive cable first.
A Do not install any battery with capacity other than is specified
(Ah).
A After connecting cables to battery terminal posts, apply high
temperature grease to them and securely install terminal
covers on them.
A Do not allow dirt and dust to collect on battery.
A Take care not to let battery liquid spill on your skin and
clothes. If contaminated, wash it off with water
immediately.
A Before recharging the battery, remove it from the
machine.
A Before recharging, remove cell caps.
A Do recharging in a well-ventilated place where there is no
open flame nearby, as hydrogen gas and oxygen are
formed.
[3] FUSE
A Use fuses with specified capacity.
Neither too large or small capacity fuse is acceptable.
A Never use steel or copper wire in place of fuse.
A Do not install working light, radio set, etc. on machine which is
not provided with reserve power supply.
A Do not install accessories if fuse capacity of reserve power
supply is exceeded.
