SAFE OPERATION
Careful operation is your best insurance against an
accident.
The owner/user can prevent and is responsible for
accidents or injuries occurring to themselves, other
people or property. Read and understand this manual
carefully before operating the machine. All operators,
no matter how much experience they may have had,
must read this and other related manuals before
operating the machine or any implement attached to it.
It is the owner's obligation to instruct all operators in
safe operation.
If the operator(s) or mechanic(s) cannot understand the
contents, it is the owner's responsibility to explain this
material to them. This mowing machine is capable of
amputating hands, feet and throwing objects. Failure to
observe the following safety instructions could result in
serious injury or death.
BEFORE OPERATING THE
MACHINE
Know your equipment and its limitations. Read all
instructions in this manual before attempting to start
and operate the machine.
1. General
• Know the controls and how to stop quickly.
• Pay special attention to the safety labels on the
machine itself.
• The exhaust gas from the muffler is very hot. To
prevent fire, do not expose dry grass, mowed
grass, oil or any other combustible materials to
exhaust gas. Keep the engine and muffler clean all
the time.
• Do not wear loose, torn, or bulky clothing around
the machine. The clothing may catch on moving
parts or controls, leading to the risk of an accident.
Wear and use any additional safety items such as a
hard hat, safety boots or shoes, eye and hearing
protection, gloves and so on, as appropriate or
required.
• Do not operate the machine or any attachments
while under the influence of alcohol, medication,
controlled substances or when fatigued.
• Check brakes and other mechanical parts for
correct adjustment and wear. Replace worn or
damaged parts promptly. Check the tightness of all
nuts and bolts regularly.
(See MAINTENANCE on page 36.)
• Keep the machine and attachments in good
operating condition and keep safety devices in
place and in proper working condition.
• This machine is equipped with many safety
devices. Do not attempt to remove or alter them.
• Keep all shields and guards in place. Replace all
missing or damaged items for your safety.
• Do not allow any bystanders around or near
machine during operation.
Be sure the area is clear of other people before
mowing.
Stop machine if anyone enters the area.
• Before allowing other people to use your machine,
explain proper operation to them and have them
read this manual before operation.
• Do not allow passengers or non-qualified operators
on the machine at any time. You must operate the
machine from the seat only.
• Carefully check the area to be mowed and clear
any objects such as rocks, bottles, cans, toys, etc.,
that may damage the mower, the grass catcher or
cause personal injury.
• Keep your machine clean. Accumulations of dirt,
grease, and trash can contribute to fires and lead to
personal injury.
• Keep all nuts, bolts, and screws tight to be sure the
equipment is in safe working condition. Check the
mower blade mounting bolts for proper tightness at
frequent intervals.
• Use only implements recommended by KUBOTA.
Use proper ballast on the front or rear of the
machine to reduce the risk of upsets. Follow the
safe operating procedures specified in the manuals
of the equipment.
• Follow the maintenance recommendations. (See
MAINTENANCE on page 36.)
• It is recommended that your machine be thoroughly
inspected at least once a year by an authorized
KUBOTA Dealer.
OPERATING THE MACHINE
1. Starting to operate the machine
• Never start engine or operate levers from anywhere
other than the seat.
• Before starting the engine, make sure that all levers
(including auxiliary control levers) are in their
neutral positions, that the parking brake is engaged,
and that both the mower clutch and the power take-
off (PTO) are disengaged.
