Important Safety Information

4/9/19

Important Safety Information

Listed below are common practices that may or may not be applicable to the products

described in this manual.



Look for the Safety Alert Symbol

The SAFETY ALERT SYMBOL indicates there is a

potential hazard to personal safety involved and extra

safety precaution must be taken. When you see this

symbol, be alert and carefully read the message that

follows it. In addition to design and configuration of

equipment, hazard control, and accident prevention are

dependent upon the awareness, concern, prudence, and

proper training of personnel involved in the operation,

transport, maintenance, and storage of equipment.

Safety at All Times

Careful operation is your best

assurance against an accident.

All operators, no matter how much

experience they may have, should

carefully read this manual and

other related manuals, or have the

manuals read to them, before

operating the power machine and

this attachment.

 Thoroughly read and understand

the “Safety Label” section. Read

all instructions noted on them.

 Do not operate the equipment

while under the influence of drugs

or alcohol as they impair the ability

to safely and properly operate the

equipment.

 Operator should be familiar with all

functions of the tractor/skid steer

and attachment and be able to

handle emergencies quickly.

 Make sure all guards and shields

appropriate for the operation are in

place and secured before

operating attachment.

 Keep all bystanders away from

equipment and work area.

 Start tractor/skid steer from the

driver’s seat with steering levers

and hydraulic controls in neutral.

 Operate tractor/skid steer and

controls from the driver’s seat only.

 Never dismount from a moving

tractor/skid steer or leave machine

unattended with engine running.

 Do not allow anyone to stand

between tractor/skid steer and

 Keep hands, feet, and clothing

away from power-driven parts.

 While transporting and operating

equipment, watch out for objects

overhead and along side such as

fences, trees, buildings, wires, etc.

 Store attachment in an area where

children normally do not play.

When needed, secure attachment

against falling with support blocks.

Safety Precautions for

Children

Tragedy can occur if the operator

is not alert to the presence of

children. Children generally are

attracted to attachments and their

work.

 Never assume children will remain

where you last saw them.

 Keep children out of the work area

and under the watchful eye of a

responsible adult.

 Be alert and shut the attachment

and skid steer/track loader down if

not a safe place for them to ride.

They may fall off and be run over

or interfere with the control of the

power machine.

 Never allow children to operate the

power machine, even under adult

supervision.

 Never allow children to play on the

power machine or attachment.

 Use extra caution when backing

up. Before the power machine

starts to move, look down and

behind to make sure the area is

clear.

Be Aware of

Signal Words

A signal word designates a degree or

level of hazard seriousness. The

signal words are:

Indicates a hazardous situation that, if

not avoided, will result in death or

serious injury.

Indicates a hazardous situation that, if

not avoided, could result in death or

serious injury.

Indicates a hazardous situation that, if

not avoided, may result in minor or

moderate injury.

WARNING

CAUTION

DANGER

Important Safety Information

4/9/19

These are common practices that may or may not be applicable to the products described in

this manual.

Transport Safely

 Comply with federal, state, and

local laws.

 Use towing vehicle and trailer of

adequate size and capacity. Secure

equipment towed on a trailer with

tie downs and chains.

 Sudden braking can cause a towed

trailer to swerve and upset. Reduce

speed if towed trailer is not

equipped with brakes.

 Avoid contact with any overhead

utility lines or electrically charged

conductors.

 Always drive with load on end of

loader arms low to the ground.

 Always drive straight up and down

steep inclines with heavy end of

skid steer or tractor with loader

attachment on the “uphill” side.

 Engage park brake when stopped

on an incline.

 Maximum transport speed for an

attached equipment is 20 mph. DO

NOT EXCEED. Never travel at a

speed which does not allow

adequate control of steering and

stopping. Some rough terrains

require a slower speed.

 As a guideline, use the following

maximum speed weight ratios for

attached equipment:

20 mph when weight of attached

equipment is less than or equal

to the weight of machine towing

the equipment.

10 mph when weight of attached

equipment exceeds weight of

machine towing equipment but

not more than double the weight.

 IMPORTANT: Do not tow a load

that is more than double the weight

of the vehicle towing the load.

Practice Safe Maintenance

 Understand procedure before doing

work. Refer to the Operator’s Manual

for additional information.

 Work on a level surface in a clean

dry area that is well-lit.

 Lower attachment to the ground and

follow all shutdown procedures

before leaving the operator’s seat to

perform maintenance.

 Do not work under any hydraulic

supported equipment. It can settle,

suddenly leak down, or be lowered

accidentally. If it is necessary to work

under the equipment, securely

support it with stands or suitable

blocking beforehand.

 Use properly grounded electrical

outlets and tools.

 Use correct tools and equipment for

the job that are in good condition.

 Allow equipment to cool before

working on it.

 Disconnect battery ground cable (-)

before servicing or adjusting

electrical systems or before welding

on equipment.

 Inspect all parts. Make certain parts

are in good condition & installed

properly.

 Replace parts on this attachment

with genuine Kubota parts only. Do

not alter this attachment in a way

which will adversely affect its

performance.

 Do not grease or oil attachment

while it is in operation.

 Remove buildup of grease, oil, or

debris.

 Always make sure any material and

waste products from the repair and

maintenance of the attachment are

properly collected and disposed.

 Remove all tools and unused parts

from the equipment before

operation.

Dig Safe - Avoid

Underground Utilities

 USA: Call 811

CAN: digsafecanada.ca

Always contact your local utility

companies (electrical, telephone,

gas, water, sewer, and others)

before digging so that they may

mark the location of any

underground services in the

area.

 Be sure to ask how close you can

work to the marks they

positioned.

Tire Safety

 Tire changing can be dangerous

and must be performed by

trained personnel using the

correct tools and equipment.

 Always maintain correct tire

pressure. Do not inflate tires

above recommended pressures

shown in the Operator’s Manual.

 When inflating tires, use a clip-on

chuck and extension hose long

enough to allow you to stand to

one side and NOT in front of or

over the tire assembly. Use a

safety cage if available.

 Securely support the attachment

when changing a wheel.

 When removing and installing

wheels, use wheel handling

equipment adequate for the

weight involved.

 Make sure wheel bolts have been

tightened to the specified torque.

Important Safety Information

4/9/19

Listed below are common practices that may or may not be applicable to the products

described in this manual.

Avoid High

Pressure Fluids Hazard

 Escaping fluid under pressure can

penetrate the skin causing serious

injury.

 Relieve all residual pressure

before disconnecting hydraulic

lines or performing work on the

hydraulic system.

 Make sure all hydraulic fluid

connections are tight and all

hydraulic hoses and lines are in

good condition before applying

pressure to the system.

 Use a piece of paper or

cardboard, NOT BODY PARTS, to

check for suspected leaks.

 Wear protective gloves and safety

glasses or goggles when working

with hydraulic systems.

 DO NOT DELAY. If an accident

occurs, see a doctor familiar with

and seat belt will reduce the risk

of serious injury or death if the

power machine should be upset.

 If ROPS is in the locked-up

position, fasten seat belt snugly

and securely to help protect

against serious injury or death

from falling and machine

overturn.

Prepare for Emergencies

 Be prepared if a fire starts.

 Keep a first aid kit and fire

extinguisher handy.

 Keep emergency numbers for

doctor, ambulance, hospital, and

fire department near phone.

911

Use Safety

Lights and Devices

 A slow moving excavator can

create a hazard when driven on

public roads. They are difficult to

see, especially at night. Use the

Slow Moving Vehicle (SMV) sign

when on public roads.

 Flashing warning lights and turn

signals are recommended

whenever driving on public roads.

direction intended and then reconnect hoses to the

tractor/skid steer outlets.

4. For additional help, refer to Hydraulic Hook-up in

your tractor/skid steer Operator’s Manual.

Equipment Clearances

It is important to check clearance before putting unit into

operation. Make sure hoses are long enough and won’t

become pinched or entangled in the equipment. Also,

make sure Trip Blade and moldboard do not come in

contact with tractor/skid steer frame and tires by carefully

going through its full range of motions.

1. Visually inspect hydraulic hoses for possible pinch

points and shortness. Make hose adjustments before

ever starting the machine.

2. Start tractor/skid steer and raise blade off the ground

approximately 12". If necessary, have someone

stand nearby that can motion to the operator to stop

if a problem develops.

3. Fully extend blade cylinder to angle blade left and

then fully extend and retract hydraulic cylinders on

end of loader arms while watching for interferences

with hydraulic hoses and blade.

4. Fully retract blade cylinder and then fully extend and

retract hydraulic cylinders on end of loader arms

while watching for interferences with hydraulic hoses

and blade.

5. Raise blade fully up and repeat steps 3 & 4 above.

Purging Hydraulic System

1. With blade raised off the ground about 12", cycle

hydraulic cylinder several times from fully extended

to fully retracted.

Refer to Figure 1-2 on page 12:

2. If cylinder operates unevenly after cycling it several

times, then purge the system as follows:

a. Loosen hydraulic hose fitting (#4) at the rod end of

the hydraulic cylinder (#3).

b. Slowly retract and extend the cylinder to purge

any trapped air from the system.

c. Tighten fitting (#4) when all trapped air is

removed.

IMPORTANT: Purge hydraulic cylinders and/or

hoses of air before putting the equipment into

service. Not purging the system can cause uneven

cylinder movement and positioning.
