SAFE OPERATION

3
Careful operation is your best insurance against an accident. Read and understand this section carefully before
operation. All operators, no matter how experienced they may be, should read this and other related manuals
before operation of the machine or any implement attached to it. It is the owner's obligation to instruct all
operators in safe operation.
This cutting machine is capable of amputating hands and feet and throwing objects. Failure to observe the
following safety instructions could result in serious injury or death.
1. Mow up and down slopes, not across, to avoid
machine tip-over. Stay off hills and slopes too
steep for safe operation.
2. Do not operate where machine could tip or slip.
Do not operate
embankments, or other terrain which may
collapse under the machine's weight. The risk of
machine tip-over is increased when the ground is
loose or wet.
3. Raise and dump collected leaves or grass
clippings ONLY while sitting on the operator's
seat.
4. Empty the grass container ONLY from a firm and
level surface, with the mower stopped, and the
unit stationary. Dumping the grass container on
soft or uneven ground, or while moving, could
cause the unit to tip over, causing serious injury
and extensive equipment damage.
5. Make sure the dumping area is clear of all
bystanders and pets, before emptying grass
clippings or leaves from the grass container.
6. Know what is behind you and disengage power to
mower before backing up. Do not mow while in
reverse unless absolutely necessary and only
after observation of the entire area behind the
mower.
7. When mowing for the first time, cut the grass
higher than desired.
This will uncover any unseen object that may
damage the mower or grass catcher.
8. Always inspect the mower and grass catcher after
striking any foreign object. This will insure that all
mower and grass catcher parts are safe and
secure and not damaged.
Repair or replace any damaged parts before re-
starting.
near ditches, holes,
9. Do not operate the mower without either the
grass container or the guard in place.
Be aware of the mower discharge direction and
do not point it at anyone.
10. Shut the engine off and wait for all movement to
stop before unclogging chute.
11. Use only implements recommended by KUBOTA.
Use proper ballast to front or rear of machine to
reduce the risk of upsets. Follow the "Safe
Operation" procedures,
Equipment's Manual.
12. Moisture content in most grasses can damage the
mower and grass catcher if these components are
not properly cleaned after use. Also, dry grass
and leaves left in the container can be a fire
hazard. Always make sure the container and the
duct are clean and completely empty before
storage.
13. Follow KUBOTA's recommendations for wheel
weights or counterweights to improve stability.
14. The weight of grass in the grass container may
increase the possibility of tip over.
15. With the grass container raised, do not run the
machine too fast, on slopes, nor make a sharp
turn. Otherwise the machine may turn over.
16. Keep hands away from the grass container, while
lowering it. Otherwise they may get caught.
