SAFE OPERATION

-1

SAFE OPERATION
Careful operation is your best insurance against an
accident.
Read and understand this Operator's Manual carefully
before operating the vehicle.
All operators, no matter how much experience they may
have, should read this and other related manuals before
operating the vehicle or any implement attached to it. It is
the owner's obligation to instruct all operators in safe
operation.

1. BEFORE OPERATING THE VEHICLE
1. Know your equipment and its limitations. Read this
entire manual before attempting to start and operate
the vehicle.
2. Pay special attention to the Danger, Warning and
Caution labels on the vehicle.
3. Do not remove Roll-Over Protective Structures
(ROPS) for any application and fasten seat belts at all
times. This combination will reduce the risk of serious
injury or death, should the vehicle be upset.
If the ROPS is loosened or removed for any reason,
make sure that all parts are reinstalled correctly before
operating the vehicle.
Never modify or repair a ROPS because welding,
bending, drilling, grinding, or cutting may weaken the
structure.
If any structural member of the ROPS is damaged,
replace the entire structure at your local KUBOTA
Dealer.

(1) ROPS
(2) Seat belt

4. Always use the seat belts. Check the seat belts
regularly and replace if frayed or damaged.
5. Do not operate the vehicle or any implement attached
to it while under the influence of alcohol, medication,
controlled substances or while fatigued.

6. Carefully check the vicinity before operating the
vehicle or any implement attached to it. Check for
overhead clearance which may interfere with the CAB
or ROPS. Do not allow any bystanders around or near
the vehicle during operation.
7. Never allow anyone under age 16 or without a valid
driver's license to operate this vehicle.
8. Before allowing other people to use your vehicle,
explain how to operate and have them read this
manual before operation.
9. Never wear loose, torn, or bulky clothing around the
vehicle. It may catch on moving parts or controls,
leading to the risk of an accident. Use additional safety
items, e.g. helmet, safety boots or shoes, eye and
hearing protection, gloves, etc., as appropriate or
required.
10. This vehicle is for off road use only.
KUBOTA does not recommend operating on public
roads.
11. In addition to the driver, only 1 passenger should ride
in the vehicle.
Minimum age for passenger is 5 years old.
12. Keep all shields in place and stay away from all
moving parts.
13. Check brakes, speed control pedal, and other
mechanical parts for improper adjustment and wear.
Replace worn or damaged parts promptly. Check the
tightness of all nuts and bolts regularly. (For further
details, see "MAINTENANCE" section.)
14. Keep your vehicle clean. Dirt, grease, and trash build
up may contribute to fires and lead to personal injury.
15. Use only implements meeting the specifications listed
under "VEHICLE LIMITATIONS" in this manual or
implements approved by KUBOTA.
16. The maximum cargo capacity of this vehicle is 500 kg
(1100 lbs.). Reduce cargo capacity to match operating
conditions.
Avoid top-heavy loading and ensure that the center-ofgravity remains as low as possible.
Do not carry anything which sticks outside the cargo
bed.
17. Do not modify the vehicle. Unauthorized modification
may affect the function of the vehicle, which may result
in personal injury.
18. Do not carry small children on lap.

SAFE OPERATION

2. OPERATING THE VEHICLE
Operator safety is a priority. Safe operation, specifically
with respect to overturning hazards, entails understanding
the equipment and environmental conditions at the time of
use. Some prohibited uses which can affect overturning
hazards include traveling and turning with implements
and loads carried too high etc. This manual sets forth
some of the obvious risks, but the list is not, and cannot
be, exhaustive. It is the operator's responsibility to be alert
for any equipment or environmental condition that could
compromise safe operation.
C Starting
1. Always sit in the operator's seat when starting engine
or operating levers or controls.
2. Before starting the engine, make sure that all levers
are in their neutral positions, that the parking brake is
engaged, and that the hydraulic outlet (if equipped) is
OFF. And make sure the engine hand throttle (if
equipped) is in its idle engine speed position.
3. Do not start engine by shorting across starter
terminals or bypassing the safety start switch. The
vehicle may start in gear and move if normal starting
circuitry is bypassed.
4. Be sure that the operator (and passenger) are properly
positioned and seat belts are appropriately fastened.
5. Do not operate or idle engine in a non-ventilated area.
Carbon monoxide gas is colorless, odorless, and
deadly.
C
1.
2.
3.

Operating
Always wear the seat belt when operating the unit.
Do not wear headphones while operating.
Pull only from the trailer hitch (if equipped). Never hitch
to any other point except trailer hitch; such
arrangements will increase the risk of serious personal
injury or death due to a vehicle upset.

(1) Trailer hitch (if equipped)

4. Keep all shields and guards in place. Replace any that
are missing or damaged.

5. Avoid sudden starts. To avoid rollovers, slow down
when turning, on uneven ground, and before stopping.
While increasing engine speed with the engine hand
throttle (if equipped), operate the speed control pedal
with great care to avoid sudden starts.
6. The vehicle cannot turn with the differential locked and
attempting to do so could be dangerous.
7. Do not operate near ditches, holes, embankments, or
other ground surface features which may collapse
under the vehicle's weight. The risk of vehicle upset is
even higher when the ground is loose or wet.
8. Watch where you are going at all times. Watch for and
avoid obstacles. Be alert at row ends, near trees, and
other obstructions.
9. When working in groups, always let the others know
what you are going to do before you do it.
10. Never try to get on or off a moving vehicle.
11. Do not stand between vehicle and trailer unless
parking brake is applied.
C Safety for children
Tragedy can occur if the operator is not alert to the
presence of children. Children generally are attracted to
vehicles and the work they do.
1. Never assume that children will remain where you last
saw them.
2. Keep children out of the work area and under the
watchful eye of another responsible adult.
3. Be alert and shut your vehicle down if children enter
the work area.
4. Never carry children in the cargo bed. There is no safe
place for them to ride. No person under the age of 5
may ride as a passenger in this vehicle. A passenger
under 5 years of age requires special restraints which
are not available with this vehicle.
5. Never allow children to operate the vehicle even under
adult supervision.
6. Never allow children to play on the vehicle or on the
implement.
7. Use extra caution when backing up. Look behind and
down to make sure area is clear before moving.
8. Whenever possible, park your vehicle on a firm, flat
and level surface. If this is not possible, park it across
the slope. Set the parking brake(s), lower the
implements to the ground, remove the key from the
ignition and lock the door (if equipped) and chock the
wheels.
C Operating on slopes
Slopes are a major factor related to loss-of-control and tipover accidents, which can result in severe injury or death.
All slopes require extra caution.
1. Travel straight up or down hill.
2. Reduce load when operating on hilly or over rough
terrain.
3. Keep front wheels straight at crest of hill or going over
bumps.

SAFE OPERATION

4. Do not stop or start suddenly when going uphill or
downhill. Be especially cautious when changing
direction on slopes.
5. If vehicle stops or loses power going up a hill, lock
parking brake to hold vehicle on slope. Maintain
direction of travel and release brake slowly. Back
straight downhill while maintaining control. Do not turn
vehicle sideways. Vehicle is more stable in a straight
forward or rearward position.
6. When riding on soft terrain, turn front wheels slightly
uphill to keep vehicle on a straight line across the hill.
7. If the vehicle begins to tip, turn front wheels downhill to
gain control before proceeding.
(1) To avoid upsets, always back up steep slopes. If
you cannot back up the slope or if you feel uneasy
on it, do not operate on it. Stay off slopes too
steep for safe operation.
(2) Driving forward out of a ditch, mired condition or
up a steep slope increases the risk of a vehicle to
be upset backward. Always back out of these
situations. Extra caution is required with 4-wheel
drive mode because the increased traction can
give the operator false confidence in the vehicle's
ability to climb slopes.
(3) Keep all movement on slopes slow and gradual.
Do not make sudden changes in speed, direction
or apply brake and make sudden motions of the
steering wheel.
(4) Special attention should be made to the weight
and location of implements and loads as such will
affect the stability of the vehicle.
C Operation in inclement conditions
1. Only operate during daylight or with good artificial
light.
2. Operate vehicle in an open, unobstructed area.
3. Use helmet and/or protective gear as appropriate or
required for the operating conditions.
4. Reduce speed according to trail, terrain and visibility
conditions.
5. Never drive exceeding the limit of visibility. Slow down
near crest of hill until getting a clear view of the other
side.
6. Stay alert for holes, rocks and other hidden hazards in
the terrain.
7. Never cross any body of water where depth may be
unknown to the operator (Deep water is considered
anything in excess the bottom edge of the axle cap).
Choose a course within the waterway where both
banks have a gradual incline. Cross at a point known
to be safe.
C Driving the vehicle at high speeds
1. Check the front wheel engagement. The braking
characteristics are different between 2 and 4 wheel
drive. Be aware of the difference and use carefully.
2. Always slow the vehicle down before turning. Turning
at high speed may tip the vehicle over.
3. Turn the headlights on.

-3

4. Drive at speeds that allow you to maintain control at all
times.
5. Do not apply the differential lock while traveling at high
speeds. The vehicle may run out of control.
6. Avoid sudden motions of the steering wheel as they
can lead to a dangerous loss of stability. The risk is
especially great when the vehicle is traveling at high
speeds.
C Other miscellaneous
1. Clean platform if dirty and remove any debris from
around foot controls.
2. Always keep both hands on the steering wheel.
3. Always keep arms and legs inside the operating
compartment.
4. Never operate the vehicle while standing.
5. Do not tow a cart with any riders on it.
6. Never attempt wheelies, jumps or other stunts.

3. HAULING LOADS IN THE CARGO BED
1.
2.
3.
4.

No riders in cargo bed or anywhere else.
Do not overload vehicle. Securely anchor all loads.
Be sure load is evenly distributed.
Reduce cargo capacity when operating on rough or
hilly terrain.
5. Balance loads evenly and secure them. Braking could
shift the load and affect vehicle stability.
6. Never operate vehicle with the cargo bed raised.
7. Operate cargo bed dump with vehicle stationary and
parking brake locked. Do not dump while moving.
8. Operate hydraulic dump (if equipped) on level ground
only.
9. Operate dump from operator's seat only.
10. Do not place hands or body under the cargo bed when
lowering bed.

4. OPERATING HYDRAULIC OUTLET
DRIVEN EQUIPMENT (IF EQUIPPED)
1. Before installing or using hydraulic outlet driven
equipment, read the manufacturer's manual and
review the safety labels attached to the equipment.
2. Wait until all moving components have completely
stopped before getting off the vehicle, connecting,
disconnecting, adjusting, cleaning, or servicing any
hydraulically driven equipment.
3. When operating stationary hydraulically driven
equipment, always apply the vehicle parking brake
and place chocks behind and in front of the rear
wheels. Stay clear of all rotating parts. Never step over
rotating parts.

7. SERVICING THE VEHICLE

(1) Hydraulic outlet (if equipped)

5. PARKING THE VEHICLE
1. Make sure the HYDRAULIC OUTLET is off (if
equipped), lower all implements to the ground, place
all control levers in their neutral positions, set the
parking brake, stop the engine, and remove the key.
2. Make sure that the vehicle has come to a complete
stop before dismounting.
3. Avoid parking on steep slopes, if at all possible park on
a firm and level surface; if not, park across a slope with
chock the wheels and always with attachment on the
ground.
Failure to comply with this warning may allow the
vehicle to move and could cause injury or death.

Before servicing the vehicle, park it on a firm, flat and level
surface, set the parking brake, lower all implements to the
ground, place the range gear shift lever in neutral, stop the
engine and remove the key.
1. Allow the vehicle time to cool off before working on or
near the engine, muffler, radiator, etc.
2. Always stop the engine before refueling. Avoid spills
and overfilling.
3. Do not smoke when working around battery or when
refueling. Keep all sparks and flames away from
battery and fuel tank. The battery presents an
explosive hazard, because it gives off hydrogen and
oxygen especially when recharging.
4. Before "jump starting" a dead battery, read and follow
all of the instructions. (See "JUMP STARTING" in
"OPERATING THE ENGINE" section.)
5. Keep first aid kit and fire extinguisher handy at all
times.
6. Disconnect the battery's ground cable before working
on or near electric components.
7. To avoid the possibility of battery explosion, do not use
or charge the refillable type battery if the fluid level is
below the LOWER (lower limit level) mark. Check the
fluid level regularly and add distilled water as required
so that the fluid level is between the UPPER and
LOWER marks.
8. To avoid sparks from an accidental short circuit,
always disconnect the battery's ground cable (-) first
and reconnect it last.

6. TRANSPORTING
1. Disengage power to attachment(s) when transporting
or not in use.
2. Do not tow this vehicle. Use a suitable truck or trailer
when transporting on public roads.
3. Use extra care when loading or unloading the vehicle
into a trailer or truck.

9. Do not remove radiator cap while coolant is hot. When
cool, slowly rotate cap to the first stop and allow
sufficient time for excess pressure to escape before
removing the cap completely. This vehicle has a
coolant recovery tank, add coolant or water to the tank,
not the radiator. (See "Checking Coolant Level" in
"DAILY CHECK" in "PERIODIC SERVICE" section.)

SAFE OPERATION

10. Do not attempt to mount a tire on a rim. This should be
done by a qualified person with the proper equipment.
11. Always maintain the correct tire pressure. Do not
inflate tires above the recommended pressure shown
in the operator's manual.

12. Securely support the vehicle when changing wheels.
13. Make sure that wheel bolts and nuts have been
tightened to the specified torque.
14. Do not work under any hydraulically supported
devices. They can settle, suddenly leak down, or be
accidentally lowered. If it is necessary to work under
the vehicle or any vehicle elements for servicing or
adjustment, securely support them with stands or
suitable blocking beforehand.
15. Escaping hydraulic fluid under pressure has sufficient
force to penetrate skin causing serious personal injury.
Before disconnecting hydraulic lines, be sure to
release all residual pressure. Before applying
pressure to the hydraulic system, make sure that all
connections are tight and that all lines, pipes, and
hoses are free of damage.

16. Fluid escaping from pinholes may be invisible. Do not
use hands to search for suspected leaks; use a piece
of cardboard or wood. Use of safety goggles or other
eye protection is also highly recommended. If injured
by escaping fluid, see a medical doctor at once. This
fluid will produce gangrene or severe allergic reaction.

hydraulic lift cylinder and the hydraulic outlet
levers to the "OFF" position with restricting
plate (if equipped) during warm-up.
For 5 minutes after engine start-up, allow engine to warm
up without applying any load. This is to allow oil to reach
every part of the engine. If load should be applied to the
engine without this warm-up period, problems may
develop such as seizure, breakage or premature wear
may develop.

BWarm-Up Transmission Oil in the Low
Temperature Range
Hydraulic oil serves as transmission fluid. In cold weather,
the oil may be cold with increased viscosity. This can
cause delayed oil circulation or abnormally low hydraulic
pressure for some time after engine start-up. This in turn
can create problems with the hydraulic system.
To prevent the above, observe the following instructions:
Warm up the engine at about 50% of rated rpm according
to the table below:
Ambient temperature
Above 0
-10 to 0

OPERATING THE VEHICLE

OPERATING THE VEHICLE
OPERATING NEW VEHICLE

How a new vehicle is handled and maintained determines
the life of the vehicle.
A new vehicle just off the factory production line has been
tested, but the various parts are not accustomed to each
other, so care should be taken to operate the vehicle for
the first 50 hours at a slower speed and avoid excessive
work or operation until the various parts become "brokenin." The manner in which the vehicle is handled during the
"breaking-in." period greatly affects the life of your vehicle.
Therefore, to obtain the maximum performance and the
longest life of the vehicle, it is very important to properly
break-in your vehicle. In handling a new vehicle, the
following precautions should be observed.

STARTING
1. Make sure the door is properly secured.
(if equipped)
BLocking and Unlocking the Door

To avoid serious injury or death:
A Secure the doors properly.
Secure the door properly to lock. Pull up the door handle
to unlock.

BDo not Operate the Vehicle at Full Speed
for the First 50 Hours
A Do not start quickly nor apply the brakes suddenly.
A In winter, operate the vehicle after fully warming up the
engine.
A Do not run the engine at speeds faster than
necessary.
A On rough roads, slow down to suitable speeds.
Do not operate the vehicle at fast speed. The above
precautions are not limited only to new vehicles, but to
all vehicles. But it should be especially observed in the
case of new vehicles.

BChanging Lubricating Oil for New
Vehicles
The lubricating oil is especially important in the case of a
new vehicle. The various parts are not "broken-in" and are
not accustomed to each other. Small pieces of metal grit
may develop during the operation of the vehicle; and this
may wear out or damage the parts. Therefore, care should
be taken to change the lubricating oil a little earlier than
would ordinarily be required. For further details of change
interval hours, see "MAINTENANCE" section.

A deflection of between 7 to 9 mm
(0.28 to 0.34 in.) when the belt is
pressed in the middle of the span.

1. Park the vehicle on a flat surface, open the seat,
remove utility box and maintenance cover.
2. Stop the engine.
3. Apply moderate thumb pressure to belt between
pulleys.
4. If tension is incorrect, loosen the alternator mounting
bolts and, using a lever placed between the alternator
and the engine block, pull the alternator out until the
deflection of the belt falls within acceptable limits.
5. Replace alternator belt if it is damaged.

BChecking Fuel Line and Fuel Filter

To avoid serious injury:
A Be sure to stop the engine and remove the key
when attempting to make the following checks
and changes.
A Never fail to check the fuel lines periodically.
The fuel lines are subject to wear and aging.
Fuel may leak out onto the running engine,
causing a fire.
The fuel line connections should be checked annually or
every 100 service hours, whichever comes first.
1. Park the vehicle on a flat surface, raise the cargo bed,
mount the safety support and shut off the engine.
2. The fuel line is made of rubber and ages regardless of
service period.
3. If the fuel line and clamps are found to be damaged or
deteriorated, replace them.
4. Check fuel filter, if it is clogged by debris or
contaminated with water, replace it.
A When the fuel line is disconnected for maintenance or
repair, close both ends of the fuel line with a piece of
clean cloth or paper to prevent dust and dirt from
entering. In addition, particular care must be taken not
to admit dust and dirt into the fuel pump. Entrance of
even a small amount of dust or dirt cause premature
wear and malfunction of the fuel pump and injector
components.

To avoid the possibility of battery explosion:
For the refillable type battery, follow the
instructions below.
A Do not use or charge the refillable type battery
if the fluid level is below the LOWER (lower limit
level) mark. Otherwise, the battery component
parts may prematurely deteriorate, which may
shorten the battery's service life or cause an
explosion. Check the fluid level regularly and
add distilled water as required so that the fluid
level is between the UPPER and LOWER levels.

To avoid serious injury or death:
A When the battery is being activated, hydrogen
and oxygen gases in the battery are extremely
explosive. Keep open sparks and flames away
from the battery at all times, especially when
charging the battery.

To avoid serious injury:
A Batteries, battery posts, terminals and related
accessories contain lead and lead compounds,
and other chemicals known to the State of
California to cause cancer and birth defects or
other reproductive harm. WASH HANDS
AFTER HANDLING.
A Never remove the battery cap while the engine
is running.
A Keep electrolyte away from eyes, hands and
clothes. If you are spattered with it, wash it
away completely with water immediately and
get medical attention.
A Keep open sparks and flames away from the
battery at all times. Hydrogen gas mixed with
oxygen becomes very explosive.
A Wear eye protection and rubber gloves when
working around battery.
The factory-installed battery is non-refillable type.
If the battery is weak, charge the battery or replace it
with new one.

PERIODIC SERVICE

A Mishandling the battery shortens the service life and
adds to maintenance costs.
The original battery is maintenance free, but needs
some servicing.
If the battery is weak, the engine will be difficult to start
and the lights will be dim. It is important to check the
battery periodically.
A When exchanging an old battery for new one, use
battery of equal specification in table below.

standard fashion.
5. A boost charge is only for emergencies. It will partially
charge the battery at a high rate and in a short time.
When using a boost-charged battery, it is necessary to
recharge the battery as early as possible.
Failure to do this will shorten the battery's service life.
6. When exchanging an old battery for a new one, use
battery of equal specification shown in table 1.
C Direction for Storage
1. When storing the vehicle for a long period, remove the
battery from vehicle, adjust the electrolyte to the
proper level (refillable type only) and store in a dry
place out of direct sunlight.
2. The battery self-discharges while it is stored.
Recharge it once every 3 months in hot seasons and
once every 6 months in cold seasons.

local Poison Control Center or your local
emergency number for further assistance.
A When anti-freeze comes in contact with the
skin or clothing, wash it off immediately.
A Do not mix different types of Anti-freeze.
The mixture can produce chemical reaction
causing harmful substances.
A Anti-freeze is extremely flammable and
explosive under certain conditions. Keep fire
and children away from anti-freeze.
A When draining fluids from the engine, place
some container underneath the engine body.
A Do not pour waste onto the ground, down a
drain, or into any water source.
A Also, observe the relevant environmental
protection regulations when disposing of antifreeze.
Always use a 50/50 mix of long-life coolant and clean soft
water in KUBOTA engines.
Consult your local KUBOTA dealer concerning coolant for
extreme conditions.
1. Long-life coolant (hereafter LLC) comes in several
types. Use ethylene glycol (EG) type for this engine.
2. Before employing LLC-mixed cooling water, fill the
radiator with fresh water and empty it again.
Repeat this procedure 2 or 3 times to clean up the
inside.
3. Mixing the LLC
Premix 50% LLC with 50% clean soft water. When
mixing, stir it up well, and then fill into the radiator.
4. The procedure for the mixing of water and anti-freeze
differs according to the make of the anti-freeze and the
ambient temperature. Refer to SAE J1034 standard,
more specifically also to SAE J814c.

* At 1.013 x 10 Pa (760 mmHg) pressure (atmospheric).
A higher boiling point is obtained by using a radiator
pressure cap which permits the development of pressure
within the cooling system.

BReplacing Rear Brake Cylinder Seal

5. Adding the LLC
(1) Add only water if the coolant level reduces in the
cooling system by evaporation.
(2) If there is a mixture leak, add the LLC of the same
manufacturer and type in the mixing ratio 50%.

BReplacing Intake Air Line

* Never add any long-life coolant of different
manufacturer. (Different brands may have
different additive components, and the engine
may fail to perform as specified.)
6. When the LLC is mixed, do not employ any radiator
cleaning agent. The LLC contains anti-corrosive
agent. If mixed with the cleaning agent, sludge may
build up, adversely affecting the engine parts.
7. Kubota's genuine long-life coolant has a service life of
2 years. Be sure to change the coolant every 2 years.
A The above data represent industry standards that
necessitate a minimum glycol content in the
concentrated anti-freeze.
