SAFE OPERATION To prevent fires, keep the DPF muffler and its surroundings clear of anything flammable and keep clean at all times. To avoid fire hazard: After use and pressure-washing, make sure there is nothing flammable near the exhaust pipe. Grass or twigs under the hood may cause fire. During regeneration, white exhaust gas may be visible. Do not allow regeneration to happen in an unventilated place. During regeneration, do not leave the tractor. The improper disposal or burning of waste causes environmental pollution and can be punishable by your local laws and regulations. When draining fluids from the tractor, place a container underneath the drain port.
Do not pour waste onto the ground, down a drain, or into any water source (such as rivers, streams, lakes, marshes, seas, and oceans). Waste products such as used oil, fuel, coolant, hydraulic fluid, refrigerant, solvent, filters, rubber, batteries, and harmful substances, can harm the environment, people, pets and wildlife. Please dispose of properly. See your local recycling center or KUBOTA Dealer to learn how to recycle or get rid of waste products. 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 reactions. (1) Cardboard (2) Hydraulic line (3) Magnifying glass Do not open the high-pressure fuel system. High-pressure fluid remaining in fuel lines can cause serious injury. Do not disconnect or attempt to repair fuel lines, sensors, or any other components between the high-pressure fuel pump and injectors on engines with high-pressure common rail fuel system. To avoid hazardous high voltage, turn the key switch to the position if it is necessary to check or repair the computer, harness or connectors.
During diesel particulate filter (hereinafter called DPF) regenerating operations, exhaust gases and exhaust filter components reach temperatures hot enough to burn people or ignite or melt common materials. Keep the tractor away from people, animals or structures which may be susceptible to harm or damage from hot exhaust gases. 12 M5091N, M5101N
