•Maintain all safety decals and make sure they are visible to the operator and by- standers. If decals are worn, contact your nearest Kubota dealer for replacements.

•Replace bent or broken blades with new ones. Do not attempt to weld or bend damaged blades. This can cause cracking or other types of damage that could re- sult in the blade being thrown from the brush mower.

•Wear gloves and eye protection and exercise care when handling blades. Also be alert to worn or damaged surfaces that could have sharp edges.

•Disengage hydraulics and shut off engine, bleed off hydraulic pressure to both high and low flow circuits allowing all movement to stop before leaving the operator’s po- sition to adjust, lubricate, clean, unclog, remove or install the attachment. See Ku- bota KX080-3 Operators Manual for detailed instructions on bleeding off hydraulic pressures.

•Before working on or underneath the attachment, place blocks on both sides (front and back) of operating vehicle tires or treads and under each end of the attachment to prevent accidental lowering of the machine. Also remove the ignition key from the operating vehicle and allow all movement to stop before beginning work.
