      Additional operating safety instructions

      Note

      The information in this chapter is also provided on a supplementary sheet that must always be carried on the vehicle.

      General

      The vehicle has a hydrostatic drive and articulated steering. It therefore exhibits driving characteristics that are different to those of a motorcar.

      WARNING

      Danger of tipping over

      Please note that the driving characteristics of a vehicle with articulated steering differ considerably from those of a motorcar.

      Drive around curves at an even and appropriate speed. This applies, in particular, for driving uphill/downhill and driving across the face of a slope.

      Be aware of the changes in the centre of gravity of the vehicle depending on attachments.

      Adjust the travel speed to the ambient conditions when driving in a straight line and when driving around bends, e.g. road conditions and the load status.

      Note decoupling of the front and rear part of the vehicle via a central pendulum joint.

      Braking characteristics

      Release the accelerator pedal provides a form of active braking. This differs from a motorcar where only the engine brake reduces vehicle speed.

      ATTENTION

       

      The braking force applied when you release the accelerator pedal is weaker in higher gears and stronger in lower gears.

      The braking force applied when you release the accelerator pedal in transport mode is significantly weaker than in working mode.

      Steering characteristics

      Vehicles with articulated steering exhibit a more direct response to steering movements than motorcars, particularly when taking bends at high speed, on snow, ice and wet/loose ground as well as during turning manoeuvres on slopes. Avoid rapid successive steering movements.

      Centre of gravity / pendulum characteristics

      Rear attachments and load statuses influence the vehicle's centre of gravity and the driving characteristics. You must be ready to adjust to changed driving characteristics, particularly after changing attachments and in the case of changeable load statuses. Limit ranges may be reached earlier.

      The vehicle has a central pendulum joint to provide a high degree of all-terrain mobility. This enables both vehicle halves to move transversely to the travel direction independently from one another.

      This special property means that the driver does not receive immediate feedback on the behaviour of the rear half of the vehicle. You should therefore take care to use the mirrors to keep an eye on the rear of the vehicle.

      Symbols on the vehicle

      Note

      Replace the symbols immediately if they become illegible or get lost.

      DANGER

      Risk of burns from hot surfaces

      Allow the vehicle to cool down before working on it.

      DANGER

      Risk of burns due to hot exhaust pipe

      Do not touch the exhaust pipe.

      Before working, allow the exhaust pipe to cool down.

      DANGER

      Danger of tilting

      Only drive on terrain with a maximum lateral incline of 10°.

       
       

      DANGER

      Risk of injury on account of splashing objects

      Keep an adequate distance from persons, animals and objects.

      WARNING

      Risk of injury

      Risk of being squeezed or hurt at the belts, side-brushes, waste container, cover.

      DANGER

      Danger of crushing

      Make sure that no persons are present in the vicinity of the articulated joint or vehicle during operation.

      When using the vehicle for towing, make sure that no persons are located during operation between vehicle and trailer.

      WARNING

      Risk of cutting, risk of crushing

      Keep your hands away from this area.

      ATTENTION

      Damage from incorrect transport

      During the transport, place always the transport lock on the articulated joint.

      WARNING

      Health risk due to poisonous exhaust gases

      Do not inhale exhaust gases.

      DANGER

      Risk of injury due to unauthorised usage

      Remove the ignition key to protect against unauthorised use and prior to cleaning and maintenance work.

      ATTENTION

      Safety for cleaning and maintenance

      Prior to cleaning and maintenance work, park the vehicle on a level and firm subsurface.

      DANGER

      Danger of injury due to use of unspecified locations for seating

      Sit exclusively on the driver’s seat.

      DANGER

      Risk of impact, risk of crushing

      When transporting or working under suspended loads, use suitable means for supporting.

      Settings for working mode

      Note

      When switching over from TRANSPORT MODE to WORKING MODE (see chapterOperating programs ), the engine speed and speed settings are changed.


      Note

      If the potentiometer for engine speed (see chapterOperating consoles) is not in the end position (0), then a display will appear.


      If this display appears, turn the potentiometer for engine speed anticlockwise to the end position (0).

      Working mode

      In WORKING MODE, it is possible to choose between 3 options. These options influence the engine speed and hydraulic power.

      • 30/60 l/min

        The engine speed is limited to a max. 1600 rpm, and the hydraulic power to 30 l/min, if the hydraulic PTO selector switch is at 50 l/min.

        The engine speed is limited to a max. 1600 rpm, and the hydraulic power to 60 l/min, if the hydraulic PTO selector switch is at 100 l/min.

      • 40/80 l/min

        The engine speed is limited to a max. 2200 rpm, and the hydraulic power to 40 l/min, if the hydraulic PTO selector switch is at 50 l/min.

        The engine speed is limited to a max. 2200 rpm, and the hydraulic power to 80 l/min, if the hydraulic PTO selector switch is at 100 l/min.

      • 50/100 l/min

        Maximum hydraulic power and maximum engine speed.

      Note

      The selected setting is also kept when switching over between WORKING MODE AND CREEPING MODE.

      When switching over to TRANSPORT MODE, the setting is reset and the engine goes to idle speed.

      After an option has been selected, the relevant display will appear on the display (bottom right).

      Changing to the option selection increases or reduces the current speed, unless the engine is in idle mode.

      Press the function button to return to the option selection.

      Illustration: Selected maximum speed = 1600 rpm and current speed 1500 rpm (engine is running)

      The selected speed is displayed in the from of a small, yellow arrow. The idle speed is always 950 rpm (minimum speed).

      The yellow needle indicates the current speed.

      1. Switch off the PTO (working hydraulics).

      2. Select the front power lift lowering speed using the rotary knob.

        1. Turning clockwise: The lowering speed is reduced.

          The front power lift is blocked at the limit stop

          Note: This function is needed for transport journeys on public roads in order to disable the front power lift and thus the lowering of the attachments.

        2. Turning anticlockwise: The lowering speed is increased

      Attachment release and vibration dampening (optional)

      The attachment release is used in order to move the load from one attachment fitted on the front power lift towards the vehicle's front axle.

      For example: If a mower deck is being used, the forces in the ground are reduced by the mower deck in order to reduce damage to the ground due to the wheels spinning; especially when driving uphill.

      Note

      If the attachment is raised whilst the attachment release system is switched on, it will act like a load stabilisation system when driving.

      Vibration dampening (optional) ensures a more comfortable and stable drive during transport journeys with a raised attachment on the front power lift.


        1. Rotary knob for attachment release
      1. Switch on the attachment release system using the switch (on the centre console).

      2. Change the shift in the centre of gravity using the attachment release rotary knob.

      Front power lift

      A 4-point mount (option) can be fitted to the front power lift. The corresponding attachments can be attached to this. Certain attachments can also be directly attached to the front power lift.

      ATTENTION

      Risk of injury and damage

      Ensure that the permissible axle load is not exceeded when fitting attachments to the front power lift.

      You are not permitted to operate the front power lift when persons are in the vicinity of the front power lift and fitted attachments.

      Ensure that attachments fitted to the front power lift do not touch or damage the vehicle.

      Setting the lowering speed of the front power lift


        1. Rotary knob, lowering speed
      1. Switch off the PTO (working hydraulics).

      2. Select the front power lift lowering speed using the rotary knob.

        1. Turning clockwise: The lowering speed is reduced.

          The front power lift is blocked at the limit stop

          Note: This function is needed for transport journeys on public roads in order to disable the front power lift and thus the lowering of the attachments.

        2. Turning anticlockwise: The lowering speed is increased

      Attachment release and vibration dampening (optional)

      The attachment release is used in order to move the load from one attachment fitted on the front power lift towards the vehicle's front axle.

      For example: If a mower deck is being used, the forces in the ground are reduced by the mower deck in order to reduce damage to the ground due to the wheels spinning; especially when driving uphill.

      Note

      If the attachment is raised whilst the attachment release system is switched on, it will act like a load stabilisation system when driving.

      Vibration dampening (optional) ensures a more comfortable and stable drive during transport journeys with a raised attachment on the front power lift.


        1. Rotary knob for attachment release
      1. Switch on the attachment release system using the switch (on the centre console).

      2. Change the shift in the centre of gravity using the attachment release rotary knob.

        1. Turning clockwise: More weight on the front axle

        2. Turning anticlockwise: Less weight on the front axle

      Operating the front power lift


        1. Joystick
      1. Pull the joystick backwards (direction Y1) to raise the front power lift.

      2. Push the joystick forwards (direction Y2) to lower the front power lift.

      Floating position


        1. Main switch, floating position
      1. The floating position is switched on and off using the floating position main switch.

        The floating position must be switched off when driving on public roads for transportation purposes (not when cleaning public roads).

      2. Press the joystick in the Y2 direction briefly to switch the floating position function on. The joystick then returns to the NEUTRAL position.

        In the floating position, the attachment follows the ground contour.

      3. Pull the joystick in the Y1 direction to switch the floating position function off.

      Attachments

      Note

      Please read the attachment operating instructions before fitting an attachment.

      Attachments are optional and can be fitted to the front power lift (see chapter Front power lift) or to the front or rear mounting frames.

      DANGER

      Danger due to change to vehicle's centre of gravity and to driving characteristics. When transporting fluids, sloshing motion may occur, which will then rock the vehicle.

      In the case of modifications, particularly when converting from winter to summer use and in the case of changes to load conditions, the driver must be prepared for the change in driving characteristics.

      WARNING

      Risk of crushing when attaching attachments

      Do not reach between the front power lift and the attachment.

      CAUTION

      Risk of burns from hot hydraulic couplings

      Wear protective gloves when disconnecting the hydraulic couplings.

      ATTENTION

       

      Wear suitable protective clothing, safety gloves and gloves when installing and removing attachments. This also applies during usage and application.

      Please contact your responsible dealer before fitting attachments that are not specifically intended for this vehicle. Your dealer will check if installation and use of these attachments is permitted on your vehicle. This is important for the safety of the driver and the vehicle and also for any warranty claims.

      Attachments that endanger the safety or stability of the vehicle may not be used.

      Coupling attachments to the vehicle

        ATTENTION

        Risk of damage

        WARNING

        Risk of injury due to attachments

        Do not move or fit any attachments if persons are in the hazard zone.

        CAUTION

        Risk of damage due to incorrect fitting

        After fitting the attachment, check to see that the driver cabin or add-on parts are not damaged during the lifting process.

        ATTENTION

         

        Observe the graphics and mounting guidelines provided for preventing erroneous installation.

        Note

        Keep a sufficient gap to the driver cabin or superstructures. Any contact must be ruled out.

        Bear in mind the weight of the attachment. Attach heavy superstructures as near as possible to the vehicle.

      1. Drive up to the attachment.

      2. Connect the lower link to the attachment.

      3. Fix the attachment in place using 2 bolts and secure the bolts with locking pins.

      4. Connect and secure the top link to the attachment.

        Observe the following description pertaining to correct / erroneous installation of the top link.

      Erroneous installation of the top link


      1. The upper connection (top link) of the vehicle for the attachment is not correctly installed. The angle to the lower mounting deviates too much.

      2. If the attachment is raised in this way, this will lead to a sudden retraction towards the driver cabin and thus to damaging the windscreen, or other add-on parts.

      3. The more the angle deviates from the upper to lower mounting, the more the attachment will be tilted backwards during the lifting process.

      Correct installation of the top link


      1. The upper connection of the vehicle for the attachment is correctly installed. The angle of the connection is much flatter than with an incorrectly installed connection. This prevents the driver cabin from being damaged when the attachment is being lifted.

      4-point mount (optional)

        The 4-point mount is attached to the front power lift and secured with 2 bolts.

        It has got one inclination adjustment system.

      Regeneration process MIC 70

      WARNING

      Risk of burns due to the regeneration process

      Only start manual regeneration in non-flammable areas. During the regeneration process, the deposited soot particles will be burned and very hot exhaust gases (up to 600 °C) could escape.

      Description of regeneration


      The vehicle is equipped with a diesel particulate filter.

      • The diesel particulate filter holds back the soot particles until they are burned at very high temperatures; this process is called regeneration. The regeneration process is carried out either automatically in driving mode but can also be started manually if required.

      • The more frequently the vehicle is driven at high speeds or with loads, the less often will a regeneration process have to take place.

      • The regeneration process takes place in various stages, depending on the stored amount of soot.

      • The regeneration process can be preselected: <Auto> or <Inhibit> (locked). The settings can be selected when the start display is booting up.

      • If <Auto> is selected, the control electronics automatically start the regeneration process if there are too many soot particles in the diesel particulate filter.

      • If <Inhibit> (locked) is selected, automatic regeneration is prevented and only <Parked Regeneration> is possible. The vehicle needs to be parked for <Parked Regeneration>.

      Note

      A detailed description of the regeneration process can be found in the following chapters.

      Regeneration <Automatic>

      This display lights up during automatic regeneration.
      The display also temporarily lights up during the regeneration process.

      Regeneration <Stage 1>

      If the amount of soot particles in the diesel particulate filter necessitating regeneration is reached, then this will be shown together with the text message in the display.

      Stage 1: Press <x> to start automatic regeneration.

      Regeneration <Stage 2>

      If automatic mode is disabled, or the control electronics cannot start the regeneration process, the display will flash and text messages will appear.

      Stage 2: Automatic regeneration is now still possible or starting a <Parked Regeneration>. Press <x>.

      Note

      The regeneration process <Parked Regeneration> is described in a later chapter.

      Regeneration <Stage 3>

      ATTENTION

       

      By now at the latest, the regeneration process has to be started.


      Stage 3: Only a <Parked Regeneration> is possible now. The vehicle can only drive at a limited speed.

      Note

      The regeneration process <Parked Regeneration> is described in a later chapter.

      Regeneration <Stage 4>

      ATTENTION

       

      Regeneration must be carried out by Kärcher-Service or by an authorised Kubota workshop.


      Stage 4: The vehicle can only drive at a limited speed.

      IMPORTANT: Drive the vehicle to the next safe place and park it.

      Regeneration <Stage 5>

      ATTENTION

       

      Regeneration is no longer possible. The diesel particulate filter must be exchanged and the control program needs a restart. This is only possible through Kärcher Service or through an authorised Kubota workshop.


      Stage 5 and last stage: The vehicle can only drive at a limited speed.

      IMPORTANT: Drive the vehicle out of the hazard zone of the traffic, and to the next safe place and park it.

      Regeneration <Parked Stage>

      Regeneration is only possible if the following conditions are met. As soon as a condition is changed, the regeneration process will stop.

      • Neutral position

      • Parking brake activated (automatic in neutral position)

      • No display of error codes

      • Accelerator not actuated

        ATTENTION

         

        Never interrupt the regeneration process, unless it is urgently needed!

      1. Drive to a safe place.

      2. Park the vehicle in neutral position.

        Text message: <Place in Park or Neutral>

      3. Select idle speed.


      4. Depending on the display, press <Un-inhibit Regen> or <Inhibit Regen>.


      5. Navigate to the menu <Settings | Machine | Parked Regeneration> in order to start the regeneration process.


      6. Press <Request Regen>.


      7. The text message <Parked Regeneration Occurring> appears in the display.


      8. If the request is successful, the display automatically switches over.

        The control unit increases the speed to 2000 rpm in order to, when necessary, increase the engine temperature, and switches permanently to regeneration.


      9. After the regeneration process has expired, the engine runs at idle speed and the following text message appears.

        Confirm message with <x>.
