Always keep away from the drive area. Be aware of the engine after-running time after switching off (3-4 seconds).
The installed engine has a diesel particulate filter (DPF). In normal operating conditions, the driver does not notice anything about the operational sequences for the secondary treatment of the harmful exhaust gases.
During the regeneration phase of the diesel particulate filter, the deposited soot particles will be burned and very hot exhaust gases up to 600 °C could escape. Only start the regeneration process in areas that do not pose a fire hazard.
For more information on this, it is vital you observe chapter Regeneration process MIC 70!
The vehicle is not approved for crane loading.
Do not use a forklift to unload / load the vehicle.
Observe the weight of the vehicle in order to avoid accidents and injuries, see chapter Technical data.

Switch off the engine and remove the ignition key before performing cleaning or maintenance work on the vehicle, replacing parts or changing the functionality of the vehicle.
Repairs may only be carried out by approved customer service sites or staff qualified in this area who are familiar with all relevant safety instructions.
Adhere to the safety checks according to the applicable local regulations for mobile commercial vehicles.
The articulated joint, tyres, radiator fins, hydraulic hoses and valves, seals, electrical and electronic components must not be cleaned using a high-pressure cleaner.
The information in this chapter is also provided on a supplementary sheet that must always be carried on the vehicle.
The vehicle has a hydrostatic drive and articulated steering. It therefore exhibits driving characteristics that are different to those of a motorcar.
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.
Release the accelerator pedal provides a form of active braking. This differs from a motorcar where only the engine brake reduces vehicle speed.
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.
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 characteristicsRear 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.
Replace the symbols immediately if they become illegible or get lost.

The front axle of the vehicle must always be loaded with at least 30% of the net weight of the vehicle, and the rear axle must always be loaded with at least 30% of the net weight of the vehicle.
Before purchasing the attachment, check that these requirements are met by weighing the vehicle-attachment combination.
The following data is required for determining the total weight, the axle loads, the tyre loading capacity and the required minimum ballast:
All weights in kg (weigh the vehicle if necessary)
All dimensions in meters (m)
TL | (kg) | = | Net weight of the vehicle | * |
TV | (kg) | = | Front axle load of the empty vehicle | * |
TH | (kg) | = | Rear axle load of the empty vehicle | * |
GH | (kg) | = | Total weight rear attachment / rear ballast | ** |
GV | (kg) | = | Total weight of front attachment / front ballast | ** |
a | (m) | = | Distance between front attachment (front ballast) centre of gravity and middle of front axle, max. = 0.86 m | ** *** |
b | (m) | = | Wheelbase of the vehicle | * *** |
c | (m) | = | 0.56 | |
d | (m) | = | Distance between the centre of the equipment-side attachment point and the centre of gravity of the rear attachment / rear ballast | ** *** |
* See chapter "Technical data"
** See operating instructions of the attachment
*** Measure
Enter the result into the table.
See the manufacturer's specifications for the value "x" or use a value of x = 0.45 if no specifications are available.
Enter the result into the table.
If the necessary minimum front ballast weight (GV min) is not reached with the front attachment (GV) then the weight of the front attachment must be increased to the minimum front ballast weight.
Enter the actual calculated permissible front axle load and the permissible front axle load specified in the work machine operating instructions into the table.
If the necessary minimum rear ballast weight (GH min) is not reached with the rear attachment (GH), then the weight of the rear attachment must be increased to the minimum rear ballast weight.
Enter the result into the table.

If the attachment is completely raised, the device will be aligned horizontally.
Risk of injury due to attachments
Do not move or fit any attachments if persons are in the hazard zone.
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.
Observe the graphics and mounting guidelines provided for preventing erroneous installation.
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.
Drive up to the attachment.
Connect the lower link to the attachment.
Fix the attachment in place using 2 bolts and secure the bolts with locking pins.
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
The upper connection (top link) of the vehicle for the attachment is not correctly installed. The angle to the lower mounting deviates too much.
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.
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
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.

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.
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>.
A detailed description of the regeneration process can be found in the following chapters.
This display lights up during automatic regeneration. | |
The display also temporarily lights up during the regeneration process. |
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.
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>.
The regeneration process <Parked Regeneration> is described in a later chapter.
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.
The regeneration process <Parked Regeneration> is described in a later chapter.
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 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 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
Never interrupt the regeneration process, unless it is urgently needed!
Drive to a safe place.
Park the vehicle in neutral position.
Text message: <Place in Park or Neutral>
Select idle speed.
Depending on the display, press <Un-inhibit Regen> or <Inhibit Regen>.
Navigate to the menu <Settings | Machine | Parked Regeneration> in order to start the regeneration process.
Press <Request Regen>.
The text message <Parked Regeneration Occurring> appears in the display.
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.
After the regeneration process has expired, the engine runs at idle speed and the following text message appears.
Confirm message with <x>.
