SERVICING OF LOADER
Your dealer is interested in your new loader and has the
desire to help you get the most value from it. After reading
this manual thoroughly, you will find that you can do some
of the regular maintenance yourself.
However, when in need of parts or major service, be sure
to see your KUBOTA dealer.
For service, contact the KUBOTA dealership from which
you purchased your loader or your local KUBOTA dealer.
When in need of parts, be prepared to give your dealer the
loader serial number.
Locate the serial numbers now and record them in the
space provided.

The following engagement points are critical.
1) The lock pins of the quicl( attach coupler
have to protrude into and through the pin

It is critical that the pins are in good
condition and without visible signs of wear
or damage and that the operator align the

attachment to allow the pins to go through
the pin slots.
2) Both handles have to be pushed down until
