Kubota GF GF1800 (4WD) GF1800E(2WD) Operator Manual
Careful operation is your best insurance against an accident. Read this section carefully before operating
the machine. All operators, whether experienced or not, should read this and other related manuals before
operating the mower or any attachment on it. It is the owner’s obligation to instruct all operators in safe
operation.
This cutting machine is capable of amputating hands and feet and throwing objects. Failure to observe the
following safety instructions could result in serious injury or death.
- BEFORE OPERATING
(1) Know your equipment and its limitations. Read this entire manual before attempting to start and operate
the machine.
(2) Know the controls and how to stop quickly.
(3) Pay special attention to the warning, caution and
danger labels on the machine itself.
(4) KUBOTA recommends the use of a ROPS (Roll Over Protective Structure) and seat belt in almost all
applications. This combination will reduce the risk of serious injury or death should the machine tip
over.

This machine is intended to use on flat terrain.
(5) Always use the seat belt if the machine has a ROPS. Never fasten the seat belt without a ROPS. Check the
seat belt daily and replace if frayed or damaged.
(7) Do not operate the machine or any attachments while under the influence of alcohol, medication,
controlled substances or when fatigued.
(8) Check brakes, clutch, and other mechanical parts for correct adjustment and wear. Replace worn or
damaged parts promptly. Check the tightness of all nuts and bolts regularly. (For further details, see
MAINTENANCE AND ADJUSTMENTS section.)
(9) Keep all shields and guards in place. Replace any that are damaged or missing.
(10) Carefully check the vicinity before operating the machine or any attachments to it. Clear the work
area of objects (wires, rocks, etc.) that might be picked up and thrown. Do not allow any bystanders
around or near machine during operation.
(11) Before allowing other people to use your machine, explain how to operate and have them read this
manual before operation.
(6) Never modify or repair a ROPS. Welding, bending, drilling or cutting any portion of the ROPS will
weaken the ROPS structure. If any structural member is damaged, replace the entire structure at your local KUBOTA dealer.
