Measure the distance from blade tip to ground on the front and rear. The rear of the blade should be 1/8 to 1/4 in.
Assembly Instructions PREOPERATING CHECKLIST Before operating the mower for the first time, and as a routine before daily operations, it is important to make sure the mower is properly prepared and ready for operation. The following is a list of items to be checked. (For a mower with frequent operation, some of these items will not need to be checked every day, but the operator should be aware of the condition of each.) For proper fuels and lubricants refer to Specifications.
Assembly Instructions CHECK HYDROSTATIC TRANSMISSION OIL LEVEL Refer to LUBRICATION for Checking Hydrostatic Transmission Fluid Level in Maintenance Instructions. Tilt-Up Lift Handle Tilt-Up Latch Tilt-Up Latch CHECK BATTERY ELECTROLYTE LEVEL Refer to CHECKING/SERVICING the Battery in Maintenance Instructions. CHECK FUNCTIONS OF INSTRUMENT PANEL AND WARNING HORN Turn the ignition key to the RUN position.
Operating Instructions CONTROL IDENTIFICATION, LOCATION, AND FUNCTION Operating Controls CAUTION Engine Throttle The throttle control lever (red knob) is located on the left side of the seat and is used to control engine speed. Moving the lever forward toward the FAST position increases engine speed; moving it backward toward the IDLE position decreases engine speed. Before operating the mower, become familiar with the location and function of all operator controls.
Operating Instructions Forward Speed Control (FSC) Parking Brake Forward Speed Control (FSC) has two functions: One is to set forward travel speed, and the other is to establish the NEUTRAL-PARK position. When the FSC lever is moved into the FORWARD position, a friction lock holds any forward speed setting from 0 to 5 mph (0 to 8 km/h). The ground speed is proportional to the lever position; the further the lever is advanced forward, the faster the tractor moves.
Operating Instructions Transmission Lockout Levers Cold Start Lever (Jackshaft Drive Belt Release) The transmission lockout levers disengage the hydrostatic transmissons. By lifting the lever on top of the transmission and locking it into place with the lockout cam, the hydrostatic transmissions are released to permit freewheeling. By releasing the cam and lowering the lever, the transmissions are engaged for normal operation.

Operating Instructions Instrument Panel This illustration shows the configuration of the switches and indicators located on the instrument panel.
Operating Instructions • Engine fan belt Voltmeter The voltmeter displays battery and charging system voltage. An indication of low or high voltage (the red area) indicates an electrical system failure. The cause of the failure should be determined and corrected. Water Temperature Gauge The water temperature gauge monitors engine cooling system temperature.
Operating Instructions Light Switch (For Optional Lights) 1. Operates headlights (when installed). Hourmeter Before attempting to start the engine, make sure the operator is in the seat, the Forward Speed Control is in NEUTRAL-PARK position, and the blade clutch and parking brake are DISENGAGED. NOTE: Release parking brake to prevent extra load on the starter if the transmission neutral is slightly out of adjustment.
Operating Instructions 3. Move the throttle 1/4 to 1/2 open (toward FAST) and turn the ignition switch to the START position to start the engine. Release the key to the RUN position as soon as the engine starts. IMPORTANT: If the engine fails to start after approximately 10 seconds of cranking, the engine should be checked before further cranking. Turn the key to the OFF position and allow a 60 second cool-down period between starting attempts.
Operating Instructions NOTE: If the FSC lever will not stay in the selected position, the friction lock needs to be adjusted. Refer to ADJUSTMENTS of Forward Speed Control Friction Lock in Maintenance Instructions. ADJUSTING GROUND SPEED AND STEERING IMPORTANT: If the DSD52 or DSD62 Mower deck is installed on the tractor, make sure the dolly wheel is retracted BEFORE moving. CAUTION Learn to START, STOP, and MANEUVER the mower in a large, open area.
Operating Instructions ENGAGING THE MOWER Pull Steering Levers With Left Hand 1. Set the engine throttle at about 1/3 speed. Do not attempt to engage the blade clutch at high engine speeds. This will drastically shorten drive belt life. Use only moderate engine speed when engaging the blade clutch. 2. Pull the blade clutch lever SLOWLY up to engage the mower blades. CAUTION Forward Speed Control Keep Feet On Footrest (FSC) When Moving Correct Operator Hand Position on the Controls 3.
Operating Instructions IMPORTANT: DO NOT disengage the blade clutch with high engine speed (above 1/2 throttle) since the brake action on the blade drive will cause premature wear of the brake band. WARNING A brake stops the cutter blades (and blower on GHS equipped models) from freewheeling within five (5) seconds after disengaging the clutch. If the brake system malfunctions and the blades do not stop within five (5) seconds, the brake should be adjusted or repaired before operating the mower.
Operating Instructions Cutting height is adjusted by positioning the four retainer hitch pins in a series of seven vertical holes on the deck support pins. Lift handles have been provided on each end of the deck to assist in raising the deck while positioning the hitch pins. Cutting heights range from 1 in. (25 mm) [top holes] to 4 in. (102 mm) [bottom holes] in 1/2 in. (13 mm) increments.
Operating Instructions RECOMMENDATIONS FOR MOWING IMPORTANT: Operate the engine at full speed when mowing, to allow the engine to produce full horsepower and to increase efficiency of the engine cooling system. • Keep the mower deck and discharge chute clean. • Mow with sharp blades. A dull blade tears the • When using a side discharge mower deck, the side discharge shield must not be removed and must be kept in the lowest possible position to deflect grass clippings and thrown objects downward.
Operating Instructions RECOMMENDATIONS FOR TILT-UP DECK OPERATION/TRANSPORT To avoid potential deck and/or tractor damage while using the tilt-up deck, the following recommendations are offered: • Do not move the tractor with the deck in the tiltup position since both the roller wheels (on the back of the deck) and the GHS discharge chute may be damaged by moving the tractor. The tilt-up configuration should only be used when the tractor is parked.

Maintenance Instructions LUBRICATION NOTE: In case the gearboxes are completely drained of oil, approximately 5 fl. oz. (15 cl) of oil per gearbox is required to refill the gear drive assembly. Mower Deck Gearbox Lubrication NOTE: These instructions apply to all mower decks with gear-driven blades. Refer to DSD52 or DSD62 Mower Deck Lubrication in this section for the DSD52 or DSD62 deck with belt-driven blades.
Maintenance Instructions 2. LUBRICATION Check the oil level in the belt drive gearbox every 100 hours (or sooner if a visible oil leak has developed). With the deck in the normal operating position, remove the level plug in the side of the gearcase. Add SAE E.P. (Extreme Pressure) 90W oil to maintain the oil level to the plug. If the oil level is low, check the gearbox for any indication of an oil leak. If an oil leak is noted, the gearbox will need to be removed and rebuilt. 3.
Maintenance Instructions LUBRICATION Hydrostatic Transmission Fluid b. If no fluid leaks from around the air bleed plug: Checking Hydrostatic Transmission Fluid Level * Slowly add fluid into the reservoir until fluid starts to leak from around the plug. (Transmissions are serviced from the factory with Mobil 1 (15W50) Synthetic Oil). When it is necessary to add fluid, refer to Specifications for the proper fluid.
Maintenance Instructions LUBRICATION/CLEANING 3. Reinstall the lower drain plug, making sure the rubber O-ring on the plug is in place and in good condition. 6. Before installing the air bleed plug, fill the reservoir with fluid allowing a small amount to leak out of the air bleed plug hole. 4. Refill the transmission through the air bleed plug hole until it is as full as possible. 7. Install the air bleed plug and fill the reservoir to the COLD level line.
Maintenance Instructions CLEANING Turbine Precleaner The turbine precleaner is mounted on a remote air intake tube connected to the Donaldson air cleaner. A spinning fan driven by the intake airflow separates dust from the air, giving the initial stage of air cleaning. Dust particles are exhausted through a single small vent in the side of the housing. Since no dust is trapped, the precleaner operates without cleaning.
Maintenance Instructions 1. 2. 3. Release the top and bottom cover latches and remove the air cleaner cover. Wash the cover and Vacuator™ valve. Check that these components are in good condition. The Vacuator™ valve is subject to wear and deterioration and should be replaced yearly or when damaged. The lips of the valve should close and fit together; any cracks, deformation, or wear in the valve is cause for replacement. CLEANING 8.
Maintenance Instructions 10. Check the air intake hose for cuts, nicks, etc., and the hose clamps for tightness. 11. Reset the air restriction indicator (press button on bottom). CLEANING Flushing Radiator and Changing Coolant Change engine coolant every year. Drain the coolant from the engine and radiator: 1. Remove the radiator cap. 2. Open the drain cocks on the engine block and radiator (see the Kubota Owner's Manual for location of the drain cocks). Also, drain the coolant recovery tank. 3.
Maintenance Instructions CLEANING GHS Blower Tilt-Up Lift Handle Tilt-Up Latch Tilt-Up Latch Tilt-Up Hook on Deck Normally, the GHS blower operates with no maintenance or cleaning. However, when mowing grass that is dirty and damp (especially springtime mowing), a deposit of dirt may accumulate inside the blower housing, causing wear and binding of the blower wheel. When operating in these conditions, inspect the blower frequently for dirt buildup.
CLEANING/ CHECKING/SERVICING Maintenance Instructions 3. Reinstall the GHS blower drive belt by reversing the removal procedure. An additional procedure in maintaining transmission cooling is to inspect the cooling fans. Replace the fan(s) if blades are missing or damaged.
Maintenance Instructions Check the coolant level in the coolant recovery tank and maintain the coolant level between the FULL and LOW marks on the recovery tank. When the engine is cold, the coolant level should be at or slightly above the LOW mark on the recovery tank. If the coolant level is low, remove the radiator cap and fill to the overflow port level and then fill the recovery tank above the LOW mark.
Maintenance Instructions CHECKING/SERVICING Charging the Battery NOTE: Keep blades sharp - cutting with dull blades not only yields a poor mowing job but slows the cutting speed of the mower and causes extra wear on the engine and blade drive by pulling hard. Check the battery charge by measuring the specific gravity of electrolyte; if specific gravity is less than 1.225, the battery will need to be charged as follows: 1. Charge the battery at 15 amps for 10 minutes.
Maintenance Instructions CHECKING/SERVICING NOTE: Blades can be sharpened with an electric blade sharpener, conventional electric grinder, or a hand file. CAUTION ALWAYS wear eye protection and gloves when sharpening a blade. Sharpen at Original 30° Angle Intersection Wear Area 7. Mount the blade with wing tips pointing up into the housing. Reinstall the blade, washer, lock washer, and nut. Tighten the nut to 60 ft-lb (81.3 N·m).
Maintenance Instructions Fuel Lines and Clamps Every year, inspect the fuel supply line from the tank to engine for deterioration or damage. Also, inspect the fuel line clamps for tightness. Good preventive maintenance calls for complete replacement of fuel lines and clamps every two (2) years. NOTE: This procedure is of special importance for the diesel engine due to poor performance when air is injected with the fuel.
CHECKING/SERVICING/ REPLACING/REPAIRING Maintenance Instructions Fuel Control Arm In Open (Run) Position Fuel Shut-Off Valve Throttle Control Arm (Noted For Reference) Fuel Valve Open (Engine START and RUN Position) If the fuel valve solenoid is not operating properly, the problem may be isolated by first checking the operation of the solenoid as follows: 1.
