Kubota RC5715 Operator's Manual

To adjust the cutting height, first ensure the implement is on a level surface. Use the hydraulic lift to raise or lower the cutter deck to the desired height, then adjust the wheel spacers to secure the position. Refer to the operator’s manual for specific height settings.
It is recommended to perform a daily inspection before use, including checking for loose bolts, damaged blades, and fluid levels. Every 50 hours, lubricate all grease points and inspect the gearbox oil level. Annually, replace the gearbox oil and inspect the belts and blades for wear.
If the cutter is not cutting evenly, check for uneven tire pressure, misaligned blades, or obstructions in the deck. Ensure the cutter is level and inspect the blades for sharpness and damage. Adjust blade alignment as necessary.
Always wear appropriate personal protective equipment, such as gloves and safety glasses. Ensure all guards and shields are in place before operating. Be cautious of bystanders and avoid operating on steep slopes to prevent rollovers.
To replace the blades, ensure the cutter is turned off and the PTO is disengaged. Raise the cutter deck using the hydraulic lift and secure it with jack stands. Remove the blade bolts and replace the blades, ensuring they are properly torqued.
To winterize, clean the cutter thoroughly and remove any debris from the deck. Drain the fuel system or add a fuel stabilizer. Lubricate all moving parts and check for any necessary repairs. Store in a dry, covered area to protect from the elements.
To improve fuel efficiency, ensure the blades are sharp and properly balanced to reduce engine load. Maintain proper tire pressure and regularly clean the air filter. Avoid excessive idling and operate at optimal engine speed.
Excessive vibration can be caused by unbalanced blades, loose components, or debris lodged in the deck. Check and tighten all bolts, inspect the blades for balance, and clear any obstructions. Replace any damaged parts.
Use a high-quality gear oil with a viscosity rating recommended by Kubota, typically SAE 80W-90. Check the operator’s manual for specific oil type and capacity requirements.
To align for transport, raise the cutter deck to the highest position using the hydraulic lift. Lock the transport locks in place, ensure the PTO is disengaged, and secure any loose parts. Verify that the cutter is stable before moving.
