To start the Kubota ZG327A-AU mower, ensure the PTO switch is off, set the throttle lever to the 'fast' position, and the parking brake is engaged. Turn the ignition key to the 'start' position until the engine starts, then release it.
If the mower blades do not engage, check the PTO switch and ensure it is in the 'on' position. Inspect the drive belt for damage and ensure it is properly tensioned. If issues persist, consult the service manual or a professional technician.
It is recommended to change the engine oil every 100 hours of operation or annually, whichever comes first. Use the correct oil type as specified in the operator's manual.
The Kubota ZG327A-AU mower is designed to run on unleaded gasoline with an octane rating of 87 or higher. Avoid using ethanol-blended fuels above E10 to prevent engine damage.
To improve fuel efficiency, regularly maintain the mower by cleaning the air filter, checking tire pressure, and ensuring the blades are sharp. Additionally, operate the mower at the recommended speed and avoid unnecessary idling.
Uneven cutting can be caused by dull blades, incorrect tire pressure, or an improperly leveled deck. Ensure blades are sharp and balanced, tire pressure is even, and adjust the deck height as necessary.
To replace the blades, park the mower on a flat surface, engage the parking brake, and disconnect the spark plug. Use a wrench to remove the blade bolts, replace with new blades, and tighten securely. Ensure blades are installed correctly in relation to rotation direction.
To store the mower for winter, clean the mower thoroughly, change the oil, add a fuel stabilizer, and remove the battery to store in a cool, dry place. Cover the mower to protect it from dust and moisture.
Check the battery for charge and connections, ensure the fuel valve is open, and verify there is clean fuel in the tank. Inspect the spark plug for fouling and replace if necessary. If problems persist, consult with a service professional.
Regular maintenance includes checking and changing the engine oil, inspecting and cleaning the air filter, sharpening blades, checking tire pressure, and examining belts and hoses for wear. Refer to the operator's manual for a detailed maintenance schedule.
