The PTO lever should be in the "DISENGAGED" (OFF) position, and the motion control levers should be in the "NEUTRAL LOCK" position.

Why are the exhaust fumes from my Kubota Lawn Mower black?

  Jon JohnsAug 26, 2025
  If the exhaust fumes from your Kubota Lawn Mower are black, dark, or gray, it could be due to several reasons. You might be overloading the engine, so try reducing the load. Using low-grade fuel can also cause this issue, so switch to the specified fuel. A clogged fuel filter could be the culprit, so replace it. Similarly, a clogged air cleaner can cause colored exhaust, so clean or replace the air cleaner element. Finally, make sure the choke is fully opened by checking the choke knob position.

What to do if my Kubota ZG332 engine overheats?

  ramirezrebeccaAug 27, 2025
  If your Kubota Lawn Mower engine overheats, several factors could be responsible. Check if the engine is overloaded and lower the speed or reduce the load. Ensure the engine oil level is sufficient and replenish if needed. Also, check the coolant level and fill the cooling system to the correct level, inspecting the radiator and hoses for leaks. A loose or defective fan belt can cause overheating, so adjust or replace it. Remove any trash from the radiator core or grille screens. Flush the cooling system to address any coolant flow route corrosion. Clean or replace the air cleaner element if it's plugged. Ensure the engine speed is set to "FAST," and if the operating ground speed is too fast, slow it down.

Why is my Kubota Lawn Mower leaving an uneven cut?

  Angelica RomeroAug 27, 2025
  If your Kubota Lawn Mower is not cutting evenly, several factors could be the cause. Ensure the mower deck is level. If the ground speed is too fast, slow down. Dull blades can also lead to an uneven cut, so have them sharpened. Replace blades if they are worn or damaged. Check the tire inflation and add air to correct pressure. Adjust the anti-scalp rollers if they are not set correctly.

Why does my Kubota ZG332 move in neutral?
- A
  ahardySep 15, 2025
  If your Kubota Lawn Mower moves when the motion control levers are in the "NEUTRAL LOCK" position while the engine is running, it could be due to a hydrostatic lever linkage that is not correctly adjusted. Contact your dealer for hydrostatic lever linkage adjustment or pressure adjustment. Additionally, control linkage pivots might be sticking, so full up and lubricate the linkage.

Why is my Kubota ZG332 streaking grass?
- R
  Robert VasquezSep 5, 2025
  If your Kubota Lawn Mower is leaving streaks of uncut grass, it could be due to several factors. The ground speed might be too fast, so slow down. The engine RPM might be too low, so mow at full throttle and check and reset the engine RPM. If the grass is too long, cut it twice. Dull or damaged blades can also cause streaking, so replace or sharpen them. Finally, check for debris in the mower deck and clean it.
