This WORKSHOP MANUAL has been prepared to provide servicing personnel with
information on th e mechan ism, ser vice an d mai ntenance of Z D21N-EC, Z D21- EC an d
ZD28-EC KUBOTA ZD Series Zero Turn Mower. It is divided into two parts,
“MECHANISM” and “SERVICING” for each section except “ENGINE” section.
■ Mechanism
Information on the cons truction and fu nction are inclu ded. This info rmation shoul d
be understood before proceeding with troubleshooting, disassembling and servicing.
■ Servicing
The heading “GENERAL” includes general precautions, check and maintenance and
special tools. Other section, there are troubleshooting, servicing specification lists,
checking and adjusting, disassembling and assembling, and servicing which cover
procedures, precautions, factory specifications and allowable limits.
All information illustrations and specifications contained in this manual are based on
the latest product information available at the time of publication.
The right is reserved to make changes in all information at any time without notice.
This symbol, the industry’s “Safety Alert Symbol”, is used throughout this manual and on labels on
the machine itself to warn of the possibility of personal injury. Read these instructions carefully.
It is essential that you read the instructions and safety regulations before you attempt to repair or use
this unit.
DANGER: Indicates an imminently hazardous situation which, if not avoided, will result in
death or serious injury.
WARNING: Indicates a potentially hazardous situation which, if not avoided, could result in
death or serious injury.
CAUTION: Indicates a potentially hazardous situation which, if not avoided, may result in
minor or moderate injury.
■ IMPORTANT: Indicates that equipment or property damage could result if instructions are not
followed.
■ NOTE: Gives helpful information.
BEFORE SERVICING AND REPAIRING
• Read all instructions and safety instructions in this
manual and on your machine safety decals.
• Clean the work area and machine.
• Park the machine on a firm and level ground, and set

SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
SAFETY STARTING
• Do not start the engine by shorting across starter
terminals or bypassing the safety start switch.
• Do not alter or remove any part of machine safety
system.
• Before starting the engine, make sure that all shift
levers are in neutral positions or in disengaged
positions.
• Never start the engine while standing on ground.
Start the engine only from operator’s seat.
SAFETY WORKING
• Do not work on the machine while under the influence
of alcohol, medication , or other substances or while
fatigued.
• Wear close fitting clothing and safety equipment
appropriate to the job.
• Use tools appr opriate to the work. Mak eshift tools,
parts, and procedures are not recommended.
• When servicing is performed together by two or more
persons, take care to perform all work safely.
• Do not work under the machine that is supported
solely by a jack. Always support the machine by
safety stands.
• Do not touch the rotating or hot parts while the engine
is running.
• Never remove the radiator cap while the engine is
running, or immediately after stopping. Otherwise,
hot water will spout out fr om radiator. Only remove
radiator cap when cool enough to touch with bare
hands. Slowly loosen the cap to first stop to relieve
pressure before removing completely.
• Escaping fluid (fuel or hydraulic oil) un der pressure
can penetrate the skin causing serious injury. Relieve
pressure before disconnecting hydraulic or fuel lines.
Tighten all connections before applying pressure.
AVOID FIRES
• Fuel is extremely flammable and explosive under
certain condition s. Do not smoke or allow flames o r
sparks in your working area.
• To avoid sparks from an accidental short circuit,
always disconnect the battery negative cable first and
connect it last.
• Battery gas can explode. Keep sparks and open
flame away from the top of b attery, especially when
charging the battery.
• Mark sure that no fuel has been spilled on the engine.

SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
VENTILATE WORK AREA
• If the engine must be running to do some work, make
sure the area is well ventilated. Never run the engine
in a closed area. The exhaust gas contains
poisonous carbon monoxide.
PREVENT ACID BURNS
• Sulfuric acid in battery electr olyte is po isonous. It is
strong enough to burn skin, clothing and cause
blindness if splashed into eyes. Keep electrolyte
away from eyes, hands and clothing. If you spill
electrolyte on yourself, flush with water, and get
medical attention immediately.
DISPOSE OF FLUIDS PROPERLY
• Do not pour fluids into the ground, down a drain, or
into a stream, pond, or lake. Observe relevant
environmental prot ectio n regulati ons whe n disp osing
of oil, fuel, coolant, electrolyte and other harmful
waste.
PREPARE FOR EMERGENCIES
• Keep a first aid kit and fire extingui sher handy at all
times.
• Keep emergency numbers for doctors, ambulance
service, hospital and fire department near your
telephone.

2.GENERAL PRECAUTIONS
• During disa ssembly, ca refully ar range removed parts in a cle an
area to prevent confusion later. Screws, bolts and nuts should be
installed in their original position to prevent reassembly errors.
• When special tools are requi red, use KUBOT A genuine speci al
tools. Special tools which are not frequently used should be
made according to the drawings provided.
• Before disassembling or servicing electrical wires, always
disconnect the ground cable from the battery first.
• Remove oil and dirt from parts before measuring.
• Use only KUBOTA genuine parts for parts replacement to
maintain machine performance and to assure safety.
• Gaskets and O-rings must be replaced during reassembly.
Apply grease to new O-rings or oil seals before assembling.
See the figure left side.
• When reassem bling external snap rings or inte rnal snap rings,
they must be positioned so that sharp edge faces against the
direction from which a force is applied. See the figure left side.
• When insert ing spring pins, their splits must face the direction
from which a force is applied. See the figure left side.
• To prevent dam age to the hydraulic s ystem, use only sp ecified
fluid or equivalent.

Checking Tire Pressure
WARNING
To avoid personal injury:
• Do not attempt to mount a tire on a rim. This should be done
by a qualified person with the proper equipment.
• Always maintain the correct tire pressure.
Inflation pressure in front tires rises quickly when using
compressed air.
Do not inflate tires above the r ecommended pressure shown
in the Operator’s Manual.
IMPORTANT
• Do not use tires larger than specified.
■ Inflation Pressure
Though the inflation pressure is factory-set to the prescribed
level, it naturally drops slowly in the cours e of time. Thus, check it
and inflate as necessary.

Checking Transmission Fluid Level
1. Park the mach ine on a flat surface, lower the imp lement to the
ground and shut off engine and remove the key.
2. Raise and lock the operator’s seat.
3. To check the oil level, draw out the dipstick, wipe it clean, replace
it, and draw it out again. Check to see that the oil level lies
between the two not ches. If the level is to o low, add ne w oil to
the prescribed level at the oil inlet.
(See page G-7.)
• If oil level is low, do not run engine.
(1) Oil Level Dipstick
(2) Oil Plug and Breather Cup
