Part of the Kubota Repair Manuals.
This downloadable PDF is the factory Kubota Z122R workshop manual, 153 pages covering the Z122R-AU and Z122RKW-AU zero turn mowers. These machines run the air cooled Kawasaki GH739V petrol engine.
The manual covers the engine, the hydrostatic transaxle, front axle, lift system, the electrical system with wiring diagrams and safety switches, and the mower deck itself. You get structure descriptions, troubleshooting charts, servicing specifications, tightening torques, and checking and disassembly procedures for each system.
Owners and small engine mechanics can use it to trace no start and safety switch faults, service the transaxle, set the deck level, replace belts and blades, and keep the Kawasaki engine running right. Every procedure is tied to factory figures. View it on any device, or print the pages you need for the shop bench.

Kubota Z122R-AU, Z122RKW-AU Common Problems This Manual Covers
Mower deck cuts unevenly
An uneven cut or scalping usually means the deck is out of level or the blades are worn. The mower section gives blade height figures and the checks needed to set the deck right.
Manual Section: Mower p. 136Weak or uneven hydrostatic drive
Sluggish tracking or a machine that pulls to one side points to the hydrostatic transaxle. This section covers the internal components, troubleshooting, and servicing specifications.
Manual Section: Transaxle p. 68Electric PTO clutch will not engage
A blade drive that will not turn often traces to the electric PTO clutch or its wiring. The electrical section covers the PTO clutch circuit and troubleshooting.
Manual Section: Electrical System p. 106Engine will not start on the seat
A no start or a cut out when leaving the seat usually means a safety switch or the operator presence control. The electrical section maps the start system, OPC, and safety switches.
Manual Section: Electrical System p. 106Kawasaki engine runs rough
Rough running or fouling on the GH739V often comes down to the spark plugs or fuel system. The engine section covers the fuel and lubrication systems with servicing specifications.
Manual Section: Engine p. 51Front caster wheels wobble
Shimmy or wander at speed points to worn front caster bearings or brackets. The front axle section covers structure, troubleshooting, and the checks to make.
Manual Section: Front Axle p. 92Frequently Asked Questions
