the left and right rear of the operator seat. Pull the release lever (located in the seat pan
just below the lift handle) toward the lift handle. Lift the operator seat pan all the way for-
ward, to its maximum position, until the gas shock locks into place. If assistance is
required when either lifting or lowering the operator seat pan, have someone help you
with the second handle located on the other side of the operator seat.
Engine cover: Release the two rubber latches located at the front of the engine cover.
Using the handle on top of the cover, lift the cover back all the way until the limit cables
become taut, holding the cover in the open position.
Clean the entire engine area (under the engine cover) and mower deck area (under the
operator seat pan) of all excess grease, oil, fuel, grass, or debris before operating the
Articulator. This will help prevent damage to the equipment, fire hazard, and projectile
hazards.
Be sure both the operator seat pan and engine cover are closed, latched, and secure.

Fuel Shut-Off Valve
The fuel shut-off valve is located under the fuel tank, between the fuel tank and the fuel fil-
ter (the fuel filter is located under the engine cover, behind the hydraulic oil tank, to the left
of the engine). Be sure the fuel shut-off valve is in the ON position (parallel to the fuel
line) prior to attempting to start the engine.

Engine Oil
It is important that the proper type of oil be used in the crankcase. It is also important that
the oil level and quality be checked daily. Use of incorrect oil, inadequate oil level, or con-
taminated oil will cause engine damage.
Be sure the Articulator is parked on level ground before checking the oil level. Always
check the oil level before starting the engine, or more than five minutes after turning the
engine off. Check the oil level with the dipstick located under the engine cover, on top of
the engine, to the right of the oil intake cap. To add or change the engine oil and/or oil fil-
ter, allow ample time for the engine and engine oil to cool. Consult the Kubota Diesel
Be sure to use the correct oil in the engine crankcase!
Be sure to check the engine oil level and quality daily!
