The oil drain and oil filter are located at the rear of the engine FIG. 10.
Engine air filter
Perform engine air filter maintenance per the scheduled maintenance chart. See “SERVICE AT
INTERVALS INDICATED” on page 10.
A specially designed dry filter is standard equipment on the Hustler Z and Super Z tractors and supplies
clean combustion air to the engine FIG. 11.
RECOMMENDED SERVICE PROCEDURE
Many engine failures can be attributed to improper air cleaner servicing. Ingested dust and dirt will cause
cylinder, piston and bearing damage in a few hours. “Dusted” engines will result from:
1. Overservicing the air filter element.
2. Improper installation.
3. Damaged filter, seals or canister.
4. Incorrect air filter element size.
5. Use of poorly designed aftermarket air filter elements.
