Operating Suggestions 

Inexperienced operators may have a tendency to oversteer 

and lose control. Practice slow maneuvers at low engine rpm

 

(idle) on a flat open area before attempting normal speed 
operation.

When turning on soft wet turf, keep both wheels rolling 

either forward or backward. Pivoting on one stopped wheel 
can damage turf, especially when mowing.

Set the throttle at full rpm for maximum performance. This 

gives maximum power to the drive wheels and deck when 
needed. The throttle setting directly controls blade speed. 
Use the control levers to control ground speed rather than 
engine rpm. 

Keep blades sharp.

 

Many problems

 with incorrect cutting 

patterns are 

due to dull blades

 or blades which have been 

sharpened incorrectly.

 Information on sharpening blades is 

listed in this manual’s maintenance section. 

Blade sharpness 

should be checked daily.

An inexperienced operator should not mow on 
slopes or on uneven terrain.
Before attempting normal speed operation an inex-
perienced operator should: 

•

be thoroughly familiar with the proper use 
and operation of the equipment.

•

read the manual completely and thoroughly.

•

have attempted slow moving maneuvers.

If you lose steering control while operating the 
machine, place the steering control levers in the park 
brake position immediately. Inspect the machine and 
involve your Hustler

®

 Dealer to resolve the problem

 

before continuing to operate.

The unit’s steering control levers are very respon-
sive: Easy does it! For smooth operation, move the 
levers slowly, avoiding sudden movement. Skill 
and ease of operation come with practice and 
experience.   The machine can spin very rapidly. 
Use caution when making turns and slow down 
before making sharp turns.

Sharp depressions or raised obstacles (such as 
gutters or curbs) should not be directly 
approached at high speed in an attempt to “jump” 
them as the operator could be thrown from the 
equipment. Approach at a slow speed and angle 
one drive wheel at the obstruction. Continue at an 
angle until the wheel clears and then pivot the 
opposite wheel around.
