To the new owner

The purpose of this manual is to assist owners and operators in

maintaining and operating the FasTrak tractor and deck. Please read it
carefully; information and instructions furnished can help you achieve
years of dependable performance.

A separate Engine Owner’s Manual is included with your owner’s

packet which contains additional engine information that will not be
repeated in this manual. You are urged to read it before attempting any
operation or repair of the engine.

The Quick Reference Decals, located to the left of the seat, are designed

to give the operator brief information needed in the daily operation and
service of the machine. These decals are not intended to be used in place of
this manual but instead is to be used as an extension of this manual. These
decals should not be removed or obliterated. Replace these decals if they
become unreadable.

It is the

owner’s responsibility

to make certain that the operator reads

and understands this manual and all decals before operating this machine.
It is also the

owner’s responsibility

to make certain that the operator is a

qualified and physically able individual, properly trained in the operation of
this equipment. Local regulations may restrict the age of the operator.

Using this manual

General operation, adjustment and maintenance guidance is outlined for

both the experienced and novice Hustler user. Operating conditions vary
considerably and cannot all be addressed individually. Through
experience, however, operators should find no difficulty in developing
good operating skills suitable to most conditions.

Directions used in this manual, for example RIGHT or LEFT, refer to

directions when seated on tractor facing forward, unless otherwise stated.

Photographs and illustrations used were current at the time of printing,

but subsequent production changes may cause your machine to vary
slightly in detail. Hustler Turf Equipment reserves the right to redesign and
change the machine as deemed necessary, without notification. If a change
has been made to your machine which is not reflected in this owner’s
manual, or the parts manual, see your Hustler dealer for current information
and parts.

Warranty registration

The Delivery and Warranty Registration form must be completed and

Turf Equipment at time of delivery.

Be sure to register the tractor plus each attachment that displays a model

and serial identification number plate with Hustler Turf Equipment.

IMPORTANT:

Any unauthorized modification, alteration, or use of

non-approved attachments voids the warranty and releases Hustler Turf
Equipment from any liability arising from subsequent use of this
equipment.

Model and serial number

Tractor model and serial numbers are found on the serial identification

plate, located on the frame directly below and to the left of the operator’s
platform.

These numbers are required on the Warranty Registration form. They

necessary.
