Mower Blade Replacement
IMPORTANT: Refer to the Safety section of this manual for
blade handling safety information.
A 15/16" wrench is required to remove the 5/8" cap screw
holding the blade to the spindle shaft. NOTE: A blade holding
tool (P/N 381442) is available from Hustler
®
Turf Equipment.
It is designed to prevent the blades from rotating when they
are being removed or installed on the spindle. Contact your
Hustler
®
Dealer for more information.
Do not re-use spindle bolts which have stripped, worn or
undercut threads. Torque bolts on spindles to 160.0 N•m
when reinstalling blades.
Properly compressed cup washers maintain the correct
compression load on the blades. Replace the cup washers if
they are cracked or flattened.
IMPORTANT: The blade sail (curved part) must be point-
ing upward toward the inside of the deck to ensure proper
cutting.
When mounting blades, rotate them after installation to
ensure blade tips do not touch each other or sides of the
mower.
Mower Blade Options
The following is a list of the approved mower blade options
that are available from Hustler
®
Turf Equipment for this
mower.
Operator Platform Adjustment
There are three springs that are located under the operator
platform. The two side springs can be adjusted forward or
rearward to allow for operator ride preference. Figure 4-16
These two springs should always be in line with each other.
No spring should be further forward or rearward than the
other.
The center spring is non-adjustable.
To adjust the springs:
1. Loosen the lower nut enough to allow the spring to
move. Figure 4-17
2. Tighten the lower nut after the spring is located in the
desired position. Figure 4-17
3. Repeat for the other side.
