To the new owner

The purpose of this manual is to assist owners and

operators in maintaining and operating the TrimStar Gear
Driven.  Please read it carefully; information and
instructions furnished can help you achieve years of
dependable performance.

A separate Engine 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 Decal located on the unit is

designed to give the operator brief information needed in the
daily operation of the machine.  These decals are not
intended to be used in place of this manual but instead are to
be used as an extension of this manual.  These decals should
not be remove 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 the Quick
Reference Decal 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.

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 facing forward while
operating the unit, 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 signed to validate your warranty protection.
As the new equipment owner, you are expected to see that
the form is completed and forwarded to Hustler Turf
Equipment at time of delivery.

Be sure to register the unit 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

identification plate, located on the left side of the frame next
