this is not possible, then refuel the equipment on the truck or
trailer using a portable container and not a gasoline dispenser
nozzle. If a gasoline dispenser nozzle must be used, keep the
nozzle in contact with the rim of the fuel tank or container
opening at all times until fueling is complete.
Read and observe safety precautions elsewhere in this
manual.
WARNING:
Gasoline is harmful or fatal if swallowed.
Long-term exposure to vapors can cause serious injury and
illness.
Avoid prolonged breathing of vapors.
Keep face away from nozzle and gas tank or conditioner
opening.
Keep gas away from eyes and skin.
The fuel tanks are located in the tractor’s fenders.
Use regular unleaded gasoline with an octane rating of 87 or higher.
IMPORTANT:
Never use methanol, gasoline containing methanol, or
gasohol containing more than 10% ethanol because the fuel system could be
damaged. Do not mix oil with gasoline.
A fuel shut-off valve is located on each tractor. The location and
operation of the fuel valve will vary depending upon the unit. Close the
fuel valve to prevent fuel flow to the engine. The valve’s two other
positions will allow fuel to be drawn from either one or the other fuel tank.

IMPORTANT:
Do not overfill the fuel tanks. The fuel tanks should
be filled no higher than 2” (5.08
CM
) below the tank’s fill neck.
Engine oil and filter
Check engine oil daily and after every 4 hours of operation. Tractor
must be setting level when checking oil. Refer to engine manual and
maintenance schedule for oil recommendation and capacities.
Change the engine oil and filter after the first 5 hours of operation, per
the engine manufacturer’s recommendations after that. If tractor is being
operated in extremely dirty conditions, then it is recommended oil be
changed more frequently.
Engine air filter
Perform engine air filter maintenance per the Engine Owner’s manual.
General engine maintenance
Detailed instructions and recommendations for break-in and regular
maintenance are specified in the Engine Owner’s manual. Please refer to
this manual for engine servicing, lubricating oil levels with quality and
viscosity recommendations, bolt torques, etc. The engine warranty is
backed by the manufacturer. Special attention should be paid to applicable
data which will not be duplicated here.
Belts
Inspect belts frequently for wear and serviceability. Replace a belt that
shows signs of severe cuts, tears, separation, weather checking and
cracking, or burns caused by slipping. Slight raveling of belt covering does
not indicate failure, trim ravelings with a sharp knife.
WARNING:
If the pump belt fails, loss of control will occur
especially when operating on a slope. 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.
Inspect the belt pulley grooves and flanges for wear. A new belt, or one
in good condition, should never run against the bottom of the groove.
Replace the pulley when this is the case, otherwise belt will lose power and
slip excessively.
Never pry a belt to get it on a pulley as this will cut or damage the fibers
of the belt covering.
Keep oil and grease away from belts, and never use belt dressings. Any
of these will destroy the belt composition in a very short time.
Mower blade maintenance
Check the mower blades daily, they are the key to power efficiency and
well groomed turf. Keep them sharp, a dull blade will tear rather than cut
the grass, leaving a brown ragged top on the grass within a few hours. A
dull blade also requires more power from the engine.
Replace any blade which is bent, cracked or broken.
WARNING:
Never attempt to straighten a bent blade by
heating, or weld a cracked or broken blade as the blade may
break and cause serious injury. Replace worn or damaged
blades.
DANGER:
Never work with blades while engine is running
or deck clutch switch is engaged (on). Always place deck
clutch switch in the
disengaged position, place control levers
in the park brake position and turn engine off and disconnect
negative battery cable. Block up mower when you
must
work under it. Wear gloves when handling blades. Always
check for blade damage if mower strikes rock, branch or
other foreign object during mowing!
WARNING:
Always wear adequate eye protection when
grinding mower blades.
Always place deck clutch switch in the disengaged position, place control
levers in the park brake position and turn engine off and disconnect
negative battery cable. Block up mower when you
must work under it.
Wear gloves when handling blades. Always check for blade damage if
mower strikes rock, branch or other foreign object during mowing!
Mower blade removal
Use a 15/16" wrench to remove the 5/8" cap screw holding the blade to
the spindle shaft from underneath.
NOTE:
A blade holding tool (part
number 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.
Sharpen the blades on a grinder following pattern as shown (Fig. 4-4).
Touch-up sharpening can be done with a file.
Check the blades for balance following grinding. A commercial
balancing tool is available through most hardware supply stores, or
balancing can be done by placing the blade on an inverted line punch or
5/8" bolt. Blade should not lean or tilt. Spin the blade slowly, blade should
not wobble. If blade is out of balance, true it up before reinstalling.
Lay the blade on a flat surface and check for distortion (Fig. 4-5and 4-
6). Replace any distorted blade.
Do not re-use spindle bolts which have stripped, worn or undercut
threads. Torque bolts on spindles to 118 foot-pounds (160.01
N
m) when
reinstalling blades.
IMPORTANT:
The blade sail (curved part) must be pointing upward
toward the inside of the deck to ensure proper cutting.
WARNING:
When mounting blades, rotate them after
installation to ensure blade tips do not touch each other or
sides of the mower.
