ENGINE MAINTENANCE
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 recommenda-
tions, 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.
Engine Oil and Filter
Check the engine oil daily and after every 4 hours of opera-
tion. The mower must be level when checking the oil. Refer to
the Engine Owner’s Manual and maintenance schedule for oil
recommendation and capacities.
Change the engine oil and filter after the first 5 hours of
operation and per the engine manufacturer’s recommenda-
tions after that. Change the engine oil more frequently if
operating in extremely dirty conditions.
IMPORTANT: After the new oil filter has been installed,
clean up any oil which may have spilled onto the engine
plate, engine exhaust system, and muffler guard.
Draining the Engine Oil:
1. Locate the oil drain valve on the engine. Figure 5-1
2. Position a suitable oil drain container under the
machine below the oil drain valve.
3. Twist the valve counterclockwise to open the valve.
Allow 10 minutes for engine oil to adequately drain.
4. After oil is drained, close the valve by twisting it clock-
wise.
5. Once the valve is closed, clean up any spilled oil.
IMPORTANT: All oil drips or spills must be cleaned off
of the engine plate, engine exhaust system, and muf-
fler guard before operating the machine.
Engine Air Filter
Perform engine air filter maintenance per the Maintenance
Schedule shown elsewhere in this manual.
Fuel Evaporation System Filter
Hustler

FasTrak
®
mowers have a fuel evaporation system
filter. This filter must be checked and replaced every 300
hours or annually whichever comes first. Figure 5-2
Fuel and Evaporative System Line Routings
These mowers have a fuel evaporative system installed.
There are two different types of rubber hoses that are
connected to the fuel tank. One is the fuel hose that is part of
the fuel system. The other is the vapor line that is part of the
fuel evaporative system.
Allow the engine to cool before changing the
engine oil. If the engine has been running, use cau-
tion when changing the engine oil as it will be very
hot. You should wear the appropriate protective
gear to avoid being burned or exposed to engine
oil.
