and plug) or the entire grass collection system in place.  
ꢀ Always disengage the blades and wait for them to stop  
before crossing gravel drives, walks or roads.

before mowing. Stay behind the handle when the engine  
is running.  
ꢀ Always be alert for hazards such as rocks, metal objects  
and other debris which may be thrown or entangled by  
mower blades. Watch out for holes or deep depressions.  
ꢀ Always wear adequate ear protection, such as earplugs,  
when operating this equipment as prolonged exposure to  
uncomfortable or loud noises can cause impairment or  
loss of hearing. Do not wear radios or music headphones  
while operating the machinery. Safe operation requires

tion, especially when maneuvering on slopes. .  
ꢀ Clean flammable material from machine. Prevent  
fires by keeping the mower clean of accumulated

2. Cliffs, retaining walls  
3. Roads, highways  
4. Buildings  
5. Rocks  
These are just a few examples of situations when cau-  
tion must be used when operating on a slope. There are  
many other possibilities too numerous to mention. Just  
remember to always exercise extreme caution when oper-  
ating on any slope.  
Slope Operation  
Slopes are a major factor in slip and fall accidents, which  
can result in severe injury or death. All slopes require extra  
caution. If you feel uneasy on a slope; do not mow it.  
ꢀ Use extreme caution when operating on slopes.  
• Be extremely careful changing directions on a slope.  
Slow down.  
• Do not operate where the machine could slip or tip.  
ꢀ Always be sure of your footing. Keep a firm hold on the  
handle and walk—never run.  
Children  
ꢀ Watch for holes, ruts or bumps. Uneven terrain could  
overturn the machine. Tall grass can hide obstacles.  
ꢀ Remove obstacles such as rocks, tree limbs, etc.  
ꢀ Keep all movement on slopes slow and gradual. Do not  
make sudden changes in speed or direction.  
ꢀ Avoid starting and stopping on a slope. If wheels lose  
traction, disengage the blade and, using extreme caution,  
proceed slowly off the slope.  
ꢀ Do not mow near drop-offs, ditches, or embankments.  
The machine could suddenly turn over if a wheel goes  
over the edge of a cliff or ditch, or if an edge caves in.  
You could lose your footing or balance.  
ꢀ Do not mow on wet grass. Reduced traction could cause  
sliding.  
ꢀ Terrain conditions can affect traction resulting in possible  
loss of control of the machine. Some of the conditions to  
be aware of are:  
Tragic accidents can occur if the operator is not alert to  
the presence of children. Children are often attracted to the  
machine and the mowing activity. Never assume that  
children will remain where you last saw them.  
ꢀ Never leave machine unattended with children present.  
ꢀ Children or bystanders may be injured if they move or  
attempt to operate the mower while it is unattended.  
Always release blade lever and drive clutch lever and set  
the throttle lever to the “STOP” position before leaving  
machine for any reason.  
ꢀ Keep children out of the mowing area and under the  
watchful care of a responsible adult other than the opera-  
tor.  
ꢀ Be alert and turn the machine off if children enter the  
area.  
ꢀ Before and while backing, look behind and down for  
small children.  
ꢀ Never carry children, even with the blade off. They may  
fall off and be seriously injured or interfere with safe  
machine operation.  
1. Wet terrain  
2. Depressions in the ground; i.e. holes, ruts, washouts  
3. Mounds of dirt  
4. Soil type; i.e. sand, loose dirt, gravel, clay  
5. Grass type, density, and height  
6. Extremely dry conditions of grass  
Another consideration to safe mowing on slopes is to  
be aware of what is located at the bottom of the slope.  
Extreme caution should be used when there is a hazard  
located at the bottom of the slope. Some examples are:  
1. Water; i.e. lake, river  
ꢀ Never allow children to operate the machine.  
ꢀ Use care when approaching blind corners, shrubs, trees,  
the end of a fence or other objects that may obscure  
vision or block your view of a child.

MAINTENANCE & ADJUSTMENTS  
requiring engine power should be performed by trained  
personnel only.  
ꢀ Prior to any servicing stop the engine and disconnect the  
spark plug wire, being careful to not touch the hot engine  
or muffler.  
Safe Servicing Practices  
This product is capable of amputating hands and feet and  
throwing objects. Always follow all safety instructions to avoid  
serious injury or death.  
ꢀ Be careful not to spill fuel or oil when tilting the unit to  
check or maintain the blade. Clean up any spills immedi-  
ately.  
ꢀ Do not touch hot parts of machine. Allow engine to cool  
before servicing.  
ꢀ Keep nuts and bolts tight, especially the blade attachment  
bolts. Keep equipment in good working condition.  
ꢀ Never tamper with safety devices. Check their proper  
operation regularly.  
ꢀ Stop the engine before removing the grass catcher or  
unclogging the discharge chute. Never clear the dis-  
charge chute with the engine running. Turn off the  
engine and be sure the blade has stopped before cleaning.  
Use a stick to clear a plugged discharge area. Never use  
your hand!  
ꢀ Grass collection system components are subject to wear,  
damage and deterioration, which could expose moving  
parts or allow objects to be thrown. Frequently check  
components and replace with manufacturer’s recom-  
mended parts, when necessary.  
ꢀ Exercise caution when working under the deck as the  
mower blade is extremely sharp. Wrap the blade(s) or  
wear gloves and use extra caution when servicing them.  
ꢀ Use only genuine Hustler replacement parts to ensure that  
original standards are maintained  
Service  
ꢀ Unless specifically required, DO NOT have engine run-  
ning when servicing or making adjustments to the  
mower. Park the machine on level ground. Disconnect  
the spark plug wire from the spark plug before doing any  
maintenance. Wait for all movement to stop before  
adjusting, cleaning or repairing. Repairs or maintenance  
requiring engine power should be performed by trained  
maintenance personnel only. To prevent carbon monox-  
ide poisoning, be sure proper ventilation is available  
when engine must be operated in an enclosed area. Read  
and observe safety warnings in this manual.  
ꢀ Before working on or under the deck, make certain  
engine cannot be accidentally started. Shut engine off  
and disconnect spark plug wire from the spark plug for  
maximum safety. Repairs or maintenance requiring  
engine power should be performed by trained mainte-  
nance personnel only.  
ꢀ Always keep shields and covers on mower for safety as  
well as cleanliness.  
ꢀ Use a stick or similar instrument to clean under the  
mower making sure that no part of the body, especially  
arms and hands are under mower.  
ꢀ Always keep engine and machine clean, removing accu-  
mulated dirt, trash and other material from machine.  
Clean up oil or fuel spillage. Allow machine to cool  
before storing.  
ꢀ Clean flammable material from machine. Prevent  
fires by keeping the mower clean of accumulated  
trash, grass clippings and other debris. Always clean  
up spilled fuel and oil.  
Introduction  
Regular maintenance is the best prevention for costly  
downtime or expensive, premature repair. The following pages  
contain suggested maintenance information and schedules  
which the operator should follow on a routine basis.  
Remain alert for unusual noises, they could be signaling a  
problem. Visually inspect the machine for any abnormal wear  
or damage. A good time to detect potential problems is while  
performing scheduled maintenance service. Correcting the  
problem as quickly as possible is the best insurance.  
ꢀ Always wear adequate eye protection when servicing the  
mower or when grinding mower blades and removing  
accumulated debris.  
ꢀ Use extra caution when handling gasoline and other  
fuels. They are flammable and vapors are explosive.  
ꢀ Never attempt to start engine when there is a strong odor  
of gasoline fumes present. Locate and correct cause.  
ꢀ Never remove fuel cap or refuel mower while engine is  
running or while engine is hot; never refuel near an open  
flame or near devices which can create a spark. Refuel  
outdoors. Clean up any gasoline spills.  
ꢀ Never run the engine in an enclosed area unless exhaust  
is vented to the outside. Exhaust gases contain carbon  
monoxide which is an odorless and deadly poison.  
ꢀ Never attempt to make any adjustments or repairs to the  
drive system or mower deck while the engine is running  
or deck clutch is engaged. Mower blades cannot be seen  
and are located very close to the deck housing. Fingers  
and toes can be cut off instantly. Repairs or maintenance  
Clear away heavy build-up of grease, oil and dirt, especially  
around the engine; minute dust particle are abrasive to close-  
tolerance engine assemblies.  
Daily inspect mower for grass clippings and wire and string  
tangles. The underside of the mower deck will collect a build-  
up of grass clippings and dirt, especially when grass is wet or  
has high moisture content. This build-up will harden, restricting  
blade and air movement and will probably show a poorer quality  
of cutting. Therefore it should be removed routinely.  
To do this it will be necessary to scrape the build-up from  
underneath.  
Some repairs require the assistance of a trained service  
mechanic and should not be attempted by unskilled personnel.  
Consult your Hustler service center when assistance is needed.

When practical, remove gas-powered equipment from  
the truck or trailer and refuel the equipment with its  
wheels on the ground. If this is not possible, then  
refuel such equipment on the truck or trailer using a  
portable container and not a gasoline dispenser noz-  
zle. 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 com-  
plete. Do not use a nozzle lock-open device.  
Read and observe safety precautions elsewhere in this  
manual.  
Torque values  
WARNING: Particular attention must be given to  
tightening the blade bolts. Failure to correctly torque  
these may result in the loss of a blade, which can cause  
serious damage or personal injury.  
Torque values are given below:  
Ft-lbs.  
Nm  
Blade spindle bolt top ................... 26 - 33..........35 - 45  
For all other torques refer to the standard torque chart found  
elsewhere in this manual.  
For engine torque values, see engine owner’s manual.  
WARNING: Gasoline is harmful or fatal if swal-  
lowed.  
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 fuel con-  
tainer opening.  
Keep gas away from eyes and skin.  
If fuel is spilled on clothing, change clothing immedi-  
ately.  
Washing the mower  
When washing the mower, do not use a power washer. This  
will help prevent water intrusion and ensure component  
performance. Wipe with a dry rag after washing and then wipe  
the metal surface with a rag soaked with oil.  
Clean the grass catcher with water and allow it to dry before  
using.  
WARNING: Never overfill fuel tank. Replace gas  
cap and tighten securely.  
Fuel system  
DANGER: To avoid personal injury or property  
damage, use extreme care in handling gasoline.  
Gasoline is extremely flammable and the vapors  
are explosive.  
The fuel tank is located at the left rear of the engine. Fig. 5-1  
Use regular unleaded gasoline with an octane rating of 87 or  
higher.  
IMPORTANT: Dispose of any unused gasoline properly  
according to the law in each country.  
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 gaso-  
line.  
DANGER: Observe usual fuel handling precautions:  
Do not smoke while refueling. Extinguish all ciga-  
rettes, cigars, pipes and other sources of ignition.  
Do not remove fuel cap or fill tank with engine run-  
ning or while engine is hot. Clean up any gasoline  
spills.

4. Attach blade using the blade mounting bolts and  
torque between 26 - 33 ft.-lbs (35 - 45 Nm). Fig. 5-4  
NOTE: Check the blade 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. Blade should not lean or tilt. Spin the  
blade slowly, blade should not wobble. If blade is out of bal-  
ance, true it up before reinstalling.  
Check the mower blade daily, it is the key to power efficiency  
and well groomed turf. Keep it 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: Mower blades are sharp and can cut.  
Wrap the blade(s) or wear gloves and use extra caution  
when servicing them.  
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.

Hustler spray paint.  
7. Crank engine with starter rope at least a dozen  
revolutions to distribute oil over cylinder walls and valve  
mechanism.  
IMPORTANT: Wash the machine with a mild detergent  
and water. Do not pressure wash the machine. Avoid  
excessive use of water.  
8. Clean exterior surface of engine. Spread a light film of  
oil over any exposed metal surfaces of engine that are  
subject to corrosion.  
2. Install new air filter per Engine Owner’s Manual.  
3. Check thoroughly for any worn or damaged parts that  
need replacing and order them from your dealer.

9. Clean dirt and chaff from cylinders and fins, blower  
housing and muffler.  
10. Check oil filler cap and fuel tank cap to make certain they  
are securely in place.  
5. Perform separate engine preparation as listed below.  
6. Store tractor in a clean, dry place.  
11. Refer to engine manual for more information.  
New season preparation  
Preparation of engine for storage  
Before starting the tractor following post season storage, the  
following servicing is required:  
When engine is to be unused for long periods, proceed as  
follows:  
1. Clean mower, removing trash and dirt accumulation.  
2. Check engine oil level.  
3. Fill fuel tank with fresh gasoline. Run machine at half  
speed for 5 minutes. Stop engine and check for leaks,  
loose fittings and so forth.  
4. Tighten any bolts that have loosened and make sure all  
hair pins, cotter pins and clevis pins are in place.  
5. Install all safety shields and review safety precautions  
listed in this manual.  
1. Run engine for a minimum of 15 minutes.  
2. Drain oil from crankcase while engine is still warm.  
3. Refill with fresh oil of proper viscosity.  
4. Drain fuel tank and run the engine until it stops from lack  
of fuel. Gasoline evaporates if left in carburetor for long  
periods, forming gum and varnish deposits in carburetor.  
These deposits will cause engine flooding and loss of  
power.  
5. Remove and replace fuel filter if not done in previous  
100 hours.  
6. Refer to engine manual for more information.
