To the new owner
The purpose of this manual is to assist owners and
operators in maintaining and operating the Hustler tractor.
Please read it carefully; information and instructions
furnished can help you achieve years of dependable
performance.
This model meets ANSI B71.4 safety specifications for
commercial turf care equipment.
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 your tractor is
designed to give the operator brief information needed in the
daily operation of the machine. This decal is not intended to
be used in place of this manual but instead is to be used as
an extension of this manual. This decal should be kept
legible at all times and replaced if it becomes damaged. 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.
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 seated on tractor facing
forward, 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 card must be
completed and signed to validate your warranty protection.
As the new equipment owner, you are expected to see that
the card is completed and forwarded to Hustler Turf
Equipment at time of delivery.
Be sure to register the tractor plus each attachment that
displays a model and serial identification number plate; i.e.
mower decks, snow blower, front blade, etc.
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
Tractor model and serial numbers are found on the serial
identification plate, located on the panel directly below and
to the right of the operator’s seat.
These numbers are required on the Warranty Registration
card. They will also assure you of the correct service parts
when replacement becomes necessary.
Parts and service
Use original Hustler equipment replacement parts only.
These parts are available through your local Hustler
equipment dealer. To obtain prompt, efficient service,
always provide the following information when ordering
parts:
1. Correct part description and number, as given in the
parts manual supplied with your owner’s packet.
2. Correct model number.
3. Correct serial number.
All warranty repair and service must be handled through
an authorized Hustler dealer. Arrangements should be made
through your local service center.
