Using this manual
General operation, adjustment and maintenance guidance is outlined for
both the experienced and novice Hustler user. Operating conditions vary con-
siderably 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 completed Warranty Registration and Delivery form must be sent to
Hustler Turf Equipment within ten (10) days of delivery to validate your war-
ranty 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. The warranty registration form can also be accomplished electroni-
cally by the Hustler Dealer to validate the warranty.
This form must be on file for validation before any warranty claim appli-
cations can be processed by Hustler Turf Equipment.
Be sure to register the tractor plus each attachment that displays a model
and serial identification number plate 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
Model and serial numbers are found on the serial identification plate,
located on the left rear top of the deck.
These numbers are required on the Warranty Registration form. They
will also assure you of the correct service parts when replacement becomes
necessary.
