To the new owner
The purpose of this manual is to assist owners and operators in maintain-
ing and operating the FasTrak tractor and deck. Please read it carefully;
information and instructions furnished can help you achieve years of depend-
able performance.
A separate Engine Owner’s 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 Decals are designed to give the operator brief infor-
mation needed in the daily operation and service of the machine. These
decals are not intended to be used in place of this manual but instead are to be
used as an extension of this manual. These decals should not be removed or
obliterated. Replace these decals if they become unreadable.
It is the owner’s responsibility to make certain that the operators and
mechanics read and understand this manual and all decals before operating
this machine. It is also the owner’s responsibility to make certain that the
operators and mechanics are qualified and physically able individuals, prop-
erly trained in the operation of this equipment. All operator and mechanics
must become familiar with the safe operation of the equipment, operator con-
trols and safety signs.
Never let children or untrained people operate or service the equipment.
Local regulations may restrict the age of the operator.
IMPORTANT: For more detailed maintenance and adjustment informa-
tion refer to the proper parts manual for your machine. Refer to the Product
Literature section of this manual for ordering information.
The owner/user can prevent and is responsible for accidents or injuries
occurring to themselves, other people or property.
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 Delivery and Warranty Registration form must be completed and
signed to validate your warranty 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.
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
Tractor model and serial numbers are found on the serial identification
plate, located on the frame directly below and to the right of the operator’s
platform.
These numbers are required on the Warranty Registration form. They
will also assure you of the correct service parts when replacement becomes
necessary.

through your local Hustler dealer. To obtain prompt, efficient service, always
provide the following information when ordering parts:
1. Correct part description
