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.

Clear away heavy build-up of grease, oil and dirt, especially in the engine and under the seat platform areas; minute

dust particle are abrasive to close-tolerance engine and hydraulic 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 raise and block the deck, using jack stands or blocks, in the full up position and

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.

Torque values

Torque values are given below:

Lug nuts only - It is recommended that these be checked after the first 2 hours of operation, initially, every 50 hours

and following removal for repair or replacement.

For all other torques refer to the various tractor parts manuals for standard torque chart. See page 21 for ordering

information.

For engine torque values, see engine owner’s manual.

Tires

It is important for level mowing that the tires have the same amount of air pressure. The recommended pressure

Solid fill tires are not recommended

for Hustler turf equipment. On any machine, with solid filled tires, the

warranty claim will be denied.

WARNING: Explosive separation of a tire and rim can cause serious injury or death. Do not attempt
to mount a tire without the proper equipment and experience to perform the task. Always maintain the
correct tire pressure and never over inflate. Never weld or heat a wheel and tire assembly as an
explosion may occur. Welding can weaken or deform a wheel. When inflating tires stand to one side
and not in front of or over the tire assembly. Check tires for low pressure, blemishes, damaged rims
or missing lug bolts and nuts.

Lubrication

1. Grease the front gauge wheel bearings per the Maintenance Schedule. Use SAE multi-purpose grease.
2. Grease the four deck lift pivots, located to the side of the operator’s footrest per the Maintenance Schedule. Use

SAE multi-purpose grease.
