Using a fuel stabilizer/conditioner in the tractor can provide benefits such as:
1. Keeps gasoline fresh during storage of 90 days or less. For longer storage, drain the fuel tanks.
2. Cleans the engine during operation.
3. Eliminates gum-like varnish buildup in the fuel system.
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 gasoline.

The fuel filter (FIG. 44, FIG. 45 & FIG. 46) is installed in the fuel line between fuel tanks and engine fuel pump on the
rear left side of the engine. Replace filter annually or after every 100 hours of operation, whichever occurs first. For fuel
filter removal refer to the engine owner’s manual
When replacing the fuel filter, check the fuel line hoses for any cracks or leaks. Replace as needed.

The fuel shut-off valve (Hustler p/n 745059) is located behind the seat to the right side of the operator (FIG. 47).
Close this valve (center position) to prevent fuel flow to the engine. The valve’s two other positions are front and rear.
