GENERAL INFORMATION

This manual applies to the following Hustler equipment

To the new owner

The purpose of this manual is to assist owners and operators

in maintaining and operating the M-1 WalkBehind mower.
Please read it carefully; information and instructions furnished
can help you achieve years of dependable 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.

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, properly trained in
the operation of this equipment. All operators and mechanics
must become familiar with the safe operation of the equipment,
operator controls and safety signs.

Never let children or untrained people operate or service the

equipment. Local regulations may restrict the age of the
operator.

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 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 standing behind the mower 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 list section of this 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 this mower 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.

IMPORTANT: Contact Hustler Turf Equipment for proper

operation and installation of accessories. Only use accessories
approved by Hustler Turf Equipment.

identification plate, located on the top right rear of the mower
housing.

form. They will also assure you of the correct service parts when
replacement becomes necessary.

available through your local Hustler dealer. To obtain prompt,
efficient service, always provide the following information
