To the new owner
The purpose of this manual is to assist owners and
operators in maintaining and operating the Hustler TrimStar
Hydro. Please read it carefully; information and instructions
furnished can help you achieve years of dependable
performance.
A separate Engine 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 located on the unit are
designed to give the operator brief information needed in the
daily operation 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 remove or obliterated. Replace these decals if they
become unreadable.
It is the owner’s responsibility to make certain that the
operator reads and understands this manual and the Quick
Reference Decals before operating this machine. It is also
the owner’s responsibility to make certain that the operator
is a qualified and physically able individual, properly
trained in the operation of this equipment.
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 facing forward while
operating the unit, 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 unit 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
Unit model and serial numbers are found on the serial
identification plate, located on the left side of the frame next
to the left drive wheel.
These numbers are required on the Warranty Registration
form. They will also assure you of the correct service parts
when replacement becomes necessary.

Use original Hustler replacement parts only. These parts
are available through your local Hustler dealer. To obtain
prompt, efficient service, always provide the following
information when ordering parts:
1. Correct part description and number, as given in the
parts manual supplied with your owner’s packet.
2. Correct model number.
3. Correct serial number.
All warranty repair and service must be handled through
an authorized Hustler dealer. Arrangements should be made
through your local service center.

Safe Operating Practices
This product is capable of amputating hands and feet and
throwing objects. Always follow all safety instructions to
avoid serious injury or death.
Operation
▲
Never leave a running machine unattended. Always
disengage deck clutch, engage park brake, place H-bar
steering in neutral, place cruise control lever in neutral
position, stop engine, and remove ignition key when
leaving the unit.
▲
If you lose steering control while operating the
machine, place the park brake lever in the park
brake position immediately. Inspect the machine
and involve your Hustler dealer to resolve the
problem before continuing to operate.
▲
Always keep safety shields and covers in place, except
for servicing.
▲
Always maintain a safe distance from people and pets
when mowing. Always stop machine if someone
enters the area.
▲
Always operate machine in daylight or with adequate
working lights.
▲
Follow daily and weekly checklists, making sure hoses
are tightly secured and bolts are tightened.
▲
Always observe traffic laws while driving machine
from one location to another. Watch for traffic when
operating near or crossing roadways.
▲
Always keep engine and machine clean, removing
accumulated dirt, trash and other material from
machine. Clean up oil or fuel spillage. Allow
machine to cool before storing.
▲
Inspect area to be mowed for hazards such as rocks,
metal objects and other debris which may be thrown or
entangled by mower blades. Remove these objects
before mowing.
▲
Always be alert for hazards such as rocks, metal
objects and other debris which may be thrown or
entangled by mower blades. Watch out for holes or
deep depressions.
▲ Always wear adequate ear protection, such as
earplugs, when operating this equipment as prolonged
exposure to uncomfortable or loud noises can cause
impairment or loss of hearing. Do not wear radios or
music headphones while operating the machinery.
Safe operation requires your full attention.
▲
Always inspect machine for damage after striking a
foreign object. If damage is found, repair machine
immediately. Be sure to disengage deck clutch, place
park brake lever in park brake position, stop tractor
engine, and remove ignition key when leaving
operator’s seat to inspect damage.
▲
Always be aware of what is behind the machine before
backing up.
▲
Never rotate forward suddenly on H-bar handle while
the machine is in rearward motion.
▲
When traveling in reverse, rotate handle forward
gently and avoid sudden movement. Rapid movement
SAFETY PRECAUTIONS
104893 10/05
2-2
of the handle in either direction could result in a
reaction of the tractor that can cause serious injury.
▲
Never operate a poorly maintained machine.
▲
Never attempt high speed maneuvering, especially in
crowded or congested areas.
▲
Never allow persons to operate this machine without
proper instruction or allow children to operate
machine. Allow only responsible adults who are
familiar with these instructions to operate this
machine.
▲
Never put hands or feet under any part of the machine
while it is running.
▲
Never carry passengers.
▲
Never direct discharge of material from mower deck
towards bystanders. Do not operate the mower
without either the discharge chute or the entire grass
collection system in place.
▲
Always disengage the blades and wait for them to stop
before crossing gravel drives, walks or roads.
▲
Always keep clear of the mower blades and
attachments during their operation.
▲
Turn off blades when not mowing.
▲
Slow down before turning.
▲
Stop the engine before removing the grass catcher or
unclogging the discharge chute. Never clear the
discharge chute with the engine running. Turn off the
engine and be sure the blades have stopped before
cleaning. Use a stick to clear a plugged discharge area.
Never use your hand!
▲
Do not operate the machine while under the influence
of alcohol or drugs.
▲
Exercise caution when loading or unloading the
machine onto a trailer or truck.
▲
Always wear safety goggles or safety glasses with side
shields when operating the mower.
▲
Data indicates that operators, age 60 years and above,
are involved in a large percentage of mower-related
injuries. These operators should evaluate their ability
to operate the mower safely enough to protect
themselves and others from serious injury.
▲
Never make sudden starts, stops, turns, or reverse
direction, especially when maneuvering on slopes.
The steering is designed for sensitive response. Rapid
movement of the H-bar handle in either direction could
result in a reaction of the unit that can cause serious
injury.
▲
If any attachment or additional weight is mounted on
the rear of the unit, any sudden movement of the H-bar
handle could cause the front of mower to come off of
the ground resulting in possible loss of control and
serious injury.
▲
The use of any other manufacturer’s attachments,
including stand-up sulkies, increases the risk of
operator injury, therefore, extreme caution must be
exercised when using these devises.
▲▲
Clean flammable material from machine. Prevent
fires by keeping engine compartment, battery, fuel
line, fuel tank and operator’s station clean of
accumulated trash, grass clippings, and other
debris. Always clean up spilled fuel and oil.
Slope Operation
Slopes are a major factor in loss-of-control and tip-over
accidents, which can result in sever injury or death. All
slopes require extra caution. If you cannot back up the
slope or if you feel uneasy on it; do not mow it.
▲
Use extreme caution when operating on slopes.
• Be extremely careful changing directions on a slope.
Slow down.
• Do not operate where the machine could slip or tip.
• To check a slope, attempt to back up it. If the unit
can back up the slope without the operator and drive
wheels slipping, reduce ground speed and proceed
with caution.
• Do not operate the TrimStar Hydro on slopes when
using a stand-up sulky.
▲
Always be sure of your footing. Keep a firm hold on
the H-Bar handle and walk - never run.
▲
Block or chock the machine when parked on a slope or
when trailering.
▲
Watch for holes, ruts or bumps. Uneven terrain could
overturn the machine. Tall grass can hide obstacles.
▲
Remove obstacles such as rocks, tree limbs, etc.
▲
Keep all movement on slopes slow and gradual. Do
not make sudden changes in speed or direction.
▲
Avoid starting and stopping on a slope. If tires lose
traction, disengage the blades and proceed slowly
straight down the slope.
▲
Do not mow near drop-offs, ditches, or embankments.
The machine could suddenly turn over if a wheel goes
over the edge of a cliff or ditch, or if an edge caves in.
▲
Do not mow on wet grass. Reduced traction could
cause sliding.
▲
The Hustler mower is capable of operating
horizontally (traverse) on moderately steep slopes.
When operating on slopes of 15 degrees or more, be
aware of any conditions that may cause the drive tires
to lose traction resulting in a possible loss of control of
the machine. An operator should not operate on a
slope until he is thoroughly familiar with the
equipment.
Do not operate the machine on slopes greater than
15 degrees.
Refer to Figure 2-1, page 2-5, when determining the
degree of slope to be mowed.
It is strongly recommended that the operator drive
the machine off of the slope, using extreme caution, if
any sign of loss of traction is detected. Wait until the
condition that caused the problem is resolved before
attempting to operate on the slope again.
Terrain conditions can affect traction resulting in
possible loss of control of the machine. Some of the
conditions to be aware of are:
1. Wet terrain
2. Depressions in the ground; i.e. holes, ruts,
washouts
3. Mounds of dirt
4. Soil type; i.e. sand, loose dirt, gravel, clay
5. Grass type, density, and height
6. Extremely dry conditions of grass
7. Tire pressure
104893 10/05
2-3
Another consideration to safe mowing on slopes is
to be aware of what is located at the bottom of the
slope. Extreme caution should be used when there is a
hazard located at the bottom of the slope. Some
examples are:
1. Water; i.e. lake, river
2. Cliffs, retaining walls
3. Roads, highways
4. Buildings
5. Rocks
These are just a few examples of situations when
caution must be used when operating on a slope.
There are many other possibilities too numerous to
mention. Just remember to always exercise extreme
caution when operating on any slope.
Children
Tragic accidents can occur if the operator is not alert to
the presence of children. Children are often attracted to
the machine and the mowing activity. Never assume that
children will remain where you last saw them.
▲
Never leave machine unattended with ignition key in
switch, especially with children present.
▲
Keep children out of the mowing area and under the
watchful care of another responsible adult.
▲
Be alert and turn the machine off if children enter the
area.
▲
Before and while backing, look behind and down for
small children.
▲
Never carry children, even with the blades off. They
may fall off and be seriously injured or interfere with
safe machine operation.
▲
Never allow children to operate the machine.
▲
Use care when approaching blind corners, shrubs,
trees, the end of a fence or other objects that may
obscure vision.
Service
▲
Always keep engine and machine clean, removing
accumulated dirt, trash and other material from
machine. Clean up oil or fuel spillage. Allow machine
to cool before storing.
▲
Always wear adequate eye protection when servicing
the hydraulic system and battery, or when grinding
mower blades and removing accumulated debris.
▲
Use extra caution when handling gasoline and other
fuels. They are flammable and vapors are explosive.
▲
Never refuel unit while engine is running; never refuel
near an open flame or near devices which can create a
spark. Refuel outdoors preferably, or in well
ventilated areas.
▲
Never attempt to start engine when there is a strong
odor of gasoline fumes present. Locate and correct
cause.
▲
Never run the engine in an enclosed area unless
exhaust is vented to the outside. Exhaust gases contain
carbon monoxide which is odorless and deadly poison.
▲
Never attempt to make any adjustments or repairs to
the drive system or mower deck while the engine is
running or deck clutch is engaged. Mower blades
cannot be seen and are located very close to the deck
housing. Fingers and toes can be cut off instantly.
Repairs or maintenance requiring engine power should
be performed by trained personnel only.
▲
Never work under the machine or attachment unless it
is safely supported with stands, blocks or a hoist.
▲
Do not touch hot parts of machine.
▲
Keep nuts and bolts tight, especially the blade
attachment bolts. Keep equipment in good condition.
▲
Never tamper with safety devices. Check their proper
operation regularly.
▲
Grass collection system components are subject to
wear, damage and deterioration, which could expose
moving parts or allow objects to be thrown.
Frequently check components and replace with
manufacturer’s recommended parts, when necessary.
▲
Mower blades are sharp and can cut. Wrap the
blade(s) or wear gloves and use extra caution when
servicing them.
▲
Use only genuine Hustler replacement parts to ensure
that original standards are maintained
Read Owner’s Manual and Quick
Reference Decal before attempting to
operate this machine.
Keep shields or covers in place while
machine is in operation.
Keep hands away from rotating
pulleys and belts.
Never operate the mower deck with
side deflector removed or in raised
position, except when the grass
catcher attachment is being used.
Do not smoke while refueling.
Do not fill tank with engine running,
or while the engine is hot.
Allow engine to cool before storing
machine inside a building.
