Read Owner’s Manual and Quick Reference Decal before attempting to operate this machine.
Safety and Instruction Decals
Specific safety warning decals are located on the equipment near the immediate areas of potential hazards. These decals should not be removed or obliterated. Replace them if they become non-readable.
The following illustrations show the various decals that are located on the machine. A brief explanation, for those requiring one, is shown to help the operator understand the meanings of these decals.
Avoid skin contact with battery acid. Always wear eye protection when checking the battery, acid can cause serious injury to skin and eyes. If contact occurs, flush area with clean water and call physician immediately. Acid will also damage clothing. Do not allow open flame near the battery when charging. Hydrogen gas forms inside the battery. This gas is both toxic and flammable and may cause an explosion if exposed to flame. Always remove the negative ground first and replace it last. Do not overfill battery. Electrolyte may overflow and damage paint, wiring or structure. When cleaning the battery, use soap and water. Be careful not to get soap and water into the battery. Use soda mixed in water to clean corrosion off the terminals.
Do not remove or modify stabilizer wheels or injury can result. Never stop suddenly while backing down slopes. This action may result in a reaction of the tractor that can cause serious physical injury.
If you loose steering control while operating the machine, place the steering control levers in the park brake position immediately. Inspect the machine and involve your Hustler dealer to resolve the problem before continuing to operate.
If pump belt fails, steering control will be lost. Refer to owner’s manual for
inspection and replacement intervals and refer to above paragraph for emergency procedures.
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.
