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

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

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.

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.

Operation Precautions
Never leave a running machine unattended. Always stop
on level ground, release blade lever and drive clutch lever
and set the throttle lever to the “STOP” position before
leaving machine for any reason including emptying the
catcher or unclogging the discharge chute.
Always keep safety shields and covers in place, except
for servicing.
Do not block the muffler outlet.
Always maintain a safe distance from people and pets
when mowing. Always stop machine and disengage the
blade if someone enters the area.
Always operate machine in daylight or with adequate
working lights.
Follow daily and weekly checklists, making sure blade is
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 accu-
mulated 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. Stay behind the handle when the engine is running.
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.
Do not operate the equipment while wearing sandals, ten-
nis shoes, sneakers, shorts or any type of loose fitting
clothing. Long hair, loose clothing or jewelry may get
tangled in moving parts. Always wear long pants, safety
glasses, ear protection and safety shoes when operating
this machine.
Always inspect machine for damage after striking a for-
eign object. If damage is found, repair machine immediately. Be sure to stop on level ground, release blade lever
and drive clutch lever and set the throttle lever to the
“STOP” position when leaving operator’s position to
inspect damage. Disconnect the spark plug wire before
checking the blades, being careful to not touch the hot
engine or muffler.
Do not pull machine backward unless absolutely neces-
sary. Always look down and behind before and while
moving backward. Always be aware of what is behind
the machine before backing up.
Never operate a poorly maintained machine.
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. Keep clear of the discharge opening at
all times.
Stop the engine before changing the cutting height.
Never direct discharge of material from mower deck
towards bystanders. Do not operate the mower without
either the entire mulching system (spacer, stand/stopper
and plug) 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. Disconnect
the spark plug wire before cleaning, being careful to not
touch the hot engine or muffler. 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.
Never operate the mower in wet grass as you may slip
and fall. Always be sure of your footing; walk; never run.
Never lift the machine while the engine is running.
Exercise caution when loading or unloading the machine
onto a trailer or truck. Use two people to lift unit.
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 direc-
tion, especially when maneuvering on slopes.
Clean flammable material from machine. Prevent
fires by keeping the mower clean of accumulated
trash, grass clippings and other debris. Always clean
up spilled fuel and oil.
108548_0711 4-1
Slope Operation
Slopes are a major factor in slip and fall accidents, which
can result in severe injury or death. All slopes require extra
caution. If you feel uneasy on a slope; 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.
Always be sure of your footing. Keep a firm hold on the
handle and walk—never run.
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 wheels lose
traction, disengage the blade and, using extreme caution,
proceed slowly off 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.
You could lose your footing or balance.
Do not mow on wet grass. Reduced traction could cause
sliding.
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
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 children present.
Children or bystanders may be injured if they move or
attempt to operate the mower while it is unattended.
Always release blade lever and drive clutch lever and set
the throttle lever to the “STOP” position before leaving
machine for any reason.
Keep children out of the mowing area and under the
watchful care of a responsible adult other than the operator.
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 blade 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 or block your view of a child.
