IMPORTANT: When access is required under the seat plat-
form and the seat is equipped with the optional arm rests, make
certain to place the control arms in the park brake position and
pivot the arm rests upward before placing the seat platform in
the full forward position to prevent arm rest damage.
A. Deck clutch switch (Figure 3-1) — this switch engages
the deck. Pull the switch up to engage and push switch
down to disengage the clutch.
IMPORTANT: For additional clutch information refer
to the Mower deck operation section of this manual.
B. Ignition switch (Figure 3-1) — a three position switch:
"OFF", "PREHEAT/RUN", and "START". With key
inserted, rotate it clockwise to "PREHEAT/RUN"
position. After pre-heat has occurred, rotate the key to the
"START" position; release key when engine starts, and
switch will automatically return to the "RUN" position.
C. Oil pressure light (Figure 3-1) — (Non Tier 4 engines
only) this light comes on when the ignition switch is
placed in the RUN position and stays lit until the engine
is running and a safe oil pressure is developed. If light
comes on during operation, shut engine off immediately
and locate and correct the problem.

only) This light will flash once during engine starting to
show that the system is operating properly. This light will
also begin to flash an error code when a problem is
detected by the engine controller. Refer to the Hustler
Diesel Z General Service Manual (P/N 115164) for
H
additional information.
D. Temperature warning light (Figure 3-1) — this light
will come on when the engine coolant temperature
reaches an unsafe level during operation. If light comes
on, shut down the machine as soon as possible. Never
risk continued operation when light remains on; high
temperatures can severely damage the engine.
E. Glo-plug light (Figure 3-1) — this light comes on when
the ignition switch is turned to the "Pre-Heat/Run"
position and held. It shows that power is going to the glo-
plugs.
H
F. Alternator warning light (Figure 3-1) — this light
comes on when the ignition switch is placed in the RUN
position and stays lit until the engine is running and the
battery is being charged. If light comes on during
operation, shut engine off immediately, locate and correct
the problem.
If light remains on while engine is running, it indicates
that the battery is being discharged.
G. Fuel tank gauge (Figure 3-1) — This gauge shows the
fuel level for each fuel tank. The right gauge indicates the
fuel level in the right fuel tank and the left gauge
indicates the fuel level in the left fuel tank.
H. Temperature gauge and alarm (Figure 3-1) — this
gauge reflects the engine coolant temperature. If the
coolant reaches an unsafe level during operation, shut
down the machine as soon as possible. Never risk
continued operation when the gauge needle is in the high
range; high temperatures can severely damage the
engine.
An audible alarm will sound when the engine coolant is
close to overheating.
IMPORTANT: Never risk continued operation when
light remains on: high temperatures can severely damage
the engine.
I. Electronic hour meter (Figure 3-1) — registers 1/10
hour increments up to 9,999.9 total hours. Connected to
the ignition switch, the meter records the accumulative
time while the ignition key is switched to the RUN
position.
J. Throttle control (Figure 3-2) — a cable is linked to the
engine throttle for controlling engine speed. Move lever
forward to increase engine rpm, move lever rearward to
decrease engine rpm.
K. 15 amp fuse (Figure 3-3) — Ignition system & safety
system - 15 amp blade type. (This fuse can be found
behind the access cover located behind the seat.)
L. 25 amp fuse (Figure 3-3) — system controller - 25 amp
blade type. (This fuse can be found behind the access
cover located behind the seat.)
