Deck Cutting Height Adjustment; Anti-Scalp Wheels - HUSTLER X-ONE 936740CE Operator's Manual

Never attempt to make any adjustments to the

deck drive clutch engaged. Mower blades cannot
be seen and are located very close to the deck
housing. Fingers and toes can be cut off instantly.

Deck Clutch Operation
Before beginning operation, check to make sure the deck
clutch switch is engaging and disengaging the blades properly.
EN
Make sure that the area around and under the deck
is clear and that there are no bystanders in the
immediate area before proceeding.
ES
To check the deck clutch switch:
1. Start the engine and engage the deck clutch.
2. With the deck clutch switch up (clutch engaged) and
the engine running, listen to confirm that the mower
blades are rotating.
FR
3. Now, push the deck clutch switch down (clutch disen-
gaged), and with the engine running, listen to confirm
that the blades have stopped rotating.
4. If the mower blades continue to rotate with the deck
clutch switch down, discontinue operation immedi-
IT
ately and contact your Hustler
Follow these procedures to maximize clutch life:
1. Engage the clutch only when the throttle is set at
approximately 2/3 throttle and there is no load on the
blades. After clutch engagement, advance the engine
throttle to full rpm.
NL
Engaging the deck clutch at high engine rpm or when
under heavy load (in tall grass, for example) can cause
belts and/or electric clutch to slip, resulting in premature
wear or possible damage.
2. Disengage the clutch only when the throttle is set at
PT
less than 1/2 throttle.
Never disengage the clutch with the engine running at
high rpm. Setting the throttle to less than 1/2 throttle
when disengaging the clutch will help extend clutch life.
Warranty will not be allowed for deck clutches that fail due
to improper engagement and disengagement practices.

Anti-Scalp Wheels

Anti-scalp wheels are standard on these mowers. These
wheels are designed to minimize scalping when mowing on
rough uneven terrain. Figure 3-17
An optional rear anti-scalp roller is available.
There are two height adjustment settings for the anti-scalp
wheels/rollers. The upper hole positions the wheels/rollers
25.4 mm below the cutting blades and the lower hole posi-
tions them 50.8 mm below the cutting blades. Figure 3-17 &
