To the new owner

The purpose of this manual is to assist owners and
operators in maintaining and operating the Hustler Z tractor
and deck. 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 under the right front
of the seat, the right front of the deck, and under the seat
pan, 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 is to be used as an extension of this manual. These
decals should not be removed 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. Local regulations
may restrict the age of the operator.

Using this manual

General operation, adjustment and maintenance guidance
is outlined for both the experienced and novice Hustler user.

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 seated on tractor facing
forward, 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.

the form is completed and forwarded to Hustler Turf
Equipment at time of delivery.
Be sure to register the tractor plus each attachment that
displays a model and serial identification number plate with
