scheduled maintenance.
WARNING
When washing the mower, direct the spray away (espe-
cially if using a power washer) from the transaxle's seals
to prevent water intrusion and ensure component perfor-
mance.
Fuel And Evaporative Emissions Control
System
The fuel and evaporative emissions control system for this
mower is EPA compliant. Use only Hustler
replacement parts.
Your evaporative emission control system may include parts
such as: fuel tanks, fuel lines, fuel line fittings, fuel caps, carbon
canisters, canister mounting brackets, carburetor purge port
604220
connection, filters, vapor hoses, clamps, control valves, control
solenoids, electronic controls, vacuum control diaphragms,
purge valves, liquid/vapor separator and other associated
components.
Modifying or Tampering with the evaporative emissions
control system or the fuel system is prohibited. Federal law
and California State law prohibit the following acts or the
causing thereof:
1. The removal or rendering inoperative by any person other
than for purposes of maintenance, repair, replacement, of
any device or element of design incorporated into any
equipment for the purposes of emissions control prior to
or after its sales or delivery to the ultimate purchaser or
while it is in use, or
2. The use of the equipment after such device or element of
design has been removed or rendered inoperative by any
person.
Use of replacement parts not equivalent to the original
parts may result in system failure and pose a safety haz-
ard.
To avoid personal injury or property damage, use
extreme care in handling fuel. Fuel is extremely flam-
mable and the vapors are explosive.
Observe usual fuel handling precautions
• Do not smoke while refueling. Extinguish all ciga-
rettes, cigars, pipes and other sources of ignition.
• Do not remove fuel cap or fill tank with engine
running or while engine is hot. Clean up any fuel
spills.
• If fuel is spilled, do not attempt to start the engine
but move the machine away from the area of spill-
age and avoid creating any source of ignition until
fuel vapors have dissipated.
• Allow engine to cool before storing machine inside
a building.
• Keep fuel away from open flame or spark and store
machine away from open flame or spark or pilot
light such as on a water heater or appliances.
• Use extreme care when handling gasoline and other
fuels. They are extremely flammable and vapors are
explosive. A fire or explosion from fuel can burn
you and others and can damage property.
® approved
• Refuel outdoors. Never refuel or drain the fuel from
