Hydraulic System - HUSTLER X-ONE i Operator's Manual

WARNING
Shorts caused by battery terminals or metal tools touch-
ing metal mower components can cause sparks. Sparks
can cause a battery gas explosion which will result in per-
sonal injury.
• Prevent the battery terminals from touching any
metal mower parts when removing or installing the
battery.
• Do not allow metal tools to short between the bat-
tery terminals and metal mower parts.
WARNING
Incorrect battery cable routing could cause damage to the
mower and battery cables. This can cause sparks which
can cause a battery gas explosion which will result in per-
sonal injury.
• Always disconnect the negative (black) battery
cable(s) before disconnecting the positive (red)
cable(s).
• Always connect the positive (red) battery cable(s)
before connecting the negative (black) cable(s).

Hydraulic System

IMPORTANT: Never use hydraulic or automatic transmis-
sion fluid in this system; use only specified oil. Remember, dirt
is the primary enemy of any hydraulic system. Figure 4-3
Hydraulic fluid escaping under pressure may have
sufficient force to penetrate skin and cause serious
injury. Foreign fluid injected into the skin must be
surgically removed within a few hours by a doctor,
familiar with this form of injury, or gangrene may
result.
Before applying pressure to hydraulic system, make
sure all connections are tight and all hoses and lines
are in good condition. To find a leak under pressure,
use a piece of cardboard or wood — never use your
hands. Relieve all pressure in the system before dis-
connecting or working on hydraulic lines. To relieve
pressure, lower all attachments and shut off engine.
Check oil level in hydraulic system after every 50 hours of
operation or weekly, whichever occurs first. Check more often if
system appears to be leaking or otherwise malfunctioning.
Figure 4-3
When checking the hydraulic system's oil level:
1. Always check oil level with the mower on level ground.
2. Always check oil level when the oil is cold (mower has
not run for at least 1.5 hours).
3. Always check oil level with the dipstick installed and
tightened.
4. Full level when oil is cold is at the "H" line on the
dipstick.
