SAFETY PRECAUTIONS
▲ Never push forward suddenly on the steering controllevers while the machine is in rearward motionbecause the machine may tip backward.
▲ When moving in reverse, push forward slowly on leverand avoid sudden movement. Rapid movement of thecontrol levers in either direction could result in areaction of the tractor that can cause serious injury.
▲ Never operate a poorly maintained machine.▲ Never attempt high speed maneuvering, especially in
crowded or congested areas.▲ Never allow persons to operate this machine without
proper instruction or allow children to operatemachine. Allow only responsible adults who arefamiliar with these instructions to operate thismachine.
▲ Never put hands or feet under any part of the machinewhile it is running.
▲ Never carry passengers.▲ Never direct discharge of material from mower deck
towards bystanders. Do not operate the mowerwithout either the discharge chute or the entire grasscollection system in place.
▲ Always disengage the blades and wait for them to stopbefore crossing gravel drives, walks or roads.
▲ Always keep clear of the mower blades andattachments during their operation.
▲ Turn off blades when not mowing.▲ Slow down before turning.▲ Stop the engine before removing the grass catcher or
unclogging the discharge chute. Never clear thedischarge chute with the engine running. Turn off theengine and be sure the blades have stopped beforecleaning. Use a stick to clear a plugged discharge area.Never use your hand!
▲ Do not operate the machine while under the influenceof alcohol or drugs.
▲ Exercise caution when loading or unloading themachine onto a trailer or truck.
▲ Always wear safety goggles or safety glasses with sideshields when operating the mower.
▲ Data indicates that operators, age 60 years and above,are involved in a large percentage of riding mower-related injuries. These operators should evaluate theirability to operate the mower safely enough to protectthemselves and others from serious injury.
▲ Never make sudden starts, stops, turns, or reversedirection, especially when maneuvering on slopes.The steering is designed for sensitive response. Rapidmovement of the control levers in either directioncould result in a reaction of the tractor that can causeserious injury.
▲ If any attachment or additional weight is mounted onthe rear of the unit, any rapid movement of the controllevers in either direction could result in a reaction ofthe tractor that can cause serious injury.
▲▲ Clean flammable material from machine. Preventfires by keeping engine compartment, battery, fuelline, fuel tank and operator’s station clean ofaccumulated trash, grass clippings, and otherdebris. Always clean up spilled fuel and oil.
Slope OperationSlopes are a major factor in loss-of-control and tip-overaccidents, which can result in sever injury or death. Allslopes require extra caution. If you cannot back up theslope or if you feel uneasy on it; do not mow it.
▲ Use extreme caution when operating on slopes.• Be extremely careful changing directions on a slope.
Slow down.• Do not operate where the machine could slip or tip.
▲ Do not remove or modify the stabilizer wheels.▲ Watch for holes, ruts or bumps. Uneven terrain could
overturn the machine. Tall grass can hide obstacles.▲ Remove obstacles such as rocks, tree limbs, etc.▲ Keep all movement on slopes slow and gradual. Do
not make sudden changes in speed or direction.▲ Avoid starting and stopping on a slope. If tires lose
traction, disengage the blades and proceed slowlystraight down the slope.
▲ Do not turn on slopes unless necessary, and then, turnslowly and gradually downhill, if possible.
▲ Do not mow near drop-offs, ditches, or embankments.The machine could suddenly turn over if a wheel goesover the edge of a cliff or ditch, or if an edge caves in.
▲ Do not mow on wet grass. Reduced traction couldcause sliding.
▲ Do not try to stabilize the machine by putting your footon the ground.
▲ The Hustler mower is capable of operatinghorizontally (traverse) on moderately steep slopes.When operating on slopes up to 15 degrees, be awareof any conditions that may cause the tractor drive tiresto lose traction resulting in a possible loss of control ofthe machine. An operator should not operate on aslope until he is thoroughly familiar with theequipment.Do not operate the machine on slopes greater than15 degrees.Refer to Figure 2-1, page 2-5, when determining thedegree of slope to be mowed.
It is strongly recommended that the operator drivethe machine off of the slope, using extreme caution, ifany sign of loss of traction is detected. Wait until thecondition that caused the problem is resolved beforeattempting to operate on the slope again.
Terrain conditions can affect traction resulting inpossible loss of control of the machine. Some of theconditions to be aware of are:
1. Wet terrain2. Depressions in the ground; i.e. holes, ruts,
washouts3. Mounds of dirt4. Soil type; i.e. sand, loose dirt, gravel, clay5. Grass type, density, and height6. Extremely dry conditions of grass7. Tire pressure
The attachments mounted to the tractor will alsoaffect the way it handles on a slope. Be aware thateach attachment’s characteristics vary.
Another consideration to safe mowing on slopes isto be aware of what is located at the bottom of the
302638 Rev 1/052-2
302638 Rev 1/05 2-3
slope. Extreme caution should be used when there is ahazard located at the bottom of the slope. Someexamples are:
1. Water; i.e. lake, river2. Cliffs, retaining walls3. Roads, highways4. Buildings5. Rocks
These are just a few examples of situations whencaution must be used when operating on a slope.There are many other possibilities too numerous tomention. Just remember to always exercise extremecaution when operating on any slope.
ChildrenTragic accidents can occur if the operator is not alert tothe presence of children. Children are often attracted tothe machine and the mowing activity. Never assume thatchildren will remain where you last saw them.
▲ Never leave machine unattended with ignition key inswitch, especially with children present.
▲ Keep children out of the mowing area and under thewatchful care of another responsible adult.
▲ Be alert and turn the machine off if children enter thearea.
▲ Before and while backing, look behind and down forsmall children.
▲ Never carry children, even with the blades off. Theymay fall off and be seriously injured or interfere withsafe machine operation.
▲ Never allow children to operate the machine.▲ Use care when approaching blind corners, shrubs,
trees, the end of a fence or other objects that mayobscure vision.
Service▲ Always keep engine and machine clean, removing
accumulated dirt, trash and other material frommachine. Clean up oil or fuel spillage. Allow machineto cool before storing.
▲ Always wear adequate eye protection when servicingthe battery or when grinding mower blades andremoving accumulated debris.
▲ Use extra caution when handling gasoline and otherfuels. They are flammable and vapors are explosive.
▲ Never refuel tractor while engine is running; neverrefuel near an open flame or near devices which cancreate a spark. Refuel outdoors preferably, or in wellventilated areas.
▲ Never attempt to start engine when there is a strongodor of gasoline fumes present. Locate and correctcause.
▲ Never run the engine in an enclosed area unlessexhaust is vented to the outside. Exhaust gases containcarbon monoxide which is odorless and deadly poison.
▲ Never attempt to make any adjustments or repairs tothe tractor drive system, mower deck or anyattachment while the tractor engine is running or deckclutch is engaged. Repairs or maintenance requiringengine power should be performed by trainedpersonnel only.
▲ Never work under the machine or attachment unless itis safely supported with stands, blocks or a hoist.
▲ Do not touch hot parts of machine.▲ Keep nuts and bolts tight, especially the blade
attachment bolts. Keep equipment in good condition.▲ Never tamper with safety devices. Check their proper
operation regularly.▲ Grass collection system components are subject to
wear, damage and deterioration, which could exposemoving parts or allow objects to be thrown.Frequently check components and replace withmanufacturer’s recommended parts, when necessary.
▲ Mower blades are sharp and can cut. Wrap theblade(s) or wear gloves and use extra caution whenservicing them.
▲ Use only genuine Hustler replacement parts to ensurethat original standards are maintained
Read Owner’s Manual and QuickReference Decal before attempting to
operate this machine.
Do not smoke while refueling.Do not fill tank with engine running,or while the engine is hot.Allow engine to cool before storingmachine inside a building.Store away from open flame or sparkif there is fuel in tank.Clean up any gasoline spills.Do not refuel while in enclosed traileror other enclosed areas
Safety and Instruction Decals
▲▲ Specific safety warning decals are located on the equipment near the immediate areas of potential hazards. These decalsshould not be removed or obliterated. Replace them if they become non-readable.
The following illustrations show the various safety decals that are located on the machine. A brief explanation is shownto help the operator understand the meanings of these decals.
Avoid skin contact with battery acid.Always wear eye protection whenchecking the battery, acid can causeserious injury to skin and eyes. Ifcontact occurs, flush area with cleanwater and call physician immediately.Acid will also damage clothing.Do not allow open flame near thebattery when charging.Hydrogen gas forms inside thebattery. This gas is both toxic andflammable and may cause anexplosion if exposed to f lame.Always remove the negative groundfirst and replace it last.Do not overfill battery.Electrolyte may overflow anddamage paint, wiring or structure.When cleaning the battery, use soapand water. Be careful not to getsoap and water into the battery. Usesoda mixed in water to cleancorrosion off the terminals.
Hydraulic f luid escaping underpressure can penetrate skin.Hydraulic f luid may also causeinfection in a minor cut or opening inthe skin; if exposed to hydraulic fluid,see a doctor at once.Before applying pressure to hydraulicsystem, make sure all connectionsare tight and all hoses and lines arein good condition.Relieve all pressure in the systembefore disconnecting or working onhydraulic lines.To find a leak under pressure, use apiece of cardboard or wood – neveruse your hands.To relieve all pressure in system,turn engine off and lower attachment.
Do not remove or modify stabilizerwheels or rear engine guard or injurycan result.Never stop suddenly while backingdown slopes. This action may resultin a reaction of the tractor that cancause serious physical injury.
Never operate the mower deck withside deflector removed or in raisedposition, except when the grasscatcher attachment is being used.
Hot surface!
Keep shields or covers in placewhile machine is in operation.Keep hands away from rotatingpulleys and belts.

5. With the deck clutch switch up and/or the controllevers in the neutral position, slowly raise off of theseat. The engine should stop.
6. If the engine fails to stop when the deck clutch switchis up or one or both of the control levers is up and theoperator is off the seat, check the function of the seatswitch. If the seat switch is not operating properly (isnot opening or closing) and if the cause can not bedetermined, replace the seat switch.
If the problem can not be located, contact your HustlerDealer.
WARNING: The safety interlock system shouldalways function per steps 4 and 5. If it does notfunction properly, it should be correctedimmediately. Do not operate machine withoutproperly functioning seat safety switch.
Engine startingThe Mini Z safety start interlock system is also designed
to protect the operator and others from accidental injury dueto unintentional engine starting. The engine starting motorwill not engage until:

A. Control levers are in the park brake position.B. Deck clutch switch is in the down (OFF) position.
WARNING: The safety interlock system mustnot be disconnected or bypassed.
NOTE: The operator’s seat is equipped with a separatesafety switch. If for any reason the operator should becomeunseated when the brake switches are disengaged or thedeck clutch switch is engaged the engine will stop.
The following steps are the correct procedures forstarting the engine. If difficulty is encountered, contact theHustler Dealer in your area.
1. Before starting tractor each day, perform daily pre-operation checking.
2. Make sure the control levers are in the park brakeposition and deck clutch switch is disengaged.
3. Use choke when engine is cold, or if warm engine failsto start within 5 seconds of cranking. Avoid floodingand operate engine without choking as soon aspossible.
4. Set throttle at approximately 1/2 open position. 5. Insert key in ignition switch and rotate full clockwise
to engage starting motor. Release key when enginestarts.
IMPORTANT: The engine starter should not beoperated for periods longer than 30 seconds at a time. Aninterval of at least two minutes should be allowed betweensuch cranking periods to protect the starter from overheatingand burn-out.
6. Perform test to make sure safety start interlock systemis operating properly. Refer to Safety start interlocksystem section.
7. As soon as engine begins to run, check to make certainthe oil warning light is off. If not, stop engineimmediately and check for the cause.
8. Allow the engine to idle a few minutes beforeadvancing the throttle and/or engaging the deck clutch.
9. Before stopping the engine, place the control levers inthe park brake position, disengage the deck clutch, andthrottle back to low idle for a couple of minutes; thenrotate ignition key counter-clockwise to the OFFposition. Remove the key from switch before leavingthe tractor.
WARNING: Never leave the machineunattended with key in ignition switch.
Moving tractor with stalled engineIf it becomes necessary to move the tractor when the
engine is inoperative, the hydraulic pumps are equipped withbypass valves. Before moving the unit, turn bypass valvescounter clockwise one-half to one revolution. The valvestems on each hydraulic pump are located near the top andare identified as a hex stud. The valve is located per Figure3-7.
Do not tow the machine. Move it by hand or use a winchto load on a trailer for transporting.
When transporting on another vehicle, the tractor should
be facing forward and it must be secured. IMPORTANT: Always make certain the two bypass
valves are returned to their operating position before runningthe tractor following repairs.
Driving the tractor
DANGER: Never make sudden stops or reversedirection, especially when going down a slope.The steering is designed for sensitive response.Rapid movement of the control levers in eitherdirection could result in a reaction of the tractorthat can cause serious injury.
After starting engine, engage the control leversand steer as follows:
To go forward, push control levers forward an equaldistance (Fig. 3-8).
To go in reverse, pull control levers rearward an equaldistance (Fig. 3-8).
To turn left, move the right control lever farther forwardfrom neutral than the left control lever.(Fig. 3-8)
To turn right, move the left control lever farther forwardfrom neutral than the right control lever. (Fig. 3-8)
To pivot turn, move one control lever forward and theother control lever back of neutral. This will allow the drivewheels to counter-rotate. (Fig. 3-8)
To stop or decrease speed, move control levers toneutral. When going forward pull back gently on controllevers. When going in reverse push forward gently oncontrol levers.
DANGER: When moving in the rearwarddirection push forward gently on control leversand avoid sudden movement. Any suddenmovement could cause the front of the mower tocome off of the ground resulting in possible lossof control.
WARNING: Never stop suddenly while backingdown slopes. This action may result in areaction of the tractor that can cause seriousphysical injury.
302638 Rev 1/05 3-3

Bypass valve
To increase speed, increase control lever’s distance fromneutral. The farther forward control levers are from neutral,the faster tractor will travel forward. The farther backcontrol levers are from neutral, the faster tractor will go inreverse.Operating suggestions
DANGER: Prior to operating the tractor theoperator should be thoroughly familiar with theproper use and operation of the equipment,should read the manual completely andthoroughly, and should have attempted slowmoving maneuvers to become familiar with theoperation of the equipment before attemptingnormal speed operation. An inexperiencedoperator should not mow on slopes or on uneventerrain.
WARNING: If you lose steering control whileoperating the machine, place the steeringcontrol levers in the park brake positionimmediately. Inspect the machine and involveyour Hustler dealer to resolve the problembefore continuing to operate.
WARNING: The unit’s control levers are veryresponsive: Easy does it! For smooth operation,move lever slowly, avoid sudden movement.Skill and ease of operation come with practiceand experience.
Inexperienced operators may have a tendency tooversteer and lose control. Slow-moving practicemaneuvers are recommended to become familiar with thesecharacteristics before attempting normal speed operation.
WARNING: Sharp depressions or raisedobstacles (such as gutters or curbs) should not bedirectly approached at high speed in an attemptto “jump” them as the operator could be thrownfrom the equipment. Approach at a slow speedand angle one drive wheel at the obstruction.Continue at an angle until the wheel clears andthen pivot the opposite wheel around.
When turning on soft wet turf, keep both wheels rollingeither forward or backward. Pivoting on one stopped wheelcan damage turf. This is especially important whenmowing.
Tractor performance is maximum when the throttle is setat full rpm. This gives maximum power to the drive wheelsand deck when needed. Use the control levers to controlground speed rather than engine rpm.
WARNING: Do not operate the equipmentwhile wearing sandals, tennis shoes, sneakers,shorts or any type of loose fitting clothing.Always wear long pants, safety glasses andsafety shoes when operating this machine.
Keep blades sharp. Many professional mowingcompanies have additional sets of blades and change bladestwice a day: once in the morning and again at noon. Manyproblems with incorrect cutting patterns are due to dullblades or blades which have been sharpened incorrectly.Information on sharpening blades is listed in this manual’smaintenance section. In addition, most communities haveindividuals or companies which specialize in sharpeningmower blades. Blade sharpness should be checked daily.
Use high blade speed. Your Mini Z is designed tooperate at full throttle. The throttle setting directly controlsblade speed. The highest blade speed generally gives bestcut.

Direct grass discharge to right, away from unmownarea. Select a mowing pattern that directs grass dischargetowards the outside, not towards center, of mowing area.Generally, this means using a pattern utilizing left turnsbecause side discharge (Fig. 3-9) is to right. In any case,avoid throwing grass discharge onto unmowed area becausegrass is then mowed “twice”. Mowing twice puts anunnecessary load on the unit and reduces mowing efficiency.
WARNING: Never direct discharge of materialfrom mower deck towards bystanders.
WARNING: Never operate the mower deckwith discharge chute removed or in raisedposition.
WARNING: Always check area to be mown forrocks and other debris before mowing.
Mower deck operation
DANGER: Never attempt to make anyadjustments to the mower deck while the engineis running or with the deck drive clutch engaged.Mower blades cannot be seen and are locatedvery close to deck housing. Fingers and toes canbe cut off instantly.
With the engine running, engage the deck clutch switch(Fig. 3-2) and advance engine throttle to full rpm.
NOTE: Engaging the deck clutch at high engine rpm orwhen under heavy load (in tall grass for example) can causebelts and/or electric clutch to slip, resulting in prematurewear or possible damage.

Pump drive belt only - Inspect every 100 hours and replace if worn or cracking isnoticed. Otherwise, replace every 400 hours or 2 years whichever comes first.7. Check fuel line hoses, fuel valve and grommet for any cracks or leaks.REFERENCES:a — Refer to Engine Owner’s Manual
NOTE: After completing maintenance cycle (500hours), repeat cycle.
IntroductionWARNING: Unless specifically required, DONOT have engine running when servicing ormaking adjustments to tractor. Place controllevers in the park brake position, disengage deckclutch, and remove ignition switch key. Repairsor maintenance requiring engine power should beperformed by trained personnel only. To preventcarbon monoxide poisoning, be sure properventilation is available when engine must beoperated in an enclosed area. Read and observesafety warnings in front of manual.
DANGER: Before working on or under thedeck, make certain engine cannot be accidentallystarted. Shut engine off and remove ignitionswitch key for maximum safety. Repairs ormaintenance requiring engine power should beperformed by trained personnel only.
DANGER: Exercise caution when workingunder the deck as the mower blades areextremely sharp. Wearing gloves is advisablewhen working around or with the blades.
WARNING: Except when changing or checkingbelt, always keep belt covers on mower forsafety as well as cleanliness.
WARNING: When possible clean under mower,using a stick or similar instrument making surethat no part of the body, especially arms andhands are under mower.
Regular maintenance is the best prevention for costlydowntime or expensive, premature repair. The followingpages contain suggested maintenance information andschedules which the operator should follow on a routinebasis.
Remain alert for unusual noises, they could be signalinga problem. Visually inspect the machine for any abnormalwear or damage. A good time to detect potential problemsis while performing scheduled maintenance service.Correcting the problem as quickly as possible is the bestinsurance.
WARNING: Keep your machine clean andremove any deposits of trash and clippings,which can cause engine fires and hydraulicoverheating as well as excessive belt wear.
Clear away heavy build-up of grease, oil and dirt,especially in the engine and hydraulic reservoir area; minutedust particle are abrasive to close-tolerance engine andhydraulic assemblies.
Daily inspect mower for grass clippings and wire andstring tangles. The underside of the mower deck will collecta build-up of grass clippings and dirt, especially when grassis wet or has high moisture content. This build-up willharden, restricting blade and air movement and willprobably show a poorer quality of cutting. Therefore itshould be removed routinely.
To do this it will be necessary to raise and block the deckin the full up position and scrape the build-up fromunderneath.
Some repairs require the assistance of a trained servicemechanic and should not be attempted by unskilledpersonnel. Consult your Hustler service center whenassistance is needed.
Torque values
WARNING: Particular attention must be givento tightening the drive wheel lug nuts, wheelmotor nuts, and blade spindle bolts. Failure tocorrectly torque these items may result in theloss of a wheel or blade, which can cause seriousdamage or personal injury.

The battery is located under the seat. Fig. 4-3
WARNING: Avoid skin contact with batteryacid.Always wear eye protection when checking thebattery, acid can cause serious injury to skin andeyes. If contact occurs, flush area with cleanwater and call physician immediately. Acid willalso damage clothing.Do not allow open flame near the battery whencharging.Hydrogen gas forms inside the battery. This gasis both toxic and flammable and may cause anexplosion if exposed to flame. Always removethe negative ground first and replace it last.Do not overfill battery.Electrolyte may overflow and damage paint,wiring or structure. When cleaning the battery,use soap and water. Be careful not to get soapand water into the battery. Use soda mixed inwater to clean corrosion off the terminals.
Common circuit failures are usually caused by shorting,corroded or dirty terminals; loose connections, defectivewire insulation or broken wires. Switches, solenoids andignition components may also fail, causing a shorted or opencircuit.
Before attempting any failure diagnosis of the electricalsystem, use a test light or voltmeter to check the batteryvoltage. If the battery voltage is satisfactory, check thecleanliness and tightness of the terminals and groundconnections. A general understanding of electrical servicingand use of basic test equipment is necessary fortroubleshooting and repair.

Major overhaul or repair of the starting motor oralternator should be performed by trained technicians only.
Burnishing the electric clutch
WARNING: To insure maximum performanceand life, it is necessary to burnish the clutch.
Burnishing the electric clutch (Fig. 4-4) will developbetter contact between the armature and rotor, helping todevelop higher torque capabilities without slipping. Thewarranty on the new clutch will be voided if it is notburnished properly.
Use the following procedure to burnish the clutch:1. Check the air gap between armature and rotor. Gap
should be .012” to .024”.2. Cycle the clutch on and off 10 times (15 seconds on
and 15 seconds off) with the engine operating at halfthrottles, approximately 1500 rpm.
Access to engine and hydraulicpumps
The hydraulic pumps are accessed by lifting the seatplatform. The seat platform is hinged at the front. To raiseit, release seat latch and tilt seat platform up and forward.The seat platform catch (Fig. 4-5) will prevent the seat fromgoing all the way over. However, if more access is desiredunder the seat platform, the seat platform catch can be raisedallowing the seat to pivot more. Make certain to place thecontrol levers in the park brake position and pivot thearm rests upward before placing the seat platform in thefull forward position to prevent arm rest damage.
WARNING: Always wear adequate eyeprotection when servicing the hydraulic systemand battery.
Hydraulic systemIMPORTANT: Never use hydraulic or automatic
transmission fluid in this system; use only motor oil asspecified. Remember, dirt is the primary enemy of anyhydraulic system.
WARNING: Hydraulic oil escaping underpressure can penetrate skin. Hydraulic oil maycause infection in a minor cut or opening in theskin. If exposed to hydraulic fluid, see a doctorat once. Before applying pressure to hydraulic system,make sure all connections are tight and all hosesand lines are in good condition. To find a leakunder pressure, use a piece of cardboard or wood— never use your hands. Relieve all pressure inthe system before disconnecting or working onhydraulic lines. To relieve pressure, lower allattachments and shut off engine.

Check oil level in hydraulic system after every 50 hoursof operation or weekly, whichever occurs first. Check moreoften if system appears to be leaking or otherwisemalfunctioning.
Fluid level should be 1” from top of reservoir. Use onlySAE 10W40 SG, SF/CC, CD service motor oil.
Change hydraulic system filter element (Fig. 4-6) afterfirst 50 hours of tractor operation, then replace filter and oilin reservoir every 500 hours thereafter. When changinghydraulic oil use 1/2 unit (approximately 3.5 oz.) of Lubrizoladditive (Hustler P/N 027912). This additive, availablefrom your Hustler dealer, will increase the performance lifeof the hydraulic system components.
The system filter is located to the right of the hydraulicreservoir. A standard oil filter wrench is used to changefilter, threads are right handed. Use a Hustler approvedfilter element only.
IMPORTANT: Prefill the filter element with clean oil,before installing, to prevent drawing air into the systempump.
1. Fill the filter element with clean system oil. Smear alight coating of oil on upper surface of rubber seal.
2. Install the filter element on base. Tighten the oil filterby hand until the filter seal makes contact with thefilter head, then tighten an additional 3/4 turn with a anoil filter wrench. — DO NOT OVERTIGHTEN.
3. Start tractor engine and let run at approximately 2/3throttle for a few minutes to work any trapped air outof the system before engaging the steering controllever.
4. Stop the engine and check the filter and connectionsfor leaks.
5. Check the hydraulic reservoir for specified oil level.Add clean oil as necessary.
Clean or replace hydraulic reservoir cap annually. Capmay be cleaned by dipping in or flushing with cleaningsolvent. Follow manufacturer’s instructions and warningsfor application of solvent type selected.
NOTE: The hydraulic pumps are equipped with bypassvalves. For more information refer to Operation section,Moving tractor with stalled engine.
A hydraulic oil heat exchanger is installed on the SuperMini Z. This heat exchanger is designed to keep hydraulicsystem oil temperature lower in hot operating conditions orheavy continuous operating conditions.
This hydraulic heat exchanger is located above theengine. Air is drawn across the cooling fins by an electricfan located above the heat exchanger. Fig. 4-7
Fuel system
WARNING: Observe usual fuel handlingprecautions; do not smoke while refueling, donot fill tank with engine running or while engineis hot; allow engine to cool before storingmachine inside a building, keep fuel away fromopen flame or spark and store machine awayfrom open flame or spark if there is fuel in thetank. Do not refuel in enclosed trailer or otherenclosed areas. Clean up any fuel spills. Readand observe safety precautions at front of thismanual.

Engine air filterPerform engine air filter maintenance per the Service
Interval chart on page 4-2.A specially designed dry filter is standard equipment on
the Mini Z and Super Mini Z tractors and supplies cleancombustion air to the engine. Fig. 4-12Recommended service procedure
Many engine failures can be attributed to improper aircleaner servicing. Ingested dust and dirt will cause cylinder,piston and bearing damage in a few hours. “Dusted”engines will result from:
1. Overservicing the air filter element.2. Improper installation.3. Damaged filter, seals or canister.4. Incorrect air filter element size.5. Use of poorly designed aftermarket air filter elements.Air cleaner servicing is an inexpensive maintenance
check that can prevent costly non-warrantable prematureengine damage.Overservicing
Overservicing occurs when an air filter element isremoved for cleaning or replacement before it is necessary.Each time the filter is removed a small amount of dirt anddust could fall in the intake system. This accumulated dirtcan cause a dusted engine. It only takes a few grams ofingested dirt over the normal service life of an engine tocause a dusted engine.
Do not clean element, replace with a new elementonly. Cleaning used air filter elements, through impropercleaning procedures, can get dust on the inside of the filtercausing dirt ingestion and engine failure.
It is important to note that whenever an air filter elementis cleaned by any method, the person or companyperforming the cleaning assumes responsibility for theintegrity of the filter from then on. The Donaldsonwarranty for air filters expires upon cleaning or
servicing in any manner because the condition of thefilter after servicing is completely out of their control.Therefore, on a dust ingested engine failure, there will beno warranty consideration if the air filter element hasbeen cleaned or serviced in any manner.
A partially dirty air filter element works better than anew element. Therefore, a dirty filter element is not bad forthe engine unless it is excessively restricting the air flow andengine performance is affected. The reason is simple. Themedia in the filter must be porous to allow air to passthrough it. When dirty air passes through the filter, the dirtplugs some of the holes in the media and actually acts aspart of the filter media. When the next round of dirt enters,the first dirt helps filter out even smaller particles makingthe filter more efficient at stopping dirt from entering theengine. This is referred to as barrier filtration.
Of course, at some point the filter media becomes tooclogged to allow air to pass.
The mowing conditions will determine the frequency ofair filter element changing. Improper installation of an air filter element
Dust must not leak past the seals on each end of the airfilter element. The filter must be aligned within the canisterand properly seated for an effective seal so that no dirt canenter the engine. Damaged filter, seals or canister
Never bang or bump the filter element against the tire orany solid object, as dust and dirt particles will be forcedthrough the media causing continual passing of dirt into theengine. Visually inspect the outside of the air cleanercanister periodically for external damage and replace ifnecessary.Incorrect air cleaner element
Use only the correct Donaldson air filter element, Hustlerpart number 785261, which is designed to fit the canisterproperly.
Hustler air filter elements have the correct mediacomposition, filter area, micron size and dimensions.Always use genuine Hustler filters. Many aftermarket filtershave been found to be incompatible with Hustler’s canistersand engines.
The air filter must remain intact to block passage of dirtand foreign particles from entering the engine. Beinginclined to disbelieve the need for more expensive air filterelements used on gasoline engines may cause someindividuals to opt for a less expensive part.
The filter element must be sufficient size andconstruction to withstand stresses, caused by rapid cyclingof the air volume demanded by the engine, without crackingor tearing under fatigue and pressure (especially dieselengines). Therefore, Hustler Turf Equipment and the enginemanufacturers have carefully selected a reliable filterdesigned to fit the needs of the engines. The filter specifiedis a Donaldson filter, Hustler part number 785261.
Owners should be reminded that failure to use originalequipment replacement parts is an “alteration” and will notbe considered for warranty in the event of engine damage.Recommended service procedure
1. Release clamps and remove element. Clean thecanister with a damp cloth.
4-11302638 Rev 1/05
Figure 4-13
Indicator
Resetbutton
2. Before installing a new element, inspect it by placing abright light inside and rotate the element slowly,looking for any holes or tears in the paper. Also checkgaskets for cuts or tears. Do not attempt to use adamaged element which will allow abrasive particlesto enter the engine.
3. Reinstall the dust cup. Make sure it seals all the wayaround the air cleaner body, then tighten the clamps.
4. Check all fittings and clamps periodically for tightnessand inspect hoses for holes or cracks.
5. Periodically check the intake hose for signs of ingesteddust. Locate and repair the source of ingested dirt.
6. Never operate a machine without an air filter installed.
Air restriction indicatorAny unit with a Kawasaki engine will have an air
restriction indicator installed in the air cleaner. Fig. 4-13Replace the element whenever the restriction indicator
shows reaches the change filter red line. Check the indicatordaily and replace element as needed or annually whicheveroccurs first.

Belt replacementFigures 4-14 and 4-15 show diagrams and descriptions of
the unit’s belt drive systems.Inspect these belts frequently for wear and serviceability.
Replace a belt that shows signs of severe cuts, tears,separation, weather checking and cracking, or burns causedby slipping. Slight raveling of belt covering does notindicate failure, trim ravelings with a sharp knife.
WARNING: If the pump belt fails, loss ofcontrol will occur especially when operating on aslope. If you lose steering control whileoperating the machine, place the steeringcontrol levers in the park brake positionimmediately. Inspect the machine and involveyour Hustler dealer to resolve the problembefore continuing to operate.
Inspect the belt pulley grooves and flanges for wear. Anew belt, or one in good condition, should never run againstthe bottom of the groove. Replace the pulley when this isthe case, otherwise belt will lose power and slip excessively.
Never pry a belt to get it on a pulley as this will cut ordamage the fibers of the belt covering.
Keep oil and grease away from belts, and never use beltdressings. Any of these will destroy the belt composition ina very short time.
Mower blade maintenanceCheck the mower blades daily, they are the key to power
efficiency and well groomed turf. Keep them sharp, a dullblade will tear rather than cut the grass, leaving a brownragged top on the grass within a few hours. A dull bladealso requires more power from the engine.
Replace any blade which is bent, cracked or broken.
WARNING: Never attempt to straighten a bentblade by heating, or weld a cracked or brokenblade as the blade may break and cause seriousinjury.
DANGER: Never work with blades whileengine is running or deck clutch is engaged.Always place deck clutch in the disengagedposition, engage parking brake and neutral locklevers and turn engine off. Block up mowerwhen you must work under it. Wear gloveswhen handling blades. Always check for bladedamage if mower strikes rock, branch or otherforeign object during mowing!
Mower blade removalUse a 15/16" wrench to remove the 5/8" cap screw
holding the blade to the spindle shaft from underneath.Sharpen the blades on a grinder following pattern as
shown (Fig. 4-16). Touch-up sharpening can be done witha file.
Check the blades for balance following grinding. Acommercial balancing tool is available through mosthardware supply stores, or balancing can be done by placingthe blade on an inverted line punch or 5/8" bolt. Bladeshould not lean or tilt. Spin the blade slowly, blade shouldnot wobble. If blade is out of balance, true it up beforereinstalling.
Lay the blade on a flat surface and check for distortion(Fig. 4-17 and 4-18). Replace any distorted blade.
Do not re-use spindle bolts which have stripped, worn orundercut threads. Torque bolts to 118 foot-pounds whenreinstalling blades.
WARNING: When mounting blades, rotatethem after installation to ensure blade tips do nottouch each other or sides of the mower.
WARNING: Failure to correctly torque the boltmay result in the loss of the blade which cancause serious injury.
WARNING: Mower blades are sharp and cancut. Wrap the blade(s) or wear gloves and useextra caution when servicing them.

ADJUSTMENTS
IntroductionWARNING: Unless specifically required, DONOT have engine running when servicing ormaking adjustments to tractor. Place controllevers in the park brake position and removeignition switch key. Repairs or maintenancerequiring engine power should be performed bytrained personnel only. To prevent carbonmonoxide poisoning, be sure proper ventilationis available when engine must be operated in anenclosed area. Read and observe safety warningsin front of manual.
Your Mini Z or Super Mini Z was adjusted before it leftthe factory and was checked during predelivery setup.However, after start-up and continued use, a certain amountof break-in wear will cause some adjustments to change.
Remain alert for unusual noises, they could be signalinga problem. Visually inspect the machine for any abnormalwear or damage. A good time to detect potential problemsis while performing scheduled maintenance service.Correcting the problem as quickly as possible is the bestinsurance.
WARNING: Keep your machine clean andremove heavy deposits of trash and clippings,they can cause engine fires and hydraulicoverheating as well as excessive belt wear.
Clear away heavy build-up of grease, oil and dirt,especially in the area of reservoir and oil and enginecombustion air; minute dust particle are abrasive to close-tolerance engine and hydraulic assemblies.
Some repairs require the assistance of a trained servicemechanic and should not be attempted by unskilledpersonnel. Consult your Hustler service center whenassistance is needed.
Torque values
WARNING: Particular attention must be givento tightening the drive wheel lug nuts, wheelmotor nuts, and blade spindle bolts. Failure tocorrectly torque these items may result in theloss of a wheel or blade, which can cause seriousdamage or personal injury.
Torque values given below:Ft-lbs. Nm
Wheel (lug) nuts ................................65-75 ......88.14-101.7Wheel motor nut ............................290-310 .....393.2-420.4Blade spindle bolt top ...........................118 ................160.0Blade spindle bolt bottom .....................118 ................160.0
It is recommended that these be checked after the first 2hours of operation, initially and every 50 hours followingremoval for repair or replacement.
For engine torque values, see engine owner’s manual.For all other torques refer to the parts manual for
standard torque chart.
Steering linkageThe neutral adjustment for the control levers in the neutral
position is discussed in this section.The tractor steering has been factory adjusted to eliminate
creeping when the control levers are in the neutral position(Fig. 5-1). However, should the tractor begin to creep, thecontrol lever linkage can be adjusted as follows:
Control Lever Neutral AdjustmentBefore considering any adjustment, check the tire air
pressure and make certain hydraulic system oil is atoperating temperature. Unequal tire pressure will cause thetractor to drift to one side. Refer to tire pressure informationin the Maintenance section of this manual.
Fine adjustment to the unit’s steering is made with theadjustable pump linkage rods located between the controllever and pump arms. Fig. 5-2
Neutral is properly adjusted when the control levers are inthe neutral position and the drive wheels are not turning.

If the tractor creeps in the neutral position the controllinkage may be adjusted as follows:
1. Raise and block the tractor up so the drive wheels areoff of the floor.
WARNING: Make certain machine is securewhen it is raised and placed on the jack stands.The jack stands should not allow the machine tomove when the engine is running and the drivewheels are rotating. Use only certified jackstands.
2. Position the control lever in the neutral position.Disengage the deck clutch.
3. Start the engine and observe which way the wheels arerotating.
4. If wheel(s) are rotating forward, loosen the jam nuts onthe pump linkage rods and rotate the rod to lengthenthe steering control linkage until the wheel(s) come toa stop. Fig. 5-2NOTE: The left linkage controls the left hydraulicpump and the right linkage controls the right hydraulicpump.Repeat for the opposite side if necessary.
5. If wheel(s) are rotating in reverse then loosen the jamnuts on the pump linkage rods and rotate the rod toshorten the steering control linkage until the wheel(s)come to a stop. Fig. 5-2NOTE: The left linkage controls the left hydraulicpump and the right linkage controls the right hydraulicpump.Repeat for the opposite side if necessary.
6. When both wheels remain in neutral, tighten the jamnuts to lock the turnbuckle in place.
7. Test again by moving the control levers forward andbackward before returning them to the neutral position.If the tires are in neutral, the unit is now ready foroperation.
8. After adjusting for neutral it may be necessary to re-adjust the steering dampener and/or the control leverstop. Fig. 5-3 or Fig. 5-4
Control lever stopsThe control lever stops (Fig. 5-3) are designed to do two
things: First, and most important, they must keep the pumpsfrom bottoming out internally. Secondly, the stops may beadjusted to help drive straight when the control levers arepushed forward against the stops.
To keep the pumps from bottoming out internally use thefollowing procedure:
1. To make the first adjustment the tractor engine mustNOT be running.
2. Check to make sure the control levers are against thestops before the pumps are bottomed out internally.To do this, gently and slowly move the control leversforward and feel if there is some resistance on thepump lever before the control levers hit the stops.Check one side at a time. If you sense that the pumparms are stopping the forward motion of the controlarms, loosen the jam nut on the adjustable stop of thecorresponding side and turn the stop (set screw) inwardto stop the control levers slightly before the pumpbottoms out. Lock in place when the adjustment iscorrect by re-tightening the jam nut.
3. Do this for each side.
To adjust the stops for driving straight when control leversare against the stops during operation:
1. Determine which drive tire is rotating too fast whenboth control levers are against the stops. Then stop thetractor and loosen the lock nut on the side which isrotating too fast and turn the stop (set screw) inward tostop the control lever sooner. Tighten the lock nut onthe stop and test again. Repeat this procedure untilunit drives straight.
NOTE: Since this is a hydrostatic drive, variables such
as temperature of oil, efficiency of pumps and motors, tirepressure etc. may effect the consistency of the ability to rely
on the stops to drive straight without the operator makingminor steering adjustments with the control arms.
Steering dampenerThis steering dampener (Fig. 5-4) is spring loaded to
return the control levers to the neutral position from thereverse position. This gives the operator a sense of neutralduring operation.
To set the steering dampeners in the correct operatingposition follow these steps:
1. Place the control lever in the neutral position.2. Loosen the steering dampener’s front ball stud.3. Pull the dampener spring housing pass the point that
the internal spring is engaged. 4. Release the dampener spring housing and allow the
internal spring to bring the housing back to the neutralposition.

Control lever adjustmentThe control levers can be adjusted for operator comfort.
By loosening the cap screws that attaches the upper controllever to the lower lever (Fig. 5-5), the upper control levercan be pivoted to fit the operator’s personal preference.
The control levers should be adjusted so that they alignwith each other when in the neutral position.
Park brake adjustmentOccasionally check the park brakes and adjustment using
the following method:1. Position the control levers in the neutral position.
Disengage the deck clutch.
WARNING: Make certain machine is securewhen it is raised and placed on the jack stands.The jack stands should not allow the machine tomove when the engine is running and the drivewheels are rotating. Use only certified jackstands.
NOTE: The front brake link is not adjustable. Fig. 5-62. Raise and block the tractor up so the drive wheels are
off of the floor.3. Open the hydraulic pump’s bypass valve (Fig. 5-7), on
the side that is being adjusted, by turning bypass valvecounter clockwise one-half to one revolution. Thevalve stems on each hydraulic pump are located nearthe top and are identified as a hex stud.
4. Rotate the tire. The tire should rotate. Rememberhydraulic oil resistance will prevent the tire fromrotating freely even with the bypass valves open.There should be no resistance from the brakes at thispoint.
5. Move the control lever to where it is just inside (1/8”)the park brake slot. Fig. 5-8NOTE: When the control lever is against the outsideedge of the the slot, the brakes should not be engaged.Fig. 5-9
6. Rotate the tire. If the brake is adjusted properly thetire will still rotate but friction will start to becomenoticeable here. However, if no brake resistance is
noticed, the brake needs adjusted as follows:7. Loosen the brake linkage jam nuts. Fig. 5-108. Rotate the tire and at the same time rotate the
turnbuckle to shorten the length of the brake linkage toincrease the brake pressure. When you feel the brakebegin to engage, stop adjusting the turnbuckle. Re-tighten the jam nuts on the turnbuckle.
9. Place the control lever in the park brake slot (Fig. 5-11). The tire should not rotate when the control leveris in the park brake position.
10. Place the control lever in the neutral position. The tireshould rotate freely.
11. Close the hydraulic pump’s bypass valve.12. Repeat steps 3 thru 11 for the other side.13. Remove the jack stands and lower the unit. It is now
ready to operate.
Hydraulic pump belt adjustmentThe pump drive belt tension remains constant by means of
a tension idler and spring (Fig. 5-12). There is no tensionadjustment of this belt. NOTE: Replace the belt every 400

hours or every two (2) years whichever comes first.
WARNING: If the pump belt fails, loss ofcontrol will occur especially when operating on aslope. If you lose steering control whileoperating the machine, place the steeringcontrol levers in the park brake positionimmediately. Inspect the machine and involveyour Hustler dealer to resolve the problembefore continuing to operate.
Deck drive belt adjustmentThe spindle belt tension remains constant by means of a
tension idler and spring (Fig. 5-13). The spring tensionshould be such that the belt does not slip under normaloperating load conditions, assuming the belt is notexcessively worn or damaged. As belt stretches and wearsin, adjustment may become necessary. To increase belttension, move the spring chain one (or more) link(s) at theanchor bracket (Fig. 5-13). Installed spring length should be7.75" ± .3" (19.7 cm ± .76 cm) originally with adjustmentsof .60" (15.2mm) per chain link. (Fig. 5-14)
IMPORTANT: Do not over tension the spring tocompensate for a badly worn belt or pulley.
Engine RPM settingThe Mini Z and Super Mini Z are designed so that the
engine will run at 3600 rpm static pump load only. At thisspeed the hydraulic pumps are running at their maximumrated speed.
Deck leveling and height adjustmentThe mower deck has three areas that may need to be
checked and adjusted periodically. Before considering anymower deck leveling adjustments, check that the tire airpressure is within the specified range. Deck level adjustments
Leveling the deck must be done in the following manner302638 Rev 1/055-4

Deck cutting height adjustmentDeck height is adjustable from 1-1/2” to 4-1/2” (3.81 cm
- 11.43 cm) in 1/4” increments. The holes in the heightadjusting bar are spaced at 1/2” intervals. By turning theheight adjusting stop around, 1/4” increments can beattained due to the 1/4” plate that is part of the stop. Fig. 5-22
EXAMPLE: When the height adjusting stop is placed inthe 1-1/2” hole, with the 1/4” plate facing to the front ofthe unit, the cutting height is at 1-1/2”. When the heightadjusting stop is placed in the 1-1/2” hole, with the 1/4”plate on the operator’s side of the hole, the cutting heightis at 1-3/4”.
When the height adjusting stop is placed in one of theholes, with the 1/4” plate on the operator’s side of the hole,the deck height will be set at one of the following: 1-3/4”, 2-1/4”, 2-3/4”, 3-1/4”, 3-3/4” or 4-1/4”.

When the height adjusting stop is placed in one of theholes, with the 1/4” plate facing to the front of the unit, thedeck height will be set at one of the following: 1-1/2”, 2”, 2-1/2”, 3”, 3-1/2”, 4” or 4-1/2”.
The notch located at the rear of the right height adjustingbar (4-1/2” height) is to be used when the deck is placed inthe transport mode.
Anti-scalp wheelsAnti-scalp wheel kits are standard on the Mini Z. These
anti-scalp wheels are designed to minimize scalping whenmowing on rough uneven terrain.
After setting the cutting height, adjust the front anti-scalpwheels so they extend below the deck but do not contactthe ground. They should always be at least 1/4” to 3/4” (.6cm to 1.9 cm) below the deck. With the unit sitting on a flatlevel surface, the front wheel position can be adjusted up ordown as needed from 3/4” to 1-3/4” (1.9 cm to 9.5 cm)below the blade surface. Move the front wheels up or down,in 1/2” (1.3 cm) increments, using the different axle mountholes in the wheel mount bracket. Fig. 5-23
When adjusting the rear anti-scalp wheels, the wheelshould be in the lower axle mount hole when the front anti-scalp wheels are in the lower or middle axle mount holes.When the front wheels are in the upper axle mount hole, therear wheels should be in the upper axle mount hole as well.
NOTE: When the anti-scalp wheels are installed, theminimum cutting height is 1” (2.5 cm) with the anti-scalpwheels set at 3/4”.

1. Remove all grass, dirt, and trash from tractor andmower. Clean tractor and mower and touch up allscrapes with Hustler spray paint.
2. Clean paper air filter. Replace if necessary. Wash andre-oil foam precleaner.
3. Check thoroughly for any worn or damaged parts thatneed replacing and order them from your dealer.
4. Thoroughly lubricate machine, according tolubrication instructions.
5. Check hydraulic oil level. Add oil if necessary.Change oil and filter if not done in last 500 hours.Lubrizol additive is required. Refer to Maintenancesection.
6. Block tractor up so weight is off tires.NOTE: Do not deflate tires.
7. Protect battery from freezing temperatures.Occasionally recharging battery during storage willextend battery life.
8. Perform separate engine preparation as listed below.9. Store tractor in a clean, dry place.
Preparation of engine for storageWhen engine is to be unused for long periods, proceed as
follows:1. Run engine for a minimum of 15 minutes.2. Drain oil from crankcase while engine is still warm.3. Refill with fresh oil of proper viscosity.4. Drain fuel tank and run the engine until it stops from
lack of fuel. Gasoline evaporates if left in carburetorfor long periods, forming gum and varnish deposits incarburetor. These deposits will cause engine floodingand loss of power.
5. Remove and replace fuel filter if not done in previous100 hours.
6. Remove spark plugs and pour a tablespoon of engineoil into each spark plug hole, Install plugs, but do notreconnect plug leads.
7. Crank engine with starter at least a dozen revolutionsto distribute oil over cylinder walls and valvemechanism.
8. Clean exterior surface of engine. Spread a light filmof oil over any exposed metal surfaces of engine thatare subject to corrosion.
9. Clean dirt and chaff from cylinders and fins, blowerhousing and muffler.
10. Check oil filler cap and fuel tank cap to make certainthey are securely in place.
Preparation of battery for storageWhen the machine is to be unused for long periods, it is
best to disconnect the battery and remove it from the unit.At this time perform the following battery maintenance:
1. Clean battery2. Check the electrolyte level3. Charge the battery, if necessary4. Store battery in a cool, dry place (do not expose to
freezing temperatures)5. Always keep the battery fully charged. (Especially
important to prevent battery damage when thetemperature is below 32F.)
New season preparationBefore starting the tractor following post season storage,
the following servicing is required:1. Clean tractor, removing trash and dirt accumulation.2. Check engine oil and hydraulic oil levels.3. Fill fuel tank with fresh gasoline. Run machine at half
speed for 5 minutes, checking operation of steeringcontrol lever. Stop engine and check for oil leaks,loose fittings and so forth.
4. Tighten any bolts that have loosened and make sure allhair pins, cotter pins and clevis pins are in place.
5. Install all safety shields and review safety precautionslisted in this manual.
