Always wear adequate ear protection, such as earplugs, when operating this equipment as prolonged exposure to uncomfortable or loud noises can cause impairment or loss of hearing. Do not wear radios or music headphones while operating the machinery. Safe operation requires your full attention.

Never put hands or feet under any part of the machine while it is running.

Except when changing or checking belt, always keep belt covers on mower for safety as well as cleanliness.

Stop the engine before removing the grass catcher or unclogging the discharge chute. Never clear the discharge chute with the engine running. Turn off the engine and be sure the blades have stopped before cleaning. Use a stick to clear a plugged discharge area. Never use your hand!

Exercise caution when loading or unloading the machine onto a trailer or truck.

Always wear safety goggles or safety glasses with side shields when operating the mower.

Always wear adequate eye protection when servicing the battery, hydraulic system or when grinding mower blades and removing accumulated debris.

Use extra caution when handling gasoline and other fuels. They are flammable and vapors are explosive.

Never remove fuel cap or refuel tractor while engine is running; never refuel near an open flame or near devices which can create a spark. Refuel outdoors. Never refuel or drain the fuel from the machine indoors.

Never attempt to start engine when there is a strong odor of gasoline fumes present. Locate and correct cause.

Never run the engine in an enclosed area unless exhaust is vented to the outside. Exhaust gases contain carbon monoxide which is odorless and deadly poison.

Never attempt to make any adjustments or repairs to the tractor drive system, mower deck or any attachment while the tractor engine is running or deck clutch is engaged. Repairs or maintenance requiring engine power should be performed by trained personnel only.

Never work under the machine or attachment unless it is safely supported with jack stands. Make certain machine is secure when it is raised and placed on the jack stands. The jack stands should not allow the machine to move when the engine is running and the drive wheels are rotating. Use only certified jack stands. Use only appropriate jack stands, with a minimum weight rating of 2000 pounds to block the unit up. Use in pairs only. Follow the instructions supplied with the vehicle stands.

Before working on or under the deck, make certain engine cannot be accidentally started. Shut engine off and remove ignition switch key for maximum safety. Repairs or maintenance requiring engine power should be performed by trained personnel only.

Use a stick or similar instrument to clean under the mower making sure that no part of the body, especially arms and hands are under mower.

Exercise caution when working under the deck as the mower blades are extremely sharp. Wrap the blade(s) or wear gloves and use extra caution when servicing them.

Do not touch hot parts of machine.

Keep nuts and bolts tight, especially the blade attachment bolts. Keep equipment in good working condition. Never tamper with safety devices. Check their proper operation regularly.

Grass collection system components are subject to wear, damage and deterioration, which could expose moving parts or allow objects to be thrown. Frequently check components and replace with manufacturer’s recommended parts, when necessary.

Use only genuine Hustler replacement parts to ensure that original standards are maintained.

Using a ramp

Use extreme caution when loading and unloading a unit onto a truck or trailer with a ramp.

Use only a single, full width ramp; do not use individual ramps for each side of the unit. Having a full width ramp provides a surface for the tractor frame to contact if the unit starts to tip backwards. It also reduces the risk of a wheel going off and the machine tipping over.

Do not exceed a 15 degree angle between the ramp and the ground or between the ramp and the trailer or truck. When on a ramp avoid sudden acceleration.
