Engine RPM setting

The Hustler Z is designed so that the engine will run at 3600 rpm static pump load only. At this speed the hydraulic pumps are running at their maximum rated speed.

Deck leveling and height adjustment

The mower deck has three areas that may need to be checked and adjusted periodically. Before considering any mower deck leveling adjustments, check that the tire air pressure is within the specified range.

Deck level adjustments

Leveling the deck must be done in the following manner and order:

1.Check tire pressures to make certain they are properly inflated before starting to level deck. The recommended pressures are as follows:

Drive wheels tire pressure	8 - 12 psi
Gauge wheels tire pressure	8 - 12 psi

WARNING: Stop engine. Make sure deck clutch switch is in the down (OFF) position. Place control levers in the brake position before leaving machine.

2.Park the unit on a flat surface.

3.Raise deck and place 3” block under the back of the deck and a 4” block under the front of the deck FIG. 31. This will set the cutting height at 3-1/2 ".

NOTE: Back of deck will automatically be set ¼" higher.
