Hustler Turf 928150, 928168, 928143 manual Hour Meter, Lubrication, Electrical System

Solid fill tires are not recommended for Hustler turf equipment. On any machine, with solid filled tires, the warranty claim will be denied.

WARNING: Explosive separation of a tire and rim can cause serious injury or death.

Do not attempt to mount a tire without the proper equipment and experience to perform the task. Always maintain the correct tire pressure and never over inflate.

Never weld or heat a wheel and tire assembly as an explosion may occur. Welding can weaken or deform a wheel.

When inflating tires, stand to one side and not in front of or over the tire assembly. Check tires for low pressure, blemishes, damaged rims or missing lug bolts and nuts.
