Electrical system

The electrical system is a 12 volt, negative ground. Recommended battery size is a garden tractor BCI group U1R with 225 or better cranking AMP rating. A maintenance-free battery is recommended. Otherwise, follow battery manufacturer’s maintenance, safety, storing and charging specifications.

Hustler Z Shibaura diesel units only - These models require a recommended battery size BCI group 45 with 480 or better cranking AMP rating.

WARNING: Battery posts, terminals, and related accessories contain lead and lead compounds, chemicals known to cause cancer and reproductive harm. Wash hands after handling.

WARNING: Charge batteries in an open well ventilated area, away from sparks and flames. Unplug charger before connecting or disconnecting from battery. Wear protective clothing and use insulated tools.

WARNING: Avoid skin contact with battery acid.

Always wear eye protection when checking the battery, acid can cause serious injury to skin and eyes. If contact occurs, flush area with clean water and call physician immediately. Acid will also damage clothing.

Do not allow open flame near the battery when charging. Hydrogen gas forms inside the battery. This gas is both toxic and flammable and may cause an explosion if exposed to flame. Always remove the 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 soap and water into the battery. Use soda mixed in water to clean corrosion off the terminals.

WARNING: Shorts caused by battery terminals or metal tools touching metal tractor components can cause sparks. Sparks can cause a battery gas explosion which will result in personal injury.

Prevent the battery terminals from touching any metal tractor parts when removing or installing the battery.

Do not allow metal tools to short between the battery terminals and metal tractor parts.

WARNING: Incorrect battery cable routing could cause damage to the tractor and battery cables. This can cause sparks which can cause a battery gas explosion which will result in personal 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).

NOTE: The Hustler Z Shibaura Diesel tractors have a 50 amp in- line fuse in the electrical system. This is the main fuse to protect the complete electrical system. It is located at the rear of the machine close to the battery. Fig. 4-1

this system; use only motor oil as specified. Remember, dirt is the primary enemy of any hydraulic system.

WARNING: Hydraulic oil escaping under pressure can penetrate skin. Hydraulic oil may cause infection in a minor cut or opening in the skin. If exposed to hydraulic fluid, see a doctor at once.

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 disconnecting 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.

Fluid level should be 1” (2.54CM) from top of reservoir. Use only SAE 10W40 SG, SF/CC, CD service motor oil.

Change hydraulic system filter element after first 50 hours of tractor operation, then replace filter and oil in reservoir every 500 hours thereafter. Fig. 4-2
