Adjustment

Introduction

Your Hustler Z Diesel was adjusted before it left the factory and was checked during predelivery setup. However, after start-up and continued use, a certain amount of break-in wear will cause some adjustments to change.

Remain alert for unusual noises, they could be signaling a problem. Visually inspect the machine for any abnormal wear or damage. A good time to detect potential problems is while performing scheduled maintenance service. Cor- recting the problem as quickly as possible is the best insurance.

Clear away heavy build-up of grease, oil and dirt, especially in the area of reservoir and oil and engine combustion air; minute dust particle are abrasive to close-tolerance engine and hydraulic assemblies.

Some repairs require the assistance of a trained service mechanic and should not be attempted by unskilled person- nel. Consult your Hustler service center when assistance is needed.Seat adjustment

Before considering any adjustment, check the tire air pressure. Unequal tire pressure will cause the tractor to drift to one side. Refer to tire pressure information in the Maintenance section of this manual.

Fine adjustment to the unit’s steering is made with the adjustable pump linkage rods located between the control lever and pump arms. (FIG. 52).

Neutral is properly adjusted when the control levers are in the neutral position and the drive wheels are not turning.
