Hustler Turf Z XR7 manual Tires, Hour meter, Lubrication

Tires

It is important for level mowing that the tires have the same amount of air pressure. The recommended pressures are:

Drive wheels	8-12 psi (55-69 KPa)
Gauge wheels	8-12 psi (55-69 KPa)

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.

Hour meter

To recognize when your machine needs servicing, check the hour meter and the maintenance schedule. The hour meter shows the number of hours the engine has run, and the maintenance schedule lists the service intervals. FIG. 3.

Bearings are sealed and do not require much lubricant.
