hours or every two (2) years whichever comes first.
WARNING: If the pump belt fails, loss of
control will occur especially when operating on a
slope. If you lose steering control while
operating the machine, place the steering
control levers in the park brake position
immediately. Inspect the machine and involve
your Hustler dealer to resolve the problem
before continuing to operate.
Deck drive belt adjustment
The spindle belt tension remains constant by means of a
tension idler and spring (Fig. 5-13). The spring tension
should be such that the belt does not slip under normal
operating load conditions, assuming the belt is not
excessively worn or damaged. As belt stretches and wears
in, adjustment may become necessary. To increase belt
tension, move the spring chain one (or more) link(s) at the
anchor bracket (Fig. 5-13). Installed spring length should be
7.75" ± .3" (19.7 cm ± .76 cm) originally with adjustments
of .60" (15.2mm) per chain link. (Fig. 5-14)
IMPORTANT: Do not over tension the spring to
compensate for a badly worn belt or pulley.
Engine RPM setting
The Mini Z and Super Mini Z are 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
