Attach the oil drain hose, furnished with the unit, to the oil drain valve when draining the engine oil. Oil drain hose
must be removed after oil is drained. IMPORTANT: All oil drips or spills must be cleaned off of the exhaust system
before operating the machine. The oil drain and oil filter are located at the rear of the engine (FIG. 48, FIG. 49 &
FIG. 50).
Belt replacement
FIG. 51 and FIG. 53 show diagrams and descriptions of the unit’s belt drive systems.
Inspect these belts frequently for wear and serviceability. Replace a belt that shows signs of severe cuts, tears, sep-
aration, weather checking and cracking, or burns caused by slipping. Slight raveling of belt covering does not indicate
failure, trim ravelling with a sharp knife.
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.
Inspect the belt pulley grooves and flanges for wear. A new belt, or one in good condition, should never run against
the bottom of the groove. Replace the pulley when this is the case, otherwise belt will lose power and slip excessively.
Never pry a belt to get it on a pulley as this will cut or damage the fibers of the belt covering.
Keep oil and grease away from belts, and never use belt dressings. Any of these will destroy the belt composition in
a very short time.
