Hydraulic pump belt adjustment
The pump drive belt tension remains constant by means of a tension idler and spring "FIG. 57". There is
no tension adjustment of this belt.
NOTE: Replace the belt every 400 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.
