Operation
General Operation Information
To operate the vehicle without accident or injury, the opera-
tor should understand how the vehicle will react in any situa-
tion, especially during conditions that could cause the
vehicle to overturn. Vehicle speed, cargo load, towed vehicle,
and environmental conditions play a major part in most vehi-
cle overturn incidents.
This operator’s manual sets forth some of the risks, but the
list is not all inclusive. It is the operator's responsibility to be
alert for any equipment or environmental condition that
could compromise low risk operation.
For more detailed safety information refer to the Safety Pre-
cautions section of this manual.
This vehicle is designed to carry up to two people, includ-
ing the driver, at one time. All occupants must ride in the des-
ignated seating positions and use the seat belts properly.
Only individuals age 16 and older are authorized to ride or
operate this vehicle.
Engine Starting
Start the engine by following these steps. If you encounter
difficulty, contact your Hustler
®
Dealer.
1. Before starting the engine the operator should be
seated in the driver position. Secure the door properly
(if equipped).
2. Move the park brake lever to the down position (park
brake is engaged).
3. Place the gear select lever in the “NEUTRAL” position.
4. Insert the key in the ignition switch and rotate it to the
“PRE-HEAT/RUN” position. It will take approximately
two seconds before the glo-plug light will come on.
Wait for the glo-plug light to go off.
Preheating is necessary only when the temperature is
cool or cold. This operation is not necessary when
restarting a warm engine. Standard preheating times
for various temperatures are shown in the chart below.
Failure to follow these recommendations can lead to
premature failure of the starter motor and the fuel shut-
off solenoid.
IMPORTANT: Ether, or other starting fluids, must never
be used as a starting aid with this engine. Warranty

Always perform the pre-operation check before oper-
ating to make sure the vehicle is in proper operating
condition.
To avoid serious injury, check and service the vehi-
cle:
• on a level surface with engine off.
• with the parking brake engaged.
• with attachments lowered to the ground.
