WARNING: Sparks can cause a battery gas explosion
which will result in serious personal injury.
Prevent the battery terminals from touching any metal
mower parts when removing or installing the battery.
Do not allow metal tools to short between the battery
terminals and metal mower parts. Use insulated tools.
Always keep protective battery cover and rear cover
in place.

with battery fluid.
External contact: flush with water.
Eyes: Flush with water for at least 15 minutes and get
medical attention immediately.
Internal contact: Drink large quantities of water. Fol-
low with Milk of Magnesia, beaten egg or vegetable
oil. Get medical attention immediately.
In case of internal contact, DO NOT induce vomiting
WARNING: Incorrect battery cable routing could
cause damage to the mower and battery cables. This
can cause sparks which can cause a battery gas explo-
sion which will result in serious personal injury.
Always disconnect the negative (black) battery
cable(s) before disconnecting the positive (red)
cable(s).
Always connect the positive (red) battery cable(s)

Battery Maintenance
Your Hustler
®
Zeon is powered by four lead acid batteries
which, when maintained properly, will provide years of useful
life. For proper care, adhere to the following instructions:
1. Always charge batteries after each use, regardless of how
little used. Batteries must be attached to a plugged in
battery charger with the charger power switch ON when
the unit is not being used.
WARNING: Charge only with a Hustler approved
charger. Do not use battery chargers other than those
recommended by Hustler Turf Equipment. Incorrect
battery charging will void warranty and can lead to
equipment damage, serious injury or death.
2. Check that battery cables are securely tightened to
batteries each time you service the battery.
3. Keep grass, dirt and debris from collecting near battery
terminals.
4. Batteries are not to remain in a discharged state or
damage to the batteries will occur. Lead sulfate deposits
will form inside the batteries affecting charging and
operation.
5. A discharged battery can freeze if left in conditions under
32 degree F (0 degrees C).
6. Charge batteries indoors in a well ventilated and dry
location away from sparks or flames. Never expose
charger to rain, vapor or liquid (dry location use only).
7. Charge only lead acid type rechargeable batteries
provided with Zeon™.
8. Do not touch uninsulated portion of charger (terminal
pins) of output connector.
9. Do not use with defective cords and wires. Replace
defective cords and wires immediately.
IMPORTANT: Batteries must be attached to a plugged in
battery charger with the charger power switch ON when the unit
is not being used. Failure to keep batteries fully charged will
reduce battery life and void battery warranty.
Battery Charging
1. Remove the dust cap from the battery charging port on
the mower and plug charger into the port. Fig. 5-2
NOTE: Plug will only fit one way into the port. Make
sure it is properly aligned before inserting.
2. Plug other end of charger into 110-120 volt household
GFCI protected outlet that is rated at 15 amps or higher.
3. Turn charger switch to the ON position. The cooling fan
may or may not engage depending on battery charge
level.
4. Allow 16 hours for a full battery charge. The green light
indicates batteries are Fully Charged. Leaving batteries
on charger longer than 16 hours does not harm the
batteries. The charger will not overcharge batteries.
