Maintenance & Adjustment Safety This safety alert symbol is used to call attention to a message intended to provide a reasonable degree of PERSONAL SAFETY for operators and other persons during the normal operation and servicing of this equipment. DANGER – denotes immediate hazards which WILL result in severe personal injury or death. WARNING - denotes a hazard or unsafe practice which COULD result in severe personal injury or death. This manual uses two other words to highlight information.
Always wear adequate ear protection, such as earplugs, when operating this equipment as prolonged exposure to uncomfortable or loud noises can cause impairment or loss of hearing. Do not wear radios or music headphones while operating the machinery. Safe operation requires your full attention. Never put hands or feet under any part of the machine while it is running. Except when changing or checking belt, always keep belt covers on mower for safety as well as cleanliness.
Children Tragic accidents can occur if the operator is not alert to the presence of children. Children are often attracted to the machine and the mowing activity. Never assume that children will remain where you last saw them. Never leave machine unattended with ignition key in switch, especially with children present. Children or bystanders may be injured if they move or attempt to operate the tractor while it is unattended.
Safety and Instruction Decals Specific safety warning decals are located on the equipment near the immediate areas of potential hazards. These decals should not be removed or obliterated. Replace them if they become non-readable. The following illustrations show the various safety decals that are located on the machine. A brief explanation is shown to help the operator understand the meanings of these decals. Read Owner’s Manual and Quick Reference Decal before attempting to operate this machine.
Whirling blades! Keep hands and feet away. Beware of thrown objects. Never operate the mower deck with side deflector damaged, altered, removed or in raised position, except when the entire grass catcher attachment or mulching system is being used. Stay clear of mower blades as long as engine is running. Beware of thrown object. Part Number 794297 Keep shields or covers in place while machine is in operation.

Remain alert for unusual noises, they could be signaling a problem. visually inspect the machine for any abnormal wear or damage. A good time to detect potential problems is while performing scheduled maintenance service. Correcting the problem as quickly as possible is the best insurance.
The electrical system is a 12 volt, negative ground. Recommended battery size is a garden tractor BCI group UIR with 225 or better cranking AMP rating. A maintenance-free battery is recommended. Otherwise, follow battery manufacturer’s maintenance, safety, storing, and charging specification. The Battery is located under the seat platform (FIG. 2).
battery voltage. If the battery voltage is satisfactory, check the cleanliness and tightness of the terminals and ground connections. A general understanding of electrical servicing and use of basic test equipment is necessary for troubleshooting and repair. FUSES FIG. 3 Major overhaul or repair of the starting motor or charging system should be performed by trained technicians only. Access to integrated pump/motor units The integrated pump/motor units are accessed by lifting the seat platform.
The Hustler FasTrak is equipped with two Hydro-Gear EZT integrated pump/motor transmissions (FIG. 5). EZT INTEGRATED PUMP/MOTOR FIG. 5 The EZT integrated pump/motor transmission are sealed for life and do not require any scheduled service. The EZT integrated pump/motor transmissions are filled with 20W50 engine oil. If they ever become low on oil, fill to the level shown in FIG. 6. FIG. 6 Fuel system DANGER: Observe usual fuel handling precautions: Do not smoke while refueling.
WARNING: Gasoline is harmful or fatal if swallowed. Long-term exposure to vapors can cause serious injury and illness. Avoid prolonged breathing of vapors. Keep face away from nozzle and gas tank or fuel container opening. Keep gasoline away from eyes and skin. If fuel is spilled on clothing, change clothing immediately. The fuel tanks are located in the tractor’s fenders (FIG. 7). Total capacity for the fuel tanks is 6 U. S. gallons (22.71 L.). FUEL TANK FIG. 7 IMPORTANT: Do not overfill the fuel tanks.
INLET HOSE INLET HOSE FUEL FILTER FUEL FILTER FIG. 8 HONDA FIG. 9 KOHLER FUEL SHUT-OFF VALVE LEFT FUEL TANK POSITION RIGHT FUEL TANK POSITION CLOSED POSITION SHOWN FIG. 10 DRAINING THE FUEL TANKS FasTraks have a fuel shut-off valve (Hustler p/n 7480159) located behind the seat to the right side of the operator (FIG. 10). Close this valve (center position) to prevent fuel flow to the engine. The valve’s two other positions are front and rear.
Check engine oil daily and after every 4 hours of operation. Crankcase dipstick and oil filler tube ar located as shown in FIG. 11 & FIG. 12. Tractor must be setting level when checking oil. Refer to engine manual and maintenance schedule for oil recommendation and capacities. Change the engine oil and filter after the first 5 hours of operation, per the engine manufacturer’s recommendations after that.
Engine mounting bolts If the original engine mounting bolts are ever removed from the tractor, do not reuse. The original bolts are self-tapping and if they are re-used they may try to cut new treads into the engine block mounting holes. Replace with 3/8"-16 x 1.00 Grade 5 bolts. Apply Loc-Tite® 242 to the treads and torque to 30-35 ft.-lbs. Re-use thin int/ext tooth lockwashers that were factory installed with the original mounting bolts. Belt replacement FIG. 14 and FIG.
