Always wear safety goggles or safety glasses with side shields when operating the mower.
Always wear adequate eye protection when servicing the battery, hydraulic system or when grinding mower blades
and removing accumulated debris.
Use extra caution when handling gasoline and other fuels. They are flammable and vapors are explosive.
Never remove fuel cap or refuel tractor while engine is running; never refuel near an open flame or near devices
which can create a spark. Refuel outdoors. Never refuel or drain the fuel from the machine indoors.
Never attempt to start engine when there is a strong odor of gasoline fumes present. Locate and correct cause.
Never run the engine in an enclosed area unless exhaust is vented to the outside. Exhaust gases contain carbon
monoxide which is odorless and deadly poison.
Never attempt to make any adjustments or repairs to the tractor drive system, mower deck or any attachment while
the tractor engine is running or deck clutch is engaged. Repairs or maintenance requiring engine power should
be performed by trained personnel only.
Never work under the machine or attachment unless it is safely supported with jack stands. Make certain machine
is secure when it is raised and placed on the jack stands. The jack stands should not allow the machine to move
when the engine is running and the drive wheels are rotating. Use only certified jack stands. Use only
appropriate jack stands, with a minimum weight rating of 2000 pounds to block the unit up. Use in pairs only.
Follow the instructions supplied with the vehicle stands.
Before working on or under the deck, make certain engine cannot be accidentally started. Shut engine off and
remove ignition switch key for maximum safety. Repairs or maintenance requiring engine power should be
performed by trained personnel only.
Use a stick or similar instrument to clean under the mower making sure that no part of the body, especially arms
and hands are under mower.
Exercise caution when working under the deck as the mower blades are extremely sharp. Wrap the blade(s) or
wear gloves and use extra caution when servicing them.
Do not touch hot parts of machine.
Keep nuts and bolts tight, especially the blade attachment bolts. Keep equipment in good working condition.
Never tamper with safety devices. Check their proper operation regularly.
Grass collection system components are subject to wear, damage and deterioration, which could expose moving
parts or allow objects to be thrown. Frequently check components and replace with manufacturer’s
recommended parts, when necessary.
Use only genuine Hustler replacement parts to ensure that original standards are maintained.
Using a ramp
Use extreme caution when loading and unloading a unit onto a truck or trailer with a ramp.
Use only a single, full width ramp; do not use individual ramps for each side of the unit. Having a full width ramp
provides a surface for the tractor frame to contact if the unit starts to tip backwards. It also reduces the risk of a
wheel going off and the machine tipping over.
Do not exceed a 15 degree angle between the ramp and the ground or between the ramp and the trailer or truck.
When on a ramp avoid sudden acceleration.

lowing pages contain suggested maintenance information and schedules which the operator should follow on
a routine basis.
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 mainte-
nance service. Correcting the problem as quickly as possible is the best insurance.
Clear away heavy build-up of grease, oil and dirt, especially in the engine and under the seat platform
areas; minute dust particles are abrasive to close-tolerance engine and hydraulic assemblies.
Daily inspect mower for grass clippings and wire and string tangles. The underside of the mower deck will
collect a build-up of grass clippings and dirt, especially when grass is wet or has high moisture content. This
build-up will harden, restricting blade and air movement and will probably show a poorer quality of cutting.
Therefore, it should be removed routinely.
To do this, it will be necessary to raise and block the deck, using jack stands or blocks, in the full up posi-
tion and scrape the build-up from underneath.
Some repairs require the assistance of a trained service mechanic and should not be attempted by
unskilled personnel. Consult your Hustler service center when assistance is needed.
Torque values
WARNING: Particular attention must be given to tightening the drive wheel lug nuts and blade
spindle bolts. Failure to correctly torque these items may result in the loss of a wheel or blade,
which can cause serious damage or personal injury.
Torque values given below:
It is recommended that these be checked after the first 2 hours of operation, initially and every 50 hours
following removal for repair or replacement.
For all other torques refer to the torque call out chart located elsewhere in this manual.
For engine torque values, see engine owner’s manual.
Tires
It is important for level mowing that the tires have the same amount of air pressure. The recommended
pressures are:
Solid fill tires are not recommended for Hustler turf equipment. On any machine, with solid filled tires, the warranty claim will be
denied.
WARNING: Explosive separation of a tire and rim can cause serious injury or death. Do not
attempt to mount a tire without the proper equipment and experience to perform the task. Always
maintain the correct tire pressure and never over inflate. Never weld or heat a wheel and tire
assembly as an explosion may occur. Welding can weaken or deform a wheel. When inflating tires
stand to one side and not in front of or over the tire assembly. Check tires for low pressure,
blemishes, damaged rims, or missing lug bolts and nuts.
Lubrication
1. Grease the front wheel bearings per the Maintenance Schedule. Use SAE multi-purpose grease.
2. Grease the four deck lift pivots, located to the side of the operator’s footrest per the Maintenance
Schedule. Use SAE multi-purpose grease.

Mower blade maintenance
Use a 15/16" wrench to remove the 5/8" cap screw holding the blade to the spindle shaft from underneath.
Sharpen the blades on a grinder following pattern as shown (Fig. 9-15).Touch-up sharpening can be done
with a file.
Check the blades for balance following grinding. A commercial balancing tool is available through most
hardware supply stores, or balancing can be done by placing the blade on an inverted line punch or 5/8" bolt.
Blade should not lean or tilt. Spin the blade slowly, blade should not wobble. If blade is out of balance, true it
up before reinstalling.
Lay the blade on a flat surface and check for distortion (Fig. 9-16 and 9-17). Replace any distorted blade.
Do not re-use spindle bolts which have stripped, worn or undercut threads. Torque bolts on spindles to 118
foot-pounds (160.01Nm) when reinstalling blades.
IMPORTANT: The blade sail (curved part) must be pointing upward toward the inside of the deck to
ensure proper cutting.
WARNING: When mounting blades, rotate them after installation to ensure blade tips do not
touch each other or sides of the mower.
WARNING: Failure to correctly torque the bolt may result in the loss of the blade which can
cause serious injury.
WARNING: Mower blades are sharp and can cut. Wrap the blade(s) or wear gloves and use
extra caution when servicing them.

Adjustments
Introduction
Your FasTrak 36/42 was adjusted before it left the factory and was checked during pre delivery setup. How-
ever, after start-up and continued use, a certain amount of break-in wear will cause some adjustments to
change.
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 mainte-
nance service. Correcting the problem as quickly as possible is the best insurance.
Clear away heavy build-up of grease, oil and dirt, especially in the engine and under the seat platform
areas; minute dust particle are abrasive to close-tolerance engine and hydraulic assemblies.
Some repairs require the assistance of a trained service mechanic and should not be attempted by
unskilled personnel. Consult your Hustler service center when assistance is needed.
Park Brake Adjustment
Occasionally check the park brake adjustment using the following method:
1. Shut engine off, place control levers in the park brake position, disengage deck clutch,
remove ignition switch key and disconnect negative battery cable before doing any
adjustments.
2. Raise and block the tractor up so the drive wheels are off of the floor.
WARNING: Never work under the machine or attachment unless it is safely supported with jack
stands. Make certain machine is secure when it is raised and placed on the jack stands. The jack
stands should not allow the machine to move when the engine is running and the drive wheels are
rotating. Use only certified jack stands. Use only appropriate jack stands, with a minimum
weight rating of2000 pounds to block the unit up. Use in pairs only. Follow the instructions
supplied with the vehicle stands.
3. Remove the drive tires.
4. Push the steering lever inward into the operating position, disengaging the brake.
Only adjust one side at a time.
5. Locate the brake lever arm and brake gear on the EZT transmission.When the
steering lever is in the operating position, the brake arm should have a minimum of
0.06" (1.52MM) and maximum of 0.125"(3.18MM) clearance between the teeth of the
brake lever arm and the outside diameter of the brake gear (FIG. 21).
6. If you find that the clearance is not to this specification, then adjust the position of the
brake lever arm by moving the lock nuts on the brake rod accordingly. When
adjusting the nuts, the spacing between the inside of the nuts needs to be maintained
at 7/8"(2.22CM) which has been set at the factory. The best way to keep this spacing
is to turn both nuts in the same direction the same number of turns (FIG. 22).
7. Loosen the jam nut on the brake rod and rotate the adjusting tube (FIG. 23) until the
dimensions shown in Fig. 9-18 can be attained.Re-tighten the locknut.
8. After adjustments are made and the proper clearance is restored, actuate and release
the brakes with the steering lever several times.Check to make sure the brake arm on
the EZT is engaging and fully disengaging the teeth of the brake gear.
9. Repeat this process for the opposite side if required.
10. Assemble the rear tires and re-torque the lug nuts to 65-75 ft.-lbs.(88.14-101.7 NM)
11. Raise the rear of the tractor and remove the jack stands. Lower the tractor.
Steering linkage adjustment
The neutral adjustment has been factory adjusted to eliminate creeping when the control levers are in the
neutral position. However, if the steering linkage should ever need adjustment due to the unit creeping
when the steering levers are in the neutral position or the EZT’s whining when the parking brakes are
engaged, take the unit to an Authorized Hustler Dealer for adjustment.
333559 09/08 9-21
WARNING: Only properly trained personnel should attempt to reset the neutral adjustment on
the FasTrak 36/42.This procedure requires that the engine be running and the drive wheels
rotating during adjustment.
WARNING: The adjustable steering rods are located near the EZT integrated pump/motor fans.
Make certain the engine is not running when adjusting the steering rods. The neutral adjustment
for the control levers in the neutral position is discussed in this section.
Control lever neutral adjustment
Before considering any adjustment, check the tire air pressure. Unequal tire pressure will cause the tractor
to drift to one side. Refer to tire pressure information in the Maintenance section of this manual.
NOTE: Proper park brake adjustment must be completed before the control
lever neutral adjustment can be done.
Fine adjustment to the unit’s steering is made with the adjustable pump linkage rods(FIG. 24).
Neutral is properly adjusted when the control levers are in the park brake position and the EZT transmis-
sions do not “whine” .
If this occurs, the control linkage may be adjusted as follows:
1. Raise and block the tractor frame keeping the rear drive tires free and clear of any
obstructions so they are free to rotate. The engine will be running and tires rotating
during this operation.
WARNING: Never work under the machine or attachment unless it is safely supported with jack
stands. Make certain machine is secure when it is raised and placed on the jack stands. The jack
stands should not allow the machine to move when the engine is running and the drive wheels are
rotating. Use only certified jack stands. Use only appropriate jack stands, with a minimum
weight rating of2000 pounds to block the unit up. Use in pairs only. Follow the instructions

2. Remove the seat pan locknut as shown in FIG. 4. Tilt the seat forward. Temporarily
bypass the seat switch.
3. Loosen the front dampener ball stud nut as shown in FIG. 24. The dampener will be
adjusted and tightened after neutral is reset.
4. Staying clear of the rear drive tires, start the engine. If the EZT transmissions whine,
then the neutral setting needs to be re-adjusted.In this operation you will need to
adjust one side at a time. If either side whines significantly, then the steering lever
needs to be pushed into the operating position, disengaging the brake. Most likely
when the brake is disengaged, the drive wheel will begin to rotate even though the
steering lever is in the neutral position.
5. Shut off the machine. Loosen the jam nuts on each end of the pump control rod as
shown in FIG. 24.
6. Start the engine. Move the steering lever to just engage the brake (neutral) slot and
hold it in that position (Do not engage the steering lever far enough to engage the
brakes in the brake slot).
WARNING: This operation is extremely dangerous. Pay close attention when adjusting
the pump control rod so you do not get your fingers, tools, or anything else close to the EZT pump
cooling fans.
7. While holding the steering lever position discussed in step 6,carefully adjust the pump
control rod until the rear wheel starts turning forward. Now turn the pump control rod in
the opposite direction until the moment when the wheel just stops turning forward.
Turn the control rod another 1/2 turn in this direction.Hold the pump rod in this position
and actuate the parking brake with steering lever. The EZT should not whine.
8. Hold the pump control rod still and turn off the engine.
9. Tighten the jam nuts on each end of the pump control rod.
NOTE: Do not let pump control rod turn while tightening the jam nuts.
10. Neutral is now set. Start the engine and actuate the brakes a few times to confirm that
the EZT does not whine when the park brake is set.
11. Repeat for the other side.
12. The steering dampener now needs to be adjusted and tightened.
13. Reconnect the seat switch and make sure the seat switch is operating properly per the
following procedure:
A. The operator must be on the seat when testing the seat switch.
B. Set both control levers in the park brake position.
C. Start the engine and allow it to warm up to operating temperature.
D. With the deck clutch switch down and the control levers in the park brake position, slowly raise off
of the seat. The engine should continue to run.
E. With the deck clutch switch up and/or the control levers in the neutral position, slowly raise off of
the seat. The engine should stop.
F. If the engine fails to stop when the deck clutch switch is up or one or both of the control levers are
not in the park brake position and the operator is off the seat, check the function of the seat switch.
If the seat switch is not operating properly (is not opening or closing) and if the cause can not be

determined, replace the seat switch. If the problem can not be located, contact your Hustler
Dealer.
WARNING: The safety interlock system should always function per steps 4 and 5. If it does not
function properly, it should be corrected immediately. Do not operate machine without properly
functioning seat safety switch.
WARNING: Do not operate machine without a properly functioning seat safety switch.
Steering dampener adjustment
The steering dampener is spring loaded to return the control levers to the neutral position from the reverse
position. This gives the operator a sense of neutral during operation.If the steering control lever does not
return to neutral from reverse then adjust as follows:
To set the steering dampeners in the correct operating position follow these steps:
1. Shut engine off, place control levers in the park brake position, disengage deck clutch,
remove ignition switch key and disconnect negative battery cable before doing any
adjustments.
2. If you have not already done so, loosen the front ball stud that is attached to the
forward dampener socket, FIG. 24.
3. When the ball stud is loosened, pull out on the ball stud end and release. The
dampener will return to the neutral position and come to rest. Re-tighten the front ball
stud.
4. Release the park brake and pull the steering lever to the reverse position and allow
the dampener to return the lever to the neutral position. If the steering lever does not
return to the neutral position (centered with the brake slot), then either you have not
adjusted the dampener correctly, or it is damaged and needs to be replaced.
5. Repeat for the opposite side.
Hydraulic pump belt adjustment
The pump drive belt tension remains constant by means of a tension idler and spring (FIG. 25). There is no
tension adjustment of this belt.
NOTE: Inspect the belt every 100 hours and replace as needed.Replace the
belt every 200 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.

Deck drive belt adjustment
The spindle belt tension remains constant by means of a tension idler and spring (FIG. 26). The spring ten-
sion should be such that the belt does not slip under normal operating load conditions, assuming the belt is
not excessively worn or damaged. As belt stretches and wears in, adjustment may become necessary. To
increase belt tension, move the spring chain one (or more) link(s) at the anchor bracket (FIG. 26). Installed
spring length should be 7.50" ± .3) originally with adjustments of .60" per chain link. (FIG. 27).
IMPORTANT: Do not over tension the spring to compensate for a badly worn belt or pulley.
Engine RPM setting
The FasTrak 36/42 is designed so that the engine will run at 3600 rpm (Kohler) or 3550 rpm (Honda) with
integrated pump/motor load only. At this speed the integrated pump/motors are running at their maximum
rated speed.
Deck leveling and height adjustment
The mower deck has three areas that may need to be checked and adjusted periodically. Before consider-
ing any mower deck leveling adjustments, check that the tire air pressure is within the specified range.
DECK LEVEL ADJUSTMENTS
Leveling the deck must be done in the following manner and order:
1. Check tire pressures to make certain they are properly inflated before starting to level
deck. The recommended pressures are as follows:
