Deck Clutch Operation
Before beginning operation, check to make sure the deck
clutch switch is engaging and disengaging the blades properly.
CZ
Make sure that the area around and under the deck
is clear and that there are no bystanders in the
immediate area before proceeding.
DA
To check the deck clutch switch:
1. Start the engine and engage the deck clutch.
DE
2. With the deck clutch switch up (clutch engaged) and
the engine running, listen to confirm that the mower
blades are rotating.
3. Now, push the deck clutch switch down (clutch
disengaged), and with the engine running, listen to
confirm that the blades have stopped rotating.
EN
4. If the mower blades continue to rotate with the deck
clutch switch
immediately and contact your Hustler
Follow these procedures to maximize clutch life.
1. Engage the clutch only when the throttle is set at
ES
approximately 2/3 throttle and there is no load on the
blades. After clutch engagement, advance the engine
throttle to full rpm.
Engaging the deck clutch at high engine rpm or when
under heavy load (in tall grass, for example) can cause
belts and/or electric clutch to slip, resulting in premature
FR
wear or possible damage.
2. Disengage the clutch only when the throttle is set at
less than 1/2 throttle.
Never disengage the clutch with the engine running at
high rpm. Setting the throttle to less than 1/2 throttle
IT
when disengaging the clutch will help extend clutch life.
Warranty will not be allowed for deck clutches that fail due
to improper engagement and disengagement practices.

Anti-scalp Wheels

Anti-scalp wheels are standard on the 48" deck. This wheel
is designed to minimize scalping when mowing on rough
uneven terrain. Figure 3-13
The anti-scalp wheel can be installed in two positions. With
the wheel mounted in the bottom hole, the wheel is located
50.8 mm below the mower blades. This setting is preferred
when mowing at cutting heights of 63.5 mm or higher.
When the wheel is mounted in the top hole, it is located
25.4 mm below the mower blades. This is the acceptable
setting for mowing at cutting heights of 38.1 mm or higher.
