[. . . ] 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 hydraulic reservoir area; minute dust particle 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 in the full up position 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. Lubrication 1.
