When the chains are placed in the top hole of the deck chain brackets
and the height adjusting stop is placed in the front height adjusting bar hole,
with the 1/4” (.64 CM) plate facing to the front of the unit, the cutting
height is at 1” (2.54 CM
). When the height adjusting stop is placed in the
same hole, with the 1/4” (.64
CM) plate on the operator’s side of the hole,
the cutting height is at 1-1/4” (3.18 CM).
The middle hole is used for cutting heights of 2” - 6” (5.08
CM -
15.24
CM). The following information is to ascertain what to set the cutting
height at when the middle hole is used.
When the chains are placed in the middle hole of the deck chain
brackets and the height adjusting stop is placed in the front height
adjusting bar hole, with the 1/4” (.64 CM) plate facing to the front of the
unit, the cutting height is at 2” (5.08
CM). When the height adjusting stop is
placed in the same hole, with the 1/4” (.64 CM) plate on the operator’s
side of the hole, the cutting height is at 2-1/4” (5.72
CM).
The lower hole is used for cutting heights of 3” - 7” (7.62 CM - 17.78
CM
). The following information is to ascertain what to set the cutting
height at when the lower hole is used.
When the chains are placed in the lower hole of the deck chain
brackets and the height adjusting stop is placed in the front height
adjusting bar hole, with the 1/4” (.64
CM) plate facing to the front of the
unit, the cutting height is at 3” (7.62 CM). When the height adjusting stop is
placed in the same hole, with the 1/4” (.64
CM) plate on the operator’s
side of the hole, the cutting height is at 3-1/4” (8.26
CM).
The notch located at the rear of the height adjusting bar is to be used
when the deck is placed in the transport mode.
Anti-scalp wheels
Anti-scalp wheel kits are standard on Hustler Mid Mount Z units.
These anti-scalp wheels are designed to minimize scalping when mowing
on rough uneven terrain.
After setting the cutting height, adjust the front anti-scalp wheels so they
extend below the deck but do not contact the ground. They should always
be at least 1/4” to 3/4” (6.35
MM to 19.05MM) below the deck. With the unit
sitting on a flat level surface, the front wheel position can be adjusted up or
down as needed from 3/4” to 1-3/4” (19.05
MM to 44.45MM) below the blade
surface. Move the front wheels up or down, in 1/2” (12.70
MM) increments,
using the different axle mount holes in the wheel mount bracket. Fig. 3-15
When adjusting the rear anti-scalp wheels, the wheel should be in the
lower axle mount hole when the front anti-scalp wheels are in the lower or
middle axle mount holes. When the front wheels are in the upper axle
mount hole, the rear wheels should be in the upper axle mount hole as well.
Hustler Mini Z/Super Mini Z
NOTE: When the anti-scalp wheels are installed, the minimum cutting
height is 1” (2.5
CM) with the anti-scalp wheels set at 3/4” (1.91CM).
Hustler Z/Super Z/Super Z Diesel/Hustler ATZ
NOTE: When the anti-scalp wheels are installed, the minimum cutting
height is 1” (2.5
CM) with the anti-scalp wheels set at 3/4” (1.91CM).
BAC-VAC
TM
Mounting
If a BAC-VAC™ is to be mounted to an Hustler ATZ tractor it will be
necessary to remove the following from the unit:
1. Drive wheel weights
2. Frame weights located between the drive wheels
3. The front and rear mount legs of the ROPS structure. The two post
ROPS structure will remain. Fig. 3-16
The weights included with the BAC-VAC™ will be used instead of the
Hustler ATZ tractor weights.
If a BAC-VAC™ is mounted to the Hustler ATZ it will be necessary to
remove the BAC-VAC™ and front wheel weights from the tractor and it
will be necessary to re-attach the drive wheel weights, frame weights and
the front and rear mount legs to the tractor before operating the unit on a
slope.
