Hello,

I have the 48" Flip up from Hustler. It now has quit flipping up. Both switches appear to be working fine. When I insert the pin it kills the deck from moving up and down as it should. the back lever switch I took out and did a continuity test on it and it appears to be functioning fine.

Does anyone have an idea I should try next?
Thanks,

Warranty is a great thing.

Thank you for your reply.
Unfortunately, I am out of warranty.
"Is deck lock pin in the service ( flip-up ) position?" If you mean...I pull the pin from its "hold" location and insert it in the lower slot with the ball switch. This kills the deck from moving
up or down. Which it should. Then I pull the lever in the back by the engine, which (dis)engages the other switch to allow the deck to flip up. As I mentioned before, I did a continuity
check on the switch to see if it was faulty. It checked out fine.

I was unable to view the documoto link. And unable to sign up for it. did not get that option.

I now discovered that my gas gauge does not work, but the hour meter does. Have not looked into this yet. Don't know if this can be related to the deck not flipping up.

Thanks for any input

How is the condition of the battery, Volts & Amps ?

Well last night I check to see if mower would flip up with the new battery and no go.
So far I know its not the battery, not the switches.
I can raise and lower the deck for cut heights just fine. Since I can raise and lower the cut height makes me
think it would be the switches. The front switch kills the deck from going up and down when you insert the pin.
I pull the lever in the back to trigger the rear switch then the flip up should happen. The front switch works as
it should. The rear switch checks out fine when I run continuity through it pressing and releasing the switch.
I would think the switch on the counsel works because I can still lower and raise the deck......

open to more suggestions
thanks for your time

I got '0' sorry..

Look through Hustler mowers above for information, let us know if it helps, thanks, Mark

No.....the gas gauge has nothing to do with the deck not flipping up.

The gas gauge not operating correctly is a problem all it's own (that is "IF' your gas gauge is the round glass type?).

Hopefully the following thread on the gas gauge failure will help?


Also I hope you get the problem solved with the deck not flipping up!

If so please post and share on how you were able to solve the problem....be specific!

Locate your Model # &
read through Operators Manual above, pages 3.4 - 3.5 regarding flip-up. Let us know if manual helps, thanks Mark

Hustler Raptor Flip Up Fuel Gauge

Thanks for your reply.
Yes, I know the flip-up has nothing to do with the gas gauge. I noticed that the gauge quit working while working on the flip-up problem, and I thought I would through that out there too.

Thank you for the forum post about the gas gauge. If/When I figure out the flip-up problem, I will, most definitely, post what I have found.
