Cushman Motor Works was founded in Lincoln, Nebraska, in 1901 by brothers Everett and Clinton Cushman, who began by building small gasoline engines. The company moved into motor scooters in the 1930s and produced compact vehicles for military use during the Second World War. After the war, Cushman's small utility vehicles found a huge market with municipalities, police departments, factories, airports, golf courses and the United States Postal Service.

Cushman is best known for the Truckster, a compact three- and four-wheel utility vehicle produced from the 1950s, together with specialised models such as the Mailster and police and industrial variants. These small vehicles proved ideal for jobs where a full-size truck was impractical, and the Cushman brand continues today as part of Textron Specialized Vehicles, building electric and gasoline utility vehicles for campus, golf, industrial and government use.

The workshop manuals on this page cover Cushman gasoline engines, electric motors and controllers, transmissions and drive axles, brakes, suspension, electrical systems and wiring diagrams, torque specifications, diagnostics and scheduled maintenance. Because many Cushman vehicles operate in fleets that depend on daily availability, accurate service information helps keep downtime to a minimum.

These manuals benefit fleet mechanics, facility and golf-course maintenance teams, independent small-engine workshops, and collectors restoring vintage Cushman scooters and Trucksters. Genuine factory documentation makes repairs safer and helps these hard-working little vehicles stay in service for decades. Regular service data also matters for the small gasoline engines and electric drives that power these machines day after day.
