When you see this symbol, carefully read the message that follows and be alert to the possibility of personal injury. Read this manual completely. This machine can amputate hands, feet, and throw objects. Failure to observe the following safety instructions could result in serious injury or death. • Read the manual. Learn to operate this machine safely. • Always disconnect the spark plug wire and place the wire where it cannot contact the spark plug, to prevent accidental starting the engine when setting up, transporting, adjusting or making repairs. • Keep all shields and guards in place. • Understand the speed, steering and stability of this machine. Know the positions and operations of all controls before you operate this machine. Check all of the controls in a safe area before starting to work with this machine. • Allow only responsible adults who are familiar with these instructions to operate this machine. Never allow children to operate this machine. • Clear the area of objects such as rocks, toys, wire, etc. that can be picked up and thrown by the blade. • Be sure the area is clear of other people before mowing. Be aware of the mower discharge direction and do not point at anyone. Stop the machine if anyone enters the mowing area. Children are often attracted to the machine and the mowing activity. Never assume that children will remain where you last saw them. Keep children under the watchful care of another responsible adult. • No riders! • Do not put hands or feet near or under rotating parts. Keep clear of the discharge opening at all times. • Do not mow in reverse. Always look down and behind before and while backing. 2 • Turn off the blades when not mowing. Before leaving the machine, turn off the blades and stop the engine. • Watch for traffic when operating near or crossing roadways. • Do not operate the mower if it has been dropped or damaged in any manner or if the mower vibrates excessively. Excessive vibration is an indication of damage. Repair mower as necessary. • Dress properly. Do not operate the mower when barefoot or wearing open sandals. Wear only solid shoes with good traction when mowing. • Do not operate the machine while under the influence of alcohol or drugs. • Operate self-propelled machines up and down slopes. There is significant risk of overturns when operating across slopes. Operate walk-behind machines across slopes. There is a significant risk of slipping under a walk-behind machine when operating up and down slopes. • Never tamper with safety devices. Check their proper operation regularly. • Stop and inspect the equipment if you strike an object. Repair, if necessary, before restarting. • Never make adjustments or repairs with the engine running. • Mower blades are sharp and can cut. Wrap the blades or wear gloves, and use extra caution when servicing them. 3 MOWER MAINTENANCE GENERAL RECOMMENDATIONS The warranty on this trailmower does not cover items that have been subjected to operator abuse or negligence. To receive full value from the warranty, operator must maintain unit as instructed in this manual. Some adjustments will need to be made periodically to maintain your unit properly. All adjustments in this manual should be checked at least once each season. BEFORE EACH USE • Check engine oil level on a level surface. (Check twice to insure an accurate reading.) • Check condition of air filter; clean and replace as necessary. • Check blade operation; keep blades in good condition. • Check for loose fasteners and tighten them as needed. AFTER EACH USE • Keep blades sharp. • Remove fresh grass clippings with garden hose. • Hardened grass clippings on underside should be scraped out with a putty knife. • Keep fluids at proper levels. • Cover unit to prevent rain or other debris build-up. Definitely cover the engine. BEFORE AND/OR AFTER EACH SEASON • Replace the spark plug. • Clean or replace the air filter. • A new spark plug and clean air filter assure proper air-fuel mixture and help your engine run better and last longer. • Check blades and belts for wear. Replace as necessary. STORAGE RECOMMENDATIONS CAUTION! Do not store engine indoors or other poorly ventilated area. Keep engine away from gas appliances where fumes could contact open flame, pilot lights, or sparks. If engine is to be stored for 30 or more days, prepare unit as follows: • Drain fuel outside into an approved container. • Start engine properly and run until unit is out of fuel. • Let engine cool. • Remove remaining gasoline from carburetor and fuel tank to prevent gum deposits from forming within the engine. Gum deposits can cause malfunction in the engine. • Store mower with blades disengaged to prevent belts from being permanently stretched. BLADE CARE AND SERVICE For best results cutter blades must be kept sharp. The blades can be sharpened with a few strokes of a file or grinding wheel. Do not attempt to sharpen blades while they are on the cutter. Disconnect spark plug wire before servicing unit. Important: Replace blades that have been damaged or deeply nicked. Important: Check blade and spindle hardware on a regular basis to make sure nuts are tight. Only a qualified mechanic should be used for any adjustments, disassembly or other kind of repairs. 4 LIMITED WARRANTY The manufacturer’s warranty to the original consumer purchaser is: This product is free from defects in materials and workmanship for a period of one (1) year from the date of purchase by the original consumer purchaser.

Always wear certified safety glasses or wide-vision safety goggles over spectacles before starting any cu tting machine and while operating such a machine. The operation of any cutter produces sound waves that are damaging to the human ear. Ear protection is recommended. CAUTION! Tragic accidents can occur if the operator is not alert to the presence of children. Children are often attracted to the machine and the mowing activity. Never assume that children will remain where you last saw them. INTENDED USE This trail mower is designed to produce a quality finish cut on lawns, golf courses, etc. It is not designed to clear brush or cut saplings. Your mower be should pushed in front of or be towed behind an ATV, a golf cart, lawn tractor, or another similar approved vehicle. It is not meant for speeds exceeding 5 MPH. Your mower should be kept clean and worn parts replaced promptly and properly. WARNING: To avoid serious injury, operate your mower up and down the face of slopes, NEVER across the face. DO NOT MOW SLOPES GREATER THAN 15 DEGREES! FRONT MOUNTING MOWER TO VEHICLE • Securely attach Front Mount Kit to tow vehicle. • Park vehicle at rear of mower. • Position Caster Locks (9) so the notch faces the sky, if not already done. All wheels and casters should be able to rotate freely 360 degrees. (See Figure 1) • Using L- pins and clips supplied with Front Mount Kit, attach mower to vehicle. • Fix console assembly securely to vehicle using enclosed Velcro strips with adhesive. • Fix wire harness tubing to hitches using Velcro straps. • See Front Mount Kit Owner’s Manual for its Service Parts. TRAIL MOUNTING MOWER TO VEHICLE • Back vehicle up to front of mower. • Attach Swivel Hitch to tow vehicle. • Attach tongue to vehicle via the Swivel Hitch using a Hitch Pin. • Re-position Caster Locks (9) so that the notched area “locks” over the Caster (2). (See Figure 1) • Fix console assembly to vehicle using enclosed Velcro strips. • Store Trail Mounting hitches separately when not in use. 6 STARTING THE ENGINE • See engine manufacturer’s instructions for the type and amount of oil and fuel used. Engine must be level to accurately check and fill oil. Do not overfill. • Park vehicle and mower on a level surface, set the vehicle parking brake, and disengage blades. • Check spark plug wire, oil, and fuel. • Check all electrical connections. • Make certain console assembly is secured to vehicle. • Set engine throttle control to the “CHOKE” position. • Turn key switch to the “START” position • Set engine throttle at desired RPM. STOPPING THE ENGINE • Turn key switch to the “OFF” position. BREAKING IN YOUR MOWER • Set vehicle parking brake or chock wheels to prevent accidental rolling. • Start engine. • Engage blade toggle switch. • In a safely monitored environment, i.e. no children, allow blades to rotate and engine to idle for 5 minutes. This breaks in the belts and the engine. • Stop mower. CAUTION! SHUT OFF MOWER ENGINE AND REMOVE SPARK PLUG WIRE FROM SPARK PLUG BEFORE MAKING ANY ADJUSTMENTS TO THE MOWER. MOWER HEIGHT ADJUSTMENT • Never make any adjustments while mower is running. • The cutting range is approximately 1.5” to 4.5”. The height has been measured from the ground to the blade tip without the engine running. • Rotate height adjust crank handles (18, Fig1) in a clockwise direction to lift the mower deck. A counter-clockwise direction is used to lower the mower deck. • Make sure the height adjustment is the same at side crank handles. For best results, see “SUGGESTED MOWING PRACTICE” section. Graduated scales are for reference only, not the actual cutter height. • Place crank handle in a retracted position to maintain height adjustment. START MOWING • Clear mowing area of debris. • Check vehicle to mower connection. • Start mower engine. • Engage clutch lever. • Begin mowing slowly. 7 STOP MOWING • Bring vehicle to a full stop. • Disengage clutch lever by moving lever to center position. • Turn key switch to “OFF” position. TRANSPORTING MOWER • Never transport unit with engine running. • If transporting unattached from tow vehicle, remove spark plug wire and place it where contact with the spark plug cannot be made. SUGGESTED MOWING PRACTICES • Operate mower engine at full throttle to assure the best cutting performance and maximum material discharge. • Allow wet grass to dry. Clumps of wet grass will collect under the mowing deck. • Mowing should be started with tow vehicle in low gear and increased only as safe mowing conditions permit. This speed should not exceed 5 MPH. • The average lawn should be cut to approximately 2.5” during the cool season and to over 3” during the hot months. • For a healthier lawn and better aesthetics, your lawn should be mowed often and after moderate growth. • When cutting high or dense grass areas go slowly. Some areas may need to be cut twice. The second cut should be at 90 degrees to the first, if possible. • Never remove more than 1/3 of the grass length at any one time GENERAL TROUBLE SHOOTING • The mower does not cut level. o Level deck, making sure height adjustments are equal. o Check air pressure of all tires; make sure they are equal (about 25-30 psi). o Check blade attachment. • The engine will not start. o Disengage blades, turn toggle switch to “OFF” position, check all electrical connections, and inspect spark plug and wire. • Engine runs poorly. o See engine manual. o Check throttle adjuster. o Replace fuel, clean fuel filter and fuel line. IF PROBLEMS PERSIST HAVE A QUALIFIED MECHANIC SERVICE THE MOWER. NEVER ATTEMPT TO MAKE AN ADJUSTMENT THAT YOU ARE NOT SURE IS CORRECT. DOING SO CAN CAUSE OTHER PROBLEMS. 8 SAFETY AND OPERATIONAL DECALS Replace decal immediately if damaged. Order by part number from Swisher Mower and Machine Co. Inc.
