Return lever to its vertical position to disengage blades.
• The braking system is applied when the blades become disengaged. It is designed
to bring the blades to quick stop (approximately 7 seconds). Each TrailMower
brake system has been tested and calibrated. For safety, the consumer should not
alter the braking system.
STARTING THE ENGINE
See engine manufacturer’s recommendations for the type and amount of oil and fuel
used.
• Make sure the tow vehicle parking brake is set, mower is level, and blades are
disengaged. Engine must be level to accurately check and fill oil. Do not overfill.
• Check spark plug wire, oil, and fuel.
• Check all electrical connections for build-up of debris.
• Set engine idle to “CHOKE” position.
• Pull rope with a single fluid motion.
• Set engine idle at maximum RPM for best performance.
• Allow engine to run a few moments before engaging blades.
BREAKING IN YOUR MOWER
• Set the vehicle parking brake and chock the wheels to prevent accidental rolling.
• While the engine is running, slowly, engage blade control.
• In a safe environment, i.e. no children or pets, allow blades to rotate and engine to
idle for 5 minutes, breaking-in the belt for a longer life.
• Stop mower.
FRONT TO BACK ADJUSTMENT
For best cutting results, the mowing deck should be parallel to the ground. To check
parallel adjustment, measure the distance from the bottom edge of the deck in both the
front and rear of the deck. This adjustment is best done while the tow vehicle and
TrailMower are connected.
• Remove bolts and nuts from the “L” hitch (H1).
• Raise or lower hitch section to obtain proper front to back adjustment.
• Connect bolts and nuts in “L” hitch securely.
MOWER HEIGHT ADJUSTMENT
• There is approximately 3 inches of height adjustment.
• Rotate height adjust crank handle in a clockwise direction to lift the mower deck.
A counter-clockwise direction is used to lower the mower deck.
• Dense areas of grass should be cut twice.
• Push handle down to lock height position.
CAUTION: SHUT OFF THE MOWER ENGINE AND REMOVE SPARK
PLUG WIRE FROM SPARK PLUG BEFORE MAKING ANY
ADJUSTMENTS TO THE MOWER.
