When crossing a slope sideways, your mower
has the average amount of weight on the drive
wheels versus the front wheels, similar to level
ground. However, this angle leaves the least
weight on the higher side drive wheel, tending to
make it slip. This is the preferred angle for
mowing large areas of gentle slopes.
Recommendations for this angle:
• Sit back, as far as you can on the seat. This
adds weight to the rear drive wheels and will
allow you to mow more quickly across the
slope without sliding. If your mower is
equipped with the optional weight bar on the
front, the mower may not handle as well
crossing slopes as without the weight bar on
the front. Weight on the front of the mower
reduces the traction of the rear drive wheels
and can cause the mower to slide or nose
dive down hill. Use of the optional weight
bar is determined by the width of cut of the
mower and the operator’s weight. For 36”
cut mowers, operators over 175 pounds may
prefer the optional weight kit. For 52” cut
mowers, operators over 225 may prefer the
optional weight kit. Remember it is
recommended that operators weigh at least
120 pounds and not more than 300 pounds.
These are general guidelines only. The
mower function and comfort will vary
depending on mowing environment,
operator driving style and preference.
• To reduce the chances of “popping-a-wheelie”,
do not accelerate quickly.
Note: Excessively worn tire tread is dangerous.
Replace tire(s) with less than 3/32” of any tread
groove left. Use tires with the tread pattern
recommended by Wright Mfg., Inc. only. Keep the
tire pressure in the drive tires between 18 and 22
psi. Higher pressures will cause the tires to have
less traction which may prevent safe operation.
Fuel Safety
Handle gasoline with care – it is highly flammable.
Do not smoke while handling gasoline. Use an
approved gasoline container. Never remove the
fuel cap or add gasoline to a running or hot
engine or an engine that has not been allowed to
cool for several minutes after running. Never fill
the tank indoors and always clean up spilled gas.
NEVER store the equipment with gasoline in the
tank inside a building where fumes may reach an
open flame or spark. Allow the engine to cool
before storing in any enclosure.
WARNING
Hydraulic Safety
Keep body and hands away from pin holes or
fittings that eject hydraulic fluid under high
pressure. Use paper or cardboard and not hands
to search for leaks. Hydraulic fluid escaping
under high pressure may have sufficient force to
penetrate skin and cause serious injury. If foreign
fluid is injected into the skin, it must be surgically
removed within a few hours by a doctor familiar
with this form of injury or gangrene may result.
Seek medical attention immediately. Make sure
all hydraulic fluid connections are tight and all
hydraulic hoses and lines are in good condition
before starting your Wright mower. Hydraulic fluid
is under high pressure. If you need service on
your hydraulic system, please see your authorized
Wright dealer.
WARNING
Replacement Parts
Use of parts other than specified parts supplied by
Wright Manufacturing, Inc. may compromise the
safe use of the mower, are not recommended and
their use could void the warranty. Always check
with your Dealer or the Wright Mfg website for the
latest Illustrated Parts List for your equipment.
Wright is fully concerned with your safety.
Please read the above again and again until
you fully understand the methods to promote
the safest operation possible.
