WARNING
User Clothing:
DO NOT operate the mower while wearing sandals,
tennis shoes, sneakers, or shorts. Always wear long
non-baggy pants. Wear high-top leather work boots
with thick, textured tread, soft-rubber soled at all
times. Hard or smooth soled shoes are too slippery
for a good footing on mower platform. NEVER wear
loose-fitting clothing or jacket pockets that can get
caught to the handlebars or control levers of any
mower you drive. Wearing safety glasses, ear
protection and safety shoes is advisable and required
by some local ordinances and insurance regulations.
Inspection of Mower Before Each Use:
DO NOT use the mower if any parts are not
maintained in good operating condition. Examine the
moving parts prior to each use. Look for excessive
wear, bald or worn tires, cracks in parts, loose or
missing bolts, cotter, linchpin or “hair” pins or cable
yoke pins and replace before operating the mower.
Make sure all safety equipment provided with the
mower is in good operating order, including all the
warning decals and the required operator-presence
device which stops the engine and blades when the
foot-operated Operator Presence Control (OPC)
switch is released. (To test the OPC, follow
instructions in the Operating Instructions
section of
this manual.) Inspect the two anti-tip rollers and their
respective bolts at the rear of the mower for tightness
and proper operation. Be sure that all parts of the
hand-operated transmission control system are tight
and secure. This is to reduce the possibility that the
mower could have a loss of control or safety.
Scheduled Mower Maintenance Safety:
Replace worn tire(s) with less than 3/32” of any tread
groove left. Use tires with the tread pattern specified
by Wright Mfg., Inc. only. DO NOT change the engine
governor settings or over-rev the engine contrary to
engine manufacturer specifications. Keep the Wright
mower in good operating condition, and keep safety
devices and shields in place and in working condition.
Keep all nuts, bolts, and screws tight to be sure the
equipment is in safe working condition. Check the
blade mounting bolts for proper tightness every eight
(8) hours of operation. Check the blades for
excessive wear and sharpness every four to eight (4-
8) hours of operation. Replace excessively worn
blades. Sharpen dull blades. The mower should not
be used after the blades or other part of the mower
strikes a foreign object, until conducting a thorough
inspection and any damage is repaired. See the
instructions in the Recommended Maintenance
section of this manual for other items of required
maintenance.

Work Area Conditions and Inspection:
WARNING
Prior to operating the unit, carefully inspect all
lawn/ground areas where you plan to use the mower
for hidden, hard-to-see objects or uneven ground that
may be hidden in the grass. Clear the work area of
moveable objects such as wires, rocks, glass, etc. that
might be picked up by the mower and dangerously
thrown. Remove, if possible, or mark the location of
all immovable objects or irregular areas and be sure
not to hit them with any part of the mower, its deck or
the blades. Obstacles such as holes, abrupt changes
in ground contour, tree trunks, stumps or roots, pipes
protruding from the ground, paving edges, etc. in the
path of operation can abruptly turn or stop the mower.
This could throw you off the mower or into and
possibly over the handle bars causing serious injury or
death. The faster you are moving the more potential
there is for injury. Mow only in daylight or in good
artificial light. Keep away from drop-offs, the edges of
ponds, streams, pools, etc. especially at the bottom of
slopes. Do not mow when children or others are
around. When the Wright mower is in use, never
direct the grass discharge toward bystanders, traffic,
cars or buildings nor allow anyone near the machine
while in operation. Thrown objects can pass through
glass windows and some walls of buildings. There is
extreme risk of danger from thrown objects or being
cut by the blades of the mower or being run over if
you lose control. Never operate the mower in an
enclosed area without good, approved ventilation.
Exhaust fumes are dangerous.
WARNING
Initial Operating Safety Guidelines:
• Read and understand the warnings on the
instrument panel of the mower.
• Keep a firm hold on the stationary handle at all
times.
• Keep both feet on the foot platform at all times.
