PRE-DELIVERY SERVICE OF MOWER BY DEALER
Before proceeding with the Pre-Delivery Service of your mower,
please read the safety instructions manual in its entirety. Only
your authorized Wright dealer should perform the Pre-Delivery
Service of the mower.
The Wright Mower is shipped completely assembled and has been adjusted and tested at the factory.
However, due to the jostling of the shipping process and the delivery time lapse, the following items need to
be repeated again before starting the mower. After you have uncrated the mower, follow these procedures in
the order indicated:
Inspect the mower for any damage, unusual conditions or missing parts.
Inspect the mower for all of its decals, especially the warning decals. There should be one blade warning
decal on each side of the deck, the “shield missing” decal under the blade belt cover, and the dash decal.
Check (and fill if necessary) engine oil level according to the engine manufacturer’s recommendation.
Check (and fill if necessary) hydraulic fluid level. Use fully SYNTHETIC oil: Mobil-1 15W-50 (see Hydro
Check/Fill section of this manual).
Check rear tire pressure – 18 – 22 psi. is recommended. Use the higher pressures for heavier operators.
Front Casters are equipped with non-pneumatic tires and do not require any air. Lowering tire pressure will
affect deck pitch. Always check pitch any time tire pressure is set below recommended pressures.
Lubricate all appropriate moving parts (see the Lubrication section of this manual).
Check the battery to see that the cables are tight and connected properly. The battery is 12 volts and is a
maintenance-free battery. Only charge the battery if it will not start the mower properly.
Add regular unleaded gasoline to fuel tank. (use a minimum of 87 octane gasoline) (You may use gasoline
containing up to 10% ethanol and gasoline containing up to 5% of methanol.)
Check brake safety interlock.
Try starting the engine with the parking brake released. (Engine should not start. If engine starts,
service the parking brake locking system)
Apply parking brake
Start the engine according to the engine manufacturer’s recommendation. Let the engine run at low - mid
RPM for several minutes to ensure the engine oil reaches all of the engine parts and gets the hydraulic fluid
circulating through the pumps, etc.
Check if the parking brake locking system prevents the units from being driven while engaged. If not,
service the parking brake locking system.
Release the parking brake. Next, move the hand control levers, one at a time, to make the wheels move in
forward and backward rotation.
Before testing the blade clutch/brake operation, make sure the area is clear and there is nothing vulnerable
to possible thrown objects from under the mower. No one should be near the mower deck or in its line of
discharge at this or at any time. The discharge chute deflector should be in the down position.
Move the engine throttle control to ¾ RPM speed setting.
