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 325 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.
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.
Using a Spark Arrester
The engine in this machine is not equipped with a
spark arrester muffler. It is in violation of California
Public Resources Code Section 4442 to use or
operate the engine on or near any forest-covered,
brush-covered, or grass covered land unless the
exhaust system is equipped with a spark arrester
meeting any applicable local or state laws. Other
states or federal area may have similar laws.
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.
