3 SAFETY PRECAUTIONS
Important
This machine is capable of amputating hands and
feet and throwing objects. Failure to observe the
following safety instructions could result in serious
injury or death.
• This machine is constructed only for o-road
use mowing grass on lawns without obstacles
such as stones, tree stumps, and steep inclines.
• The machine can also be used for other tasks
when equipped with approved attachments, for
example the Grass Gobbler and Velke. Some
accessories may void your warranty.
• Lawn machines and all power equipment can
be dangerous if used improperly or by untrained
operators.
• The owner/user can prevent and is responsible
for accidents, injuries occurring to people, or
damage to property.
• Only operate the machine in daylight or good
articial light. Failure to clearly see the ground
while operating may result in sudden impact,
loss of control, or thrown objects.
• Only operate the engine in well ventilated
areas. Exhaust gases contain carbon
monoxide, a deadly poison.
• Lightning can cause severe injury or death.
If lightning is seen, or thunder is heard in the
area, do not operate the machine.
• Do not operate the machine while tired, ill, or
under the inuence of alcohol or drugs.
• This machine is designed for use by physically
t, experienced, and professional commercial
operators which must be no less than 120
pounds and no more than 325 pounds.
• Do not wear radio or music headphones or use
a digital device. Safe service and operation
require your full attention.
• Always follow OSHA approved operation.
• When machine is left unattended, stored, or
parked, lower the cutter deck until it rests on a
positive mechanical stop.
• Do not carry passengers and keep bystanders
away.
• Do not carry equipment on the machine.
• When loading or unloading use only a full-width
ramp which is wider than the machine, provides
good traction, and is not positioned with a steep
angle. Use caution when loading or unloading.
• When hauling, tie the machine down with
appropriately rated straps or chains.
• Never leave or park the machine unattended on
sloped ground or incline.
• Use only approved repair parts to maintain.
• Unauthorized modications to the machine may

Safety features
The machine is designed with your safety in mind.
It has the following safety systems with which you
should become familiar:
• The warning decals on the machine including
the instrument panel and cutter deck.
• The brake must be engaged and the PTO/blade
switch “o” prior to starting the engine.
• The OPC switch must be actuated in order to
engage the blades.
• Disengaging the Operator Presence Control
(OPC) switch while the blades are running will
cause the engine and blades to stop with-in 7
seconds.
• Spring loaded chute deector helps reduce
trajectory of thrown objects.
• Belt, pulley, fan, and heat covers on to reduce
access to moving and hot parts.
• Anti-tip rollers provided at the rear of the
machine reduce the risk of machine tipping.
• DO NOT disable any of the safety features.
• Unauthorized modications to the design of
the machine will absolve the manufacturer
from liability for any resulting personal injury or
property damage.
Training
• Read the operators manual, warnings, labels,
attachments manual, engine manual, and other
training material carefully. If the operator or
mechanic cannot read the language provided,
it is the owner’s responsibility to explain this
material to them.
• Become familiar with the safe operation of the
equipment, operator controls, and safety signs.
• All operators and mechanics should be trained.
The owner is responsible for training the users.
• Never let children or untrained people operate
or service the equipment. Local regulations may
restrict the age of the operator.
• The owner/user can prevent and is responsible
for accidents or injuries occurring to himself or
herself, other people, or damage to property.
• Only allow operators, who are responsible,
trained, familiar with the instructions, and
physically capable to operate the machine.
Preparation
• Carefully inspect and walk the property where
you plan to use the machine for hidden, hardto-see objects or uneven ground that may
be hidden in the grass. Uneven terrain could
overturn the machine, or cause the operator to
lose balance or footing.
• Clear the work area of moveable objects,
including but not limited to, rocks, glass,
toys, wires, dog chains/cables, and golf balls
that might be picked up by the machine and
dangerously thrown.
3-1
• Remove or mark the location of all immovable
objects or irregular areas and be sure not to hit
them with any part of the machine. Obstacles
including and not limited to holes, abrupt
changes in ground contour, tree trunks, stumps
or roots, pipes or posts, paving edges, and
rock outcroppings can abruptly turn or stop the
machine. This could throw you o the machine
or possibly over the handle bars causing
serious injury or death.
• Check carefully for overhead obstacles (i.e.
branches, clothes lines, doorways, electrical
wire, decks, building overhangs, etc.) before
operating and do not operate near them.
• Wear appropriate clothing and personal
protective equipment; including safety glasses,
long pants, substantial slip-resistant footwear,
gloves, and hearing protection. Tie back long
hair.
• Do not wear jewelry, sneakers, sandals, shorts,
baggy clothing, or any clothing or accessories
with loose loops or lanyards.
• Keep the area of operation clear of all
bystanders, particularly small children. Stop the
machine and attachment(s) if anyone enters the
area.
• Check that the operator’s presence controls,
safety switches, interlocks, hardware, and
shields are attached and functioning properly.
Do not operate the machine unless they
are functioning properly. Repair or replace
damaged, badly worn, or missing parts
• Do not operate machine without the entire
grass catcher, discharge chute, or other
safety devices in place and functioning
properly. Check frequently for signs of wear or
deterioration and replace as needed.
• Ensure that all drives are in neutral and that
the parking brake is engaged before starting
engine. Start the electric start engines only from
the operator’s position.
• Before using, always visually inspect to see
that the blades, blade bolts and the mower
assembly are not worn or damaged. Never
straighten or weld blades.
Operating
• Keep a rm hold of the stationary handle at
all times. Keep both feet on the platform at all
times.
• To prevent serious injury never place your foot
or feet on the ground near the back edge of the
machine while backing up.
• Do not suddenly push controls in forward
direction while machine is in a rearward motion.
Operate the controls smoothly.
• Do not mow in reverse unless absolutely
necessary. Always look down and behind before
and while backing to ensure a clear path. Use
extra caution when operating in reverse.
• Do not operate the machine faster than
conditions allow. For example, hills, wet or
bumpy ground, dim light or high grass are all
conditions requiring slower speeds. Never
operate the machine at the highest speed
unless you are on level, wide, open areas
of clearly visible ground or transporting on
paved areas. Speeding with any machine is
dangerous, and so is traveling faster than
conditions should permit on this machine.
Sudden stops from excessive speed or falling
o the machine may cause serious injury or
death.
• Know the controls and how to stop quickly.
• During zero-radius turns (when one machine
wheel rotates backwards while the other
rotates forward) drive extra slowly to reduce the
possibility of losing traction, losing control, or
losing your balance. This will help prevent you
from being thrown o the machine.
• Use care when approaching blind corners,
shrubs, trees, or other objects that may obscure
vision.
• Slow down and use caution when making turns
and crossing roads and sidewalks. Stop the
blades if you are not mowing. Watch for trac
when operating near or crossing roadways.
• Turn o blades and wait for them to stop before
crossing roadways, gravel areas, and climbing
or dismounting curbs.
• Do not raise the mower deck with the blades
running.
• Do not direct discharge material toward anyone.
Avoid discharging material against a wall or
obstruction. Material may ricochet back toward
the operator.
• If the machine discharge clogs, turn o the
blade clutch switch, apply the parking brake,
stop the engine and remove the key before
removing obstruction(s).
• Do not leave the machine running unattended.
Always park on level ground, disengage the
attachment, set parking brake, and stop engine.
• Stop on level ground, disengage drives,
engage the parking brake, and shut o the
engine before leaving the operator’s position
for any reason including emptying the catchers,
unclogging the chute, and servicing the blades
or cutter deck.
• Stop equipment and inspect the blades after
striking objects or if an abnormal vibration
occurs. Make the necessary repairs before
resuming operations.
• Keep hands, feet and clothing away from
rotating parts, especially the rear wheels,
blades, engine ywheel, fans, belts and pulleys.
• Do not touch parts that may be hot from
operation. Allow the machine to cool before
3-2
attempting to maintain, adjust, service, unjamb,
or service the machine.
• Do not put hands or feet near rotating parts or
under the machine. Keep clear of the discharge
opening at all times.
Slope Specic
• Before operating on slopes, walk the area
and evaluate the surface for traction and
smoothness. Slopes with drop os, water, or
compromised traction should be maintained
through other maintenance techniques.
• Slow down and use extra care on hillsides. Be
sure to travel in the recommended direction on
hillsides. Turf conditions can aect the stability
of the machine.
• Do not operate near drop-os, ditches,
embankments, or water. The machine could
suddenly roll over if a wheel goes over the
edge or the edge caves in. The machine could
suddenly slide if traction is compromised. Leave
a safety area between the machine and any
hazard.
• Slow down and use caution when making turns
and when changing directions on slopes.
• Slopes are a major factor related to accidents.
Operation on all slopes requires extra caution.
• Establish your own special operating
procedures and rules for operating on slopes.
These procedures must include a survey of
all mowing sites to determine which slopes
are acceptable. Always use caution, and good
judgement when performing this survey.
• Note that high traction conditions present a
greater rollover hazard while lower traction
conditions present a greater loss of control
hazard. Ground and turf conditions vary
depending on the weather and must be taken
into consideration at all times.
• Some liquid landscape chemicals contain
surfactants which may by very slippery and
severely compromise safe operation.
• Do not operate on steep slopes.
• Do not operate the machine on slopes when the
grass is wet.
• Do not operate machine under any condition
where traction, steering, or stability is in
question. Tires could slide even if the wheels
are stopped.
• Always keep the machine in gear when going
down slopes. Do not coast downhill.
• Avoid starting and stopping on slopes. Avoid
making sudden changes in speed or direction.
Make turns slowly and gradually.
• Use extra care while operating machine with a
grass catcher or other attachment(s). They can
aect the stability of the machine.
• There is a danger of suddenly sliding sideways
or down the hill. When operating on a slope,
travel across the grade whenever possible, not
in an up or down pattern.
• Reduce speed and exercise extreme caution
on slopes and in sharp turns to prevent tipping
or loss of control. Be especially cautious when
changing direction on slopes.
• Do not operate tires that are worn beyond 3/32”
of tread. Do not use unapproved treads or tire
pressures. Unapproved treads or excessive
pressures can compromise your traction.
Children Specic
• Death or serious injury can occur when young
children associate having fun with lawn mowing
equipment.
• Children who have been entertained with power
equipment in the past may be attracted to
the machine while operating. Children do not
understand the hazards of rotating blades and
moving equipment. Never use the machine as a
recreational vehicle or to entertain children.
• Never allow children or untrained operators to
operate the machine. Instruct all operators to
not give children rides.
• Tragic accidents can occur if the operator is not
alert to the presence of children. Children are
often attracted to the machine and the mowing
activity.
• Never assume that children will remain where
you last saw them.
• Keep children out of the operating area and
under the watchful care of a responsible adult
other than the operator.
• Do not carry children, even with the blade(s)
shut o. Children could fall o and be seriously
injured or interfere with safe machine operation.
Children who have been given rides in the past
could suddenly appear in the mowing area for
another ride and be run over or backed over by
the machine.
• Do not allow children to play on or around
machine when not in use and never leave the
key in the ignition switch. Children may be
injured by hot components and are prone to
attempt operating all functions of the equipment
which may result in becoming pinched, crushed,
or unintended operation.
Fire and Fuel Specic
• Besides routine maintenance, one of the best
ways to reduce the risk of re is to regularly
check and remove debris and combustible
residue from the machine.
• Use extra care when handling fuels. They are
ammable and vapors are explosive.
• Use only an approved container.
• Do not remove the fuel cap or add fuel with the
engine running. Allow the engine to cool before
refueling.
3-3
• Keep the machine and engine free of grass,
leaves, excessive grease, oil, or other debris at
all times to reduce the risk of re.
• Do not use the machine to push combustible
materials, such as leaves, branches, or tall
grass.
• Never smoke when handling fuel, and stay
away from open ame or where fuel fumes may
be ignited by spark.
• Never start the engine in an enclosed space
with the presence of fuel vapor. Starting the
engine may ignite fuel vapors.
• Do not smoke near the machine when the
engine is running.
• Do not refuel indoors or in enclosed spaces.
• Never overll the fuel tank.
• Remove machine from truck or trailer before
fueling.
• Do not store the machine or fuel container, or
refuel, where there is an open ame, spark, or
pilot light such as on a water heater or other
appliance.
• If fuel is spilled, do not attempt to start the
engine and avoid creating any source of ignition
until fuel vapors have dissipated.
• Allow machine to cool before storing or
covering. Machine res and structural res can
occur if a machine is stored before allowing it to
cool.
• Always shut o fuel when storing or
transporting.
• Check fuel lines, tank, cap and ttings
frequently for cracks or leaks. Replace
immediately if necessary.
Service
• Only qualied and trained persons who
understand the warnings in this manual should
service this machine.
• Examine the moving parts prior to each use.
Look for excessive wear, deterioration, bald or
worn tires, cracks in parts, lose or missing bolts,
pins, and replace before operating the machine.
Inspect fuel system for leaks or cracks in hoses,
tank(s), and seals.
• Make sure all safety equipment provided
with the machine is in good operating order,
including all the warning decals and the
required operator-presence device which stops
the engine and blades when the switch is
released.
• Inspect the two anti-tip rollers and their
respective bolts at the rear of the machine for
tightness and proper operation.
• Be sure that all parts of the hand-operated
control system are tight and secure. This is to
reduce the possibility that the machine could
have a loss of control.
• Ensure all safety related switches are
operational. Do not disable safety switches.
• Use caution when servicing blades. Wrap the
blade(s) or wear gloves. Replace damaged
blades. Do not repair or alter blade(s). Do
not use blades that have been improperly
sharpened or beyond the serviceable limits. Do
not use blades from unveried sources as the
material may not be suitable.
• Machines with hydraulic pumps, hoses, or
motors: WARNING: Fluid escaping under
pressure may have sucient force to penetrate
skin and cause serious injury. If uid is injected
into the skin, seek immediate medical attention.
Keep body and hands away from pin holes or
nozzles that eject uid under high pressure. If
a leak occurs, have the machine immediately
serviced by a trained technician. Never use
hands to search for hydraulic leaks. Use
paper, cardboard, or UV dye. Keep body and
hands away from pin holes or ttings that eject
hydraulic uid under high pressure.
• Disconnect spark plug wire(s) and the negative
battery cable before making any repairs.
• The machine should not be used after the
blades or other part of the machine strikes
a foreign object, until conducting a thorough
inspection and any damage is repaired.
• Do not climb underneath
• Do not service the machine while suspended
by an unapproved lift, such as a forklift, or hoist/
structure not approved for overhead lifting.
Use proper lifts, or jack stands to support the
machine.
• Don’t change RPM’s outside of operating limits
or alter the governor operation
• Do not tow or push with force or over long
distances. When moving stuck or disabled
equipment, place transmission(s) in neutral or
hydro bypass.
• Use tires with the original tread pattern. Use
of alternate tires and treads may cause loss of
control.
• Use of parts other than specied parts
supplied by Wright Manufacturing, Inc. may
compromise the safe use of the machine and
not recommended. Their use could void the
warranty. Always check with your Dealer or the
Wright website, www.wrightmfg.com for the Part
Lists and diagrams for your machine.
• Waste products, such as used oil, fuel,
coolant, brake uid and batteries, can harm the
environment and people. Do not use beverage
