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

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.
•
Know the controls and how to stop quickly.
•
Before attempting to start the engine, follow all
starting instructions below and in the engine
operator’s manual.
•
Look behind before backing up.
•
Before leaving the operator’s position, even
momentarily, turn off the blade clutch
engagement switch and apply the parking
brake. Keep others from coming near the
mower. Get back on the mower as soon as
possible.
•
When leaving the Wright mower unattended,
turn off the blade clutch engagement
switch, apply the parking brake, stop the
engine and remove the key. Never leave
the machine unattended on a slope in case
someone disengages the parking brake
which would be hazardous if the mower
were to roll.
•
When transporting, driving onto transport
vehicles, into buildings, across parking lots
or otherwise not mowing grass, turn off the
blade clutch engagement switch to reduce
risk of thrown objects and rotating blade
hazard. After coming to a stop apply the
parking brake, stop the engine and remove
the key.
•
Before performing any maintenance or repair
service, disengage power to blades, apply
the parking brake, stop the engine, remove
ignition key and spark plug wire from spark
plug(s).
•
All operators of this mower should exercise
caution when driving this mower at high
speeds. Sudden stops from excessive
speeds may cause serious injury.
•
DO NOT allow inexperienced people to operate
the mower until they have read and
understood these safety instructions.
Operate the mower at slower speeds while
becoming familiar with it.
•
The grass discharge chute deflector must be
installed at all times and in the down
position except that it may be raised when
the grass catcher is completely installed or
a mulch kit is completely installed.
WARNING
•
If the mower discharge clogs, turn off the blade
clutch switch, apply the parking brake, stop
the engine and remove the key before
removing obstruction.

blade belt covers.
•
Keep hands, feet and clothing away from
rotating parts, especially the rear wheels,
blades, engine flywheel, belts and pulleys.

Do not touch engine or muffler while engine is
running or soon after it is stopped. These
areas can be so hot as to cause severe
burns.
•
Clean grass, leaves and lubricant spills from
surfaces after use to prevent fire hazard.

Be alert for traffic when crossing roads or
operating near roadways.
•
Before climbing curbs, crossing gravel drives,
sidewalks or roads, turn off the blades, lift
