• Set vehicle parking brake or chock wheels to prevent accidental rolling.
• Start engine properly.
• Slowly, engage blade control.
• In a safe environment, i.e. no children, allow blades to rotate and engine to
idle for 5 minutes. This breaks in the belts and the engine.
• Stop mower properly.
ENGAGING BLADES
The TrailMower will not start if the blade lever is in the “ENGAGED” position.
• Engage blades by rotating blade lever into the “ENGAGED” position.
• Rotate blade lever in opposite direction to disengage blade.
• The dual braking system is applied when the blades become disengaged. It is
designed to bring the blades to quick stop (approximately 7 seconds). Each
TrailMower brake system has been tested and calibrated. For safety, the
consumer should not alter the braking system.
STARTING THE ENGINE
See engine manufacturer’s recommendations for the type and amount of oil and fuel
used. Trail Mowers equipped with an electric start engine will need a battery (sold
separately). Swisher recommends using a standard “12N12A” battery.
• Make sure the tow vehicle parking brake is set, mower is level, and blades are
disengaged. Engine must be level to accurately check and fill oil. Do not overfill.
• Check spark plug wire, oil, and fuel.
• Check all electrical connections for build-up or debris.
• Make sure toggle switch is not turned “OFF” and safety tether is attached.
• Set engine Throttle to “Run” position (Rabbit).
•Move the “Choke” Lever to the on position. (Cold engine only)
• With feet clear of mower deck, turn key switch to the “START” position; release
when engine begins to run (12volt models). Recoil models must use pull-rope.
Pull rope with a single fluid motion.
• Set engine throttle at maximum RPM.
• Allow engine to run a few moments before engaging blades.
BREAKING IN YOUR MOWER
