WARNING

 

 
 

User Clothing 

DO NOT operate the mower while wearing 
sandals, tennis shoes, sneakers, or shorts.  
Always wear long non-baggy pants.  Wear high-
top leather steel-toed work boots with thick, 
textured tread, soft-rubber soled at all times.  
Hard or smooth soled shoes are too slippery for a 
good footing on mower platform.  NEVER wear 
loose-fitting clothing or jacket pockets that can get 
caught on the handlebars or control levers of any 
mower you drive.  Wearing safety glasses, ear 
protection and safety shoes is advisable and 
required by some local ordinances and insurance 
regulations. 
 
 

    

WARNING

 

 
 

 

Inspect Mower Before Each Use 

DO NOT use the mower if any parts are not 
maintained in good operating condition.  Examine 
the moving parts prior to each use.  Look for 
excessive wear, bald or worn tires, cracks in 
parts, loose or missing bolts, cotter pins, linchpins 
or “hair” pins or cable yoke pins and replace 
before operating the mower.  Make sure all safety 
equipment provided with the mower is in good 
operating order, including all the warning decals 
and the required operator-presence device which 
stops the engine and blades when the seat-
operated Operator Presence Control (OPC) 
switch is released.  (To test the OPC, follow 
instructions in the 

Operating Instructions

 section 

of this manual.)  Be sure that all parts of the hand-
operated hydraulic control system are tight and 
secure.  This is to reduce the possibility that the 
mower could have a loss of control during 
operation and compromise operator safety. 
 
 
 
 

 

Regular Mower Safety Maintenance 

Keep your Wright mower in good operating 
condition, and keep safety devices and shields in 
place and in working condition.  Replace worn 

tire(s) with less than 3/32” of any tread groove left.  
Use tires with the tread pattern specified by 
Wright Mfg., Inc. only.  DO NOT change the 
engine governor settings or over-rev the engine 
contrary to engine manufacturer specifications.  
Failure to comply can compromise operator 
safety, shorten equipment life and void your 
manufacturer’s warranty.  Keep all nuts, bolts, and 
screws tight to be sure the equipment is in safe 
working condition. Check the blade mounting 
bolts for proper tightness every eight (8) hours of 
operation. Check the blades for excessive wear 
and sharpness every four to eight (4-8) hours of 
operation.  Sharpen dull blades.  Replace blades 
when they become excessively worn. The mower 
should not be used after the blades or other part 
of the mower strikes a foreign object, until 
conducting a thorough inspection and any 
damage is repaired. Make sure the chute 
deflector is always in place and operating 
properly.  Replace if the deflector becomes worn 
or ceases to properly deflect the grass in a safe 
manner. See the instructions in the 

Recommended Maintenance

 section of this 

manual for other items of required maintenance.

Work Area Conditions & Inspection 

Prior to operating the unit, carefully inspect all 
lawn/ground areas where you plan to use the 
mower for hidden, hard-to-see objects or uneven 
ground that may be hidden in the grass.  Clear the 
work area of moveable objects such as wires, 
rocks, glass, toys, etc. that might be picked up by 
the mower and dangerously thrown.  Remove, if 
possible, or mark the location of all immovable 
objects or irregular areas and be sure not to hit 
them with any part of the mower, its deck or the 
blades.  Obstacles such as holes, abrupt changes 
in ground contour, tree trunks, stumps or roots, 
pipes protruding from the ground, paving edges, 
etc. in the path of operation can abruptly turn or 
stop the mower.  This could possibly throw you 
into the control levers or even off the mower, 
causing serious injury or death.  The faster you 
are moving the more potential there is for injury.  
Mow only in daylight or in good artificial light.  
Keep away from drop-offs, the edges of ponds, 
streams, pools, etc. especially at the bottom of 
slopes.  Do not mow when children or others are 
nearby.   When the Wright mower is in use, never
