WARNING
WARNING
1.16 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.
1.17 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.
1.18 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.
1.19 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.
REMEMBER – YOUR MOWER CAN BE ONLY AS SAFE AS THE OPERATOR.
FAILURE TO FOLLOW SAFE OPERATING PRACTICES MAY RESULT IN
SERIOUS INJURY OR DEATH.
