mower were to run over you. Look behind you
before backing to prevent injuring yourself or
anyone behind you. Operate at slow speeds in
forward and reverse if not completely familiar
with mower operation.

Operation In Forward Direction
Always keep a firm grip on the mower handles
with both hands. Always remember to squeeze
the handles to stop. Note: the neutral lock is
not a parking brake. The drive-belt idler system
can be adjusted to accommodate this, but
should not be depended upon as the only
means to prevent the machine from rolling
down a hill. Operate the mower slowly until you
become familiar with how the mower operates.
Do not operate the mower faster than
conditions allow. For example, hills, wet or
bumpy ground, dim light or high grass would all
be conditions where you should work slower
than normal. Never operate the mower at the
highest speed unless you are on level, wide,
open areas of clearly visible ground or
transporting on paved areas. Speeding with any
mower is dangerous, and so is traveling faster
than conditions should permit on this mower.
Sudden stops from excessive speed or
becoming detached from the mower may cause
serious injury or death. See the “How to
change the Speed Adjustment” section of this
manual.
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. Always use fresh and clean
fuel. Untreated fuel stored for a prolonged
period of time can varnish and create problems
throughout the fuel delivery system.
Belt Safety
Keep body and hands away from the exposed
drive belts on either side of the mower. Serious
bodily injury could result for entanglement in the
belt and pulley system. Always adjust belt
tension with the engine turned off and spark
plug disconnected. Be certain to block wheels
to prevent the mower from rolling and creating
additional risk of pinching.
Replacement Parts
Use of parts other than specified parts supplied
by Wright Manufacturing, Inc. may compromise
the safe use of the mower and are not
recommended. Please check with your Dealer
or our website for the latest Owner’s Manuals
and Parts Manuals at www.wrightmfg.com.
We want you to be as safe as possible. 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.
