Pre-Delivery Service Of Mower By Dealer
If you are not completely familiar with the Safety Instruction
Manual read it now before proceeding with the Pre-Delivery
Service of the mower. Only your authorized Wright Mower
dealer should perform the Pre-Delivery Service of the mower
WARNING
The Wright Mower is shipped completely assembled and has been adjusted and tested at the factory.
However, due to the jostling of the shipping process and the delivery time lapse, the following items
need to be repeated again before starting the mower. After you have uncrated the mower, follow these
procedures in the order indicated:
• Remove spark plug wire from spark plug(s).
• Inspect the mower for any damage, unusual conditions or missing parts.
• Inspect the mower for all of its decals, especially the warning decals. There should be one blade
warning decal on each side of the deck, the “shield missing” decal under the blade belt cover, and
the dash decal.
• Check to ensure belt guard is in place before operation.
• Check (and fill if necessary) engine oil level according to the engine manufacturer’s recommendation.
• The Peerless Transmission is a sealed unit and should not require any maintenance.
• Check tire pressures. Adjust to recommended pressure. It should be even on both sides but the
recommended pressures are generally different for the front and rear tires. Higher pressures will
help keep the caster tires on their rims when impacted from the side but give a stiffer ride. Some
Front Casters are equipped with non-pneumatic tires and do not require any air.
• Remove the blade belt cover and check all belt for tension. This mower is equipped with an
automatic tensioning idler system and should not require adjustment.
• Rotate the blade pulleys slightly to see if they all turn together. (Note: Clutch Brake will create some
resistance.)
• Lubricate all moving parts
• Reinstall the blade belt cover.
• Fill fuel tank with regular unleaded gasoline. Open fuel valve under gas tank.
• Reattach spark plug wires to spark plugs.
• Before starting the engine be ready to stop it if the wheels begin to turn with the brake on. (If this
happens, check that brake system is correctly adjusted.)
• Start the engine according to the engine manufacturer’s recommendation.
• Before testing the blade clutch/brake operation, make sure the area is clear and there is nothing
vulnerable to possible thrown objects from under the mower. No one should be near the mower
deck or in its line of discharge at this or at any time. The discharge chute deflector should be in
the down position. Move the engine throttle control to its highest RPM speed setting.
• Turn on the blade clutch switch. Run blades for a minute or so. Try engaging and disengaging the
blades a few times about 10 seconds apart. If the blades do not start and stop in a few seconds
each time, service the blade brake system. With the blades on, now try disengaging the OPC
switch to test the Operator Presence Control switch (OPC). The engine should die and the blades
should stop in several seconds. If not, service the OPC system. Try this a couple of times.
• Disengage the blades, shut off the engine and remove the mower from the stand(s).
• Drive the mower around on a level parking lot. Check that the mower drives in a straight line when
both hand controls are at the full speed position. If not, see further in this manual for information
on tracking adjustment.
• As you drive the mower, listen for any unusual noises and test for irregular operation and adjust or
service as necessary. Next, go over the safety information and operating procedures in this
manual with the customer. Instruct the customer in proper operation and observe the customer
