Recommendations for this angle:
• Lean back. This adds weight to the rear drive
wheels and will allow you to mow more
quickly across the slope without sliding. If
your mower is equipped with the optional
weight bar on the front, the mower may not
handle as well crossing slopes as without
the weight bar on the front. Weight on the
front of the mower reduces the traction of
the rear drive wheels and can cause the
mower to slide or nose dive down hill. Use
of the optional weight bar is determined by
the width of cut of the mower and the
operator’s weight. For 36” cut mowers,
operators over 175 pounds may prefer the
optional weight kit. For 52” cut mowers,
operators over 225 may prefer the optional
weight kit. Remember it is recommended
that operators weigh at least 120 pounds
and not more than 325 pounds. These are
general guidelines only. The mower
function and comfort will vary depending on
mowing environment, operator driving style
and preference.
• To reduce the chances of “popping-a-wheelie”,
do not accelerate quickly.
Note: Excessively worn tire tread is dangerous.
Replace tire(s) with less than 3/32” of any tread
groove left. Use tires with the tread pattern
recommended by Wright Mfg., Inc. only. Keep the
tire pressure in the drive tires between 18 and 22
psi. Higher pressures will cause the tires to have
less traction which may prevent safe operation.
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.

fittings that eject hydraulic fluid under high
pressure. Use paper or cardboard and not
to search for leaks. Hydraulic fluid escaping
under high pressure may have sufficient force
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 flu
is under high pressure. If you need service on
your hydraulic system, please see your authoriz
Wright dealer.
