ENGAGING BLADES
Note: Do not attempt to start the unit with the T-handle console in the " ENGAGED " position.
• Engage blades by pulling down the T-handle lever into the horizontal position.
• Return lever to the vertical position to disengage blades. Seedetailon page14figm'e-8
•The braking system is applied when the blades become disengaged. It is designed to bring the blades
to a quick stop ( approximately 7 seconds. ) Each TrailCutter brake system has been set at the factory
the consumer should not alter any part of the brake system.
BREAKING IN YOUR CUTTER
• Set the vehicle parking brake and chock the wheels to prevent accidental rolling.
• While the engine is running, slowly, engage blade control.
• In a safe environment, (i.e. no children or pets) allow blades to rotate and engine to
idle for 5 minutes, breaking in the belt for a longer life.
• Stop cutter.
STARTING THE ENGINE
See engine manufacturer's recommendations for the type and amount of oil and fuel used.
• Make sure the tow vehicle parking brake is set, mower is level, and blades are
disengaged. Engine must be level to accurately check and fill oil. Do not overfill.
• Check spark plug wire, oil, and fuel.
• Check all electrical connections for build-up of debris.
• Set engine idle to "CHOKE" position.
• Turn key to the "RUN" position.
• Pull rope with a single fluid motion.
• (12V models only) Turn key to the "RUN" position, then to the "START" position.
• Set engine idle at maximum RPM for best performance.

FRONT TO BACK ADJUSTMENT
For best cutting results, the cutter deck should be parallel to the ground. To check parallel
adjustment, measure the distance from the bottom edge of the deck in both the front and rear of
the deck. This adjustment is best done while the tow vehicle and Trailcutter are connected.
• Remove bolt and nut from the "L" hitch (RefFig 2 ).
• Raise or lower hitch section to obtain proper front to back adjustment.
• Connect bolt and nut in "L" hitch securely, Then rotate nut counter- clockwise 1/2
turn,"L" hitch should pivot freely.Bolt must go completely through nut ( but do not
over tighten). See_gu,'e-2, ,,age11
