OPERATING YOUR TRAILMOWER

The operation of any mower can produce foreign objects to be thrown into the eyes. resulting in severe eye damage.

Always wear certified safety glasses or wide-vision safety goggles over spectacles before starting any cutting machine and while operating such a machine.

The operation of any cutter produces sound waves that are damaging to the human ear.

Ear protection is recommended.

CAUTION

Tragic accidents can occur if the operator is not alert to the presence of children.

Children are often attracted to the machine and the mowing activity.

Never assume that children will remain where you last saw them.

INTENDED USE This TrailMower is designed to produce a quality finish cut on lawns. golf courses. etc.

It is not designed to clear brush or cut saplings.

Your TrailMower should be towed behind an ATV. a golf cart. lawn tractor. or similar approved vehicle.

It is not meant for speeds exceeding 5 MPH.

ATTACHING TRAILMOWER TO TOW VEHICLE

Place mower behind vehicle and back vehicle up to desired attaching position. When offsetting TrailMower do so to side opposite the discharge of the tow vehicle. Bolt swivel hitch (H 10) to vehicle tow receiver. Attach tow hitch (661) to the swivel hitch with hitch pin (H11).

Make certain hitch pin goes completely through each piece and is clipped to prevent accidental separation. Attach red safety tether (H9C) to both the towing vehicle and to the TrailMower toggle switch (685SP). located on the left battery side cover (17614).

Its purpose is to manually stop mower engine or to stop mower engine in case the two machines become separated. (See Motor Base Detail page 14).

It is extremely important the safety tether is secured properly to both the toggle switch and the towing vehicle.

STARTING THE ENGINE

See engine manufacturer's instructions for the type and amount of oil and fuel used.

TrailMowers with electric start engines will need a battery (sold separately).

Swisher recommends using a standard "U 1 R" lawn & garden battery. Engine must be level to accurately check and fill oil. Do not overfill.

Make sure the tow vehicle parking brake is set. mower is level. and blades are disengaged.

Check spark plug wire. oil. and fuel.

Check all electrical connections (See Schematics).

Make sure toggle switch is turned "ON" and the red tether is properly attached.

Set engine idle to "CHOKE" position.

With feet clear of mower deck. turn key switch to the "START" position; (if unit is equipped with 12 volt system) release when engine begins to run.

For units NOT equipped with electric start turn key to "ON" position and pull starter rope until engine starts.

Set engine idle at desired RPM.

BREAKING IN YOUR MOWER

Set vehicle parking brake or chock wheels to prevent accidental rolling.

Start engine properly.

Slowly. engage blade control.

In a safe environment. i.e. no children. allow blades to rotate and engine to idle for 5 minutes.

This breaks in the belts and the engine.

Stop mower properly.

CAUTION

SHUT OFF MOWER ENGINE AND REMOVE SPARK PLUG WIRE FROM SPARK PLUG BEFORE MAKING ANY ADJUSTMENTS TO THE MOWER.

MOWER HEIGHT ADJUSTMENT

Adjust while mower is not running.

The cutting range is approximately 1.5" to 4.5".

The height has been measured from the

Rotate height adjust crank handles (HTN) in a clockwise direction to lift the mower deck. counter-clockwise direction is used to lower the mower deck.

Make sure the height adjustment is the same at side cralk handles.

For best results. see

"SUGGESTED PRACTICE" section.

Graduated scales are for reference only. not the actual cutter height.

Place crank handle in a retracted position to maintain height adjustment.

STARTING TO MOW

Adjust the cutting height. Double check vehicle to mower attachment.

Start mower engine properly.

Slowly. activate the blade engage lever (17611TK) by rotating it forward and left until the

Carefully mount tow vehicle and start mowing slowly.

STOPPING THE MOWING SESSION

Alwaysrememberto removekeysto avoidirresponsibleusage.

TRANSPORTING MOWER

Stop mower properly.

Place mower deck in its highest position.

If transporting unattached from tow vehicle. then remove spark plug wire and place where it cannot contact the spark plug.

SUGGESTED MOWING PRACTICES

Operate mower engine at full throttle to assure the best cutting performance and maximum material discharge.

Allow wet grass to dry.

Clumps of wet grass will collect under the mowing deck.

Mowing should be started with tow vehicle in low gear and increased only as safe mowing conditions permit.

This speed should not exceed 5 MPH.

The average lawn should be cut to approximately 2.5" during the cool season and to over 3" during the hot months.

For a healthier lawn and better aesthetics. your lawn should be mowed often and after moderate growth.

When cutting high or dense grass areas go slowly.

Some areas may need to be mowed twice.

The second cut should be at 90 degrees to the first. if possible.

Mowing thick or high grass.

Raise rear height crank handles to .5"-.75" above the other two handles.

Creating a manicured lawn.

Lower rear height crank handle to .25"-.5" below front of deck.

This allows grass blades to be cut twice. It also continually cuts clippings to produce a mulching effect.

GENERAL TROUBLE SHOOTING

The mower is not cutting level. Level deck. making sure the side crank-handles are equal. Check air pressure of all tires; make sure they are equal. and to manufactures specifications. Examine blades for damage. while mower engine is not running.

The engine will not start. Disengage blades. turn toggle switch to "ON" position. check battery and all other electrical connections. and inspect spark plug and wire. Check for fuel in the engine.

Engine runs poorly. See engine manual. Check throttle adjuster. Replace fuel. clean fuel filter and fuel line.

IF PROBLEMS PERSIST HAVE A QUALIFIED MECHANIC SERVICE THE MOWER.

NEVER ATTEMPT TO MAKE AN ADJUSTMENT THAT YOU ARE NOT SURE IS CORRECT.

DOING SO CAN CAUSE OTHER PROBLEMS. 1
