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 staring 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 (H10) 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 throttle housing (6013). Its purpose is to manually stop mower engine or to stop mower engine in case the two machines become separated. (See Motor Base Detail #22).

•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.
