Fuel Safety

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. The front caster tires do not require air.

WARNING

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.

WARNING

Replacement Parts

Use of parts other than specified parts supplied by Wright Manufacturing, Inc. may compromise the safe use of the mower, are not recommended and their use could void the warranty. Always check with your Dealer or the Wright Mfg website for the latest Illustrated Parts List for your equipment.

Wright is fully concerned with your safety. Please read the above again and again until you fully understand the methods to promote the safest operation possible.

REMEMBER – YOUR MOWER CAN BE ONLY

AS SAFE AS THE OPERATOR.

FAILURE TO FOLLOW SAFE OPERATING

PRACTICES MAY RESULT IN

SERIOUS INJURY OR DEATH.

WARNING

Hydraulic Safety

Use paper or cardboard and not hands to search for leaks. Keep body and hands away from pin holes or fittings that eject hydraulic fluid under high pressure. Hydraulic fluid escaping under high pressure may have sufficient force to 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 fluid is under high pressure. If you need service on your hydraulic system, please see your authorized Wright dealer.
