change to the slower speed range and adjust the tracking only one or two turns on either side.

After getting the mower to track straight, readjust the neutral adjustment on the pump by using a ¼” allen wrench at the Return-to-Neutral (RTN) mechanism, if necessary. It is normal to make these adjustments from time to time.

How to Test/Use the Blade

Clutch/Brake Switch

Before testing the blade clutch/brake operation, make sure the area is clear and there is nothing vulnerable to thrown objects from under the mower. No one should be near the mower deck or in its line of discharge. The discharge chute deflector should be in the down position. The parking brake should now be applied. Move the engine throttle to ¾ speed setting. When mowing, the engine speed should always be at its highest setting. The engine governor will regulate the engine according to the different mowing conditions at that setting. Place both feet firmly on the foot platform and turn on the blade clutch switch. Run blades for a minute or so. Try engaging and disengaging the blades a few times about 10 seconds apart. If the blades do not start and stop in a few seconds each time, service the blade brake system or contact your local Wright dealer. Under mowing load, the clutch’s life will be the greatest if engaged and disengaged at the ¾ throttle level.

How to Test the Operator Presence

Control (OPC) Switch

With the parking brakes applied and the blades ON, try lifting your feet off the foot platform to test the Operator Presence Control switch (OPC). The engine should kill and the blades should stop within a few seconds. If not, service the OPC system or contact your local Wright dealer.

WARNING

Service and Adjustments

Tire Maintenance and Pressure

Excessively worn tire tread is dangerous on all hills. Replace drive tires 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 will force you to go slower and with less safety and give you a harder ride. Keep the tire pressure in the front caster tires between 30 and 40 psi. Higher pressures will help keep the caster tires on their rims when impacted from the side but give a harder ride. They do not have any tread but should be replaced when excessively worn.

Height-of-Cut

Before adjusting the height-of-cut be sure the mower engine is off, and all four tires have proper air pressure. Check for even tire wear. The height-of-cut can be adjusted the following way:

•While holding the deck lift lever grip to the left of the upright, push down (with thumb or other hand) on the button at the top of the deck lift lever. With the button pushed down, pull back slightly and then move the deck lift lever forward to lower the deck or pull back to raise the deck. When the deck is at the desired height, release the button and make sure the internal stop block is fully locked into place. There is also a détente pin that can be used to insure the deck is not lowered to a cutting height that is lower than the lowest desired cutting height.

Belt Tension Adjustment

The pump drive belt is self-adjusting, and requires no adjustment, just replacement. The blade drive belt is self-adjusting also and requires no adjustment, just replacement.

How to Move the Mower if the Engine Won’t Start

Rotate both of the hydro bypass valve levers on the side of each hydraulic pump about ½ turn counterclockwise. It is important not to over tighten these levers. Damage may occur to the pump if this valve is over tightened.

Bleeding Air from the Hydraulic System

Whenever servicing the hydraulic system, it is of the utmost importance to keep any dirt or debris from getting into the system. Clean off all parts before disassembly and assembly. When any of the hydraulic parts are disconnected or removed
