Page 3: Safety Precautions
Thank you for choosing Swisher’s 44” Trail Cutter. Before operating your cutter, please read, understand and follow all of the safety precautions and other instructions explained in this manual. As with all power equipment, lawn mowers and cutters can be potentially dangerous if improperly used. - Page 4 • Turn off the blades when not cutting. Before leaving the machine, turn off the blades and stop the engine. • Watch for traffic when operating near or crossing roadways. • Do not operate the cutter if it has been dropped or damaged in any manner or if the mower vibrates excessively.
- Page 5 OPERATING YOUR TRAIL CUTTER 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 mower produces sound waves that are damaging to the human ear.
- Page 6 Disengage the blades and shut off the engine. STARTING THE ENGINE See engine manufacturer’s recommendations for the type and amount of oil and fuel used. Trail Cutters equipped with an electric start engine will need a battery (sold separately). Swisher recommends using a standard “U1” battery. •...
- Page 7 • Swisher recommends if the tow vehicle is equipped with a mid-mount mower to overlap the cut approximately 6”. This may vary depending on mowing terrain, obstacles, and/or tow vehicle. Always keep safety the first priority.

Page 8: Cutter Maintenance
• Reducing the travel speed will help cut dense growth. This allows the blades the time necessary to make its initial cut, and regain momentum to continue cutting. The engine may stall if you are mowing too fast! • Do not attempt to cut areas that the tow vehicle cannot maneuver through and/or slopes that you do not feel comfortable riding. -
Page 9: General Troubleshooting
GENERAL TROUBLESHOOTING The unit is not cutting level. • Level deck. Check air pressure of all tires; make sure they are equal. See tires for maximum inflation. • Without the engine running, make certain blades are installed identically. The engine will not start. •... -
