  • Page 3: Safety Precautions

    SAFETY PRECAUTIONS This Safety Alert Symbol indicates important messages in this manual. When you see this symbol, carefully read the message that follows and be alert to the possibility of personal injury. Read this manual completely. This machine can amputate hands, feet, and throw objects.
  • Page 4 • Do not put hands or feet near or under rotating parts. Keep clear of the discharge opening at all times. • Do not mow in reverse. Always look down and behind before and while backing. • Turn off the blades when not mowing. Before leaving the machine, turn off the blades and stop the engine.

  • Page 6 OPERATING YOUR TRAIL MOWER 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.

  • Page 7: Starting The Engine

    See engine manufacturer’s recommendations for the type and amount of oil and fuel used. Trail Mowers equipped with an electric start engine will need a battery (sold separately). Swisher recommends using a standard “12N12A” battery. • Make sure the tow vehicle parking brake is set, mower is level, and blades are disengaged.
  • Page 8 When offsetting the mower do so to the side opposite the discharge of the tow vehicle. • 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.

  • Page 9: General Troubleshooting

    SUGGESTED MOWING PRACTICES • Operate mower engine at full throttle to assure the best cutting performance and maximum material discharge. • Allow wet grass to dry. Wet grass will clump and collect under the mowing deck. • Mowing should be started with tow vehicle in low gear and increased only as safe mowing conditions permit.

  • Page 10: Mower Maintenance

    BLADE CARE AND SERVICE For best results mower blades must be kept sharp. The blades can be sharpened with a few strokes of a file or grinding wheel. Do not attempt to sharpen blades while they are on the mower. Disconnect spark plug wire before servicing unit. Important: Replace blades that have been damaged or deeply nicked.
