Owner`s manual
Operation in Reverse:
Always keep a firm grip on the stationary handle-
bar with both hands. Keep both feet firmly on the
foot platform. Operate the mower very slowly,
inching it backward until you become familiar
with how the mower operates and always if in an
awkward location or position. Never place your
foot or feet on the ground near the back edge of
the mower while backing up to prevent serious
injury to feet or legs if mower were to run over
you. Look behind you before backing to prevent
injuring yourself or anyone behind you.
Operation in Forward Direction:
Always keep a firm grip on the mower stationary
handlebar with both hands. Operate the mower
slowly until you become familiar with how the
mower operates. Do not operate the mower
faster than conditions allow. For example, hills,
wet or bumpy ground, dim light or high grass
would all be conditions where you should work
slower than normal. Never operate the mower at
the highest speed unless you are on level, wide,
open areas of clearly visible ground or transport-
ing on paved areas. Speeding with any mower is
dangerous, and so is traveling faster than condi-
tions should permit on this mower. Sudden stops
from excessive speed or falling off the mower
may cause serious injury or death.
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.

Hydraulic Safety:
Keep body and hands away from pin holes or
fittings that eject hydraulic fluid under high pres-
sure. Use paper or cardboard and not hands to
search for leaks. Hydraulic fluid escaping under
high pressure may have sufficient force to pen-
etrate 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 the Wright mower. Hydraulic fluid
is under high pressure. If you need service on
your hydraulic system, please see your autho-
rized Wright dealer.
We really want you to be as safe as possible.
Please read the above again and again until
you fully understand the methods to pro-
mote 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.
