WARNING
The Wright Sentar is shipped completely assem-
bled and has been adjusted and tested at the
factory. However, due to the jostling of the ship-
ping process and the amount of time elapsed
since this was done at the factory until you re-
ceived the machine the following items need to
be repeated again before starting the mower.
After you have un-crated the mower
follow these
procedures in the order indicated:
 Remove spark plug wire from spark plug(s)
 Inspect the mower for any damage, unusual
conditions or missing parts.
 Inspect the mower for all of its decals, espe-
cially the warning decals. There should be
one blade warning decal on each side of
the deck, the “shield missing” under the
blade belt covers, and the dash decal.
 Check (and fill if necessary) engine oil level
according to the engine manufacturer’s
recommendation.
 Check (and fill if necessary) hydraulic fluid
level. The level should be about 4"-4.5"
below the top of the oil fill. Use synthetic oil:
Mobil 1 10W-30 or AmsOil 10W-40.
 Check rear tire pressure. 20 to 24 psi. is
recommended. It should be even on both
sides. Use the higher pressures for heavier
operators. Set the tire pressure in the front
caster tires between 20 and 35 psi. Higher
pressures will help keep the caster tires on
their rims when impacted from the side but
give a harder ride.
 Check the battery to see that the cables are
tight and connected properly. The battery is
12 volts and is a maintenance free battery.
Only charge the battery if it will not start the
mower properly.
 Remove the blade belt covers and inspect the
belt and idler arm for smooth operation.
Also grease the spindles and the idler arm.
 Rotate the blade pulleys slightly to see if they
rotate freely and all turn together. There will
be resistance due to the clutch brake.
 Replace the blade belt covers.
 Check the cutter deck for proper adjustment.
The deck should be approximately 1/4"
lower in the front than in the rear and the
deck should be level side-to-side. If the
deck is not adjusted properly please adjust
at this time. See Deck adjustments for
further instructions.
 Lubricate all moving parts (see Maintenance
Items section of this manual).
 Fill fuel tanks with regular unleaded gasoline.
Turn fuel valve under right side of dash
towards the gas tank you plan to use.
 DO NOT START THE ENGINE AT THIS TIME.
FOLLOW THE NEXT PROCEDURE BE-
FORE STARTING. The hydraulic system
MUST be checked for proper operation
before allowing wheels to operate on the
ground.
 Set the rear of the machine on jack stands or
blocks to raise rear wheels off of the
ground two or three inches and check that
the mower will not fall off the supports you
devise. (Do not support the mower's
weight on any part of the foot platform).
You must be able to stand on the mower.
The stand(s) must be able to secure the
mower from rolling off or away during the
next procedures. Check under the mower
deck for any debris or unusual conditions.
 With hand controls in the middle or neutral
position, apply the parking brake.
 Open the manual bypass valves on top of each
pump a half-of-a-turn counterclockwise.
 Reattach spark plug wires to spark plugs.
 Before starting the engine be ready to stop it if
the wheels begin to turn with the brake on. (If
this happens, check that the manual bypass
valves on top of each pump are open at
least a half-of-a-turn counterclockwise.)
 Start the engine according to the engine
manufacturer’s recommendation. Let the
engine run at low RPM for several minutes
to get the hydraulic fluid circulating through
