If the blades do not start and stop in a few seconds each time, service the blade brake system. With the blades on, disengage the OPC switch to test the Operator Presence Control switch (OPC). A time delay has been added to the OPC system. The engine should die and the blades should stop with-in 6-9 seconds after stepping off of the foot platform.
SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS WRIGHT MOWER USERS & OWNERS: READ THIS MANUAL BEFORE USING PLEASE BE CAREFUL! WARNING CAUTION This symbol with the word “WARNING” indicates a potentially hazardous situation which, if not avoided, could result in death or serious injury. This symbol with the word “CAUTION” indicates a potentially hazardous situation which, if not avoided, could result in minor or moderate injury. 1. Introduction This mower is built to the highest standards in the industry.
1.2 Important Information It is vital that these instructions are available to machine users. It is also important to retain with the machine if the machine is sold or transferred to another user. 1.3 Owner/User Notice WARNING The owner’s/user’s obligation is to instruct themselves and all potential users in the safe operation of this equipment and be sure they read and follow the instructions in this safety manual and other material provided by Wright Manufacturing, Inc.
operation. Be sure that all parts of the hand-operated hydraulic control system are tight and secure. This is to reduce the possibility that the mower could have a loss of control during operation and compromise operator safety. Ensure deck pitch is between 1/4 - 3/8”. (Refer to the maintenance interval chart at the end of this manual) 1.8 Regular Mower Safety Maintenance WARNING Keep your Wright mower in good operating condition, and keep safety devices and shields in place and in working condition.
• Before leaving the operator’s position, even momentarily, turn off the blade clutch engagement switch and apply the parking brake. Keep others from coming near the mower. Get back on the mower as soon as possible. • When leaving the Wright mower unattended, turn off the blade clutch engagement switch, apply the parking brake, stop the engine and remove the key. Never leave the machine unattended on a slope in case someone disengages the parking brake. This could create a rollover hazard.
the mower very slowly, inching it backward until you become familiar with how the mower operates. Always operate slowly if in an awkward location or position. While backing up never place your foot or feet on the ground near the back edge of the mower to prevent serious personal injury if the mower were to run over you. 1.
Note: Excessively worn tire tread is dangerous. Replace tire(s) 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 may prevent safe operation. Lower pressure will affect the deck pitch, thus creating a level deck or a reverse pitched deck and this WILL compromise cut quality.

3.3 Digital Hour Meter The Stander is equipped with a digital hour meter. Refer to operating/reset instructions below. The programming specified is: Default display: Hours Press once (TMR1): Timer 1, press for 3 sec to reset Press twice (TMR2): Timer 2, press for 3 sec to reset Press three times (svc ENG): Will display time remaining until next service point, hold down to reset. The first interval is 8hr, thereafter 100hr.
3.6 Safety Interlock System The Wright Stander is equipped with a safety interlock system. The PTO must be disengaged, brake applied and control levers in the neutral position in order to start the machine. With the brake applied, the controls are locked in the neutral position.
4 OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS WARNING If you are not completely familiar with the Safety Instruction Manual read it now before proceeding with the operation of the mower. REMEMBER THERE ARE CERTAIN PRECAUTIONS LISTED IN THIS MANUAL THAT YOU MUST NOW TAKE BEFORE STARTING THE MOWER. 4.1 Inspect Mower Before Each Use Inspection of Mower: Do not use the mower if any parts are not maintained in good operating condition. Examine all moving parts prior to each use.
parking brake. The higher engine speed will make the controls much more responsive and the mower much quicker; Use caution if it is your first time. Now try moving the hand control levers, one at a time, very slightly, forward and backward. Gradually increase your speed until you are well acquainted with the operation of the hand controls and the mower’s behavior.
4.7 How to Adjust Neutral Neutral refers to the mower movement when the engine is set to full throttle, parking brake is off, and the control levers are in the neutral position. The mower should not move forward or backward during this time. If the mower is moving forward or rearward, the neutral setting must be adjusted. The hydraulic pump has a Return-to-Neutral (RTN) device built into the linkage of the pump.
If the rod is made shorter it will increase the forward speed capability for that side of the mower and if the rod is made longer it will slow down that side of the mower. So, if the mower is tracking to the left, either the left side needs to go faster (by shortening the left-side rod) or the right side needs to go slower (by lengthening the right-side rod).
5 Service and Adjustments 5.1 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.
5.3 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. 5.3.1Replacing the Cutter Deck Belt • • • Stop engine and remove the key and wait for all moving parts to stop. Remove deck covers Remove belt by using a ½” ratchet and extension to relieve belt tension. (See figure) . 5.3.
5.4 Spring platform Adjustment The factory setting is both springs set at the most forward position. The more rearward the spring position, the stiffer the platform gets. Adjustment will be to preference of feel. The two adjustment springs should at all times, be positioned next to each other not one forward or back more than the other. To adjust, loosen each spring retaining bolt from the top just enough to slide it, then tighten with impact wrench. The nut may spin using hand wrench.
Filling oil • Lift hinged pad and remove hex socket plug. • Using a funnel, fill tank through oil level port until oil reaches bottom threads of the port. 5.8 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. 5.
Brake Handle Pivot Caster Arms/Pins . Caster Wheel Bearings 5.11 Battery Service The battery is 12 volts and is a maintenance free battery. Charge the battery only if it will not start the mower properly. Remove the battery from the mower before charging. Follow the instructions of the battery charger for proper and safe charging of the battery. 5.12 Tie Down Locations Use metal tie down bars in the front and anti tip wheels in rear to securely fasten unit to the trailer or truck with straps.
5.13 Cleaning the Mower The underside of the mower deck should be checked and cleaned twice daily and more often if the grass being mowed is lush or wet. The entire mower should be cleaned daily at the end of the work day. Cleaning should be done with a leaf blower or low-pressure compressed air. Wash with water only when necessary and do not use a pressure washer or nozzle as the water can enter bearings and electrical connections causing an electrical short, rust and corrosion.
5.16 Fuel Evaporation System All Wright Standers need to have this mandatory feature. • Do Not alter or remove. • Do Not fill past the “Max Fill Level” line shown in Figure 1. • Over-filling could result in clogging the roll-over vent and/or contaminating the purge canister. • The vapor canister is located under the dash. (Fig. 2) • Inspect and clean dust filter every 500 hrs or annually.
