1. Introduction This mower is built to the highest standards in the industry. However, carelessness or operator error may result in serious bodily injury or death. Accident and hazard prevention are dependent upon the awareness, concern, wisdom, and proper training of the personnel involved in the operation, transport, maintenance, and storage of the equipment. Make sure every operator is properly trained and thoroughly familiar with all of the information in this manual before operating the equipment.
1.2 General Safety Instructions The Wright Stander is designed with your safety in mind. It has the following safety systems with which you should become familiar: • The warning decals on the mower including the instrument panel warning • DO NOT disable any of the safety features.
1.3 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. WARNING 1.4 Safety for Operation The Wright Stander should only be used by fully trained operators to prevent the risk of injury to themselves or other personnel.
the equipment is in safe working condition. Check the blade mounting bolts for proper tightness every eight (8) hours of operation. Check the blades for excessive wear and sharpness every four to eight (4-8) hours of operation. Sharpen dull blades. Replace blades when they become excessively worn. The mower should not be used after the blades or other part of the mower strikes a foreign object, until conducting a thorough inspection and any damage is repaired.
• The grass discharge chute deflector must be installed at all times and in the down position except that it may be raised when cleaning out the deck or a grass catcher is installed or a mulch kit and block-off plate is properly installed. • If the mower discharges grass clogs, turn off the blade clutch switch, apply the parking brake, stop the engine and remove the key before removing obstruction(s).
suddenly sliding sideways or down the hill. When operating on a slope, travel across the grade whenever possible, not in an up or down pattern. Reduce speed and exercise extreme caution on slopes and in sharp turns to prevent tipping or loss of control. Be especially cautious when changing direction on slopes. When pointing up a slope, your mower has the most weight on the drive wheels and therefore the most traction at the tires.

5 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. 5.1 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.
hand controls and the mower’s behavior. After gaining a good feel for how the mower handles, gradually attempt higher engine speeds until familiar with operation at full throttle engine speed. Unusual noises or irregular operation: As you drive the mower, listen for any unusual noises and test for irregular operation and adjust or service as necessary. 5.4 How to Stop and Park the Mower Come to a complete stop. If the blades are on, turn them off using the switch on the instrument panel.
5.7 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).
6 Service and Adjustments WARNING 6.1 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.
6.3.2 Replacing the Drive Belt • Stop engine and remove the key and wait for all moving parts to stop. • Remove deck covers. • Remove drive belt access panel. • Remove cutter deck engine to blade belt from clutch. • Raise front of unit and secure • Remove the clutch stop • Remove belt by using a ½” ratchet and extension to relieve belt tension. • Reinstall in reverse order. Figure shows belt configuration. NOTE: Ensure clutch stop is reinstalled.
6.4 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.
6.7 Bleeding Air from the Hydraulic System Whenever servicing the hydraulic system, it is of the utmost importance to keep any dirt or debris from getting into the system. Clean off all parts before disassembly and assembly. When any of the hydraulic parts are disconnected or removed or when the oil is changed, air must be bled from the system. If air is entrained in the system, loss of power, excessive heat, and damage to the hydraulic pumps may occur.
6.10 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. 6.11 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.
6.14 Loading and Unloading WARNING Use extreme caution when loading and unloading units on/off trailers or trucks. One full width ramp that extends beyond the rear tires is recommended rather than individual ramps for each side of the unit. The ramp should be long enough so that the angles between the ramp and the trailer or truck does not exceed 15 degrees. A steeper angle may cause the mower deck components to get caught as the unit moves from ramp to trailer or truck.
6.16 Spindle and Drive Pulley Split hub R&R • • • • Remove 2, ¼” bolts from split hub and install in threaded holes in hub. Slowly tighten each bolt, alternating as you tighten bolts against the pulley. The hub will separate from the pulley. Replace grade 8 bolts and install in reverse order using the assembly holes to tighten hub onto pulley and spindle shaft. Tightening will Threaded Assembly separate the hub Assembly Removal hole from the pulley hole holes 6.
