OPERATING YOUR TRAIL CUTTER
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 starting
any cutting machine and while operating such a machine.
The operation of any mower produces sound waves that are damaging to the human ear. Ear protection is
recommended.
CAUTION! Tragic accidents can occur if the operator is not alert to the presence of children.
Children are often attracted to the machine and the mowing activity. Never assume that children will
remain where you last saw them.
INTENDED USE
The 44” Trail Cutter is designed to clear dense areas of grass and cut saplings up to 3” thick
on meadows and small estates. It is not intended to create a finish cut on lawns. Your
Trail Cutter should e towed ehind an ATV, golf cart, lawn tractor or other approved
vehicle. It is not recommended for speeds exceeding 5 MPH.
ATTACHING TRAIL CUTTER TO TOW VEHICLE
• Back vehicle up to desired towing position.
• Offset the Trail Cutter to the side opposite the tow vehicle discharge (if any).
This prevents the tow vehicle from throwing grass into Trail Cutter engine.
• Using the 20268 hitch pin connect the hitch to the vehicle your machine will e
towed with. Once attached adjust the level of the mower y sliding the hitch
up or down within the L-hitch and inserting the pins through an alternative set
of holes, securing with hair pins.
TRANSPORTING CUTTER
• Stop Trail Cutter.
• Place Trail Cutter deck in its highest position.
• When transporting without the use of a tow vehicle, remove spark plug wire
and place it where it cannot contact the spark plug.
STOPPING THE ENGINE
• Make sure the tow vehicle parking rake is set.
• Disengage cutting lades.
• Reduce engine to idle speed and allow engine to run momentarily for cooling.
• Turn the key to the off position.

6
ENGAGING BLADES
Note: Do not attempt to start the unit with the T-handle console in the “ENGAGED” position.
• Engage lades y pulling down the T-handle lever into the horizontal position.
• Return lever to the vertical position to disengage lades. See Fig 8 pg 16.
•The raking system is applied when the lades ecome disengaged. It is designed to ring the lades
to a quick stop (approximately 7 seconds). Each Trail Cutter rake system has een set at the factory
the consumer should not alter any part of the rake system.
BREAKING IN YOUR CUTTER
• Set the vehicle parking rake and chock the wheels to prevent accidental rolling.
• While the engine is running, slowly engage lade control.
• In a safe environment, (i.e. no children or pets) allow lades to rotate and engine to
run at full throttle for 5 minutes, reaking in the elt for a longer life.
• Disengage the lades and shut off the engine.
FRONT TO BACK ADJUSTMENT
For est cutting results, the cutter deck should e parallel to the ground. To check parallel adjustment,
measure the distance from the ottom edge of the deck in oth the front and rear of the deck. This
adjustment is est done while the tow vehicle and Trail Cutter are connected.
• Remove hair pins NB127 from clevis pins 18842 so L-hitch 18829 can e repositioned.
• Raise or lower hitch section to o tain proper front to ack adjustment.
• Insert clevis pins in the desired hitch position and secure with hair pins.
AUTION: SHUT OFF THE UTTER ENGINE AND REMOVE SPARK
PLUG WIRE FROM SPARK PLUG BEFORE MAKING ANY
ADJUSTMENTS TO THE UTTER.
STARTING THE ENGINE
See engine manufacturer’s recommendations for the type and amount of oil and fuel used. Trail utters
equipped with an electric start engine will need a battery (sold separately). Swisher recommends using a
standard “U1” battery.
• Make sure the tow vehicle parking rake is set, mower is level, and lades are
disengaged. Engine must e level to accurately check and fill oil. Do not overfill.
• Check spark plug wire, oil, and fuel.
• Check all electrical connections for uildup of de ris.
• Set engine idle to “CHOKE” position.
• Turn key to the “RUN” position.
• Pull rope with a single fluid motion.
• (12V models only) Turn key to the “RUN” position, then to the “START” position.
• Set engine idle at maximum RPM for est performance.
• Allow engine to run a few moments efore engaging lades.
IMPORTANT: This engine is not equipped with a spark arrester muffler. It is a violation of
California Public Resource Code Section 444 to use or operate the engine on any forest-covered,
brush-covered, or grass-covered land. Other states or federal areas may have similar laws.

7
CUTTER HEIGHT ADJUSTMENT
• There is approximately 4” of height adjustment.
• Rotate height adjust crank handle in a clockwise direction to lower the mower deck.
Rotate counterclockwise to lift the mower deck.
• Dense areas should e cut twice.
• Push handle down to lock height position.
TOW HITCH OFFSET
• When offsetting the cutter do so to the side opposite the discharge of the tow
vehicle if towing with a mower.
• 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,
o stacles, and/or tow vehicle. Always keep safety the first priority.
• The mower on the tow vehicle should e set higher than the cutter.
STARTING TO CUT
• Adjust the cutting height.
• Dou le check vehicle to cutter attachment.
• Start mower engine and set throttle to “FAST” for est cutting performance.
• Slowly engage T-handle lever. See Fig 8 pg 16.
• Carefully mount tow vehicle and start mowing at a slow travel speed.
STOPPING THE CUTTING SESSION
• Bring tow vehicle to a complete stop, set the parking rake and disengage lades.
• Turn key switch to the “OFF” position.
• Always remem er to remove keys to avoid irresponsi le usage.
SUGGESTED CUTTING PRACTICES
• Operate cutter engine at full throttle to assure the est cutting performance and
maximum material discharge.
• Allow wet grass to dry. Wet grass will clump and collect under the mowing deck.
• Cutter should e started with tow vehicle in low gear and increased only as safe
mowing conditions permit. Cutting speed should not exceed 5 MPH.
• Cutting conditions and the types of grass will vary from place to place. You may
find when cutting dense areas that the pressure of the wheel tracks may cause the
grass to e pushed down and not effectively mowed. If this happens you may want
to mow the area twice. Once with the cutter raised and the second cutting at the
desired height. The second cutting should e at a right angle from the previous for
est results.

CAUTION: DO NOT HANDLE CUTTER BLADES WITH BARE HANDS.
CARELESS OR IMPROPER HANDLING MAY RESULT IN SERIOUS
INJURY.

GENERAL RECOMMENDATIONS
The warranty on this cutter does not cover items that have een su jected to operator
a use or negligence. To receive full value from the warranty, operator must maintain
unit as instructed in this manual.
Some adjustments will need to e made periodically to maintain your unit properly.
BEFORE EACH SEASON
A new spark plug and clean air filter assure proper air fuel mixture and help your engine
run etter and last longer.
• Replace the spark plug.
• Clean or replace the air filter.
• Check lades and elts for wear.
BEFORE EACH USE
• Check engine oil level. Do this twice to ensure an accurate reading.
• Check condition of air filter and clean or replace if necessary.
• Check lade operation.
• Check for loose fasteners.
• Lu ricate threads of adjustment rod P/N 4006. See Fig 3 pg 12.
DAILY MAINTENANCE
Make sure all nuts and olts are tight and cotter pins and retainer springs are secure.
Keep lades sharp. O serve all safety precautions.
BLADE CARE AND SERVICE
For est results cutter lades must e kept sharp. The lades can e sharpened with a
few strokes of a file or grinding wheel. Do Not attempt to sharpen while on the cutter.
Impor an : Replace blades that have been dama ed or deeply nicked.
Impor an : Check blade and spindle hardware on a re ular basis to make sure
nuts are ti ht.
CUTTER MAINTENANCE
• Reducing the travel speed will help cut dense growth. This allows the lades the
time necessary to make its initial cut, and regain momentum to continue cutting.
The engine may stall if you are mowing too fast!
• Do not attempt to cut areas that the tow vehicle cannot maneuver through and/or
slopes that you do not feel comforta le riding.

The unit is not cuttin level.
• Level deck. Check air pressure of all tires; make sure they are equal. See
tires for maximum inflation.
• Without the engine running, make certain lades are installed identically.
The en ine will not start.
• Disengage lades, turn key switch to the “OFF” position, check attery and
all other electrical connections and inspect spark plug and wire.
• Contact engine manufacturer or qualified mechanic.
En ine runs poorly.
• See engine manual.
• Check the throttle adjuster.
• Replace fuel, check fuel filter and fuel line.
• Check spark plug and gap.
Cutter bounces excessively while towin .
• Decrease tire pressure.
• Tow at a lower speed.
IF PROBLEMS PERSIST HAVE A QUALIFIED ME HANI SERVI E
