OPERATING YOUR TRAIL MOWER
INTENDED USE
This Trail Mower is designed to produce a quality finish cut on lawns, golf courses, etc. It is
not designed to clear brush or cut saplings. Your Trail Mower should be towed behind an
ATV, a golf cart, lawn tractor, or similar approved vehicle. It is not meant for speeds
exceeding 5 mph.
ATTACHING TRAIL MOWER TO TOW VEHICLE
•Place mower behind vehicle and back vehicle up to desired attaching position.
•When offsetting Trail Mower do so to side opposite the discharge of the tow vehicle.
•Attach tow hitch (661) to the swivel hitch with hitch pin (H11). Make certain hitch
pin goes completely through each piece and is clipped to prevent accidental
separation.
•Attach red safety tether (H9C) to both the towing vehicle and to the Trail Mower
toggle switch (685SP), located on the left battery side cover (17614). Its purpose is to
manually stop mower engine or to stop mower engine in case the two machines
become separated. (See Motor Base Detail page 14).
•It is extremely important the safety tether is secured properly to both the toggle
switch and the towing vehicle.
STARTING THE ENGINE
See engine manufacturer’s instructions for the type and amount of oil and fuel used. Trail
Mowers with electric start engines will need a battery (sold separately). Swisher
recommends using a standard “U 1 R” lawn & garden battery.
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 cutter 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.
