LIMITED WARRANTY The manufacturer’s warranty to the original consumer purchaser is: This product is free from defects in materials and workmanship for a period of one (1) year from the date of purchase by the original consumer purchaser. We will repair or replace, at our discretion, parts found to be defective due to materials or workmanship.
SAFETY PRECAUTIONS This Safety Alert Symbol indicates important messages in this manual. When you see this symbol, carefully read the message that follows and be alert to the possibility of personal injury. Read this manual completely. This machine can amputate hands, feet, and throw objects. Failure to observe the following safety instructions could result in serious injury or death. • Read the manual. Learn to operate this machine safely.
• Turn off the blades when not mowing. Before leaving the machine, turn off the blades and stop the engine. • Watch for traffic when operating near or crossing roadways. • Do not operate the mower if it has been dropped or damaged in any manner or if the mower vibrates excessively. Excessive vibration is an indication of damage. Repair mower as necessary. • Dress properly. Do not operate the mower when barefoot or wearing open sandals. Wear only solid shoes with good traction when mowing.
SAFETY DECALS Replace decal immediately if damaged. Order by part number from Swisher Mower and Machine Co. Inc.
OPERATING YOUR TRAILMOWER 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 staring 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.
ENGAGING BLADES (without T-handle option, Standard) The TrailMower will not start if the blade lever is in the “ENGAGED” position. • Engage blades by rotating blade lever into the “ENGAGED” position. • Rotate blade lever in opposite direction to disengage blade. • The dual braking system is applied when the blades become disengaged. It is designed to bring the blades to quick stop (approximately 7 seconds). Each TrailMower brake system has been tested and calibrated.
MOWER HEIGHT ADJUSTMENT • Make adjustments while TrailMower is not running. • There is approximately 1 ½” to 4 ½” of height adjustment. • Rotate height adjust crank handle(s) in a clockwise direction to lift the mower deck. A counter-clockwise direction is used to lower the mower deck. • For best results, see “SUGGESTED PRACTICE” section. Graduated scales are for reference only, not the actual cutter height.
SUGGESTED MOWING PRACTICES • Operate mower engine at full throttle to assure the best cutting performance and maximum material discharge. • Allow wet grass to dry. Wet grass will clump and collect under the mowing deck. • Mowing should be started with tow vehicle in low gear and increased only as safe mowing conditions permit. Mowing speed should not exceed 5 MPH. • The average lawn should be cut to approximately 2.5” during the cool season and to over 3” during the hot months.
MOWER MAINTENANCE GENERAL RECOMMENDATIONS The warranty on this TrailMower does not cover items that have been subjected to operator abuse or negligence. To receive full value from the warranty, operator must maintain unit as instructed in this manual. Some adjustments will need to be made periodically to maintain your unit properly. All adjustments in this manual should be checked at least once each season. BEFORE EACH USE • Check engine oil level on a level surface.
BLADE CARE AND SERVICE For best results cutter blades must be kept sharp. The blades can be sharpened with a few strokes of a file or grinding wheel. Do not attempt to sharpen blades while they are on the cutter. Disconnect spark plug wire before servicing unit. Important: Replace blades that have been damaged or deeply nicked. Important: Check blade and spindle hardware on a regular basis to make sure nuts are tight.
