the orientations to a slope mentioned above and
must handle the mower accordingly.
Operation in Reverse:
Always keep a firm grip on the mower stationary
handlebar with both hands. Keep both feet firmly
on the foot platform. Look behind you before
backing to prevent injuring yourself or anyone
behind you. Operate 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.
Operation in Forward Direction:
Always keep a firm grip on the mower stationary
handlebar with both hands. Operate the mower
slowly until you become familiar with how the
mower operates. Do not operate the mower
faster than conditions allow. For example, hills,
wet or bumpy ground, dim light or high grass are
all conditions requiring slower speeds. Never
operate the mower at the highest speed unless
you are on level, wide, open areas of clearly
visible ground or transporting on paved areas.
Speeding with any mower is dangerous, and so
is traveling faster than conditions should permit
on this mower. Sudden stops from excessive
speed or falling off the mower may cause serious
injury or death.
Fuel Safety:
Handle gasoline with care – it is highly
flammable. Do not smoke while handling
gasoline. Use an approved gasoline container.
Never remove the fuel cap or add gasoline to a
running or hot engine or an engine that has not
been allowed to cool for several minutes after
running. Never fill the tank indoors and always
clean up spilled gas. NEVER store the equipment with gasoline in the tank inside a
building where fumes may reach an open flame
or spark. Allow the engine to cool before storing
in any enclosure.

Hydraulic Safety:
Keep body and hands away from pin holes or
fittings that eject hydraulic fluid under high
pressure. Use paper or cardboard and not hands
to search for leaks. Hydraulic fluid escaping
under high pressure may have sufficient force to
penetrate skin and cause serious injury. If
foreign fluid is injected into the skin, it must be
surgically removed within a few hours by a doctor
familiar with this form of injury or gangrene may
result. Seek medical attention immediately.
Make sure all hydraulic fluid connections are tight
and all hydraulic hoses and lines are in good
condition before starting the Wright mower.
Hydraulic fluid is under high pressure. If you
need service on your hydraulic system, please
see your authorized Wright dealer.
