Troy-Bilt 31/2 HP - Manual (Page 4)

Dear Owner:
Congratulations on the purchase of your TROY-BILT TRAIL BLAZER® Sickle Bar Mower. You will find this mower
to be a unique and useful piece of equipment that can be used for many projects on your property. You can
use this mower for numerous tasks, such as taming those unsightly areas on your property that you never had
the time to mow, cleaning up any badly overgrown spots that are threatening to surround your out-buildings,
making an occasional pass over the edges of your property to keep your property lines clear, or making a single
path through head-high weeds and saplings to make a nature trail or a cross country trail that can be enjoyed all
year long.
Because of the TROY-BILT TRAIL BLAZER® Mower’s ease of operation and well-balanced build, you can do all
of the above-mentioned projects easily with little more effort than simply walking behind the mower. The mower’s
cutter bar has induction hardened teeth that slice through weeds and small saplings in a single pass, leaving a
wide swath behind.
To help you get the most value from your mower, we’ve prepared this Owner/Operator Manual for your use.
This Manual will tell you how to easily assemble your mower and operate its controls. It also provides you with
easy-to-follow procedures for performing required maintenance.
And, of course, we are never more than a phone call away. If you should ever have any questions about your
mower, or need to order any parts, please call us. Our phone numbers are listed on Page 3 and on the back cover
of this Manual. One of our helpful, friendly Technical Service people will be glad to assist you.
Sincerely,
Dean Leith, Jr.
Sales Manager
