OPERATING YOUR TRAIL MOWER
INTENDED USE
The 44” Trail Mo er is designed to produce a quality finish cut on la ns, golf courses,
etc. It is not intended to clear brush or cut saplings. Your Trail Mo er should be
to ed behind an ATV, golf cart, la n tractor, or other approved vehicle. It is not
designed for speeds exceeding 5 MPH. WARNING: To avoid serious injury,
operate your mo er up and do n the face of slopes, NEVER across the face. DO
NOT MOW SLOPES GREATER THAN 15 DEGREES! (See attached guide for
sighting slopes.)
ATTACHING TRAIL MOWER TO TOW VEHICLE
• Back vehicle up to desired to ing position.
• Offset the Trail Mo er to the side opposite the to vehicle discharge (if any).
This prevents the to vehicle from thro ing grass into Trail Mo er engine.
• If to vehicle has a ball hitch, the ball must be removed before hitch can be
fastened.
• Attach hitch to the to vehicle ith hitch pin (H11). Make certain the hitch
pin goes completely through and is clipped to prevent accidental separation.
• Securely attach safety tether (6736) to to vehicle and to the Trail Mo er
toggle s itch located on right side of the engine. The safety tether ill stop the
Trail Mo er engine either manually or if the t o should become separated. It is
very important that the safety tether is securely attached to both the toggle
switch and to the tow vehicle. See Fig 3, pg 15.
The operation of any mo er can produce foreign objects to be thro n into the
eyes, resulting in severe eye damage. Al ays ear certified safety glasses or
ide-vision safety goggles over spectacles before staring any cutting machine
and hile operating such a machine.
The operation of any cutter produces sound aves 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 mo ing
activity. Never assume that children will remain where you last saw
them.
TRANSPORTING MOWER
• Stop Trail Mo er.
• Place Trail Mo er deck in its highest position.
• When transporting ithout the use of a to vehicle, remove spark plug
ire and place it here it cannot contact the spark plug.
6
• Set vehicle parking brake or chock heels to prevent accidental rolling.
• Start engine properly.
• Slo ly engage blade control.
• In a safe environment, i.e. no children, allo blades to rotate and engine to
idle for 5 minutes. This breaks in the belts and the engine.
• Stop mo er properly.
ENGAGING BLADES
The Trail Mo er ill 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 hen the blades become disengaged. It is
designed to bring the blades to quick stop (approximately 7 seconds). Each
Trail Mo er brake system has been tested and calibrated. For safety, the
consumer should not alter the braking system.
STARTING THE ENGINE
See engine manufacturer’s recommendations for the type and amount of oil and fuel
used. Trail Mo ers equipped ith an electric start engine ill need a battery (sold
separately). S isher recommends using a standard “12N12A” battery.
• Make sure the to vehicle parking brake is set, mo er is level, and blades are
disengaged. Engine must be level to accurately check and fill oil. Do not overfill.
• Check spark plug ire, oil, and fuel.
• Check all electrical connections for buildup or debris.
• Make sure toggle s itch is not turned “OFF” and safety tether is attached.
• Set engine throttle to “RUN” position.
• Move the choke lever to the “ON” position (cold engine only).
• With feet clear of mo er deck, turn key s itch to the “START” position; release
hen engine begins to run (12 volt models). Recoil models must use pull-rope.
Pull rope ith a single fluid motion.
• Set engine throttle at maximum RPM.
• Allo engine to run a fe moments before engaging blades.

brush-covered, or grass-covered land. Other states or federal areas may have similar laws.
• There is approximately 1 ½” to 4 ½” of height adjustment.
• Rotate height adjust crank handle in a clock ise direction to lift the mo er
deck. A counter-clock ise direction is used to lo er the mo er deck.
• Graduated scales are for reference only, not the actual cutter height.
• Bring to vehicle to a complete stop, shut off engine, and set parking brake.
• Disengage blades.
• Manually shut toggle s itch and/or key s itch to their “OFF” positions.
• Al ays remember to remove keys to avoid irresponsible usage (electric start

• Adjust the cutting height.
• Double check vehicle to mo er attachment.
• Start mo er engine and set throttle to “FAST” for best cutting performance.
• Slo ly engage blade clutch lever.
• Carefully mount vehicle and start mo ing at a slo travel speed.
• S isher recommends if the to vehicle is equipped ith a mid-mount mo er
to overlap the cut approximately 6”. This may vary depending on mo ing
terrain, obstacles, and/or to vehicle. Al ays keep SAFETY the first priority.
• If the to vehicle is not equipped ith a mid-mount mo er, e still
recommend offsetting the mo er so that the to vehicle does not crush the
grass.
• Make adjustments hile Trail Mo er is not running.
• Remove hairpins NB127 from clevis pins 18842 so L-hitch 18829 can
be repositioned.
• Raise or lo er hitch section to obtain proper front to back adjustment.
• Insert clevis pins in the desired hitch position and secure ith hairpins.
MOWER HEIGHT ADJUSTMENT
• Make adjustments hile Trail Mo er is not running.
FRONT TO BACK ADJUSTMENT
For best cutting results, the mo ing deck should be raised to ½” to ¾” higher in
the rear.
TOW HITCH OFFSET
This Trail Mo er has been designed to operate offset from the center of the to
vehicle or consecutively ith another Trail Mo er, providing additional cutting
idth. When offsetting the mo er do so to the side opposite the discharge of the to
vehicle.

SUGGESTED MOWING PRACTICES
• Operate mo er engine at full throttle to assure the best cutting performance and
maximum material discharge.
• Allo et grass to dry. Wet grass ill clump and collect under the mo ing deck.
• Mo ing should be started ith to vehicle in lo gear and increased only as safe
mo ing conditions permit. Mo ing speed should not exceed 5 MPH.
• The average la n should be cut to approximately 2.5” during the cool season and to
over 3” during the hot months.
• For a healthier la n and better aesthetics, your la n should be mo ed often and
after moderate gro th.
• When cutting high or dense grass areas go slo ly. Some areas may need to be
mo ed t ice. The second cut should be at 90 degrees to the first, if possible.
•Mowing thick or high grass: Raise rear of deck to ½” to ¾” above front of the
deck. See “FRONT TO BACK ADJUSTMENT”. When mo ing thick or high grass,
it is recommended to cut area t ice. The first at a higher setting and the second at the
desired la n height.
•Creating a manicured lawn: Never cut more than 1/3 of the grass height in one
cutting.
GENERAL TROUBLE SHOOTING
The mo er is not cutting level.
• Check air pressure of all tires; make sure they are equal. See tires for
maximum inflation.
• Make certain blades are installed identically, ithout the engine running.
The engine ill not start.
• Disengage blades, turn toggle s itch to “OFF” position, check battery and all
other electrical connections, and inspect spark plug and ire.
• Contact engine manufacturer or qualified mechanic.
Engine runs poorly.
• See engine manual.
• Check the throttle adjuster.
• Replace fuel, clean fuel filter and fuel line.
• Check spark plug and gap.
Mo er bounces excessively hile to ing.
• Decrease tire pressure.
• To at a slo er speed.
IF PROBLEMS PERSIST HAVE A QUALIFIED MECHANIC SERVICE THE
MOWER. NEVER ATTEMPT TO MAKE AN ADJUSTMENT THAT YOU
ARE NOT SURE IS CORRECT. DOING SO CAN CAUSE OTHER
PROBLEMS.
