thrown by the blade.

• Be sure the area is clear of other people before mowing. Be aware of the mower

discharge direction and do not point at anyone. Stop the machine if anyone enters

the mowing area. Children are often attracted to the machine and the mowing

acti ity. Never assume that children will remain where you last saw them.

Keep children under the watchful care of another responsible adult.

• No riders!

• Do not put hands or feet near or under rotating parts. Keep clear of the discharge

opening at all times.

• Do not mow in re erse. Always look down and behind before and while backing.

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.

•

Turn off the blades when not mowing. Before lea ing 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 ibrates excessi ely. Excessi e ibration 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.

• Do not operate the machine while under the influence of alcohol or drugs.

• Operate self-propelled machines up and down slopes. There is significant risk

of o erturns when operating across slopes. Operate walk-behind machines

across slopes. There is a significant risk of slipping under a walk-behind

machine when operating up and down slopes. Do not operate on slopes greater

than 15 degrees.

• Ne er tamper with safety de ices. Check their proper operation regularly.

• Stop and inspect the equipment if you strike an object. Repair, if necessary,

before restarting.

• Ne er make adjustments or repairs with the engine running.

• Mower blades are sharp and can cut. Wrap the blades or wear glo es, and use

OPERATING YOUR TRAILMOWER

INTENDED USE

The 44” Rugged Cut TrailMower is designed to clear dense areas of grass and cut

saplings up to 1 inch thick on golf courses and small estates. It is not intended to create a

finish cut on lawns. Your TrailMower should be towed behind an ATV, golf cart, lawn

tractor, or other appro ed ehicle. It is not recommended for speeds exceeding 5 MPH.

ATTACHING TRAILMOWER TO TOW VEHICLE

• Back ehicle up to desired towing position.

• Offset the TrailMower to the side opposite the tow ehicle discharge (if any).

This pre ents the tow ehicle from throwing grass into TrailMower engine.

• Bolt swi el hitch (H10) to ehicle tow recei er. If tow ehicle has a ball hitch,

the ball must be remo ed before swi el hitch can be fastened.

• Attach tow hitch and the “L” hitch (4866 & H1) to the swi el hitch. The hitch pin

(H11) should go completely through both the swi el and “L” hitches and clipped

to pre ent accidental separation. Check that all hardware is secure at both the tow

ehicle and the TrailMower.

TRANSPORTING MOWER

• Stop TrailMower.

• Place TrailMower deck in its highest position.

• When transporting unattached from tow ehicle, remo e spark plug wire and

place it where it cannot contact the spark plug.

ENGAGING BLADES

The TrailMower will not start if the T-handle console is in the “ENGAGED” position.

• Engage blades by pulling T-handle le er into its horizontal position.

The operation of any mower can produce foreign objects to be thrown into the

eyes, resulting in se ere eye damage. Always wear certified safety glasses or

wide- ision safety goggles o er spectacles before staring any cutting machine and

while operating such a machine.

The operation of any cutter produces sound wa es 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

acti ity. Never assume that children will remain where you last saw them.

•

Return le er to its ertical position to disengage blades.

• The 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. 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.

• Make sure the tow ehicle parking brake is set, mower is le el, and blades are

disengaged. Engine must be le el to accurately check and fill oil. Do not o erfill.

• Check spark plug wire, oil, and fuel.

• Check all electrical connections for build-up of debris.

• Set engine idle to “CHOKE” position.

• Pull rope with a single fluid motion.

• Set engine idle at maximum RPM for best performance.

• Allow engine to run a few moments before engaging blades.

BREAKING IN YOUR MOWER

• Set the ehicle parking brake and chock the wheels to pre ent accidental rolling.

• While the engine is running, slowly, engage blade control.

• In a safe en ironment, i.e. no children or pets, allow blades to rotate and engine to

idle for 5 minutes, breaking-in the belt for a longer life.

• Stop mower.

FRONT TO BACK ADJUSTMENT

For best cutting results, the mowing deck should be parallel to the ground. To check

parallel adjustment, measure the distance from the bottom edge of the deck in both the

front and rear of the deck. This adjustment is best done while the tow ehicle and

TrailMower are connected.

• Remo e bolts and nuts from the “L” hitch (H1).

• Raise or lower hitch section to obtain proper front to back adjustment.

• Connect bolts and nuts in “L” hitch securely.

MOWER HEIGHT ADJUSTMENT

• There is approximately 3 inches of height adjustment.

• Rotate height adjust crank handle in a clockwise direction to lift the mower deck.

A counter-clockwise direction is used to lower the mower deck.

• Dense areas of grass should be cut twice.

• Push handle down to lock height position.

CAUTION: SHUT OFF THE MOWER ENGINE AND REMOVE SPARK

PLUG WIRE FROM SPARK PLUG BEFORE MAKING ANY

ADJUSTMENTS TO THE MOWER.

TOW HITCH OFFSET

• When offsetting the mower do so to the side opposite the discharge of the tow

ehicle.

• Swisher recommends if the tow ehicle is equipped with a mid-mount mower to

o erlap the cut approximately 6”. This may ary depending on mowing terrain,

obstacles, and/or tow ehicle. Always keep safety the first priority.

• Always keep the tow ehicle cutter raised higher than the TrailMower.

• If the tow ehicle is not equipped with a mid-mount mower, we still recommend

offsetting the mower so that the tow ehicle does not crush the grass.

STARTING TO MOW

• Adjust the cutting height.

• Double check ehicle to mower attachment.

• Start mower engine and set throttle to “FAST” for best cutting performance.

• Slowly engage T-handle le er.

• Carefully mount ehicle and start mowing at a slow tra el speed.

STOPPING THE MOWING SESSION

• Bring tow ehicle to a complete stop, set the parking brake and disengage blades.

• Turn engines “OFF”.

• Always remember to remo e keys to a oid irresponsible usage.

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 ehicle in low gear and increased only as safe

mowing conditions permit. Mowing speed should not exceed 5 MPH.

• Better results occur when mowing areas with the least amount of growth.

Although your TrailMower will cut through dense areas of growth you will

experience increased horsepower while mowing areas of less growth.

• For a healthier lawn and better aesthetics, your lawn should be mowed often and

after moderate growth.

•

Mowing conditions and the types of grass will ary from place to place. You may

find when mowing dense areas that the pressure of the wheel tracks may cause the

grass to be pushed down and not effecti ely mowed. If this happens you may

want to mow the area twice. Once with the mower raised and the second mowing

at the desired height. The second mowing should be at a right angle from the

pre ious for best results.

• Reducing the tra el speed will help mow dense growth. This allows the blades

the time necessary to make its initial cut, and regain momentum to continue

cutting and discharging debris properly. The engine may stall if you are mowing

too fast!

•

Do not attempt to mow areas that the tow ehicle cannot maneu er through and/or

slopes that you do not feel comfortable riding.

GENERAL TROUBLE SHOOTING

The mower is not cutting le el.

• Le el deck, making sure the side crank-handles are equal.

• Check air pressure of all tires; make sure they are equal. See tires for maximum

inflation.

• Make certain blades are installed identical, without the engine running.

The engine will not start.

• Disengage blades, turn toggle switch to “OFF” position, check battery and all

other electrical connections, and inspect spark plug and wire (FIGURE THREE).

• 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.

Mower bounces excessi ely while towing.

• Lower tire pressure.

• Tow at a slower 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.
