familiar with the instructions, to operate

the machine.

• Clear the area of objects such as rocks,

toys, wire, etc. which could be picked up

and thrown by the blade.

• Be sure the area is clear of other people

before mowing. Stop machine if anyone

enters the area.

• Ne er carry passengers.

• Do not mow in re erse unless absolutely

necessary. Always look down and behind

before and while backing.

• Be aware of the mower discharge

direction and do not point it at anyone.

Do not operate mower without the guards

in place.

• Slow down before turning.

• Ne er lea e a running machine

unattended. Always turn off blades and

stop engine.

• Turn off blades when not mowing.

• Mow only in daylight or good artificial

light.

• Do not operate the machine under the

influence of alcohol or drugs.

• Watch for traffic when operating near or

crossing roadways.

• Use extra care when loading or

unloading the machine into a trailer or

truck.

• Do not attempt to operate the tow ehicle

when not in the dri er’s seat

•

Disengage power to mower, stop engine

when transporting or not in use.

• Exercise special care when mowing

around fixed objects in order to pre ent

the blades from striking them. Ne er

deliberately run mower onto or o er any

foreign object.

• Use mower only as the manufacturer

intended and as described in the manual.

• Do not operate the mower if it has been

dropped or damaged in any manner.

Always ha e damage repaired before

• Always wear safety glasses or eye

shields when starting and while using

your mower.

• Dress properly. Do not operate mower

when barefoot or wearing open sandals.

Wear only solid shoes with good traction

when mowing.

• Always make cutting height adjustments

before starting your mower. Ne er

attempt to do this while the engine is

running.

•

Keep your eyes and mind on your mower

and the area being cut.

• Do not let other interests distract you.

• Do not put hands or feet near or under

rotating parts. Keep clear of the

discharge opening at all times.

• Before cleaning, inspecting, or repairing

your mower, stop the engine and make

absolutely sure the blade and all mo ing

parts ha e stopped. Then disconnect the

spark plug wire and keep it away from

the spark plug to pre ent accidental

starting.

• Do not operate your mower if it ibrates

indication of damage: stop the engine,

safely check for the cause of ibration

and repair as required.

• Ne er operate your mower without

proper guards, plates, or other safety

de ices in place.

II. Slope Operation

Slopes are a major factor related to loss-of-

control and tip o er ac

cidents, which can result in

se ere injury or death. All slopes require extra

caution. If you feel uneasy on it, do not mow it.

DO:

• Mow up and down slopes.

• Remo e obstacles such as rocks, tree

limbs, etc.

• Watch for holes, ruts or bumps. Une en

terrain could o erturn the machine. Tall

grass can hide obstacles.

• Use slow speed. Choose a low gear so

that you will not ha e to stop or shift

while on the slope.

• Keep all mo ement on the slopes slow

and gradual. Do not make sudden

changes in speed or direction.

• A oid starting or stopping on a slope. If

tires lose traction, disengage the blades

and proceed slowly straight down the

slope.

DO OT:

• Do not turn on slopes unless necessary,

and the turn slowly and gradually

downhill if possible.

• Do not mow near drop-offs, ditches or

embankments. The mower could

suddenly turn o er if a wheel is o er the

edge of a cliff or ditch, or if an edge

ca es in.

• Do not mow on wet grass. Reduced

traction could cause sliding.

III. Children

• Keep children out of the mowing area

and under the watchful care of another

responsible adult.

• Be alert and turn machine off if children

enter the area.

• Before and when backing, look behind

and down for small children.

• Ne er carry children. They may fall off

and be seriously injured or interfere with

safe machine operation.

• Ne er allow children to operate the

machine.

• Use extra card when approaching blind

corners, shrubs, trees or other objects

that may obscure ision.

IV. Service

fuels. They are flammable and apors are

explosi e.

o Use only an appro ed container.

o Ne er remo e gas cap or add fuel

with the engine running.

o Allow engine to cool before refueling.

Do not smoke.

o Ne er refuel the machine indoors.

Stopping

• Mo e blade clutch le er to disengage position.

• Turn key switch to the OFF position.

Attaching Mower to Tow Vehicle

• Place mower behind tractor and back tractor up

to it for attaching.

• Slide tow bar of mower o er tractor drawbar so

that holes line up.

• Insert hitch pin until it extends through the

bottom of the tow bar.

• Place safety latch o er end of the hitch pin. The

red tether is used to manually disengage the

blades in normal operation, and automatic

disengage the blades if the tow ehicle

becomes separated from the Trailmower.

• A black tether is used to manually engage the

blades of the Trailmower without lea ing the

operator position.

• It is important that you securely attach both

the blade engage and disengage tether to

the tow vehicle.

Transporting Your Mower

• Disengage blades.

• Shut off mower engine.

• Place mower deck in the highest cutting

position.

Starting to Mow

• Adjust mower cutting height.

• Start mower engine.

• Mo e throttle to RUN position.

• Mo e mower blade clutch le er to the engaged

position to start mower blades.

Mower Height Adjustment

• The mowing height range is approximately 1-

1/2 to 4-1/2 inches. The heights are measured

from the ground to the blade tip with the engine

not running.

• The a erage lawn should be cut to

approximately 2-1/2 inches during the cool

season and to o er 3 inches during hot months.

For healthier and better-looking lawns, mow

often and after moderate growth.

• For best cutting performance, grass o er 5

inches in height should be mowed twice. Make

the first cut relati ely high, the second to

desired height.

The operation of any mower can result in foreign objects being thrown into the

eyes, which can result in se ere eye damage. Always wear safety glasses or eye

shields before starting your mower and while mowing. We recommend wide ision

safety mask for o er the spectacles or standard safety glasses.

Caution:

Tragic accidents can occur if the operator is not alert to the presence of children.

Children are attracted to the machine and the mowing acti ity. Never assume that

children will remain where you last saw them.

Operating Your ew Mower

Caution:

Ne er operate this mower

without both safety tethers

securely attached to the tow

ehicle.

Caution:

Ne er operate the

mower without

both discharge chute co er in

place.

Caution:

Shut off mower and remo e

spark plug wire before making

any adjustments to the mower.

the

Cutting Height Adjustments

• Rotate height adjust crank handles (item #8

and #5 in fig. 4) in a clockwise direction to

raise the mower and in a counter-clockwise

direction to lower.

• Make sure that height adjustment is the same

on both sides of the mower, as indicated by

the graduated scales on the height

adjustment tubes.

• NOTE: Graduated scales are for reference

only.

Front to Back Adjustment

To obtain the best cutting results, the mower

housing

should be adjusted so that the front is approximately

¼” to ¾” lower that the rear. To check for front to

back adjustment, measure from the bottom edge of

the deck to the ground at both the front and rear of

the deck.

Tow Hitch Offset Assembly

This Trailmower has been designed to run offset from

the center of the tow ehicle to pro ide additional

cutting width. (Refer to fig. 2 for assembly

information)

• The adjustable tow hitch of this mower can

be assembled in se eral positions from

straight to 58” offset to either side.

• We recommend when towing with a tow

ehicle equipped with a mid mount mower to

offset the Trailmower to o erlap the cut of

the mid mount mower by 6”. This will need to

be adjusted depending on the type of terrain,

obstacles, and the tow ehicle being used.

• If your tow ehicle is not equipped with a mid

mount mower the hitch can be adjusted to a

straight position, but we recommend using

the offset position to eliminate grass being

crushed by the tow ehicle.

Tow Hitch Offset Assembly

• Please refer to figure 2 for the assembly of

the hitch bar.

Before Starting Engine

• Fill engine with oil. (See engine manual for

proper procedure and requirements.)

• Add gasoline. Fill tank using fresh clean

unleaded gasoline.

To Start Engine

•

Make sure spark plug wire is properly

connected.

•

Place throttle control in “Choke” position if the

engine is cold. A warm engine may not

require choking to start.

•

Turn key to start position. Release key

immediately when engine starts.

• When engine starts, mo e throttle control to

the “Run” position. (Full throttle)

• Allow engine to warm up for a few minutes

before engaging blades.

NOTE: If at high altitude (abo e 3000 ft) or in cold

temperatures (below 32° F), the carburetor fuel

mixture may need to be adjusted for best

performance. (See ser ice and adjustments

section of engine manual.)

Caution:

Shut off mower and remo e

spark plug wire before making

any adjustments to the mower.

Caution:

Shut off mower and remo e

spark plug wire before making

any adjustments to the mower.

Caution:

Fill to bottom of fuel tank filler

neck. Do not o erfill; wipe off

spilled oil or fuel. Do not store,

spill or use gasoline near open

flame

Caution:

Keep the blade clutch le er in

“Disengaged” position when

starting engine

Breaking in Your Mower

Break in your belts, pulleys, and engine before you

actually begin mowing.

• Start engine, engage blade control to start

blades rotating and allow blades to rotate for

approximately fi e minutes to break in mower

and engine.

Suggested Mowing Practices

• Mowing should be started with tractor in low

gear and speed increased only as mowing

conditions will safely permit. This speed

should not exceed 3-1/2 MPH.

• Better mowing results will be obtained in

grassy areas if they are mowed when the

grass is approximately 4-5” maximum height.

While your mower will cut grass taller than 5”,

you will experience a substantial increase in

the horsepower required and some change in

finished appearance of the area mowed.

• Mowing conditions will ary from place to

place, including the types of grass that are

being mowed, such as fine stalk, coarse

stalk, dense or sparse grasses. When

mowing tall grass, you may find that the

pressure of wheel tracks may cause certain

grasses to be pushed downward and will not

be mowed properly. If this condition exists,

you may ha e to mow the area twice, the first

mowing with the mower raised and the

second at the normal height you ha e

chosen. If it is practical, better results will be

found if the second mowing is at a right angle

in tra el to the pre ious mowing.

• Do not mow grass when it is wet. Wet grass

will accumulate under the mower deck and

lea e undesirable clumps. Allow grass to dry

before mowing.

• Always operate mower at full throttle when

mowing to assure better mowing

performance and proper discharge of

material. Regulate ground speed by selecting

a low enough gear to gi e the mower cutting

performance as well as the quality of cut

desired.

Caution:

Shut off mower and remo e

spark plug wire before making

any adjustments to the mower.

Caution:

Shut off mower and remo e

spark plug wire before making

any adjustments to the mower.

Caution:

Shut off mower and remo e

spark plug wire before making

any adjustments to the mower.

General Recommendations

The warranty on this Trailmower does not co er items

that ha e been subjected to operator abuse or

negligence. To recei e full alue from the warranty,

operator must maintain unit as instructed in this

manual.

Some adjustments will need to be made periodically

to properly maintain your unit.

All adjustments in the ser ice and adjustments

section of this manual should be checked at least

once each season.

Before Each Season

• Replace the spark plug.

• Clean or replace the air filter.

• Check blades and belts for wear.

A new spark plug and clean air filter assure

proper air-fuel mixture and help your engine run

better and last longer.

Before Each Use

• Check engine oil le el. (Do this twice to

ensure an accurate reading.)

• Check blade operation.

• Check for loose fasteners.

Daily Maintenance

Make sure all nuts and bolts are tight, cotter pins

and retainer clips are secure. Keep blades sharp.

Obser e all safety precautions.

Blade Care and Service

For best results, mower blades must be kept sharp.

The blades can be sharpened with a few strokes of a

file or on a grinding wheel. Do not attempt to sharpen

while on mower.

• To remo e blade for sharpening, use wooden

block to hold blade while remo ing the blade-

mounting nut. The nuts ha e right hand

threads.

• When grinding, care should be taken to

maintain blade balance and the blade should

be checked for proper balance before

reinstalling on mower.

• Check and balance. File material off hea ier

end of blade until it is balanced.

To ensure satisfactory operation, it is

recommended that before the start of each

mowing season, the old blades be discarded and

replaced with new blades.

OTE: Check nuts and blades occasionally to

make sure nuts are tight.

Cleaning the Mower

Water pressure from a garden hose will remo e fresh

clippings from the underside of the mower. Clean

mower after each use.

Repair Parts

Your Trailmower has been produced with

components designed for your unit. Although

standard V-belts, bearings, blades, pulleys, etc. may

look like parts used on your rotary mower, and while

similar in appearance, many are of a different

construction and could in some cases cause a

malfunction in the operation of the machine.

For continued satisfactory performance, use only

repair parts supplied by the manufacturer. See your

SWISHER dealer for replacment parts.

Caution:

Do not handle mower blades

with bare hands. Careless or

improper handling may result in

serious injury.

Caution:

Shut off mower and remo e

spark plug wire before making

any adjustments to the mower.
