Safety Rules

Safe Operation Practices for Trailmowers

Important: This cutting machine is capable of

amputating hands and feet, and throwing

objects. Failure to observe safety

instructions could result in serious injury or

death.

I. General Operation

• Read, understand, and follow all

instructions in the manual and on the

machine before starting.

• Read this operator’s manual carefully.

Become familiar with the controls and

know how to operate your mower

properly.

• Only allow responsible adults, who are

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.

• Never carry passengers.

• Do not mow in reverse 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.

• Never leave 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 vehicle

when not in the driver’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 prevent

the blades from striking them. Never

deliberately run mower onto or over 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 have damage repaired before

using your mower.

• 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. Never

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 moving

parts have stopped. Then disconnect the

spark plug wire and keep it away from

the spark plug to prevent accidental

starting.

• Do not operate your mower if it vibrates

abnormally. Excessive vibration is an

indication of damage: stop the engine,

safely check for the cause of vibration

and repair as required.

• Never operate your mower without

proper guards, plates, or other safety

devices in place.

II. Slope Operation

Slopes are a major factor related to loss-of-

control and tip over ac

cidents, which can result in

severe injury or death. All slopes require extra

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

DO:

• Mow up and down slopes.

• Remove obstacles such as rocks, tree

limbs, etc.

• Watch for holes, ruts or bumps. Uneven

terrain could overturn the machine. Tall

grass can hide obstacles.

• Use slow speed. Choose a low gear so

that you will not have to stop or shift

while on the slope.

• Keep all movement on the slopes slow

and gradual. Do not make sudden

changes in speed or direction.

• Avoid starting or stopping on a slope. If

tires lose traction, disengage the blades

and proceed slowly straight down the

slope.

DO NOT:

• 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 over if a wheel is over the

edge of a cliff or ditch, or if an edge

caves 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.

• Never carry children. They may fall off

and be seriously injured or interfere with

safe machine operation.

• Never allow children to operate the

machine.

• Use extra card when approaching blind

corners, shrubs, trees or other objects

that may obscure vision.

IV. Service

• Use extra care handling gasoline and other

fuels. They are flammable and vapors are

explosive.

o Use only an approved container.

o Never remove gas cap or add fuel

with the engine running.

o Allow engine to cool before refueling.

Do not smoke.

o Never refuel the machine indoors.

o Never store the machine or fuel

container where there is an open

flame, such as a gas water heater.

• Never run a machine inside a closed area.

• Keep nuts and bolts, especially blade

attachment nuts, tight and keep equipment in

good condition.

• Never tamper with safety devices. Check

their proper operation regularly.

• Keep machine free of grass, leaves, or other

debris build-up. Clean oil or fuel spillage.

Allow machine to cool before storing.

• Stop and inspect the equipment if you strike

an object. Repair if necessary before

restarting.

• Mower blades are sharp and can cut. Wrap

the blade(s) or wear gloves, and use extra

caution when servicing them.

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 activity. Never

assume that children will remain

where you last saw them.

Look for this symbol to point out

important safety precautions. It

means CAUTION!!! BECOME

ALERT!!! YOUR SAFETY IS

INVOLVED!!!

Caution:

Always disconnect spark plug

wire and place it where it cannot

contact the spark plug in order to

prevent accidental starting when

setting up, transporting, adjusting

or making repairs.

And then turn slowly and gradually

Use extra care when approaching blind

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 vehicle to provide additional

cutting width. (Refer to fig. 2 for assembly

information)

• The adjustable tow hitch of this mower can

be assembled in several positions from

straight to 58” offset to either side.

• We recommend when towing with a tow

vehicle equipped with a mid mount mower to

offset the Trailmower to overlap 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 vehicle being used.

• If your tow vehicle 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 vehicle.

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, move 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 (above 3000 ft) or in cold

temperatures (below 32°F), the carburetor fuel

mixture may need to be adjusted for best

performance. (See service and adjustments

section of engine manual.)

Caution:

Shut off mower and remove

spark plug wire before making

any adjustments to the mower.

Caution:

Shut off mower and remove

spark plug wire before making

any adjustments to the mower.

Caution:

Fill to bottom of fuel tank filler

neck. Do not overfill; wipe off

spilled oil or fuel. Do not store,

spill or use gasoline near open

flame

Caution:

Keep the blade clutch lever 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 five 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 vary 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 have to mow the area twice, the first

mowing with the mower raised and the

second at the normal height you have

chosen. If it is practical, better results will be

found if the second mowing is at a right angle

in travel to the previous mowing.

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

will accumulate under the mower deck and

leave 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 give the mower cutting

performance as well as the quality of cut

desired.

Caution:

Shut off mower and remove

spark plug wire before making

any adjustments to the mower.

Caution:

Shut off mower and remove

spark plug wire before making

any adjustments to the mower.

Caution:

Shut off mower and remove

spark plug wire before making

any adjustments to the mower.

General Recommendations

The warranty on this Trailmower does not cover items

that have been subjected to operator abuse or

negligence. To receive full value 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 service 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 level. (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.

Observe 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 remove blade for sharpening, use wooden

block to hold blade while removing the blade-

mounting nut. The nuts have 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 heavier

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.

NOTE: Check nuts and blades occasionally to

make sure nuts are tight.

Cleaning the Mower

Water pressure from a garden hose will remove 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 remove

spark plug wire before making

any adjustments to the mower.
