OPERATING YOUR TRAILMOWER

INTENDED USE

This TrailMower is designed to produce a quality finish cut on lawns, golf courses, etc.

It is not designed to clear brush or cut saplings. Your TrailMower should be towed

behind an ATV, a golf cart, lawn tractor, or similar approved vehicle. It is not meant for

speeds exceeding 5 MPH.

ATTACHING TRAILMOWER TO TOW VEHICLE

• Place mower behind vehicle and back vehicle up to desired attaching position.

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

vehicle.

• Bolt swivel hitch (H10) to vehicle tow receiver.

• Attach tow hitch (661) to the swivel hitch with hitch pin (H11). Make certain

hitch pin goes completely through each piece and is clipped to prevent accidental

separation.

• Attach red safety tether (H9C) to both the towing vehicle and to the TrailMower

toggle switch (685SP), located on the throttle housing (6155). Its purpose is to

manually stop mower engine or to stop mower engine in case the two machines

become separated.

• It is extremely important the safety tether is secured properly to both the

toggle switch and the towing vehicle.

STARTING THE ENGINE

See engine manufacturer’s instructions for the type and amount of oil and fuel used.

TrailMowers with electric start engines will need a battery (sold separately). Swisher

recommends using a standard “U 1 R” lawn & garden battery.

• Engine must be level to accurately check and fill oil. Do not overfill.

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

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

wide-vision safety goggles over spectacles before staring any cutting machine and

while operating such a machine.

The operation of any cutter produces sound waves 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

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

•

Make sure the tow vehicle parking brake is set, mower is level, and blades are

disengaged.

• Check spark plug wire, oil, and fuel.

• Check all electrical connections (See Schematics).

• Make sure toggle switch is turned “ON” and the red tether is properly attached.

• Set engine idle to “CHOKE” position.

• With feet clear of mower deck, turn key switch to the “START” position; [ if unit is

equipped with 12 volt system ] release when engine begins to run.

• For units NOT equipped with electric start turn key to “ON” position and pull starter

Rope until engine starts.

• Set engine idle at desired RPM.

BREAKING IN YOUR MOWER

• Set vehicle parking brake or chock wheels to prevent accidental rolling.

• Start engine properly.

• Slowly, engage blade control.

• In a safe environment, i.e. no children, allow blades to rotate and engine to idle for 5

minutes. This breaks in the belts and the engine.

• Stop mower properly.

MOWER HEIGHT ADJUSTMENT

• Adjust while mower is not running.

• The cutting range is approximately 1.5” to 4.5”. The height has been measured from the

ground to the blade tip without the engine running.

• Rotate height adjust crank handles (H7N) in a clockwise direction to lift the mower deck.

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

• Make sure the height adjustment is the same at side crank handles. For best results, see

“SUGGESTED PRACTICE” section. Graduated scales are for reference only, not the

actual cutter height.

• Place crank handle in a retracted position to maintain height adjustment.

STARTING TO MOW

• Adjust the cutting height.

• Double check vehicle to mower attachment.

• Start mower engine properly.

• Slowly, activate the blade engage lever (681N) by rotating it forward and left until the

lever locks into place.

• Carefully mount tow vehicle and start mowing slowly.

STOPPING THE MOWING SESSION

• Pull safety tether to shut toggle switch “OFF”. If the engine fails to stop or if the safety

tether has become inoperable, then use Alternative Stopping Method.

CAUTION!

SHUT OFF MOWER ENGINE AND REMOVE SPARK PLUG WIRE FROM

SPARK PLUG BEFORE MAKING ANY ADJUSTMENTS TO THE MOWER.

ALTERNATIVE STOPPING METHOD

• Bring vehicle to complete stop, shut off engine, and set parking brake.

• Disengage blade engage lever (681N).

• Manually shut toggle and key switches to their “OFF” positions.

• Always remember to remove keys to avoid irresponsible usage.

TRANSPORTING MOWER

• Stop mower properly.

• Place mower deck in its highest position.

• If transporting unattached from tow vehicle, then remove spark plug wire and

place where it cannot contact the spark plug.

SUGGESTED MOWING PRACTICES

• Operate mower engine at full throttle to assure the best cutting performance and

maximum material discharge.

• Allow wet grass to dry. Clumps of wet grass will collect under the mowing deck.

• Mowing should be started with tow vehicle in low gear and increased only as safe

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

• The average lawn should be cut to approximately 2.5” during the cool season and

to over 3” during the hot months.

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

after moderate growth.

• When cutting high or dense grass areas go slowly. Some areas may need to be

mowed twice. The second cut should be at 90 degrees to the first, if possible.

• Mowing thick or high grass. Raise rear height crank handle to .5”-.75” above

the other two handles.

• Creating a manicured lawn. Lower rear height crank handle to .25”-.5” below

front of deck. This allows grass blades to be cut twice. It also continually cuts

clippings to produce a mulching effect.

GENERAL TROUBLE SHOOTING

• The mower is not cutting level.

o Level deck, making sure the side crank-handles are equal.

o Check air pressure of all tires; make sure they are equal (about 15-18 psi).

o Examine blades for damage, while mower engine is not running.

• The engine will not start.

o Disengage blades, turn toggle switch to “ON” position, check battery and

all other electrical connections, and inspect spark plug and wire.

o Check for fuel in the engine.

• Engine runs poorly.

o See engine manual.

o Check throttle adjuster.

o Replace fuel, clean fuel filter and fuel line.

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.

MOWER MAINTENANCE

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 maintain your unit properly.

All adjustments in this manual should be checked at least once each season.

BEFORE EACH USE

• Check engine oil level on a level surface. (Check twice to insure an accurate reading.)

• Check condition of air filter; clean and replace as necessary.

• Check blade operation; keep blades in good condition.

• Check for loose fasteners and tighten them as needed.

AFTER EACH USE

• Keep blades sharp.

• Remove fresh grass clippings with garden hose.

• Grass clippings can harden to the underside should be scraped out with a putty knife.

• Keep fluids at proper levels.

• Cover unit to prevent rain or other debris build-up. Definitely cover the engine.

BEFORE AND/OR AFTER EACH SEASON

• Replace the spark plug.

• Clean or replace the air filter.

• A new spark plug and clean air filter assure proper air-fuel mixture and help your engine run better and

last longer.

• Check blades and belts for wear. Replace as necessary.

STORAGE RECOMMENDATIONS

CAUTION! Do not store engine indoors or other poorly ventilated area. Keep engine away from gas

appliances where fumes could contact open flame, pilot lights, or sparks.

If engine is to be stored for 30 or more days, prepare unit as follows:

• Drain fuel outside into an approved container.

• Start engine properly and run until unit is out of fuel.

• Let engine cool.

• Remove remaining gasoline from carburetor and fuel tank to prevent gum deposits from forming

within the engine. Gum deposits can cause malfunction in the engine.

• Store mower with blades disengaged to prevent belts from being permanently stretched.

BLADE CARE AND SERVICE

For best results cutter blades must be kept sharp. The blades can be sharpened with a few strokes of a file or

grinding wheel. Do not attempt to sharpen blades while they are on the cutter. Disconnect spark plug wire

before servicing unit.

Important: Replace blades that have been damaged or deeply nicked.

Important: Check blade and spindle hardware on a regular basis to make sure nuts are tight.

Only a qualified mechanic should be used for any

adjustments, disassembly or other kind of repairs.
