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.
•
•
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.
I.
General Operation

•
•
•
•
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.

not
running.
The average lawn should be cut to
approximately 2-1/2 inches during the cool
season and to over 3 inches during hot months.
For healthier and better-looking lawns, mow
often and after moderate growth.
For best cutting performance, grass over 5
inches in height should be mowed twice. Make
the first cut relatively high, the second to
desired height.

To Start Engine
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)
Caution:
Keep the blade clutch lever in
“Disengaged” position when
starting engine
•
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.
•
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.
•
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.
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.)

Breaking in Your Mower
Suggested Mowing Practices
•
Break in your belts, pulleys, and engine before you
actually begin mowing.
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.
•
Start engine, engage blade control to start
blades rotating and allow blades to rotate for
approximately five minutes to break in mower
and engine.
•
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.
Caution:
Shut off mower and remove
spark plug wire before making
any adjustments to the mower.
•
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.
Caution:
Shut off mower and remove
spark plug wire before making
any adjustments to the mower.
Caution:
•
Do not mow grass when it is wet. Wet grass
Shut off mower and remove
spark plug wire before making
any adjustments to the mower.
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.

Mower Maintenance
General Recommendations
•
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.
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.
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.
All adjustments in the service and adjustments
section of this manual should be checked at least
once each season.
Before Each Season
NOTE: Check nuts and blades occasionally to
make sure nuts are tight.
•
Replace the spark plug.
Clean or replace the air filter.
Check blades and belts for wear.
•
•
Caution:
A new spark plug and clean air filter assure
proper air-fuel mixture and help your engine run
better and last longer.
Shut off mower and remove
spark plug wire before making
any adjustments to the mower.
Before Each Use
•
Check engine oil level. (Do this twice to
ensure an accurate reading.)
Check blade operation.
Check for loose fasteners.
Cleaning the Mower
Water pressure from a garden hose will remove fresh
clippings from the underside of the mower. Clean
mower after each use.
•
•
Daily Maintenance
Repair Parts
Make sure all nuts and bolts are tight, cotter pins
and retainer clips are secure. Keep blades sharp.
Observe all safety precautions.
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.
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.
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.
