Foreword 

Welcome to the progressive group of mowing professionals who use Wright mowers.  We are focused 
on giving you advanced engineering and quality construction in each mower we build. 
 
This manual explains the features and promotes safer use of the mower.  Please read it and follow the 
instructions carefully so that you can have many years of productive mowing. 
 
For service, remember that your Wright dealer knows your mower best and is interested in your 
satisfaction.  He can provide you with quality maintenance and other assistance that you may need. 
 
Please give this manual to anyone who may use the mower for them to study before they operate it.  
Give the manual to anyone to whom you may sell the mower in the future.  It is important that the next 
owner receive this information also. 
 
As Wright Manufacturing, Inc. is constantly seeking ways to improve its products, the mower you have

product improvement, Wright reserves the option to make changes at any time without notice.
