PRE-DELIVERY SERVICE OF MOWER BY DEALER
The Wright Mower is shipped completely assembled and has been adjusted and tested at the factory.
However, due to the jostling of the shipping process and the delivery time lapse, the following items
need to be repeated again before starting the mower. After you have uncrated the mower, follow these
procedures in the order indicated:
• Remove spark plug wire from spark plug(s).
• Inspect the mower for any damage, unusual conditions or missing parts.
• Inspect the mower for all of its decals, especially the warning decals. There should be one blade
warning decal on each side of the deck, the “shield missing” decal under the blade belt cover, and
the dash decal.
• Check to ensure belt guard is in place before operation.
• Check (and fill if necessary) engine oil level according to the engine manufacturer’s recommendation.
• Check (and fill if necessary) hydraulic fluid level. Use fully SYNTHETIC oil: Mobil-1 15W-50.
• Check tire pressures. Adjust to recommended pressure. It should be even on both sides but the
recommended pressures are generally different for the front and rear tires.
• Remove the blade belt cover and check (adjust if necessary) all belt tensions according to
specifications in Owners Manual. DO NOT OVERTIGHTEN.
• Rotate the blade pulleys slightly to see if they all turn together. (Note: Clutch Brake will create some
resistance.)
• Lubricate all appropriate moving parts
• Reinstall the blade belt cover.
• Remove battery (if electric start version) from machine and fully charge (if necessary) in an open,
well-ventilated area according to the recommendations of the battery charger manual. The battery
is 12 volts. After fully charged, install on mower and attach battery cables, positive first (from
starter motor) and negative last (from ground).
• Fill fuel tank with regular unleaded gasoline. Open fuel valve located between fuel tank and engine.
• DO NOT START THE ENGINE AT THIS TIME. FOLLOW THE NEXT PROCEDURE BEFORE
STARTING. The hydraulic system MUST be checked for proper operation before allowing wheels
to operate on the ground.
• Set the rear of the machine on jack stands or blocks to raise rear wheels off the ground two or three
inches and check to be sure that the mower will not fall off the supports you devise. The stand(s)
must be able to secure the mower from rolling off or away during the next procedures. Check
under the mower deck for any debris or unusual conditions.
• With hand controls and speed control in the neutral position, apply the parking brake.
• Open the manual bypass valve on top of each pump a half-of-a-turn counterclockwise.
• Reattach spark plug wires to spark plugs.
• Before starting the engine, be ready to stop it if the wheels begin to turn with the brake on. (If this
happens, check that the manual bypass valve on top of each motor are open at least a half-of-aturn counterclockwise.)
• Start the engine according to the engine manufacturer’s recommendation. Let the engine run at low
RPM for several minutes to get the hydraulic fluid circulating through the pumps, etc. Release the
parking brake. Now gradually close the manual bypass valve on top of each pump one at a time,
and see if the wheels start to move. If the wheels move when the hand controls are in neutral
position, adjust the neutral adjustment allen screw located on each pump until they stop (use the
neutral adjust knob for older mowers). The manual bypass valve on top of each pump should now
be firmly closed. Now try moving the hand control levers, one at a time, to make the wheels move
in forward and backward rotation. Check to see if the wheels move forward and backward
according to position of the levers. If not, service the hand control system. If the wheels stop when
the hand controls are in the neutral position the parking brake should now be applied. Now check

•
if the parking brake locking system (if applicable) prevents the unit from being driven while
engaged. If not, service the parking brake locking system.
Before testing the blade clutch/brake operation, make sure the area is clear and there is nothing
vulnerable to possible thrown objects from under the mower. No one should be near the mower
deck or in its line of discharge at this or at any time. The discharge chute deflector should be in
the down position. Move the engine throttle control to its highest RPM speed setting.
Turn on the blade clutch switch. Run blades for a minute or so. Try engaging and disengaging the
blades a few times about 10 seconds apart. If the blades do not start and stop in a few seconds
each time, service the blade brake system. With the blades on, now try disengaging the OPC
switch to test the Operator Presence Control switch (OPC). The engine should die and the blades
should stop in several seconds. If not, service the OPC system. Try this a couple of times.
Disengage the blades, shut off the engine and remove the mower from the stand(s).
Drive the mower around on a level parking lot. It is recommended that the slower setting of the Speed
Adjustment be used. (See further in this manual for information on Speed Adjustment.) Check that
the mower drives in a straight line when both hand controls are at the full speed position. If not,
see further in this manual for information on tracking adjustment.
As you drive the mower, listen for any unusual noises and test for irregular operation and adjust or
service as necessary. Next, go over the safety information and operating procedures in this
manual with the customer. Instruct the customer in proper operation and observe the customer
during their initial operation on a level parking lot. Make sure the customer is familiar and
comfortable with the basic operation and use of the mower.
Dealer: Register the mower online. If unable to use the online registration process then follow
the instructions on the Product Registration Form and have the customer fill out his part of
the form. After the Product Registration Form is filled out and signed by the customer and
a representative from your dealership, please mail or fax it immediately (within 30 days
from date of retail purchase) to your Wright Commercial Products Distributor according to
the directions on the Form. Then give the customer his copy of the registration form and
then keep your copy and mail the remaining copies of the form to your Wright
Manufacturing Products Distributor. The limited warranty is not valid unless the mower is
registered and all of the above steps are taken. Remember, the purchaser is both your and
our customer and his satisfaction is very important. Thank you for supporting our
products.
The mower is now ready for delivery to your customer.

Affected:
All Wright power products
Situation:
Hydro-Gear, the hydraulic pump manufacturer, has
recommended 15W-50 Mobil-1 over the 10W-30 oil. The

there is some other specific reason to replace the hydraulic oil.
When the hydraulic oil is replaced it is recommended to use
Mobil-1 fully-synthetic 15W-50 oil.

Subject:
Units
Affected:
16460006 - Spring design change - Refer to Bulletin # 046
All Sentars with serial #’s between 19729 and 24886 – this
serial range is expanded from the range in Bulletin #046 to
include units produced with the failing spring.
Situation:
Refer to bulletin # 046. This is to communicate the design
change of the hydro idler spring (part # 16460006). This new
spring is a swivel-hook style spring and is painted Wright
Mower Orange color to differentiate it from other similar springs.
This change was necessitated by premature failure of the
previous spring version.
The Fix:
⇒ If Bulletin #046 has NOT been performed then perform the
work described using the NEWEST spring – part # 16460006.
⇒ If Bulletin #046 HAS been performed then replace the newly
installed spring with the newest swivel-hook style spring.

OPTIONAL WEIGHT BAR KIT FOR SENTAR SPORT
Subject:
An optional weight bar kit is available for the Sentar SPORT
model mowers
Part number: 93460062 – fits all current sizes of Sentar SPORT
Units
Affected:
ALL Sentar SPORT model mowers
Situation:
While the Sentar SPORT is well balanced it is an overall lighter
machine than the Sentar. Because of the lighter weight, The
Sentar SPORT has a greater tendency to be affected by
varying operator weights and driving styles. With this in mind a
weight bar option has been made available.
Weight bars are generally recommended for operators who are
beginners or not as experienced operating Wright mowers.
There are advantages and disadvantages of using weight bars.
Some of them are listed below.
ADVANTAGES of using a weight bar on a Sentar SPORT:
• Provides additional weight to help prevent the front end of
the mower from pulling up off of the ground without leaning
as far forward or standing as often when going up hill
• Permits the level of performance for heavier operators
similar to that with lighter operators who don’t use the weight
bar kit
DISADVANTAGES of using a weight bar on a Sentar SPORT:
• Diminished traction on the drive tires
• Front end of mower will have a greater tendency to pull
(pendulum effect) down the hill when mowing across a hill
• Drive wheels will have decreased traction when mower is
pointed down hill. There will be more unwanted tire slippage
when attempting to back up a hill
27
Bulletin # 048
Pages – 3 total
February 11, 2005
• Mower will have less responsive turning performance due to
a higher polar moment of inertia with additional weight far
forward of the zero turning point of machine
The Fix:
Depending on operator experience and preference, a weight
bar may be purchased and installed on the mower. The desire
for the weight bar will generally diminish as the operator
becomes more proficient with the operation of the mower
Claim
NONE
ADDITIONAL NOTES
Use of the optional weight bar is determined by the weight of the cutter deck of
the mower and the operator’s weight. For 36” cut mowers, operators over 175
pounds may prefer the optional weight kit. For 52” cut mowers, operators over
225 may prefer the optional weight kit. Remember it is recommended that
operators weigh at least 120 pounds and not more than 275 pounds. These are
general guidelines only. The mower function and comfort will vary depending on
mowing environment, operator driving style and preference.
OPERATION ON SLOPES AND HILLS
DO NOT operate on steep slopes. Do not operate the mower on slopes steeper
than you can feel secure about the traction of the tires and the stability of the
mower. Do not operate the mower on slopes at all when the grass is wet. There
is a danger of suddenly sliding sideways or down the hill. When operating on a
slope, travel across the grade whenever possible, not in an up or down pattern.
Reduce speed and exercise extreme caution on slopes and in sharp turns to
prevent tipping or loss of control. Be especially cautious when changing direction
on slopes.
28
Bulletin # 048
Pages – 3 total
February 11, 2005
• Always accelerate gently. Do not accelerate quickly to avoid “popping a
wheelie” or initiating a slide
• If backing down a hill, lean far forward or stand up and do not stop suddenly but
slow down gradually
• When backing on any terrain do not stop suddenly but slow down gradually
When operating:
UP A HILL – the operator should shift his or her weight and lean forward in the
seat or lean forward while standing
DOWN A HILL – the operator should shift his or her weight and lean rearward in
the seat away from the mower
ACROSS A HILL – the operator should shift his or her weight and lean towards
the uphill side of the mower

Affected:
All mowers with the die-spring loaded idler arm(s)
Situation:
This tool is designed to assist in maintaining compression on
the idler arm tension spring to aide in the removal and
reinstallation of the idler arm tension spring.
• The tool serves as a necessary tool specifically for all our
hydro pump idlers
• This tool will work on many but not all of the deck idlers. In
cases where it doesn’t work due to space and/or fit
constraints, the technician will be able to use other tools
such as Channel-Locs™ and a screwdriver to pry the spring
in or out

Belt Alignment, Pulleys, Bent Decks
• Smooth, debris free pulleys and belt alignment are crucial for long
belt life.
• Pulleys should be aligned with a tolerance of +/- 1/16” to each other.
• When belts are prematurely wearing out these need to be checked;
Pulley Alignment
Burrs on Spindle Pulleys
Burrs on Idler Pulleys
Idler Pulley Alignment / Belt Should Run in the Center of the Pulley
Seized or bad Idler Arm Bearings
Spindle Bearings
Bent Shafts on Pumps, Spindles, Idlers.
Engine Deck, Cutter Deck Bent.
• A bent deck will cause problems. Cut quality, step cutting, blowout,
are some symptoms of a bent deck.
• If consistent cut problems are occurring, check the following;
Check for Bent Spindle Shaft
Ensure Spindle Bearings Good
Line Blade Tips Together (should match up)
Measure Blade Tip from Bottom of deck to Blade

Deck Height Adjustments
Blade Adjustments and Height-of-Cut
Before Adjusting the Height-of-Cut be sure of proper air pressure in all four tires and check
for even tire wear. The height-of-cut can be adjusted the following ways:
• Coarse Adjustment: For the coarse adjustment the rear motor support (1), the front
caster arm (2) and the anti-tip rollers (3) should be adjusted at the same time. Adjust the
rear wheel motor supports equally in one of the three settings up or down 0.75" each in a
1.5" total range.
⇒ Use the middle holes in tractor frame for cutting heights of 2.5" - 3.75", factory
setting

Fine Adjustment: Adjust the blades equally in five settings up or down 0.25" each in a
1.25" total range. The shims on the blade bolts are moved from under the spindle to the
top of the spindle. If possible, leave at least one shim at the top and the bottom of the
spindle shaft.

CHECKING AND ADJUSTING
DECK ALIGNMENT AND PITCH
Alignment;
• Check and adjust tire pressure
• Set deck to 3”
• Measure top of deck to floor.
a) Trim side front___ Rear___
b) Discharge side front____ Rear____
• Both front measurements should be the same.
• Rear measurements should also be the same but 1/8-1/4”
higher than front measurement.
• Make necessary adjustments to level deck.
Pitch
• Set deck to 3”
• Align blade tip to face forward.
• Measure front blade tip to floor
• Measure back blade tip to floor.
• Perform these steps on each blade.
• Back blade tip should be 1/8” – 1/4" higher than the front blade
tip.
• Make necessary adjustments to ensure forward pitch.
