•  Know the controls and how to stop quickly. 

•  Before attempting to start the engine, follow all 

starting instructions below and in the engine 
operator’s manual. 

•  Look behind before backing up. 

•  Before leaving the operator’s position, even  

momentarily, turn off the blade clutch 
engagement switch and apply the parking 
brake.  Keep others from coming near the 
mower.  Get back on the mower as soon as 
possible. 

•  When leaving the Wright mower unattended, turn off 

the blade clutch engagement switch, apply the 
parking brake, stop the engine and remove the 
key.  Never leave the machine unattended on a 
slope in case someone disengages the parking 
brake which would be hazardous if the mower 
were to roll. 

•  When transporting, driving onto transport vehicles, 

into buildings, across parking lots or otherwise 
not mowing grass, turn off the blade clutch 
engagement switch to reduce risk of thrown 
objects and rotating blade hazard.  After coming 
to a stop apply the parking brake, stop the 
engine and remove the key. 

•  Before performing any maintenance or repair 

service, disengage power to blades, apply the 
parking brake, stop the engine, remove ignition 
key and spark plug wire from spark plug(s). 

•  All operators of this mower should exercise caution 

when driving this mower at high speeds.  
Sudden stops from excessive speeds may 
cause serious injury. 

•  DO NOT allow inexperienced people to operate the 

mower until they have read and understood 
these safety instructions.  Operate the mower at 
slower speeds while becoming familiar with it. 

•  The grass discharge chute deflector must be 

installed at all times and in the down position 
except that it may be raised when the grass 
catcher is completely installed or a mulch kit is 
completely installed. 

•  If the mower discharge clogs, turn off the blade 

clutch switch, apply the parking brake, stop the 
engine and remove the key before removing 
obstruction. 

•  Keep all shields and covers in place, especially 

grass discharge chute deflector and the blade 
belt covers. 

•  Keep hands, feet and clothing away from rotating 

parts, especially the rear wheels, blades, engine 
flywheel, belts and pulleys. 

•  Do not touch engine or muffler while engine is 

running or soon after it is stopped.  These areas 
can be so hot as to cause severe burns. 

•  Clean grass, leaves and lubricant spills from 

surfaces after use to prevent fire hazard. 

•  Be alert for traffic when crossing roads or operating 

near roadways. 

•  Before climbing curbs, crossing gravel drives, 

sidewalks or roads, turn off the blades, lift them 
into transport position, and wait for them to stop. 

 
 

    

 
 
 

Use of parts other than specified parts supplied by 
Wright Manufacturing, Inc. may compromise the safe 
use of the mower, are not recommended and their use 
could void the warranty. 
 
 

    

 
 
 

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.  Heavier 
operators may consider obtaining the optional weight 
bar which is designed to add weight to the front of the 
machine. 
 
When pointing up a slope, the Sentar has the most 
weight on the drive wheels and therefore the most 
traction at the tires.  However, this is the angle that it 
has the most tendency to tip back (“pop a wheelie.”)  
This is the preferred angle for mowing small areas of 
steeper slopes. 
 
Recommendations for this angle: 
•  Lean as far forward as possible and stand if 

necessary to add your weight to the front of the 
mower. 

•  Accelerate gently.  Do not accelerate quickly to 

avoid “popping a wheelie”. 

•  If backing down the hill, do not stop suddenly but 

slow down gradually. 

 
When pointing down a slope, the Sentar has the 
least weight on the rear drive wheels and therefore 
the least traction at the tires.  This is the angle that the 
mower has the most tendency to slide.  However, this 
is the angle that it has the least tendency to tip back.
