TROUBLE SHOOTING
MOWER CUT QUALITY:
There are many variables that can effect the cut quality of any multi blade
mower. Type and condition of grass, ground speed, blade speed, and conditions
are some of the variables that interact creating differences in cut quality
results. In most cases, a smooth, even cut will be achieved without further
adjustment.
The Trouble Shooting Chart suggests practices and adjustments that may be
helpful in improving cut quality. Your Dixon ZTR Dealer is also available to
provide assistance to you.
