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.
