SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
BEFORE MOWING:
1. Discuss proper maintenance with your Dixon dealer, to
save money and prevent injury. Consult your dealer be -
fore removing any parts.
2. Don't allow anyone to operate your Dixon mower without
proper instruction. Young children should never be al-
lowed to operate any power mower, riding or walking.
3. Before mowing, pick up all debris — particularly stones
and sharp objects.
4. Before starting the engine, make sure the gas cap is in
place.
DURING MOWER OPERATION
1. The revolutionary Dixon mower attracts many admiring
neighbors. But when mowing, all persons — especially
children — and pets should be cleared from the mowing
area.
2. Wear appropriate, safe clothing when mowing — close-
fitting jeans or slacks and heavy leather or safety shoes
with rough soles. Never use any kind of mower with bare
feet or open sandals, not even an old push-type model!
3. When grass is wet or slippery, do not use any riding mower.
4. Always mow at the slowest speed that will cut satisfactorily.
5. Keep hands and feet away from the blade at all times.
6. Although the Dixon mower is equipped with a missile
deflector which directs downwards all blade propelled
objects, keep persons clear of the discharge chute.
7. Your Dixon mower is very stable because of its low center
of gravity and weight biased to the rear; however, caution
should be exercised when mowing hills or slopes with any
mower.
8. Always disengage blades before taking the mower
