CONTROLS
The Dixon ZTR has a unique transaxle that requires only two drive levers to
control braking, turning, speed and direction.
On initial operation, set throttle speed on slow. Operate with mower
blade in “OFF” position.
To avoid “over-controlling” the mower, use a light touch on the drive
levers.
Slight movements using fingertip control is all that is necessary.
PARKING BRAKE:
The parking brake is designed to hold the mower
from moving and is not intended for use in stopping the
mower while it is in motion.
Engage parking brake
before starting engine.
TO SET PARKING BRAKE:
The hand operated parking brake is located on the right
end of the mower.
To engage brake, pull lever up (to the rear).
To release brake, move lever forward (down).
NOTE: Always set parking brake before dismounting.
Release parking brake before moving mower.
TRANSMISSION DRIVE SYSTEM
Allows the mower to turn on its own axis “ZERO TURNING RADIUS”. Each lever
controls one side of the mower.
NOTE: The pressure required to operate the mower is very light.
