and one going to frame wire loom. Plugs are located back of

will now lift clear. To replace body, reverse the above procedure.
Remember to reinstall switch ground wire on left rear transaxle body
mount screws.
CHAIN ADJUSTMENT
To adjust the drive chains, the body must be removed and shims
added behind the transaxle. Loosen 4 bolts which hold the transaxle
to the frame. Insert shims (Pt. No. 2221 or 2222) as needed for
adjustment between transaxle and mount plates. Tighten the 4 bolts
which hold the transaxle to the frame. A few drops of oil periodically
will lengthen
chain life. Replace chain when rollers become loose, chain breaks,
or chain fails to operate properly. WHEELS AND TIRES
Correct tire pressure is essential to correct operation of the mower.
The correct pressure for the drive tires is 14 -16 Ibs. Lug nuts
should be checked periodically. Front tires are semi-pneumatic and
do not require inflation. ELECTRICAL SYSTEMS
Keep all connections clean and tight. Maintain the fluid in the battery
at correct level.
BODY
The body may be washed with a mild detergent and waxed with any
automotive type wax.
ENGINE
Follow the manufacturer's instructions as to maintenance and
repair. A copy of these instructions are supplied with each
mower.
TRANSAXLE
For adjustment or repair confer with authorized Dixon dealer
service department. Adjustment or repair by other than
authorized dealer voids warranty.
