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.
