TROUBLESHOOTING
MOWER CUT QUALITY:
There are many variables that can effect the cut quality of any mower. Type and conditions of
grass, cut height setting, engine RPM and ground speed are some of the variables that interact
creating differences in cut quality. Examination of one or more of the above will generally produce
a quality cut.
The Troubleshooting 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.
