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 "OFF".

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.

CAUTION

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.
