GENERAL OPERATION:

• Read, understand, and follow all instructions in the manual and on the mower before starting.

• Only allow responsible adults, who are familiar with the instructions, to operate the mower.

• Clear the area of objects such as rocks, toys, wire, etc., which could be picked up and thrown by the

blade.

• Be sure the area is clear of other people before mowing. Stop mower if anyone enters the area.

• Never carry passengers.

• Do not mow in reverse unless absolutely necessary. Always look down and behind before and

whilebacking.

• Be aware of the mower discharge direction and do not point it at anyone. Do not operate the

mower without either the entire grass catcher or the deflector in place.

• Slow down before turning.

• Never leave a running mower unattended. Always turn off blades, set parking brake, stop engine,

and remove key before dismounting.

• Turn off blades when not mowing.

• Stop engine before removing grass catcher or unclogging chute.

• Mow only in daylight or good artificial light.

• Do not operate the mower while under the influence of alcohol or drugs.

• Watch for traffic when operating near or crossing roadways.

• Use extra care when loading or unloading the mower into a trailer or truck. Do not ride the mower

when loading & unloading.

• Always wear safety goggles or safety glasses with side shields when operating mower.

• Data indicates that operators, age 60 years and above, are involved in a large percentage of riding

mower-related injuries. These operators should evaluate their ability to operate the riding mower

safely enough to protect themselves and others from serious injury.

• Follow the manufacturer's recommendation for wheel weights or counterweights.

•Maintain or replace safety and instruction labels, as necessary.

SLOPE OPERATION:

Slopes are a major factor related to loss-of-control and tip-over accidents,

which can result in severe injury or death.

All slopes require extra caution.

If you cannot back up the slope or if you feel uneasy on it, do not mow it!

Mow across the slope with your Dixon ZTR - never up or down.

Remove obstacles such as rocks, tree limbs, etc.

Watch for holes, ruts or bumps. Uneven terrain could overturn the mower. Tall grass can hide

obstacles.

If front wheels lift off the ground, pull the levers back to stabilize the mower.

DO NOT

Do not turn on slopes unless necessary, and then, turn slowly and gradually downhill, if possible.

Do not mow on wet grass. Reduced traction could cause sliding.

Do not try to stabilize the mower by putting your foot on the ground.

Do not use grass catcher on steep slopes.

SAFETY

Tragic accidents can occur if the operator is not alert to the

presence of children.

Children are attracted to lawn mowers and the mowing

activity.

NEVER assume children will stay where they were last seen.

Be alert to avoid accidents.

• Keep children out of the mowing area and under the watch-

ful care of another responsible adult.

• Be alert and turn mower off if a child enters the area.

• Before and during backing, look behind and DOWN for small

children.

• Never carry children. They may fall off and be seriously

injured or interfere with safe mower operation.

• Never allow children to operate the mower.

• Use extra care when approaching blind corners, shrubs,

trees, or other objects that may obscure vision.

CHILDREN:

SAFETY

SERVICE:

• Use extra care in handling gasoline and other fuels. They are

flammable and vapors are explosive.

Use only an approved container.

Never remove gas cap or add fuel with the engine running. Allow

engine to cool before refueling. Do not smoke.

Never refuel the mower indoors.

Never store the mower or fuel container inside a building where

there is an open flame,

If fuel is spilled on clothing, change clothing immediatley.

To prevent fire and explosion caused by static electricity:

Never fill containers inside a vehicle or on a truck or trailer bed

with a plastic liner. Always place containers on the ground

away from your vehicle before filling.

When practical, remove gas-powered equipment from the truck

or trailer and refuel it on the ground. If this is not possible,

then refuel such equipment on a trailer with a portable

container, rather than from a gasoline dispenser nozzle.

If a gasoline dispenser nozzle must be used, keep the nozzle in

contact with the rim of the fuel tank or container opening

at all times until fueling is complete. Do not use a nozzle lock-open

device.

• Never run a mower inside a closed area. The exhaust fumes are

toxic.

• Keep nuts and bolts tight, especially blade attachment bolts,

and keep equipment in good condition.

• Never tamper with safety devices. Check their proper operation

regularly.

• Keep mower free of grass, leaves, or other debris buildup.

Clean up oil or fuel spillage. Allow mower to cool before storing.

• Stop and inspect the equipment if you strike an object. Repair,

if necessary, before restarting.

• Never make adjustments or repairs with the engine running.

• Grass catcher components are subject to wear, damage, and

deterioration, which could expose moving parts or allow objects to be

thrown. Frequently check components and replace with original equip-

ment parts, when necessary.
