FORWARD MOUNT

IMPORTANT - READ CAREFULLY

The Dixon® ZTR® Mower is both easy and fun to operate. However, any

power mower must be operated properly to be safe. It is not a toy or a recreational vehicle. Before you start to use the mower, read the operator's manual carefully and become completely familiar with the controls.

The information in this operator's manual applies to all Dixon® ZTR®

6000 Series Commercial Mowers. Your Dixon dealer will gladly answer any questions.

See your dealer for warranty service, parts and repairs.

SAFETY

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!

DO

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.

Use slow speed. Tires may lose traction on slopes even though the brakes are functioning properly.

Use extra care with grass catchers or other attachments. These can change the stability of the mower.

Keep all movement on the slopes slow and gradual. Do not make sudden changes in speed or direction.

Avoid starting or stopping on a slope. If tires lose traction, disengage the blades and proceed slowly down the slope.

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 near drop-offs, ditches, or embankments. The mower could suddenly turn over if a wheel is over the edge of a cliff or ditch, or if an edge caves in.

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

CHILDREN:

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 watchful 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.
