CARE & MAINTENANCE

ELECTRICAL SYSTEMS:

Keep all connections clean and tight.

CLEANING THE MOWER:

Wash mower periodically. Clean above and below deck.

High pressure washing and alkaline based soaps can cause damage to bearings and other parts of the mower. After washing your mower, start the engine and engage the mower deck for a few minutes to disperse any water that may have accumulated in bearings, pulleys or fans.

Note: Allow mower to cool before washing. If bearings are hot, they will draw moisture inside as they dry and cause corrosion.

SERIAL NUMBERS:

The serial number is located on frame at rear of engine.

WARRANTY:

Refer to warranty information (page 13).

PARTS/SERVICE:

See your Dixon dealer for replacement parts, warranty or service.
