GENERAL MAINTENANCE

Proper maintenance and adjustment of your Dixon® WalkAbout™mower is necessary to keep the mower in good and safe condition. The maintenance of the mower is the responsibility of the owner/operator and must be performed at regular intervals. When replacing any parts of servicing your mower, be sure to use only genuine Dixon® WalkAbout™ mower replacement parts to assure quality and performance of your mower.

DANGER: BEFORE MAKING ANY ADJUSTMENTS AND/OR SERVICING YOUR MOWER, MAKE SURE THE MOWER IS ON LEVEL GROUND, BLADES DISENGAGED, KEY REMOVED, AND THE ENGINE OFF WITH THE SPARK PLUG WIRE(S) REMOVED FROM THE SPARK PLUGS(S) TO PRE- VENT ACCIDENTAL CONTACT. IF ADJUSTMENT OR MAINTENANCE IS BEING PERFORMED AFTER OPERATION OF THE MOWER, ALLOW THE UNIT TO COOL SINCE HEAT BUILD UP COULD CAUSE SEVERE BURNS.
