CARE AND MAINTENANCE - MODEL 560
This portion of the Model 560 owners manual deals with normal service items which can be performed by the owner. Please remember that if you are in doubt as to the correct service procedures to be followed, these and other service situations can be handled by a Dixon ZTR Dealer who is familiar with the service of your mower.
NOTE: Due to the precision nature of the hydrostatic transmissions used on the Model 560, internal service repairs cannot be recommended. Current service requirements will necessitate replacement of an entire hydro unit if failure should occur.
