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 Model 502 Mowers. Your Dixon dealer will gladly provide a check-out ride, and answer any questions.
