TROUBLE SHOOTING

MOWER CUT QUALITY:

There are many variables that can effect the cut quality of any multi blade mower. Type and condition of grass, ground speed, blade speed, and conditions are some of the variables that interact creating differences in cut quality results. In most cases, a smooth, even cut will be achieved without further adjustment.

The Trouble Shooting Chart suggests practices and adjustments that may be helpful in improving cut quality. Your Dixon ZTR Dealer is also available to provide assistance to you.
