Dixon 14295-1005 manual Transmission Drive System, Towing Trailers and Other Attachments

CONTROLS

The Dixon® ZEETER™ has a unique transaxle that requires only two drive levers to control braking, turning, speed and direction.

On initial operation set throttle speed to slow. Operate with mower blade in “OFF” position.

To avoid “over-controlling” the mower, use a light touch on the drive levers.

Slight movements using fingertip control is all that is necessary.

TRANSMISSION DRIVE SYSTEM

Allows the mower to turn on its own axis “ZERO TURNING RADIUS”. Each lever controls one side of the mower.

Note: The pressure required to operate the mower is very light.

TOWING TRAILERS AND OTHER

ATTACHMENTS:

Towing a trailer or other attachment that is too heavy could damage the drive or cause the mower to become unstable. Limit loads to 250 pounds or less with this mower.
