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 this Operator’s Manual carefully. It contains valuable information that is necessary for the safe operation of the machine. Observe all safety rules and become completely familiar with the controls.

The information contained in this manual applies to all Dixon® ZTR® RAM Series mowers.

See your authorized Dixon® dealer for warranty service, parts and repairs or to answer any questions you may have about your new Dixon® ZTR®.
