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 on 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.

PARKING BRAKE:

The parking brake is designed to hold the mower from moving and is not intended for use in stopping the mower while it is in motion.

Engage parking brake before

C A U T I O N starting engine.

TO SET PARKING BRAKE:

The hand operated parking brake is located on the right side of the mower.

To engage brake, pull lever up (to the rear).

To release brake, move lever forward (down).

NOTE:	Always set parking brake before
	dismounting. Release parking brake
	before moving mower.
