IMPORTANT - READ CAREFULLY

The Dixon® ZEETER® 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 contained in this manual applies to all Dixon® ZEETER® Mowers. Your Dixon dealer will gladly answer any questions.

See your dealer for warranty service, parts and repairs.
