CONTROLS
The Dixon ZTR 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 and operate with mower blade "OFF".
To avoid
movements using fingertip control is all that is necessary.
All controls are described from operators position:
PARKING BRAKE:
The parking brake used on the 3000 Series Models is designed to hold the mower from moving and is not intended for use in stopping the mower while it is in motion.
NOTE: Engine cannot be started unless the brake is applied.
Dp not leave engine running for extended periods of time without the parking brake engaged. Damage to the drive system could result.
TO SET PARKING BRAKE:
The hand operated parking brake is located at right hand side of mower.
To engage brake, pull lever up and to the rear. To release brake,
move lever forward and down.
NOTE: Always set parking brake before dismounting. Release
parking brake before moving mower.
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.
A minimum of 1/2 hour should be spent simply driving the mower without the blade drive engaged.
