CHAIN ADJUSTMENT

To adjust the drive chains, the body must be removed and shims added behind the transaxle. Loosen 4 bolts which hold the transaxle to the frame. Insert shims (Pt. No. 1541) as needed for adjustment between transaxle and mount plates. Tighten the 4 bolts which hold the transaxle to the frame. A few drops of oil periodically will lengthen chain life. Replace chain when rollers become loose, chain breaks, or chain fails to operate properly.

WHEELS AND TIRES

Correct tire pressure is essential to the correct operation of the machine. The correct pressure for the drive tires is 8 -10 Ibs. The front tires should be inflated to 30-35 Ibs. Lug nuts should be checked periodically.

ELECTRICAL SYSTEMS

Keep all connections clean and tight. Maintain the fluid in the battery at correct level.

BODY

The body may be washed with a mild detergent and waxed with any automotive type wax.

ENGINE

Follow the manufacturer's instructions as to maintenance and repair.

TRANSAXLE

For adjustment or repair confer with authorized Dixon dealer service department. Adjustment or repair by other than authorized dealer voids warranty.

SERVICE LEGS

Service legs are located under the front end of the body of the unit. These legs serve as additional weight for the front end of the mower, and when lowered, give service access to the mower deck without having to remove this assembly.

2.Raise mower deck to top position.

3.For safety, support the service legs so that they will not fall. Loosen and remove the four nuts and two bottom plates from the U -bolts. Then remove the support and lower service legs to ground.
