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 the operator's manual carefully, and become completely familiar with the controls.

The information in this operator's manual applies to all

Dixon® ZTR® 4500 Series Model Mowers.

Your Dixon dealer will gladly provide a check-out ride,

and answer any questions.

See your dealer for warranty service, parts and repairs.
