Congratulations
Thank you for purchasing a Dixon ride-on mower.
This machine is built for superior efficiency to
rapidly mow primarily large areas. A control panel
easily accessible to the operator and a hydrostatic
transmission regulated by steering controls both
contribute to the machine’s performance.
This manual is a valuable document. Read the
contents carefully before using or servicing the
machine. The following of instructions (use, service,
maintenance, etc.) by all who operate this machine
is important for the safety of the operator and others.
It can also considerably increase the life span of the
machine and increase its resale value.
If you sell your machine, be sure to give the operator’s
manual to the new owner.
The final chapter of this operator’s manual provides a
Service Journal. Ensure that service and repair work
are documented. A well-kept service journal reduces
service costs for the maintenance and affects the
machine’s resale value. Please contact your dealer for
more information. Take the operator’s manual along
when the machine is taken to your dealer for service.
General
In this operator’s manual, left and right, backward and
forward are used in relation to the machine’s normal
driving direction.

transporting on public roads. If the machine is
transported, you must always use approved fastening
equipment and ensure that the machine is well

roadways.
Towing
If machine is equipped with a tow hitch, use extreme
caution when towing. Never allow children or others in

limits for towed equipment. Do not tow near ditches,
canals, and other hazards.
