Dixon ZTR 5421 Manuel utilisateur

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 Model 5421 Mowers. Your

Dixon dealer will gladly provide a check-out ride, and answer any questions.

See your dealer for warranty service, parts and repairs.

SAFETY

RIDING LAWNMOWERS, IF IMPROPERLY OPERATED,

CAN CAUSE SERIOUS INJURY

The following examples are the most common causes of injury to the

operator or bystander...

1. BLADE CONTACT:

The operator or bystander inserts a hand or foot into the discharge chute

or under the mower deck and into the

path of the cutting blade. Never

run the mower blades when there are people nearby. Always turn the

engine off when cleaning or working around the mower deck.

2. RUN-OVER: This situation occurs when a bystander is run-

over or backed over by the

mower. The

most frequently cited examples are with small children who

wander into, or are allowed to play in an area where the mower is being

operated. Never run the mower blades when there are people nearby,

especially children. Young children should be indoors and

watched by

an adult. Always look behind you before backing up.

3. TIP-OVER:

This occurs when the mower tips over, usually sideways or to the rear.

This situation is due to operation of the mower on steep inclines or near

a drop-off. Mow across the slope

to slightly uphill. Mow slopes when

the grass is dry and watch for bumps, holes and other obstacles. Test

the slope with the blades off. A good rule of thumb is "Don't mow on a

slope you can't back up". Stay clear of drop-

offs, especially if they are

on the down side of a slope.

4. THROWN OBJECTS:

The fast spinning mower deck blade can strike stones or other objects

which can be hurled into the path of a

bystander. To prevent this from

happening, never remove the safety discharge chute from the mower

deck, or operate the mower when other people are around.

5. FIRES: Most accidents of this type occur during re-

fueling of the rnower or

placing the mower in a storage situation. The exhaust system and

related engine components operate at very high temperatures

which

can ignite any fuel spilled on or near them. Always allow the mower to

cool before re-fueling or placing in storage.

6. OPERATION BY

CHILDREN:

This mower is not a toy or a recreational vehicle. Never allow children

to operate the mower in any manner or to ride as a passenger.

NOTE:

The six examples are the most frequently cited injury causing situations. Please review

all the safety precautions outlined on the following pages prior to operation of the

mower. Our aim is to enhance the safe and satisfactory use of this product.

SAFETY

SAFETY REMINDERS: READ CAREFULLY BEFORE OPERATION

1. Wear appropriate, safe clothing when mowing -close fitting jeans or slacks and heavy leather

or safety shoes with rough soles. Never operate this mower with bare feet or open sandals.

2. Do not operate on wet or slippery grass.

3. Always mow at the slowest speed that will cut satisfactorily.

4. Keep hands and feet away from the blade at all times.

5. Keep persons clear of the discharge chute. Do not operate mower unless deflector is in place.

6. When mowing hills or slopes, use extreme caution. Reduce speed, do not make sudden starts,

stops or turns.

7. Always disengage blades before taking the mower across walks or objects that project above

the surface.

8. Stay alert for holes, rocks and roots in the terrain, and other hazards. Keep away from

drop-offs.

9. When the mower is not in use, turn the engine off and remove key. Never leave the engine

running unattended. Your Dixon mower is equipped with a weight-sensitive switch that kills the

engine when operator leaves the seat while blades are engaged.

Note: This important safety feature must be tested prior to each mowing. This may be done by starting

engine, engaging blades and then rising slightly from seat. If engine does not stop, see your

dealer for necessary repair.

10. Before adjusting or servicing your mower, turn off the engine and let it cool. Be sure all moving

parts are stopped. Never run the 5421 with the body open.

11. Never run the engine indoors; the fumes are dangerous.

12. Before backing your Dixon Mower; stop, turn around and look.

13. Handle gasoline with care -it is highly flammable.

A. Use approved gasoline container.

B. Never remove the fuel cap of, or add gasoline to, a running or hot engine, or

an engine that has not been allowed to cool after running. Never fill the tank

indoors and always clean up spilled gasoline.

C. Never store the mower, with gasoline in the tank, inside the building where

fumes may reach an open flame or spark. Allow the engine to cool before

storing in any enclosure.

SAFETY REMINDERS: (Continued)

14. Never lift lawnmower by the body, lift only by the frame.

15. Never carry passengers.

16. Use care when pulling loads or using heavy equipment.

A. Use ONLY approved drawbar hitch points.

B. Limit loads to those you can safely control.

C. Do not turn sharply. Use care when backing.

17. Watch out for traffic when crossing or near roadways.

18. Keep the mower in good operating condition, and keep safety devices in place and working.

19. Keep all nuts, bolts and screws tight to be sure the mower is in safe working condition.

20. To reduce fire hazard, keep the engine free of grass, leaves or excessive grease.

21. The mower should be stopped and inspected for damage after striking a foreign object or if it

starts vibrating, and any damage should be repaired before restarting and operating the mower.

22. When mowing, proceed as follows:

A. Mow only in daylight or in good artificial light.

Shut the engine off when removing the grass catcher or unclogging chute.

C. Check the blade mounting bolts for proper tightness at frequent intervals.

D. Never operate the machine when using medication or under the influence of alc

ohol

or drugs.
