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®8000

Series DieselVersion Commercial Mowers. Your Dixon dealer will gladly answer

any questions.

See your dealer for warranty service, parts and repairs.

SAFETY

GENERALOPERATION:

• Read, understand, and follow all instructions in the manual and on the mower before starting.

• Only allow responsible adults, who are familiar with the instructions, to operate the mower.

• Clear the area of objects such as rocks, toys, wire, etc., which could be picked up and thrown by the blade.

• Be sure the area is clear of other people before mowing. Stop mower if anyone enters the area.

• Never carry passengers.

• Do not mow in reverse unless absolutely necessary. Always look down and behind before and while

backing.

• Be aware of the mower discharge direction and do not point it at anyone. Do not operate the mower

without either the entire grass catcher or the deflector in place.

• Slow down before turning.

• Never leave a running mower unattended. Always turn off blades, set parking brake, stop engine, and

remove key before dismounting.

• Turn off blades when not mowing.

• Stop engine before removing grass catcher or unclogging chute.

• Mow only in daylight or good artificial light.

• Do not operate the mower while under the influence of alcohol or drugs.

• Watch for traffic when operating near or crossing roadways.

• Use extra care when loading or unloading the mower into a trailer or truck. Do not ride the mower when

loading & unloading.

• Always wear safety goggles or safety glasses with side shields when operating mower.

• Data indicates that operators, age 60 years and above, are involved in a large percentage of riding mower-

related injuries. These operators should evaluate their ability to operate the riding mower safely enough

to protect themselves and others from serious injury.

• Follow the manufacturer's recommendation for wheel weights or counterweights.

•Maintain or replace safety and instruction labels, as necessary.

WARNING: The engine exhaust from this product contains chemicals known to the

State of California to cause cancer, birth defects or other reproductive harm.

SAFETY

SLOPE OPERATION:

Slopes are a major factor related to loss-of-control and tip-over accidents,

which can result in severe injury or death.

All slopes require extra caution.

If you cannot back up the slope or if you feel uneasy on it, do not mow it!

Mow across the slope with your Dixon ZTR - never up or down.

Remove obstacles such as rocks, tree limbs, etc.

Watch for holes, ruts or bumps. Uneven terrain could overturn the mower. Tall grass can hide

obstacles.

Useslow speed. Tiresmaylose tractiononslopes eventhoughthe brakesarefunctioning properly.

Useextracarewithgrasscatchersorotherattachments. Thesecanchangethestabilityofthemower.

Keep all movement on the slopes slow and gradual. Do not make sudden changes in speed or

direction.

Avoidstartingorstoppingon aslope. If tireslosetraction,disengagethebladesand proceedslowly

down the slope.

If front wheels lift off the ground, pull the levers back to stabilize the mower.

DO NOT

Do not turn on slopes unless necessary, and then, turn slowly and gradually downhill, if possible.

Do not mow near drop-offs, ditches, or embankments. The mower could suddenly turn over if a

wheel is over the edge of a cliff or ditch, or if an edge caves in.

Do not mow on wet grass. Reduced traction could cause sliding.

Do not try to stabilize the mower by putting your foot on the ground.

Do not use grass catcher on steep slopes.

SAFETY

Tragic accidents can occur if the operator is not alert to the

presence of children.

Children are attracted to lawn mowers and the mowing activity.

NEVER assume children will stay where they were last seen.

Be alert to avoid accidents.

• Keep children out of the mowing area and under the watchful care of another

responsible adult.

• Be alert and turn mower off if a child enters the area.

• Before and during backing, look behind and DOWN for small children.

• Never carry children. They may fall off and be seriously injured or interfere with

safe mower operation.

• Never allow children to operate the mower.

• Use extra care when approaching blind corners, shrubs, trees, or other objects that

may obscure vision.

CHILDREN:

SAFETY

SERVICE:

• Use extra care in handling gasoline and other fuels. They are flammable and vapors are explosive.

Use only an approved container.

Never remove fuel cap or add fuel with the engine running. Allow engine to cool before refueling.

Do not smoke while refueling.

Never refuel the mower indoors.

Never store the mower or fuel container inside a building where there is an open flame.

If fuel is spilled on clothing, change clothing immediately.

To prevent fire and explosion caused by static electricity:

Never fill containers inside a vehicle or on a truck or trailer bed with a plastic liner. Always

place containers on the ground away from your vehicle before filling.

When practical, remove fuel-powered equipment from the truck or trailer and refuel it on the

ground. If this is not possible, then refuel such equipment on a trailer with a portable

container, rather than from a fuel dispenser nozzle.

If a fuel dispenser nozzle must be used, keep the nozzle in contact with the rim of the fuel

tank or container opening at all times until fueling is complete. Do not use a nozzle lock-open

device.

• Never run a mower inside a closed area. The exhaust fumes are toxic.

• Keep nuts and bolts tight, especially blade attachment bolts, and keep equipment in good condition.

• Never tamper with safety devices. Check their proper operation regularly.

• Keep mower free of grass, leaves, or other debris buildup. Clean up oil or fuel spillage. Allow mower to

cool before storing.

• Stop and inspect the equipment if you strike an object. Repair, if necessary, before restarting.

• Never make adjustments or repairs with the engine running unless otherwise specified.

• Grass catcher components are subject to wear, damage, and deterioration, which could expose moving parts

or allow objects to be thrown. Frequently check components and replace with original equipment parts,

when necessary.

• Mower blades are sharp and can cut. Wrap the blade(s) or wear gloves, and use extra caution when servicing

them.

• Batteries contain sulfuric acid. To prevent burns avoid contact with skin, eyes and clothing. To prevent a

fire or explosion keep sparks and open flames away from battery.

•Before disconnecting the negative (-) ground cable, make sure all switches are OFF.
