SAFETY

GENERAL OPERATION:

• 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 safty 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.

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.

Use slow speed. Tires may lose traction on slopes even though the brakes are functioning properly.

Use extra care with grass catchers or other attachments. These can change the stability of the mower.

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

Avoidstartingorstoppingonaslope. Iftireslosetraction,disengagethebladesandproceedslowlydownthe

slope.

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

DONOT

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

Donot mowneardrop-offs,ditches,orembankments. Themowercouldsuddenlyturnoverifawheelisover

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

CHILDREN:

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

presenceofchildren.

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

responsibleadult.

• 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

moweroperation.

• Never allow children to operate the mower.

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

mayobscurevision.

SAFETY

• Useextracareinhandlinggasolineandotherfuels. Theyareflammableandvaporsareexplosive.

Use only an approved container.

Never remove gas cap or add fuel with the engine running. Allow engine to cool before refueling. Do not

smoke.

Never refuel the mower indoors.

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

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 gas-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 gasoline

dispenser nozzle.

If a gasoline 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.

• 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.
