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 ® 4000 Series Model Mowers.
Your Dixon dealer will gladly provide a checkout ride,' and answer any questions.

See your dealer for warranty service, parts and repairs.
