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

forward are used in relation to the machine’s normal
