WARNING!
The machine can turn very 
rapidly if one steering control 
is moved much further forward 
than the other.
1. Steering Control Levers
The machine’s speed and direction are continuously 
variable using the two steering controls. The steering 
controls can be moved forward or backward about a 
neutral position. Furthermore, there is a neutral posi-
tion, which is locked if the steering controls are moved 
outward.
When both controls are in the neutral position (N), the 
machine stands still. 
By moving both controls an equal amount forward or 
backward, the machine moves in a straight line for-
ward or backward respectively.
 
In order, for example, to turn right while moving for-
ward, move the right control towards the neutral posi-
tion. The rotation of the right wheel is reduced and the 
machine turns to the right. 
Zero turn can be achieved by moving one control 
backward (behind the neutral position) and carefully 
moving the other steering control forward from its neu-
tral position. The rotation direction when zero turning is 
determined by which steering control is moved back-
ward behind the neutral position. If the left steering 
control is pulled backward, the machine turns to the 
left. Use extra care when using this maneuver.
If the steering controls are in uneven positions when 
standing still or do not fi t in the slots for moving the 
controls outward, they can be adjusted.

Tracking
If the mower is not tracking straight, check the air 
pressure in both rear tires. Recommended air pressure 
is 15 psi. (1 bar) Tracking must be checked on a fl at 
and level concrete or blacktop surface. If the unit still 
does not track straight contact your Dixon workshop 
for adjustments.
