MAINTENANCE INSTRUCTIONS

ENGINE:

For complete maintenance and operating

information for your engine, please refer to

your engine operating and maintenance

instructions furnished by the engine

manufacturer and included in your Dixon

Zero Turning Radius Mower information

packet.

NOTE: Air intake screen must be kept

clean. If plugged, engine may be seriously

damaged by over heating.

BATTERY:

Keep the electrolyte level above the plates

in each cell by adding distilled water as it

becomes necessary. Add water just before

operating the mower to mix the water with

the solution. Be careful not to overfill the

battery - the electrolyte solution is corrosive

and can cause damage to surrounding

metal parts if it should spill. When taking

the battery out of the mower for servicing,

make sure to connect the cables to the

battery exactly as they were prior to

removal. Always disconnect the ground (-)

wire first and always reconnect the ground

(-) wire last.

Keep the battery clean. Remove the

corrosion around the battery terminals by

applying a solution of one part baking soda

to four parts water. Coat all exposed

terminal surfaces with a light layer of

grease or petroleum jelly to prevent

corrosion.

NOTE:

TIRES:

Correct tire pressure is essential for

efficient operation of the mower. Check tire

pressure as requested in the maintenance

schedule. Inflate tires to the pressures

listed below:

Lug nuts should be checked regularly for

tightness.
