Dixon 422 & 424 Benutzerhandbuch

 

Dixon ZTR mowers offer a new concept in mowing, 

providing unique maneuverability and ease. The 

following procedures will allow one to become 

familiar with the unique method of control very 

easily.

 

1. SET PARKING BRAKE  — Be sure that drive 

levers are  free and in the neutral position. 

(When drive levers are  released, they should 

return to neutral position.)

 

2. "Blade Operation" lever is to be set in the 

"Disengage" position.

 

3. Move throttle control to "Choke" position.

 

4. To start models with electric starting, simply 

insert ignition  key and turn to the far right 

position. When the engine starts, release the 

ignition key and it will remain in the  "RUN" 

position. To stop the engine simply turn the key 

to the "OFF" position.

 

NOTE: Some electric start models are also 

equipped with  manual start provision. 

To start engine manually turn switch to 

"RUN" and pull the starter rope.

 

5. Set engine to desired speed by adjusting 

throttle control. (Suggest set at slow speed 

during initial operation.)

 

6. NOTE SAFETY FEATURE: Safety switches 

stop engine  when operator leaves seat while 

blades are engaged, and  engine cannot be 

started when blades are engaged. OPERATOR 

SHOULD TAKE PRECAUTIONS AND NOT 

RELY ON SAFETY SWITCHES.

 

7. This unit is equipped with a unique transaxle that 

requires only two drive levers to control braking, 

turning, direction and acceleration. TO GO 

FORWARD

 

From neutral position gently push both drive 

levers forward; to increase speed move levers 

further forward.

 

 

From neutral position gently pull both drive 

levers

 

rearward.

 

 

Turning is controlled by moving one drive lever 

slightly forward or rearward of the other. To turn 

left, move left lever rearward of right lever. To 

turn "square corners" move lever of desired 

direction to neutral. To turn on mower's own 

axis (Zero Radius) reduce speed and move one 

lever to reverse position and the other to forward 

position.

 

 

To brake mower, move both levers in direction 

opposite of travel, release levers to neutral, set 

parking brake. When stopping on incline, it may 

be necessary to hold slight pressure on levers 

in direction opposite of slope, until parking 

brake is set.

 

 

 

It is recommended that first operation of mower 

be done at a slow throttle setting with mower 

blades disengaged u ntil  operator is thoroughly 

familiar with the unit.

 

 

8. Mower Blade operation:

 

• Cutting height is set by positioning the 

adjustment lever. Push button knob on top of 

lever, set desired cutting height, lock in to 

position by releasing button knob.

 

• To start mower blades, move lever on floor to 

"engage"  position. To stop mower blades, 

move lever to "disengage" position.
