1. Read these safety instructions and 
engine manufacturer's  operating and 
maintenance instructions that are 
furnished with the mower.

Dixon mower without proper instruction. 
Young children should never be allowed 
to operate any power mower, riding or 
walking.
 
4. Before mowing, pick up all debris —
particulary stones and sharp objects.
 
5. Before starting the engine, make sure 
the gas cap is in place.
 
DURING MOWER OPERATION
 
1. The revolutionary Dixon mower attracts 
many admiring neighbors. But when 
mowing, all persons  — especially 
children  — and pets should be cleared 
from the mowing area.
 
2. Wear appropriate, safe clothing when 
mowing  — close-fitting jeans or slacks 
and heavy leather or safety shoes with 
rough soles. Never use any kind of 
mower with bare feet or open sandals, 
not even an old push-type model!
 
3. When grass is wet or slippery, do not use 
any riding mower.
 
4. Always mow at the slowest speed that 
will cut satjsfactorily.
 
5. Keep hands and feet away from the 
blade at afl times.
 
6. Although the Dixon mower is equipped 
with a missile
 
deflector which directs downwards all blade -
propelled objects, keep persons clear of the 
discharge chute. Do not operate mower unless 
deflector is in place.
 
7. Use extreme caution when mowing hills or 
slopes with any mower.
 
8. Always disengage blades before taking the 
mower across  walks or objects that project 
above the surface.
 
9. When the mower is not in use, turn the engine 
off; never  leave the engine running unattended. 
Your Dixon mower is  equipped with a weight-
sensitive switch that kills the en gine when 
operator leaves the seat while blades are 
engaged. Test this important safety feature  
before each  time mower is used. This may be 
done by starting engine,  engaging blades and 
then rising slightly from seat. If engine does not 
stop, see your dealer for necessary repair.
 
10. Before adjusting your mower or adding fuel, 
turn the engine off.  Let it cool, and disconnect 
the spark plug so the engine cannot start by 
accident. Be sure all moving parts are stopped.
 
11. Never run the engine indoors; the fumes are 
dangerous.
 
12. Before backing your Dixon mower, stop, turn 
around, and look.
 
13. Gasoline fumes are explosive; use only 
approved gasoline containers to store small 
amount of fuel. No special oil/gas mixtures are 
needed for your Dixon mower.
 
14. If the mower should start vibrating, stop the 
engine immediately and check for damage or 
loose parts. Vibration is usually the warning of 
trouble.
 
15. Never lift lawn mower by the body; lift only by 
the frame.
