OPERATION
30-
DIXON
Engage the mower deck by pulling out the 
6. 
blade switch.
Move throttle control to full throttle (not choke). 
7. 
The machine’s speed and direction are 
continuously variable using the two steering 
controls. When both controls are in the neutral 
position, the machine stands still. 
By moving both controls an equal amount 
forward or backward, the machine moves in a 
straight line forward or backward respectively. 
In order, for example, to turn right while moving 
forward, move the right control towards the 
neutral position. The rotation of the right wheel 
is reduced and the machine turns to the right. 
Turning on the spot can be achieved by 
moving one control backward (behind the 
neutral position) and carefully moving the 
other steering control forward from its neutral 
position.
IMPORTANT INFORMATION
Control levers return to neutral when released. 
This may cause the mower to suddenly stop.
