CONTROLS
The Dixon ZTR has a unique transaxle that requires only two drive levers to control braking, turning,
speed, and direction.
On initial operation, set throttle speed on slow and operate with mower blade "OFF". To
avoid "over-controlling" the mower, use a light touch on the drive levers. Slight
movements are all that is necessary.
All controls are described from operators position:
