WARNING!
The machine can turn very
rapidly if one steering control
is moved much further forward
than the other.
1. Steering Control Levers
The machine’s speed and direction are continuously
variable using the two steering controls. The steering
controls can be moved forward or backward about a
neutral position. Furthermore, there is a neutral posi-
tion, which is locked if the steering controls are moved
outward.
When both controls are in the neutral position (N), the
machine stands still.
By moving both controls an equal amount forward or
backward, the machine moves in a straight line for-
ward or backward respectively.
In order, for example, to turn right while moving for-
ward, move the right control towards the neutral posi-
tion. The rotation of the right wheel is reduced and the
machine turns to the right.
Zero turn can be achieved by moving one control
backward (behind the neutral position) and carefully
moving the other steering control forward from its neu-
tral position. The rotation direction when zero turning is
determined by which steering control is moved back-
ward behind the neutral position. If the left steering
control is pulled backward, the machine turns to the
left. Use extra care when using this maneuver.
If the steering controls are in uneven positions when
standing still or do not fi t in the slots for moving the
controls outward, they can be adjusted.

Tracking
If the mower is not tracking straight, check the air
pressure in both rear tires. Recommended air pressure
is 15 psi. (1 bar) Tracking must be checked on a fl at
and level concrete or blacktop surface. If the unit still
does not track straight contact your Dixon workshop
for adjustments.
