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 operate this mower with bare feet
or open
sandals.
3. When grass is wet or slippery, do not use any riding mower.
4. Always mow at the slowest speed that will cut satisfacto
rily.
5. Keep hands and feet away from the blade at all times.
6. Although the Dixon mower is equipped with a missile
deflector, keep
persons clear of the discharge chute. Do not operate mower unless
deflector is in place.
7. When mowing hills or slopes, use extreme caution. Reduce speed,
do not make sudden starts, stops, or turns.
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 engine 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 en
gine
does not stop, see your dealer for necessary repair.

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.
16. Never carry passengers.
