Dixon ZTR 700 Series, Operator'S Manual

MOWING RECOMMENDATIONS

1.         Keep mower blades sharp.

2.         Make sure deck and discharge are 

clean.

3.         When mowing tall grass, make two 

passes, mowing off 1/2 of the desired cut 

on the first pass, and then the desired 

height the second pass. Check for hidden 

dangers first.

4.         Go slowly for trimming.

5.         Always cut grass with the engine at full 

throttle speed. This "ENGINE" speed 

allows the cutting blades to operate at 

optimum cutting speed. Control 

"GROUND" speed with the Steering 

Control Levers.

6.         Vary ground speed to suit conditions

(i.e. go slower in tall thick grass, on hills, 

wet conditions, etc.).
