SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS

 

BEFORE MOWING:

 

1. Discuss proper maintenance with your Dixon dealer, to 

save money and prevent injury. Consult your dealer be -

fore removing any parts.

 

2. Don't allow anyone to operate your Dixon mower without 

proper instruction. Young children should never be al-

lowed to operate any power mower, riding or walking.

 

3. Before mowing, pick up all debris  — particularly stones 

and sharp objects.

 

4. Before starting the engine, make sure the gas cap is in 

place.

 

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 use any kind of mower with bare 

feet or open sandals, not even an old push-type model!

 

3. When grass is wet or slippery, do not use any riding mower.

 

4. Always mow at the slowest speed that will cut satisfactorily.

 

5. Keep hands and feet away from the blade at all times.

 

6. Although the Dixon mower is equipped with a missile 

deflector which directs downwards all blade propelled 

objects, keep persons clear of the discharge chute.

 

7. Your Dixon mower is very stable because of its low center 

of gravity and weight biased to the rear; however, caution 

should be exercised when mowing hills or slopes with 

any 

mower.

 

8. Always disengage blades before taking the mower
