Parking Brake; Transmission Drive System - Dixon ZTR 3000 SERIES Operator's Manual

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. Operate with mower blade "OFF".
To avoid "over-controlling" the mower, use a light touch on the drive levers.
Slight movements using fingertip control is all that is necessary.

PARKING BRAKE:

The parking brake is designed to hold the mower from moving and is
not intended for use in stopping the mower while it is in motion.

mower.
