Troubleshooting - Dixon ZTR 5421 Operator's Manual

MOWER CUT QUALITY:
There are many variables that can effect the cut quality of any multi-blade mower. Type and
conditions of grass, cut height setting, engine RPM and ground speed are some of the
variables that interact creating differences in cut quality. Examination of one or more of the
above will generally produce a quality cut.
The Troubleshooting Chart suggests practices and adjustments that may be helpful in
improving cut quality. Your Dixon ZTR Dealer is also available to provide assistance to you.
