Routine Maintenance
Verify Safety Interlock System
With parking brake on, steering levers in the neutral lock position, and deck blades disengaged,
start mower while sitting in the seat. When engine starts, lift up off the seat. The engine should shut
down. If engine continues to run, see an authorized Dixie Chopper dealer to service the safety inter-
lock system.
Visually Inspect Unit for Loose Hardware and/or Damaged Parts
Walk around mower to visually inspect and tighten, if necessary, all hardware. Refer to Part Manual
for proper torque specifi cations. Pay particular attention to wheel axle nuts, lug nuts, and blade bolts.
Visually inspect tires
Front tire pressure is 12-18 psi. Rear tire pressure is 5-7psi.
Engine to Deck Belt Tension
The deck belt tension and the engine to deck belt tension are regulated by the deck engaging rod
adjustment. Please refer to the Part Manual for location. Proper adjustment is accomplished by
tightening or loosing the nut so that the spring measurement is approximately 3". See image below
