mowed "twice". Mowing twice puts an unnecessary load on tractor and
reduces mowing efficiency.
4. Avoid sudden turns on wet turf. These can damage turf unnecessarily.
5. Never raise the mower deck with the blades engaged to avoid small
obstacles, drive over curbs and so forth. Disengage the PTO before rais-
ing the deck, using the tractor's tool bar lift control lever. See tractor
owner's manual for additional information.

ing and remove them from operator's path.
