headed directly toward the alignment point.

NOTE: The speed of the tractor will affect the quality of

the mower cut. Mowing at full speed will adversely affect

the cut quality. Control the ground speed with the control

levers.

When approaching the other end of the strip, slow down 6.

or stop before turning. A U-turn is recommended unless a

pivot or zero turn is required.
