Do not operate the tractor with the mower deck removed. 
Removal of the deck will change the balance of the tractor,

Avoid operation on traction surfaces that are unstable; use 
extreme caution if the surface is slippery. Always remove
debris and other objects from the area to be mowed -
debris and loose grass will reduce traction.
Mow only in daylight or good artificial light.

Inspect for damage. Repair the damage. Make sure the
