TO THE DEALER:

Assembly and proper installation of this product is the responsibility of the Woods® dealer. Read manual instructions and safety rules. Make sure all items on the Dealer’s Pre-Delivery and Delivery Check Lists in the Operator’s Manual are completed before releasing equipment to the owner.

The dealer must complete the Product Registration included with the Operator’s Manual. The customer must sign the registration which certifies that all Dealer Check List items have been completed. The dealer is to return the prepaid postage portion to Woods, give one copy to the customer, and retain one copy. Failure to complete and return this card does not diminish customer’s warranty rights.
