SAFETY RULES

ATTENTION! BECOME ALERT! YOUR SAFETY IS INVOLVED!

Safety is a primary concern in the design and manufacture of our products. Unfortunately, our efforts to provide safe equipment can be wiped out by an operator’s single careless act.

In addition to the design and configuration of equipment, hazard control and accident preven- tion are dependent upon the awareness, con- cern, judgement, and proper training of personnel involved in the operation, transport, maintenance, and storage of equipment.

It has been said, “The best safety device is an informed, careful operator.” We ask you to be that kind of operator.

TRAINING

Safety instructions are important! Read all attachment and power unit manuals; follow all safety rules and safety decal information. (Replace- ment manuals and safety decals are available from your dealer. To locate your nearest dealer, check the Dealer Locator at www.WoodsEquipment.com, or in the United States and Canada call 1-800-319- 6637.) Failure to follow instructions or safety rules can result in serious injury or death.

If you do not understand any part of this manual and need assistance, see your dealer.

Know your controls and how to stop engine and attachment quickly in an emergency.

Operators must be instructed in and be capable of the safe operation of the equipment, its attach- ments, and all controls. Do not allow anyone to operate this equipment without proper instruc- tions.

Keep hands and body away from pressurized lines. Use paper or cardboard, not hands or other body parts to check for leaks. Wear safety goggles. Hydraulic fluid under pressure can easily penetrate skin and will cause serious injury or death.

Make sure that all operating and service person- nel know that if hydraulic fluid penetrates skin, it must be surgically removed as soon as possible by a doctor familiar with this form of injury or gan- grene, serious injury, or death will result. CON-

TACT A PHYSICIAN IMMEDIATELY IF FLUID ENTERS SKIN OR EYES. DO NOT DELAY.

Never allow children or untrained persons to operate equipment.

PREPARATION

Check that all hardware is properly installed. Always tighten to torque chart specifications unless instructed otherwise in this manual.

Air in hydraulic systems can cause erratic oper- ation and allows loads or equipment components to drop unexpectedly. When connecting equipment or hoses or performing any hydraulic maintenance, purge any air in hydraulic system by operating all hydraulic functions several times. Do this before putting into service or allowing anyone to approach the equipment.

Make sure all hydraulic hoses, fittings, and valves are in good condition and not leaking before starting power unit or using equipment. Check and route hoses carefully to prevent damage. Hoses must not be twisted, bent sharply, kinked, frayed, pinched, or come into contact with any moving parts. Operate moveable components through full operational range to check clearances. Replace any damaged hoses immediately.

Always wear relatively tight and belted clothing to avoid getting caught in moving parts. Wear sturdy, rough-soled work shoes and protective equipment for eyes, hair, hands, hearing, and head; and respirator or filter mask where appropriate.

Make sure attachment is properly secured, adjusted, and in good operating condition.

Make sure spring-activated locking pin or collar slides freely and is seated firmly in tractor PTO spline groove.

Make sure driveline guard tether chains are attached to the tractor and equipment as shown in the pamphlet that accompanies the driveline. Replace if damaged or broken. Check that driveline guards rotate freely on driveline before putting equipment into service.

Power unit must be equipped with ROPS or ROPS cab and seat belt. Keep seat belt securely fastened. Falling off power unit can result in death from being run over or crushed. Keep foldable ROPS system in “locked up” position at all times.

Inspect chain shielding before each use. Replace if damaged.

TS1680, TS1680Q specifications

Woods Equipment has long been a prominent name in the agricultural and landscaping sectors, and its TS1680Q and TS1680 models further cement this reputation. Designed for versatility and reliability, both models shine in various applications, ranging from mowing to maintaining landscapes.

One of the standout features of the Woods TS1680Q and TS1680 is their robust build quality. Crafted with heavy-duty materials, these models are engineered to withstand the rigors of tough terrain and demanding workloads. The TS1680Q, being the quieter variant, employs advanced sound-dampening technologies, ensuring that operators can work without the disruptive noise typical of many competitors.

With a cutting width of 68 inches, both models are designed for efficiency. The wide cutting deck not only allows operators to cover more ground quickly but also ensures a clean and even cut on various grass types. The TS1680Q further enhances mowing precision with its unique floating deck design. This feature enables the cutting deck to follow ground contours, reducing scalping on uneven surfaces.

Another notable characteristic is the versatility of attachment options. Both models come equipped with a category 1 three-point hitch which allows for easy attachment of numerous implements. This adaptability means operators can use the TS1680Q and TS1680 for other tasks, such as tilling or hauling, making it a multi-functional powerhouse for any farm or landscape project.

The hydraulic system on these models is engineered for high performance. With user-friendly controls and responsive feedback, operators can adjust settings with ease. Combined with a powerful engine, the TS1680Q and TS1680 offer reliable performance and energy efficiency, contributing to reduced fuel expenditure in the long run.

Safety features are also a priority, with shields and guards designed to protect operators during use. The controls are ergonomically situated to minimize potential hazards. Additionally, the low center of gravity design ensures stable operation, reducing the risk of tipping especially while working on inclines.

In conclusion, the Woods Equipment TS1680Q and TS1680 models are designed with the modern user in mind. Their blend of durability, innovative technology, and operational versatility makes them a top choice for both agricultural use and landscaping projects. Whether you're a farmer looking for reliable mowing solutions or a landscaper in need of a versatile implement, these models deliver exceptional performance and value.
