SAFETY RULES

ATTENTION! BECOME ALERT! YOUR SAFETY IS INVOLVED!

(Safety Rules continued from previous page)

Remove accumulated debris from this equip- ment, power unit, and engine to avoid fire hazard.

Make sure all safety decals are installed. Replace if damaged. (See Safety Decals section for location.)

Make sure shields and guards are properly installed and in good condition. Replace if dam- aged.

Do not put this equipment into service unless all side skids are properly installed and in good condi- tion. Replace if damaged.

A minimum 20% of tractor and equipment weight must be on the tractor front wheels when attachments are in transport position. Without this weight, tractor could tip over, causing personal injury or death. The weight may be attained with front wheel weights, ballast in tires or front tractor weights. Weigh the tractor and equipment. Do not estimate.

Inspect and clear area of stones, branches, or other hard objects that might be thrown, causing injury or damage.

OPERATION

Full chain shielding must be installed when operating in populated areas or other areas where thrown objects could injure people or damage property.

If this machine is not equipped with full chain shielding, operation must be stopped when any- one comes within 300 feet (92 m).

This shielding is designed to reduce the risk of thrown objects. The mower deck and protec- tive devices cannot prevent all objects from escaping the blade enclosure in every mowing condition. It is possible for objects to ricochet and escape, traveling as much as 300 feet (92 m).

Do not allow bystanders in the area when oper- ating, attaching, removing, assembling, or servic- ing equipment.

Never direct discharge toward people, animals, or property.

Do not operate or transport equipment while under the influence of alcohol or drugs.

Operate only in daylight or good artificial light.

Keep hands, feet, hair, and clothing away from equipment while engine is running. Stay clear of all moving parts.

Always comply with all state and local lighting and marking requirements.

Never allow riders on power unit or attachment.

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.

Always sit in power unit seat when operating controls or starting engine. Securely fasten seat belt, place transmission in neutral, engage brake, and ensure all other controls are disengaged before starting power unit engine.

Connect PTO driveline directly to power unit PTO shaft. Never use adapter sleeves or adapter shafts. Adapters can cause driveline failures due to incorrect spline or incorrect operating length and can result in personal injury or death.

Operate tractor PTO at 540 RPM (1000 RPM on Q Series cutters). Do not exceed.

Look down and to the rear and make sure area is clear before operating in reverse.

Do not operate or transport on steep slopes.

Do not stop, start, or change directions sud- denly on slopes.

Use extreme care and reduce ground speed on slopes and rough terrain.

Watch for hidden hazards on the terrain during operation.

Stop power unit and equipment immediately upon striking an obstruction. Turn off engine, remove key, inspect, and repair any damage before resuming operation.

Leak down or failure of mechanical or hydraulic system can cause equipment to drop.

On pull-type units with optional hydraulic cut- ting height adjustment, use a single-acting cylinder with a maximum extended length of 28-1/4" (718 mm) from attaching point center to center.

On mounted units with optional hydraulic cut- ting height adjustment, use a double-acting cylin- der with a maximum extended length of 28-1/4" (718 mm) from attaching point center to center.

TRANSPORTATION

The maximum transport speed for towed and semi-mounted machines is 20 mph (32 km/h). Regardless of the maximum speed capability of the

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.
