SAFETY RULES

ATTENTION! BECOME ALERT! YOUR SAFETY IS INVOLVED!

towing tractor, do not exceed the implement’s max- imum transport speed. Doing so could result in:

•Loss of control of the implement and tractor

•Reduced or no ability to stop during braking

•Implement tire failure

•Damage to the implement or its components.

Use additional caution and reduce speed when under adverse surface conditions, turning, or on inclines.

Never tow this implement with a motor vehicle.

Do not operate PTO during transport.

Do not operate or transport on steep slopes.

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

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

Never allow riders on power unit or attachment.

Before dismounting power unit or performing any service or maintenance, follow these steps: disengage power to equipment, lower the 3-point hitch and all raised components to the ground, operate valve levers to release any hydraulic pres- sure, set parking brake, stop engine, remove key, and unfasten seat belt.

Before performing any service or maintenance, disconnect driveline from tractor PTO.

Before working underneath, raise mower, install transport lock, and block mower securely. Hydrau- lic system leak down and failure of mechanical or hydraulic system can cause equipment to drop.

Do not modify or alter or permit anyone else to modify or alter the equipment or any of its compo- nents in any way.

Your dealer can supply original equipment hydraulic accessories and repair parts. Substitute parts may not meet original equipment specifica- tions and may be dangerous.

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.

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

Never go underneath equipment (lowered to the ground or raised) unless it is properly blocked and secured. Never place any part of the body under- neath equipment or between moveable parts even when the engine has been turned off. Hydraulic system leak down, hydraulic system failures, mechanical failures, or movement of control levers can cause equipment to drop or rotate unexpect- edly and cause severe injury or death. Follow Oper- ator's Manual instructions for working underneath and blocking requirements or have work done by a qualified dealer.

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

Keep all persons away from operator control area while performing adjustments, service, or maintenance.

Make certain all movement of equipment com- ponents has stopped before approaching for ser- vice.

Frequently check blades. They should be sharp, free of nicks and cracks, and securely fastened.

Do not handle blades with bare hands. Careless or improper handling may result in serious injury.

Your dealer can supply genuine replacement blades. Substitute blades may not meet original equipment specifications and may be dangerous.

Tighten all bolts, nuts, and screws to torque chart specifications. Check that all cotter pins are installed securely to ensure equipment is in a safe condition before putting unit into service.

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 disconnect hydraulic lines until machine is securely blocked or placed in lowest position and system pressure is released by operating valve levers.

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

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.
