Assembly Instructions

DEALER SET-UP INSTRUCTIONS

The mower is shipped mostly assembled but requires dealer set-up. The Woods dealer should deliver the mower to the owner completely assembled, lubricated, and adjusted for normal conditions.

Recommended torque values for hardware are located on page 50.

Complete check lists on page 33 when assembly is complete.

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.

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

4.Remove parking jack from storage position on left wing.

5.Attach parking jack to trailer tongue frame.

6.Remove wood block from hitch.

Attach Hydraulic Hoses

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.

Attach the mower hydraulic hose to the tractor port. Hydraulic quick coupler is not supplied.

NOTE: The mower hydraulic system should have been filled at the factory. Always assume it is empty. Fully purge air and fill the hydraulic system by raising and lowering wings several times while hooked to a tractor hydraulic supply. Keep all personnel away while raising and lowering.

OPTIONAL EQUIPMENT

Chain Shielding Installation

CAUTION

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.

Remove Shipping Straps

1.Remove CV drive from rear wing frame.

2.Attach drive to splitter gearbox. Position CV joint towards the tractor. See page 36 for orientation.

3.Remove shipping straps from front and rear of right and left wing decks.

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).
