Woods Equipment BW126XHDQ, BW180XHDQ manual Install Chain or Belt Shielding

Install Chain or Belt Shielding

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).

Install chain and rubber shields with hardware as shown. (Refer to Figure 39 for Chain Shielding Installa- tion; Figure 41 and Figure 42 for Belt Shielding Installa- tion.)

NOTE: Chain Shielding: Install four (two per wing) 6- link chain sections (17) and four (two per wing) 4-link chain sections (15) to the wing skid shoes. Secure with carriage bolts (19) and flange lock nuts (21).
