ASSEMBLY INSTRUCTIONS
DEALER SET-UP INSTRUCTIONS
Assembly of this cutter is the responsibility of the WOODS dealer. It should be delivered to the owner completely assembled, lubricated and adjusted for nor- mal cutting conditions.
The BW180HB and BW126HB cutters are shipped completely assembled. The BW180HD cutter is shipped partially assembled. Assembly will be easier if components are aligned and loosely assembled before tightening hardware. Recommended torque values for hardware are located on page 71.
Select a suitable working area. A smooth hard surface, such as concrete, will make assembly much quicker. Open parts boxes and lay out parts and hardware to make location easy. Refer to illustrations, accompany- ing text, parts lists and exploded view drawings.
Complete the check list on page 43 when assembly is complete and cutter is delivered to the customer.
Before working underneath, carefully read Oper- ator’s Manual instructions, disconnect driveline, raise mower, securely block up all corners with jackstands, and check stability. Secure blocking prevents equipment from dropping due to hydrau- lic leak down, hydraulic system failures, or mechanical component failures.
Do not disconnect hydraulic lines until machine is securely blocked or placed in lowest position and system pressure is released by operating valve levers.
CAUTION
Always wear relatively tight and belted clothing to avoid entanglement in moving parts. Wear sturdy,
