SHIELDING REPAIR

SERVICING TIRES SAFELY

 

Used Aircraft Tires (Figure 17)

Full chain or rubber shielding is required for all non-agricultural mowing. Full shielding is also rec- ommended for all agricultural use to further reduce the risk of thrown objects.

Repairing Rubber Shielding

Inspect belting and rear bands each day of operation and replace if bent, cracked, or broken.

Repairing Optional Chain Shielding

Inspect chain shielding each day of operation and replace any broken or missing chains as required.

CLEANING

After Each Use

Remove large debris such as clumps of dirt, grass, crop residue, etc. from machine.

Inspect machine and replace worn or damaged parts.

Replace any safety decals that are missing or not readable.

Periodically or Before Extended Storage

Clean large debris such as clumps of dirt, grass, crop residue, etc. from machine.

Remove the remainder using a low-pressure water spray.

1.Be careful when spraying near scratched or torn safety decals or near edges of decals as water spray can peel decal off surface.

2.Be careful when spraying near chipped or scratched paint as water spray can lift paint.

3.If a pressure washer is used, follow the advice of the pressure washer manufacturer.

Inspect machine and replace worn or damaged parts.

Sand down scratches and the edges of areas of missing paint and coat with Woods spray paint of matching color (purchase from your Woods dealer).

Replace any safety decals that are missing or not readable (supplied free by your Woods dealer). See Safety Decals section for location drawing.

WARNING

Do not attempt to mount a tire unless you have the proper equipment and experience to perform the job.

Always maintain the correct tire pressure. Do not inflate tires above the recommended pressure. Never weld or heat a wheel and tire assembly. The heat can cause an increase in air pressure and result in a tire explosion. Welding can structurally weaken or deform the wheel.

When inflating tires, use a clip-on chuck and an exten- sion hose long enough to allow you to stand to the side

not in front of or over the tire assembly. Use a safety cage if available.

Check wheels for low pressure, cuts, bubbles, dam- aged rims, or missing lug bolts and nuts.

Never remove split rim assembly hardware (A) with the tire inflated.
