L306 Installation

Assemble shoulder washer (small end up, if removed), clutch disc, blade stop and blade. Ensure cutting edge is positioned to lead in counter-clockwise rotation, as viewed from top of mower.

Position shim under blade. Install cup washers sleeve, special heat-treated washer, and special Nylok bolt.

Shims should be added to blade installation to leave approximately 1/32" cup in the cup washers when blade bolt is torqued to 170 lbs-ft.

Excessive blade slipping can cause the cup washers to burn and lose their clamping force. If this happens, the cup washers must be replaced.

The L306 mower blades have friction clutch discs. The clutch is designed to slip only when striking a solid object. If slippage occurs during normal mowing, it may be necessary to add a thin shim washer over sleeve.

Belt Replacement

One of the major causes of belt failure is improper installation. Before a new belt is installed, check pulley shafts and bearings for wear. Check pulley grooves for cleanliness. Make sure spindles turn freely and without wobble.

If grooves require cleaning, moisten a cloth with a non- flammable, non-toxic degreasing agent or commercial detergent and water.

Avoid excessive force during installation.

Do not use tools to pry belt into pulley groove. Do not roll belt over pulleys to install. This can cause hidden damage and premature belt failure.

Refer to Assembly instructions section, page 20, for belt installation.

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.
