ASSEMBLY INSTRUCTIONS
DEALER SET-UP INSTRUCTIONS
Assembly of this cutter is the responsibility of the Woods dealer. If should be delivered to the owner completely assembled, lubricated, and adjusted for normal cutting conditions.
Complete check lists on page 30 when you have completed the assembly.
The cutter is shipped partially assembled. Assembly will be easier if aligned and loosely assembled before tightening hardware. Recommended torque values for hardware are located in the Bolt Torque Chart, page 48.
Full chain, rubber, or steel band shielding must be installed when operating in populated areas or other areas where thrown objects could injure peo- ple or damage property.
•If this machine is not equipped with full chain, rubber, or steel band shielding, operation must be stopped when anyone 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).
Make sure
