DEALER SET-UP INSTRUCTIONS

Assembly of this mower is the responsibility of the Woods dealer. It should be delivered to the owner com- pletely assembled, lubricated, and adjusted for normal cutting conditions.

Complete Dealer Check Lists on page 31 when you have completed the assembly.

The mower 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 41.

Select a suitable working area. Open parts boxes and lay out parts and hardware to make location easy. Refer to illustrations, accompanying text, parts lists and exploded view drawings.

„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.
