DEALER SET-UP INSTRUCTIONS
Assembly of this mower is the responsibility of the Woods dealer. If should be
delivered to the owner completely assembled, lubricated, and adjusted for nor-
mal cutting conditions.
Complete Dealer Check Lists on page 24 when you have completed the
assembly.
The mower is shipped partially assembled. Assembly will be easier if compo-
nents are aligned and loosely assembled before tightening hardware. Recom-
mended torque values for hardware are located on page 34.
Select a suitable working area. Open parts boxes and lay out parts and hard-
ware to make location easy. Refer to illustrations, accompanying text, parts lists
and exploded view drawings.
Before working underneath, carefully read Operator's Manual
instructions, disconnect driveline, raise mower, securely block up all cor-
ners with jackstands, and check stability. Secure blocking prevents
equipment from dropping due to hydraulic leak down, hydraulic system
failures, or mechanical component failures.
Always wear relatively tight and belted clothing to avoid getting
caught in moving parts. Wear sturdy, rough-soled work shoes and protec-
tive equipment for eyes, hair, hands, hearing, and head; and respirator or
filter mask where appropriate.
