ASSEMBLY INSTRUCTIONS
CAUTION
! Always wear relatively tight and belted
clothing to avoid entanglement in moving
parts. Wear sturdy, rough-soled work
shoes and protective equipment for eyes,
hair, hands, hearing and head.
WARNING
! Before working underneath, carefully
read operator manual instructions , discon-
nect driveline, raise mower, securely block
up all corners with jackstands and check
stability. Secure blocking prevents equip-
ment dropping from hydraulic leak down,
hydraulic system failures, or mechanical
component failures.
Assembly of the mower is the responsibility of the
WOODS dealer. It should be delivered to the owner
completely assembled, lubricated and adjusted for
normal conditions. Complete the following check lists
when assembly is complete.
The mower is shipped partially assembled. Assembly
will be easier if components are aligned and loosely
assembled before tightening hardware. Reco m-
mended torque values for hardware are located on
page 3. All bolts are grade 5 unless specified otherwise.
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.
