ASSEMBLY
INSTRUCTIONS
DEALER SET-UP INSTRUCTIONS
Assembly of this cutter is the responsibility of the
WOODS dealer. It should be delivered to the owner
completely assembled, lubricated and adjusted for nor-
mal cutting conditions.
The cutter 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 78.
Select a suitable working area. A smooth hard surface,
such as concrete, will make assembly much quicker.
Open parts boxes and lay out parts and hardware to
make location easy. Refer to illustrations, accompany-
ing text, parts lists and exploded view drawings.
Complete the check list on page 48 when assembly is
complete and cutter is delivered to the customer.
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.
Do not disconnect hydraulic lines until machine
is securely blocked or placed in lowest position
and system pressure is released by operating
valve levers.
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;
and respirator or filter mask where appropriate.
CENTER SECTION ASSEMBLY
Install Hydraulic Hoses (Figure 22)
1. Insert one 264" (wing cylinder) hose and one 230"
(center cylinder) hose into the right tube in the
center section. Insert one 264" hose into the left
tube.
2. Extend the 264" hoses approximately 52 inches
past the back of the center section. Extend the
230" hose approximately 22 inches past the back
of the center section.
3. Secure hose to center section using hose clamps
(12), carriage bolts (59) and lock nuts (32). Clamps
are used at both front and rear of the deck.
4. Do not tighten clamps at this time. Hoses lengths

complete.
