6 Operation
MAN0118 (Rev. 12/23/2004)
OPERATION
Safety instructions are important! Read all
attachment and power unit manuals; follow all
safety rules and safety decal information. (Replace-
ment manuals and safety decals are available from
your dealer. To locate your nearest dealer, check
the Dealer Locator at www.WoodsEquipment.com,
or in the United States and Canada call 1-800-319-
6637.) Failure to follow instructions or safety rules
can result in serious injury or death.
Make sure the driveline spring-activated locking
collar slides freely and is seated firmly in power
unit PTO groove. Make sure the set screws
securely attach driveline to the attachment gearbox
shaft.
Before performing any service or maintenance,
lower attachment to ground, turn off power unit
engine, remove key, and disconnect battery ground
cable (negative -).
Make sure attachment is properly secured,
adjusted, and in good operating condition.
Never allow children or untrained persons to
operate equipment.
Keep bystanders away from equipment.
Do not stop, start, or change directions sud-
denly on slopes.
Always wear relatively tight and belted clothing
to avoid getting caught 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.
REAR TRACTOR WEIGHT
REQUIREMENTS
The sweeper attachment requires additional rear trac-
tor weight as shown in the counterweight chart below.
Contact your WOODS dealer for counterweights and
mount kit appropriate for your specific tractor.
2-WAY ANGLE MOUNT HEIGHT
ADJUSTMENT
The sweeping height of the broom should be adjusted
by the actuator motor. When using the broom for de-
thatching, the gauge wheels should be mounted to the
sides of the Sweeper broom and the height of the
broom should be adjusted by placing spacers on the
wheel forks above or below the fork housings.
FIXED ANGLE HEIGHT ADJUSTMENT
The sweeping height of the broom is adjusted by push-
ing the button on the end of the adjustment lever and
moving lever rearward to raise broom and forward to
lower broom.
SWEEPING TIPS
Never place any part of the body underneath
implement/attachment or between its moving parts
even when the engine has been turned off. Service
work does not require going underneath unit.
Mechanical failures, electrical failures, or operating
controls can cause equipment to drop.
Before performing any service or maintenance,
lower attachment to ground, turn off power unit
engine, remove key, and disconnect battery ground
cable (negative -).
Make sure shields and guards are properly
installed and in good condition. Replace if damaged.
Keep hands, feet, hair, and clothing away from
equipment while engine is running. Stay clear of all
moving parts.
Always operate tractor engine at full governed RPM
when using the bi-directional broom for snow removal.
Safety is a primary concern in the design and
manufacture of our products. Unfortunately, our
efforts to provide safe equipment can be wiped
out by an operator’s single careless act.
In addition to the design and configuration of
equipment, hazard control and accident preven-
tion are dependent upon the awareness, con-
cern, judgement, and proper training of
personnel involved in the operation, transport,
maintenance, and storage of equipment.
It has been said, “The best safety device is an
informed, careful operator.” We ask you to be
that kind of operator.
