Figure 2. Mowing Pattern
BLADES
Mowers are shipped with standard suction blades
which are designed for normal mowing conditions.
Optional low suction blades are available for use in
sandy areas.
UNEVEN TERRAIN
■ Be careful when operating tractor and mower
on uneven ground. In extremely uneven terrain,
rear wheel weights should be used to improve trac-
tion.
The addition of rear tire weights and liquid ballast in
rear tires will increase tractor stability.
Pass diagonally through sharp dips and avoid sharp
drops to prevent “hanging up” the tractor and mower.
Practice will improve your skills in maneuvering rough
terrain.
Avoid sudden starts and stops when traveling up or
down hill. Always mow down steep slopes, never up or
across the face.
Slow down on sharp turns and slopes to prevent tip-
ping or loss of control.
CLEANING
After Each Use
● Remove large debris such as clumps of dirt, grass,
crop residue, etc. from machine.
● Inspect machine and replace worn or damaged
parts.
● Replace any safety decals that are missing or not
readable.
Periodically or Before Extended Storage
● Clean large debris such as clumps of dirt, grass,
crop residue, etc. from machine.
● Remove the remainder using a low-pressure water
spray.
1. Be careful when spraying near scratched or torn
safety decals or near edges of decals as water
spray can peel decal off surface.
2. Be careful when spraying near chipped or
scratched paint as water spray can lift paint.
3. If a pressure washer is used, follow the advice
of the pressure washer manufacturer.
● Inspect machine and replace worn or damaged
parts.
● Sand down scratches and the edges of areas of
missing paint and coat with Woods spray paint of
matching color (purchase from your Woods
dealer).
● Replace any safety decals that are missing or not
readable (supplied free by your Woods dealer).
See Safety Decals section for location drawing.
