ASSEMBLY
DEALER SET-UP INSTRUCTIONS
Assembly of this mower is the responsibility of the
Woods dealer. The mower should be delivered to the
owner completely assembled, lubricated and adjusted
for normal cutting conditions.
Using these instructions, set up mower as received
from the factory.
Complete check lists on page 27 when set-up is com-
plete.
The mower 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 35.
Select a suitable working area. Open parts boxes and
lay out parts and hardware to make locating easy.
Refer to illustrations, accompanying text, parts lists and
exploded view drawings.

as eye and ear protectors during assembly.

ate mower without discharge chute in place.
