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.
These instructions are for mounting the mower on trac-
tors equipped with Kubota SFL-22 ROPS.
Set up the mower as received from the factory with
these instructions. Complete the check lists on page 29
when it is set up.
Select a suitable working area to assemble mower.
Open the accompanying parts box and lay parts out to
make location easy. Refer to the illustrations in the text,
parts lists and exploded view drawings.
This 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 given on page 37.
A minimum 20% of tractor and equipment
weight must be on the tractor front wheels when
attachments are in transport position. Without this
weight, tractor could tip over, causing personal
injury or death. The weight may be attained with a
loader, front wheel weights, ballast in tires or front
tractor weights. Weigh the tractor and equipment.
Do not estimate.
Make sure shields and guards are properly
installed and in good condition. Replace if damaged.
Do not put this equipment into service unless all
side skids are properly installed and in good condi-
tion. Replace if damaged.
Keep hands, feet, hair, and clothing away from
equipment while engine is running. Stay clear of all
moving parts.
■ Before working underneath, raise mower to
highest position and block securely. Blocking up
prevents mower dropping from hydraulic leak
down, hydraulic system failures, or mechanical
component failures.
■ Disengage power to implement. Lower to
ground the 3-point hitch and all raised compo-
nents. Operate valve levers to release any hydrau-
lic pressure. Stop engine, set parking brake and
remove key before dismounting tractor or perform-
ing any service or maintenance.
Keep all persons away from operator control
area while performing adjustments, service, or
maintenance.
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.
Optional equipment such as front roller, leaf mulcher or
blades should be installed before the mower is
mounted on tractor. It is easier to install casters after
mounting mower. Refer to Optional Equipment Installa-
tion, page 14, for instructions.
MOWER PREPARATION
Side Skids (Figure 15)
Attach side skids to outer rail with 3/8 x 1" bolts. Final
adjustment of skids will be necessary when mowing
height is established. Refer to page 11 for skid adjust-
ment.
Side Shield or Discharge Chute
Do not put mower into service unless either dis-
charge chute or side shield is installed and in good
condition. Replace if damaged.
Attach side shields to the right and left sides of mower.
The baffled shield fits the left side. A side discharge
chute may by used in place of the left side shield for
mowing in heavy material.
Mount the shields or discharge chute with 3/8 x 1"
bolts.
