SAFETY RULES ATTENTION! BECOME ALERT! YOUR SAFETY IS INVOLVED! 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 prevention are dependent upon the awareness, concern, judgement, and proper training of personnel involved in the operation, transport, maintenance, and storage of equipment.
SAFETY RULES ATTENTION! BECOME ALERT! YOUR SAFETY IS INVOLVED! Do not stop, start, or change directions suddenly on slopes. Use extreme care and reduce ground speed on slopes and rough terrain. Watch for hidden hazards on the terrain during operation. Stop power unit and equipment immediately upon striking an obstruction. Turn off engine, remove key, inspect, and repair any damage before resuming operation. TRANSPORTATION Always comply with all state and local lighting and marking requirements.
SAFETY & INSTRUCTIONAL DECALS ATTENTION! BECOME ALERT! YOUR SAFETY IS INVOLVED! Replace Immediately If Damaged! 1 - PN 19007 3 - SERIAL NUMBER PLATE MODEL NO. SERIAL NO. 2 - PN 53425 Woods Equipment Company Oregon, Illinois, U.S.A. DANGER BE CAREFUL! Use a clean, damp cloth to clean safety decals.

OPERATION A WARNING ■ Do not allow children or unqualified persons to operate equipment. ■ Keep bystanders away from equipment while it is in operation. A CAUTION clear the ground. The side skids will minimize scalping by lifting the mower over bumps. Height Adjustment (With Casters) The mower may be raised off the casters at any time by the tractor lift system, but regulate mowing height with caster height.
should be adjusted so that it is snug but not tight when mower is raised. When belt replacement is necessary, use only belts recommended by Woods dealers. These are of special construction for shock loading and severe use. SIDE DISCHARGE & DISCHARGE CHUTE ing out too easily. Do not substitute an ordinary bolt. When replacing the blade, tighten the bolt tight enough so that the blade will not slip. HOW TO SOLVE BELT PROBLEMS Assemble as shown on mower decal.
How to Align a Twisted Belt ● Inspect machine and replace worn or damaged parts. Right: Inside edge of belt are approximately lined up with the sheave. ● 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.
ASSEMBLY Side Shield (See page 16) Mounting Mower (See page 16) Attach side shields (39 & 48) to mower with 3/8 x 1" bolts and lock nuts. A side discharge chute (48) may be installed on right end of mower in place of side shield (30). Slide mower under tractor. At this point, the belt must be looped over the pivot pipe. Screw guide rod (22) into rear of pipe (17). Do not tighten. Insert guide rod into second hole from bottom of idler bracket plate (for average mowing conditions).
Adjust the mower to proper cutting height. The front of the mower should be slightly lower than the rear for the best cutting and least power requirement. Idler Adjustment: Make minor belt adjustment with idlers but keep left idler about 1" above being in line with the groove in which the belt runs on the center sheave of the mower and right idler about 1" below. Move mower fore and aft for major adjustments. On L306K210, K260, S & F10, use belt takeup idlers on mower deck for major adjustment.
