SHIELDING REPAIR
■ Full chain shielding must be installed at all
times. Thrown objects could injure people or
damage property.
• If the machine is not equipped with full chain
shielding, operation must be stopped.
• This shielding is designed to reduce the risk
of thrown objects. The mower deck and pro-
tective devices cannot prevent all objects
from escaping the blade enclosure in every
mowing condition. It is possible for objects
to ricochet and escape, traveling as much as
300 feet (92m).
Repairing Chain Shielding
1.
Inspect chain shielding each day of operation and
replace any broken or missing chains as required.
2.
Replace any missing hardware.
SERVICING TIRES SAFELY
Used Aircraft Tires (Figure 9)
Do not attempt to mount a tire unless you have the
proper equipment and experience to perform the job.
Always maintain the correct tire pressure. Do not inflate
tires above the recommended pressure. Never weld or
heat a wheel and tire assembly. The heat can cause an
increase in air pressure and result in a tire explosion.
Welding can structurally weaken or deform the wheel.
When inflating tires, use a clip-on chuck and an exten
-
sion hose long enough to allow you to stand to the side
— not in front of or over the tire assembly. Use a safety
cage if available.
Check wheels for low pressure, cuts, bubbles, dam-
aged rims, or missing lug bolts and nuts.
Never remove split rim assembly hardware (A) with the
tire inflated.

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.

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 deal-
er). See Safety & Instructional Decals section for
location drawing.
