SHIELDING REPAIR

 Full chain shielding must be installed at all
times. Thrown objects could injure people or dam-
age 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 protec-
tive 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)
WARNING
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.
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.
