Shielding Repair; Servicing Tires Safely - Woods BATWING BW20.61Q Operator's Manual

SHIELDING REPAIR

DANGER DANGER
 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 (92 m).
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.
SERVICE TIRES SAFELY
Used Aircraft Tires (Figure 11)
WARNING WARNING
MAN1282 (3/09/2020)
Figure 10. 4-Plate Slip Clutch Assembly
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.
