TRAINING
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.
It has been said, “The best safety device is an
informed, careful operator.” We ask you to be
that kind of operator.
SAFETY RULES

SERVICE
LA1
LUBRICATION
Grease blade spindle shaft every 24 hours of operation
until some grease is forced out around top of shaft.
This is necessary to ensure that enough grease has
been forced in to reach top bearing of spindle. V-belt
idlers have sealed ball bearings and do not need lubrication.
V-BELT
Belt should be adjusted so it is tight enough to hold
power of tractor when mowing. When belt replacement
is necessary, use only the belt recommended by your
Woods dealer. These belts are of special construction
for shock loading and severe use. Idler pulleys must be
kept in proper alignment so that V-belt will run
smoothly.
MAIN SPINDLE ASSEMBLY
The spindle assembly is equipped with two tapered
roller bearings. Proper adjustment is maintained by a
sleeve welded on the shaft. These bearings are not
intended to be adjusted during their useful life.
BLADE SERVICING
NOTE: On 42-6 mowers, all crossbars rotate in a clock-
wise rotation except models L42AC/B & C-6 C L42A-6.
Ensure you order correct replacement blades and
install them correctly for your machine. Insert blade into
crossbar; ensure cutting edge points in direction of
crossbar rotation. Install blade pin into crossbar
through blade; rotate blade retainer over blade and
tighten locking bolt.
LUBRICATION OF OVERRUNNING
CLUTCH
Oil only occasionally and just enough to keep a film of
oil on internal parts. Excess oil will prevent ratchet
teeth from fully engaging, resulting in premature failure.
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.
Removal
Loosen locking bolt, rotate blade retainer and drive
blade pin up out of crossbar and blade. Slide blade out
of crossbar. Always sharpen or replace blades in pairs
to maintain proper balance. Use genuine Woods
blades for replacement. They are made of special steel
alloy and are subjected to rigid heat-treat and inspection requirements. Substitute blades may not meet
these rigid specifications and could be dangerous.
Installation
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).
