SAFETY RULES
ATTENTION! BECOME ALERT! YOUR SAFETY IS INVOLVED!
This Sub-Frame Mounting Kit is only for the
backhoes and tractors specified in the Sub-Frame
Mount Installation section of this manual. Any
other use or modification of this mounting kit may
result in serious injury or death.
Hydraulics must be connected as instructed in
this manual. Do not substitute parts, modify, or
connect in any other way.
After connecting hoses, check that all control
lever positions function as instructed in the Opera-
tor's Manual. Do not put into service until control
lever and equipment movements are correct.
Safety instructions are important! Read all
attachment and power unit manuals; follow all
safety rules and safety decal information. (Replace-
ment manuals and safety decals are available from
your dealer. To locate your nearest dealer, check
the Dealer Locator at www.WoodsEquipment.com,
or in the United States and Canada call 1-800-319-
6637.) Failure to follow instructions or safety rules
can result in serious injury or death.
Know your controls and how to stop engine and
attachment quickly in an emergency.
Keep hands and body away from pressurized
lines. Use paper or cardboard, not hands or other
body parts to check for leaks. Wear safety goggles.
Hydraulic fluid under pressure can easily penetrate
skin and will cause serious injury or death.
Make sure that all operating and service person-
nel know that if hydraulic fluid penetrates skin, it
must be surgically removed as soon as possible by
a doctor familiar with this form of injury or gan-
grene, serious injury, or death will result. CON-
TACT A PHYSICIAN IMMEDIATELY IF FLUID
ENTERS SKIN OR EYES. DO NOT DELAY.
To prevent contamination during maintenance
and storage, clean and then cover hose ends, fit-
tings, and hydraulic ports with tape.
Check that all hardware is properly installed.
Always tighten to torque chart specifications
unless instructed otherwise in this manual.
This mounting kit is designed to provide secure
mounting and adequate operator clearance for
most operators when properly installed. Check
clearance dimensions shown below to be sure you
have installed seat bracket correctly. In some
cases it may be necessary to adjust the seat to the
lowest position and/or as far forward as possible in
order to achieve the ideal 40-inch clearance. For
36.5-inch radius operation, taller operators may
need to wear a hardhat for greater comfort and
safety.
Air in hydraulic systems can cause erratic oper-
ation and allows loads or equipment components
to drop unexpectedly. When connecting equipment
or hoses or performing any hydraulic maintenance,
purge any air in hydraulic system by operating all
hydraulic functions several times. Do this before
putting into service or allowing anyone to
approach the equipment.
Protective hose sleeves must cover all hydrau-
lic hoses within 20 inches of the operator and be
secured onto metal hose fittings. Replace hoses or
sleeves if damaged or if protective sleeve cannot
be properly positioned or secured.

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 preven-
tion are dependent upon the awareness, con-
cern, 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.
