CUTTING HEIGHT ADJUSTMENT WARNING Keep all persons away from operator control area while performing adjustments, service, or maintenance. NOTICE ■ Avoid low cutting heights. Striking the ground with blades produces one of the most damaging shock loads a mower can encounter. Allowing blades to contact ground repeatedly will cause damage to mower and drive. 1. Level mower from side to side. Check by measuring from mower frame to the ground at each deck rail. 2. Verify that the same amount of spacers are under all caster arms. 3. Loosen cap screws that attach caster arm assembly to deck. 4. Set mower on the ground. 1. A. B. C. D. E.

Top Link Adjustment (Rev. 10/1/2013) MAN0845 (1/12/2011) FRONT CASTER WHEEL INTERFERENCE CHECK using proper procedure. Inspect and repair any damage before resuming operation. NOTICE Power for operating mower is supplied by tractor PTO. Operate PTO at 540 rpm. Know how to stop tractor and mower quickly in an emergency. ■ Do not operate tractor and mower until this interference check has been performed. If you change tractors, you must perform the check for that mounting. If mower becomes plugged causing belt to slip for over two seconds follow these steps: 1. Maneuver equipment into a previously cut area and allow mower to clear accumulated material. 2. Continue running at least two minutes, allowing pulleys to cool. Stopping the mower in contact with a very hot pulley will bake and ruin belt. Proper ground speed will depend upon the terrain, the height, and type and density of material to be cut. Normally, ground speed will range from 2 to 5 mph. Tall dense material should be cut at a low speed; thin medium-height material can be cut at a faster ground speed. Always operate tractor PTO at 540 rpm to maintain proper blade speed and produce a clean cut. Figure 8. Front Caster Wheel Interference Check Perform this check with all of the spacers above caster wheel arm. This will place caster wheels in their highest position and provide lowest cutting height for mower. 1. Raise mower with tractor hydraulics to 16" at dimension C or maximum height of tractor lift, whichever is less. 2. Pivot both front caster wheels forward and check that there is clearance between caster wheels and tractor tires. 3. If there is interference adjust mower hitch arm (E) as shown in Figure 7. NOTE: If interference continues, see tractor operator's manual and adjust tractor wheels to narrower spacing. FRONT ROLLER (OPTIONAL) The caster wheels and side skids effectively reduce scalping in most cases. However, you may encounter areas where the caster wheels and/or side skids drop into depressions and allow center of the mower to contact ground and scalp. An optional front roller may be installed to minimize scalping. See page 32. OPERATING TECHNIQUE Under certain conditions, tractor tires may roll some grass down and prevent it from being cut at the same height as the surrounding area. When this occurs, reduce your ground speed, but maintain PTO at 540 rpm. The lower ground speed will permit grass to partially rebound. In general, lower cutting heights give a more even cut and leave less tire tracks. However, it is better to cut grass frequently rather than too short. Short grass deteriorates rapidly in hot weather and invites weed growth during growing seasons. Follow local recommendations for the suitable cutting height in your area. Operating Tips WARNING Inspect and clear area of stones, branches, or other hard objects that might be thrown, causing injury or damage. Extremely tall material should be cut twice. Set mower at a higher cutting height for the first pass. Then cut at desired height, 90 degrees to the first pass. Remember, sharp blades produce cleaner cuts and require less power. CAUTION Stop power unit and implement immediately upon striking an obstruction. Dismount power unit, MAN0845 (1/12/2011) Analyze area to be cut to determine the best procedure. Consider height and type of grass and terrain type: hilly, level, or rough. Operation 13 Plan your mowing pattern to travel straight forward whenever possible. Mow with uncut grass to the right. This will distribute the clippings over the cut area. Uneven Terrain WARNING Do not operate or transport on steep slopes. Do not stop, start, or change directions suddenly on slopes. Use extreme care and reduce ground speed on slopes and rough terrain. Watch for hidden hazards on the terrain during operation. Pass diagonally through sharp dips and avoid sharp drops to prevent hanging up tractor and mower. Practice will improve your skills in maneuvering rough terrain.

If you need help, your dealer has trained service technicians available. For your protection, read and follow the safety information in this manual. WARNING Never allow children or untrained persons to operate equipment. Keep bystanders away from equipment. Before working underneath, carefully read Operator’s Manual instructions, disconnect driveline, raise mower, securely block up all corners with jackstands, and check stability. Secure blocking prevents equipment from dropping due to hydraulic leak down, hydraulic system failures, or mechanical component failures. Keep all persons away from operator control area while performing adjustments, service, or maintenance. Operate tractor PTO at 540 RPM. Do not exceed. CAUTION Always wear relatively tight and belted clothing to avoid getting caught in moving parts. Wear sturdy, rough-soled work shoes and protective equipment for eyes, hair, hands, hearing, and head; and respirator or filter mask where appropriate. BLOCKING METHOD Do not work underneath mower unless it is properly attached to the tractor and blocked securely. When properly attached, the unit will be anchored to minimize front to rear movement. Raise mower completely, set tractor brakes, turn engine off, remove key, block tractor wheels front and rear, and disconnect mower driveline from tractor. The only approved blocking device for this mower is a jackstand with a load rating of 1000 pounds or more. One jackstand under each corner of the mower (four total) must be installed before working underneath. See Figure 9. When blocking, you must consider overall stability of the unit. Just blocking under the unit will not ensure your safety. The working surface must be level and solid to support the loaded weight of the jackstands. Test jackstands stability before working under any portion of the mower. (Rev. 10/1/2013) MAN0845 (1/12/2011) Figure 9. Blocking Method LUBRICATION INFORMATION Do not let excess grease collect on or around parts, particularly when operating in sandy areas. Figure 10 shows the lubrication points. The accompanying chart gives the frequency of lubrication in operating hours, based on normal operating conditions. Severe or unusual conditions may require more frequent lubrication. Some reference numbers have more than one location; be sure you lubricate all locations. Use a lithium grease of #2 consistency with a MOLY (molybdenum disulfide) additive for all locations. Be sure to clean fittings thoroughly before attaching grease gun. When applied according to the lubrication chart, one good pump of most guns is sufficient. Use SAE 90W gear lube in the gearbox. Fill to plug on side of gearbox. Check gearbox daily for evidence of leakage at both seals and the gasket between the housing and cover. If leakage is noted, repair immediately. There may be a small amount of lube emitted from the vent plug; this is not considered leakage. Overfilling the gearbox will cause the excess gear lube to blow out vent plug and ruin the belt. Driveshaft Lubrication Lubricate the driveshaft slip joint every 8 operating hours. Failure to maintain proper lubrication could result in damage to U-joints, gearbox, and driveshaft. 1. Lower mower to ground. 2. Apply grease at three locations shown in Figure 10. 3. Raise and lower mower several times to distribute grease.

BLADE SERVICE WARNING Figure 11. Belt Routing BELT SERVICE Belt Replacement One of the major causes of belt failure is improper installation. Before installing a new belt, check the following: Before dismounting power unit or performing any service or maintenance, follow these steps: disengage power to equipment, lower the 3-point hitch and all raised components to the ground, operate valve levers to release any hydraulic pressure, set parking brake, stop engine, remove key, and unfasten seat belt. 1. Check pulley shafts and bearings for wear. 2. Check pulley grooves for cleanliness. 3. Make sure spindles turn freely and without wobble. If grooves require cleaning, moisten a cloth with a nonflammable, non-toxic degreasing agent or commercial detergent and water. Avoid excessive force during installation. Do not use tools to pry belt into pulley groove. Do not roll belt over pulleys to install. This can cause hidden damage and premature belt failure. Keep all persons away from operator control area while performing adjustments, service, or maintenance. Blade Removal 1. Remove Nylok bolt (5). 2. Remove blade lock (4) from groove in blade pin. 3. Remove blade (2) and pin (3) from spindle assembly (1). Belt Installation 1. Disconnect idler spring from deck lug I. 2. Slide belt under drive pulley A and over idler arm.

Blade Sharpening NOTICE ■ When sharpening blades, grind the same amount on each blade to maintain balance. Replace blades in pairs. Unbalanced blades will cause excessive vibration, which can damage gearbox bearings. Vibration may also cause structural cracks to cutter. 18 Owner Service Full chain shielding must be installed when operating in populated areas or other areas where thrown objects could injure people or damage property. • If this machine is not equipped with full chain shielding, operation must be stopped when anyone comes within 300 feet (92 m). • This shielding is designed to reduce the risk of thrown objects. The mower deck and protective 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). Check that chain shielding is in good condition and replace any damaged chain links. 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).

Many steps are dependent on each other. Repair to this gearbox is limited to replacing bearings, seals, and gaskets. Replacing gears, shafts, and a housing is not cost effective. It is more economical to purchase a complete gearbox if repair to anything other than replacement of bearings, seals or gaskets is required. Fill gearbox with SAE 80W or 90W gear lube until it runs out the side level plug. Bearing failure is indicated by excessive noise and side to side or end play in gear shafts. Seal Replacement Recommended sealant for gearbox repair is Permatex® Aviation 3D Form-A-Gasket or equivalent. Leakage can occur at the vertical or horizontal gaskets and shaft seals. Leakage at the horizontal gasket or seal can be repaired without removing the gearbox from the cutter. Inspect gearbox for leakage and bad bearings. Seal Installation Leakage is a very serious problem and must be corrected immediately. NOTE: Proper seal installation is important. An improperly installed seal will leak. 24 Dealer Service MAN0845 (1/12/2011) 1. Clean area in housing where seal outer diameter (OD) seats. Apply a thin coat of Permatex. 2. Inspect area of shaft where seal seats. Remove any burrs or nicks with an emery cloth. 3. Lubricate gear shaft and seal lips. 4. Place seal squarely on housing, spring-loaded lip toward housing. Select a piece of pipe or tubing with an OD that will sit on the outside edge of the seal but will clear the housing. Tubing with an OD that is too small will bow seal cage and ruin seal. 5. Carefully press seal into housing, avoiding distortion to the metal seal cage. 1. 2. 3. 4. 3. If the leak occurred at either end of horizontal shaft, remove oil cap (20) and/or oil seal (19).
