SAFETY RULES
ATTENTION! BECOME ALERT! YOUR SAFETY IS INVOLVED!
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.

TRAINING
Safety instructions are important! Read all
attachment and power unit manuals; follow all
safety rules and safety decal information. (Replacement 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 1-800-3196637.) 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.
If you do not understand any part of this manual
and need assistance, see your dealer.
Operators must be instructed in and be capable
of the safe operation of the equipment, its attachments, and all controls. Do not allow anyone to
operate this equipment without proper instructions.
Never allow children or untrained persons to
operate equipment.

WARNING

Make sure spring-activated locking pin or collar
slides freely and is seated firmly in tractor PTO
spline groove.

Keep all persons away from operator control
area while performing adjustments, service, or
maintenance.

The standard 1-3/8" 6B-spline driveline with a QD yoke
is used to connect the mower to the tractor.

IMPORTANT

1. Attach the mower hitch pins to the lower tractor lift
arms and secure.
2. Attach tractor top link (1), Figure 2, to mower top
link bracket attachment point A. Connect the
driveline to the tractor PTO shaft.
3. Attach tether chain to tractor drawbar (Figure 3).
4. Adjust the tractor lower 3-point arm anti-sway
devices to prevent mower from swinging side to
side during transport.

■

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.

FRONT CASTER ARM CONFIGURATION
For RD6000-2 & RD7200-2 only
The RD6000-2 and RD7200-2 front casters can be set
in two positions using the right and left offset caster
arms. Figure 8 shows a right offset assembly.
Check the offset position by looking from mounting
hole A to pivot tube B. The pivot tube should be higher
than the mounting holes.
Figure 8 shows the two possible configurations for the
RD6000-2 and RD7200-2 front caster arms.
●

The inner position allows the outside edge of the
mower to be used for trimming under shrubs or
fences.

●

The outer position provides the most clearance for
rear tractor tire interference.

Figure 5. Height Adjustment with Caster Arm Spacers

TRACTOR TOP LINK ADJUSTMENT
When the cutting height is set, adjust tractor top link
until mower top link attachment point A is aligned vertically with mower hitch pin B.
Adjust tractor top link so mower is level between caster
wheel and ground (dimension C Figure 7). This will
allow the mower to follow ground contour.

10 Operation

To change configurations, remove the cap screws and
nuts and move the arms from one side of the machine
to the other. Secure with hardware.
The rear caster arms should be mounted as shown.

MAN0180 (Rev. 1/7/2005)

CAUTION
Stop power unit and implement immediately
upon striking an obstruction. Dismount power unit,
using proper procedure. Inspect and repair any
damage before resuming operation.
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.

Operation 11

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.
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.

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.

REMOVING MOWER FROM TRACTOR
AND STORAGE
1. Disengage tractor PTO and raise mower with the
3-point hitch.
2. Disconnect mower driveshaft from tractor PTO.
3. Collapse driveshaft as far as possible and store it
in PTO hanger bracket to prevent ground contact.
4. Before extended storage, see page 17 for cleaning
instructions.

OPERATING TIPS

WARNING

5. Place blocks under mower side skids. Lower
mower onto blocks, disconnect mower from tractor
3-point hitch, and carefully drive tractor away from
mower.

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.
Analyze area to be cut to determine the best procedure. Consider height and type of grass and terrain
type: hilly, level, or rough.
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.

Operation 13

OWNER SERVICE
The information in this section is written for operators
who possess basic mechanical skills. If you need help,
your dealer has trained service technicians available.
For your protection, read and follow the safety information in this manual.

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 this
unit.
Install jackstands under each corner of the mower.

CAUTION
Always wear relatively tight and belted clothing
to avoid entanglement 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.

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.

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 the RPM speed stated in
“Specifications” section.

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.

LUBRICATION INFORMATION
Do not let excess grease collect on or around parts,
particularly when operating in sandy areas.
Figure 12 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.

(Rev. 4/28/2006)
MAN0180 (Rev. 1/7/2005)

Driveshaft Lubrication

Use SAE 90W gear lube in the gearbox. Fill to plug on
side of gearbox.

Lubricate the driveshaft slip joint every 8 operating
hours. Failure to maintain proper lubrication could
result in damage to U-joints, gearbox, and driveshaft.

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.

1. Lower mower to ground.
2. Apply grease at three locations as shown in Figure
12.

Overfilling the gearbox will cause the excess gear lube
to blow out vent plug and ruin the belt.

3. Raise and lower mower several times to distribute
grease.

BELT SERVICE
Belt Replacement
One of the major causes of belt failure is improper
installation. Before installing a new belt, check the following:

6. Adjust belt guide G to provide 1/16" to 1/8"
clearance from belt. Tighten bolt to 85 lb.-ft.

BLADE SERVICE

WARNING

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.

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.
Keep all persons away from operator control
area while performing adjustments, service, or
maintenance.

GEARBOX REPAIR
Read this entire section before starting any repair.
Many steps are dependent on each other.
Fill gearbox with SAE 80W or 90W gear lube until it
runs out the side level plug.
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.
Inspect gearbox for leakage and bad bearings.
Leakage is a very serious problem and must be corrected immediately.
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.
