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.

INSTALLATION
Hydraulics must be connected as instructed in
this manual. Do not substitute parts, modify, or
connect in any other way.

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.
If you do not understand any part of this manual
and need assistance, see your dealer.
Know your controls and how to stop engine and
attachment quickly in an emergency.
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.
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 personnel 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 gangrene, serious injury, or death will result. CON-

BW180_ SR (Rev. 12/10/2007)

TACT A P HYS ICIA N IM ME DIATE LY IF FLU ID
ENTERS SKIN OR EYES. DO NOT DELAY.
Never allow children or untrained persons to
operate equipment.

PREPARATION
Check that all hardware is properly installed.
Always tighten to torque chart specifications
unless instructed otherwise in this manual.
Air in hydraulic systems can cause erratic operation 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
p ut t i ng i n t o s e r v i c e o r a l l o w i n g a n y o n e t o
approach the equipment.
Make sure all hydraulic hoses, fittings, and
valves are in good condition and not leaking before
starting power unit or using equipment. Check and
route hoses carefully to prevent damage. Hoses
must not be twisted, bent sharply, kinked, frayed,
pinched, or come into contact with any moving
parts. Operate moveable components through full
operational range to check clearances. Replace
any damaged hoses immediately.
After connecting hoses, check that all control
lever positions function as instructed in the Operator's Manual. Do not put into service until control
lever and equipment movements are correct.
Set tractor hydraulic relief valve at 2500 psi (170
bars) (17,000 kPa) to prevent injury and equipment
damage due to hydraulic system failure.
Your dealer can supply original equipment
hydraulic accessories and repair parts. Substitute
parts may not meet original equipment specifications and may be dangerous.
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.
Make sure attachment is properly secured,
adjusted, and in good operating condition.
Make sure spring-activated locking pin or collar
slides freely and is seated firmly in tractor PTO
spline groove.

SAFETY RULES
ATTENTION! BECOME ALERT! YOUR SAFETY IS INVOLVED!
(Safety Rules continued from previous page)

Make sure driveline guard tether chains are
attached to the tractor and equipment as shown in
the pamphlet that accompanies the driveline.
Replace if damaged or broken. Check that driveline
guards rotate freely on driveline before putting
equipment into service.
Before starting power unit, check all equipment
driveline guards for damage. Replace any damaged
guards. Make sure all guards rotate freely on all
drivelines. If guards do not rotate freely on drivelines, repair and replace bearings before putting
equipment into service.

Always attach safety chain to tractor drawbar
when transporting unit.
Always comply with all state and local lighting
and marking requirements.
Never allow riders on power unit or attachment.
Do not operate PTO during transport.
Do not operate or transport on steep slopes.
Do not operate or transport equipment while
under the influence of alcohol or drugs.

Remove accumulated debris from this equipment, power unit, and engine to avoid fire hazard.

The maximum transport speed for towed and
semi-mounted machines is 20 mph (32 km/h).
Regardless of the maximum speed capability of the
towing tractor, do not exceed the implement’s maximum transport speed. Doing so could result in:
• Loss of control of the implement and tractor
• Reduced or no ability to stop during braking
• Implement tire failure
• Damage to the implement or its components.

Make sure all safety decals are installed.
Replace if damaged. (See Safety Decals section for
location.)

Use additional caution and reduce speed when
under adverse surface conditions, turning, or on
inclines.

Power unit must be equipped with ROPS or
ROPS cab and seat belt. Keep seat belt securely
fastened. Falling off power unit can result in death
from being run over or crushed. Keep foldable
ROPS system in “locked up” position at all times.

Make sure shields and guards are properly
installed and in good condition. Replace if damaged.
Do not put this equipment into service unless all
side skids are properly installed and in good condition. Replace if damaged.
A minimum 20% of tractor and equipment
weight must be on the tractor front wheels when
attachments are in transport position. Without this
weight, tractor could tip over, causing personal
injury or death. The weight may be attained with a
loader, front wheel weights, ballast in tires or front
tractor weights. Weigh the tractor and equipment.
Do not estimate.
Inspect and clear area of stones, branches, or
other hard objects that might be thrown, causing
injury or damage.

TRANSPORTATION
Power unit must be equipped with ROPS or
ROPS cab and seat belt. Keep seat belt securely
fastened. Falling off power unit can result in death
from being run over or crushed. Keep foldable
ROPS system in “locked up” position at all times.
Always raise unit and install transport locks
before transporting. Leak down or failure of
mechanical or hydraulic system can cause equipment to drop.

8 Safety

Never tow this implement with a motor vehicle.

OPERATION
Do not allow bystanders in the area when operating, attaching, removing, assembling, or servicing equipment.
Never walk, stand, or place yourself or others
under a raised wing or in the path of a lowering
wing. Hydraulic system leak-down, hydraulic system failures, mechanical failures, or movement of
control levers can cause wings to drop unexpectedly and cause severe injury or death.
Full chain or rubber 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
or rubber 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).
Never direct discharge toward people, animals,
or property.

BW180_SR (Rev. 12/10/2007)

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

CONNECTING CUTTER TO TRACTOR

NOTICE
■

For tractors with a 1-3/8" diameter PTO shaft,
the horizontal distance from the end of the tractor
PTO shaft to the center of drawbar pin should be
14" for 540 rpm cutter and 16" for the 1000 rpm cutters. This will minimize joint knock and damage to
drive components.

Always operate tractor PTO at 540 rpm on BW180 and
BW126; on BW180Q and BW126Q operate PTO at
1,000 rpm.

DANGER
Full chain or rubber 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
or rubber 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).

WARNING

Figure 1. Cutter to Tractor Connection
1. Attach cutter using a 1-1/2" clevis pin and clip.
2. Attach safety tow chain (32) to drawbar support.
Leave enough slack for turning (Figure 1).
3. Connect cutter driveline to tractor PTO shaft,
making sure the spring-activated lock pin slides
freely and is seated in tractor PTO splined groove.

Never allow children or untrained persons to
operate equipment.

4. Attach driveline shield tether chain to tractor
drawbar to prevent rotation.

Do not allow bystanders in the area when operating, attaching, removing, assembling, or servicing equipment.

NOTE: CV driveline does not require a tether
chain.

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

CAUTION
Stop power unit and equipment immediately
upon striking an obstruction. Turn off engine,
remove key, inspect, and repair any damage before
resuming operation.
Always wear relatively tight and belted clothing
to avoid getting caught in moving parts. Wear
sturdy, rough-soled work shoes and protective

5. Remove parking jack (29) from the tongue and
attach it to the storage post on the front of the left
wing.
NOTE: Equal Angle Drive Only: With cutting height
established, adjust the 3-joint H-frame bearing
height so that the front driveline is parallel to the
ground.

Hydraulic Connection
1. Inspect hydraulic hoses to ensure they are in good
condition.
2. Clean the fittings before connecting them to the
tractor hydraulic ports.

MAN0707 (5/30/2008)

3. Route the hose through the hose holder at the
hitch and be sure the hose can slide freely in the
holder. Do not allow hose slack to drag on the
ground or become caught on tractor protrusions.
4. Attach the hydraulic hose to the tractor.
5. From the operator position, start tractor and raise
and lower deck several times to purge trapped air
from the hydraulic cylinder.

Interference Check
1. Be sure that tractor 3-point lift links do not interfere
with hydraulic hoses, cutter driveline, or cutter
frame.
2. Check for straight-ahead operation and at full
turning angles. If there is any interference, remove
the lower lift links.
3. Contact between tractor lift links and cutter parts
can cause damage, especially when turning.

CV Driveline Turning Limits

NOTICE
■

You must not exceed a turning angle of 80
degrees at the head of the Constant Velocity driveline or damage will occur.
1. To check for potential excessive turn angle,
disconnect the driveline from tractor.
2. Start engine and turn as far right or left as possible.
3. Shut engine off and try to connect CV driveline to
tractor. If it cannot be connected, the turn angle is
too severe.
4. Restart engine and straighten angle slightly, shut
off engine and try to connect CV driveline to tractor.
5. Repeat the process until the driveline can be
connected. The point at which the driveline can be
connected is the maximum turn that should be
made.

Cutting Height Adjustment

WARNING
On pull-type or semi-mounted units with
optional hydraulic cutting height adjustment, use a
single-acting cylinder with a maximum extended
length of 28-1/4" (718 mm) from attaching point
center to center.

NOTICE
■

Avoid ground contact with blades. Striking
ground with blades produces one of the most damaging shock loads a cutter can encounter. If this

MAN0707 (5/30/2008)

occurs repeatedly, the cutter, driveline, and gearboxes will be damaged.
Cutting height range is from 1" to 15". A hydraulic cylinder or ratchet jack is available for cutting height adjustment.
When selecting a cutting height, you should consider
the area of operation. If the ground is rolling and has
mounds the blades could contact, set the cutting height
accordingly. The cutting height (blade edge) is approximately 1" above the bottom of the side skid.
Cutting Height (Normal Mowing) - Center Section
1. Position the cutter on a hard level surface and
select an approximate cutting height, Example 6".
2. Raise wings and lock them in the UP position.
3. Use any of the optional cutting height mechanisms
to raise or lower the center section to obtain a
distance of 5" from bottom edge of skid shoe to the
ground.
4. Loosen jam nuts on the attitude rod that runs from
the wheel yoke to the tongue.
5. Adjust rod in or out until the rear of the cutter is
approximately 1/2" higher than the front.
6. Tighten jam nuts against sleeve.
Cutting Height (Normal Mowing) - Wings
1. Lower wings to normal mowing position.
2. Loosen the jam nut on the adjustable link (turn
buckle).
3. Lengthening the link will raise the wing, shortening
the link will lower the wing. The rear edge of the
wing should be parallel to the ground.
When using the cutter to shred, the rear of the cutter
deck should be approximately 1/2" to 1" lower than the
front.
NOTE: Equal Angle Drive Only: With the cutting height
established, adjust the driveline carrier bearing in the
H-frame to ensure the front driveline is parallel to the
ground with cutter in cutting position.

TRACTOR OPERATION
Use care when operating around tree limbs and other
low objects. Avoid being knocked off tractor and being
injured.
Only use a tractor with a Roll Over Protection Structure
(ROPS) and seat belt. Securely fasten seat belt.
The cutter is operated with tractor controls. Engage the
PTO at a low rpm to prevent excessive loads on the
cutter drive system. Increase throttle to recommended
PTO operating RPM.

Operation 15

Be sure operator is familiar with all controls and can
stop tractor and cutter quickly in an emergency. The
operator should give complete, undivided attention to
operating tractor and cutter.

CUTTER OPERATION
When beginning operation of the cutter, make sure that
all persons are in a safe location.
Power for operating the cutter is supplied by the tractor
PTO. Operate PTO at 540 (1000 RPM for "Q" models).

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.

Know how to stop the tractor and cutter quickly in an
emergency.
Engage PTO at a low engine, rpm to minimize stress
on the drive system and gearbox.
With PTO engaged, raise PTO speed to 540 or 1000
RPM depending on model and maintain throughout
cutting operation.

CAUTION
Stop power unit and equipment immediately
upon striking an obstruction. Turn off engine,
remove key, inspect, and repair any damage before
resuming operation.

Gearbox protection is provided by a slip clutch with
replacement fiber disc. The slip clutch is designed to
slip when excessive torsional loads occur.

Maximum recommended ground speed for cutting or
shredding is 6 miles per hour. Adjust tractor ground
speed by using higher or lower gears to provide a clean
cut without lugging tractor engine.

Move slowly into material. Adjust tractor ground speed
to provide a clean cut without lugging the tractor
engine.

Tall material should be cut twice. Cut material higher
the first pass. Cut at desired height at 90 degrees the
second pass.

Use a slow ground speed for better shredding.

Remember, sharp blades produce cleaner cuts and
use less power.

Proper ground speed will depend on the terrain and the
material’s height, type, and density.
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 proper RPM (540 or
1000 depending on model) to maintain blade speed
and to produce a clean cut.
Under certain conditions tractor tires may roll down
some grass and prevent cutting at the same height as
the surrounding area. When this occurs, reduce your
ground speed but maintain PTO at 540 or 1000 RPM.
The lower ground speed will permit grass to rebound
partially.

Mowing Tips

WARNING
Look down and to the rear and make sure area
is clear before operating in reverse.

16 Operation

Before entering an area, analyze it to determine the
best procedure. Consider the height and type of material to be cut and the terrain type (hilly, level or rough,
etc.).

Shredding
The cutter may be used to shred various crops including green manure, straw, stubble, asparagus residue,
corn stalks and similar crops in preparation for tilling. It
may also be used to shred pruning in orchards, groves
and vineyards.
Each shredding operation may require a different setup. Start with front edge of cutter high. Adjust up or
down as necessary with attitude rod. Experiment until
you obtain the results you want.
When shredding attitude is set, check that the distance
from the bottom rear edge of the wing to the ground
matches the bottom edge of the rear center section to
the ground. With the cutting height and attitude established, adjust the driveline carrier bearing in the Hframe to ensure the front driveline is parallel to the
ground.

MAN0707 (5/30/2008)

MAN0707 (5/30/2008)

BLOCKING METHOD
To minimize the potential hazards of working underneath the cutter, follow these procedures:

WARNING
Before performing any service or maintenance,
lower equipment to ground or block securely, turn
off engine, remove key, and disconnect driveline
from tractor PTO.
Never go underneath equipment (lowered to the
ground or raised) unless it is properly blocked and
secured. Never place any part of the body underneath equipment or between moveable parts even
when the engine has been turned off. Hydraulic
system leak down, hydraulic system failures,
mechanical failures, or movement of control levers
can cause equipment to drop or rotate unexpectedly and cause severe injury or death. Follow Operator's Manual instructions for working underneath
and blocking requirements or have work done by a
qualified dealer.
Do not position jackstands under wheels, axles, or
wheel supports. Components can rotate and cause cutter to fall.
1. Jackstands with a load rating of 1000 lbs. or more
are the only approved blocking device for this
cutter. Install jackstands (shown by Xs in Figure 5)
under the cutter before working underneath unit.
2. Consider the overall stability of the blocked unit.
Just placing jackstands underneath will not ensure
your safety.
The working surface must be level and solid to
support the weight on the jackstands. Make sure
jackstands are stable, both top and bottom. Make
sure cutter is approximately level.
3. With full cutter weight lowered onto jackstands, test
blocking stability before working underneath.
4. If cutter is attached to tractor when blocking, set
the brakes, remove key, and block cutter before
working underneath.

LUBRICATION
Do not let excess grease collect on or around parts,
particularly when operating in sandy areas.
See Figure 5 for lubrication points and frequency or
lubrication based on normal operating conditions.
Severe or unusual conditions may require more frequent lubrication.
Use a lithium grease of #2 consistency with a MOLY
(molybdenum disulfide) additive for all locations unless
otherwise noted. Be sure to clean fittings thoroughly
before attaching grease gun. One good pump of most
guns is sufficient when the lubrication schedule is followed.

Gearbox Lubrication
For gearbox, use a high quality gear oil with a viscosity
index of 80W or 90W and an API service rating of GL–

20 Owner Service

4 or –5 in gearboxes. Fill gearbox until oil runs out the
side plug on gearbox. Check gearbox daily for evidence of leakage, and contact your dealer if leakage
occurs. Use sealant on vent plug threads during installation. Check vent plug periodically and clean if it does
not relieve pressure.

Driveline Lubrication
1. Lubricate the driveline slip joint every eight
operating hours. Failure to maintain proper
lubrication could result in damage to U-joints,
gearbox, and driveline.
2. Lower cutter to ground, disconnect driveline from
tractor PTO shaft, and slide halves apart but do not
disconnect from each other.
3. Apply a bead of grease completely around male
half where it meets female half. Slide drive halves
over each other several times to distribute grease.

Blade Sharpening

SLIP CLUTCH ADJUSTMENT (FIGURE 8)

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.

1. Sharpen both blades at the same time to maintain
balance. Follow original sharpening pattern.
2. Do not sharpen blade to a razor edge—leave at
least a 1/16" blunt edge.
3. Do not sharpen back side of blade.

The slip clutch is designed to slip so that the gearbox
and driveline are protected if the cutter strikes an
obstruction.
A new slip clutch or one that has been in storage over
the winter may seize. Before operating the cutter, make
sure it will slip by performing the following operation:
1. Turn off tractor engine and remove key.
2. Remove driveline from tractor PTO.
3. Loosen six 10 mm cap screws (6) to remove all
tension from Belleville spring plate (5).
4. Hold clutch hub (3) solid and turn shaft to make
sure clutch slips.
5. If clutch does not slip freely, disassemble and clean
the thrust plate faces (4), flange yoke (1), and
clutch hub (3).
6. Reassemble clutch.
7. Tighten Belleville spring (5) until it is against the
thrust plate (4) of the clutch, and then back off each
of the six nuts by 2 full revolutions. The gap
between Belleville spring and thrust plate should
be 1/8" as shown in Figure 8.
8. If a clutch continues to slip when the spring is
compressed to 1/8" gap, check friction discs (2) for
excessive wear. Discs are 1/8" when new. Replace
discs after 1/16" wear. Minimum disc thickness is
1/16".

SERVICING TIRES SAFELY
Used Aircraft Tires (Figure 9)

WARNING

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.

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 extension 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.

DEALER SERVICE
The information in this section is written for dealer service personnel. The repair described here requires
special skills and tools. If your shop is not properly
equipped or your mechanics are not properly trained in
this type of repair, you may be time and money ahead
to replace complete assemblies.

WARNING

Seal Replacement (Figure 12)
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.
Seal Installation

Before working underneath, read manual
instructions, securely block up, and check stability.
Secure blocking prevents equipment from dropping due to hydraulic leak down, hydraulic system
failure, or mechanical component failure.

NOTE: Proper seal installation is important. An improperly installed seal will leak.

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

2. Inspect area of shaft where seal seats. Remove
any burrs or nicks with an emery cloth.

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.

GEARBOX MAINTENANCE
NOTE: Read this entire section before starting any
repair. Many steps are dependent on each other.
1. Fill gearbox with SAE 80W or 90W gear lube.
Proper oil level is between lowest ring and end of
dipstick.

1. Clean area in housing where seal outer diameter
(OD) seats. Apply a thin coat of Permatex.

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,
distortion to the metal seal cage.

NOTE: Repair to this gearbox is limited to replacing bearings, seals, and gaskets. Replacing gears,
shafts, and a housing is not cost effective. Purchasing a complete gearbox is more economical.
2. Inspect gearbox for leakage and bad bearings.
Leakage is a very serious problem and must be
corrected immediately.
NOTE: Bearing failure is indicated by excessive
noise and side-to-side or end-play in gear shafts.

SERVICING TIRES SAFELY
Used Aircraft Tires (Figure 23)

WARNING

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.
Figure 22

U-Joint Assembly
1. Place seals securely on bearing cups. Insert cup
into yoke from outside and press in with hand
pressure as far as possible. Insert journal cross
into bearing cup with grease fitting away from
shaft. Be careful not to disturb needle bearings.
Insert another bearing cup directly across from first
cup and press in as far as possible with hand
pressure.

When inflating tires, use a clip-on chuck and an extension 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, damaged rims, or missing lug bolts and nuts.
Never remove split rim assembly hardware (A) with the
tire inflated.

2. Trap cups in vise and apply pressure. Be sure
journal cross is started into bearings and continue
pressure with vise, squeezing in as far as possible.
Tapping the yoke will help.
3. Seat cups by placing a drift or socket (slightly
smaller than the cup) on cup and rap with a
hammer. Install snap ring and repeat on opposite
cup.
4. Repeat Step 1 and Step 2 to install remaining cups
in remaining yoke.
5. Move both yokes in all directions to check for free
movement. If movement is restricted, rap on yokes
sharply with a hammer to relieve any tension.
Repeat until both yokes move in all directions
without restriction.

ASSEMBLY INSTRUCTIONS
DEALER SET-UP INSTRUCTIONS
Assembly of this cutter is the responsibility of the
WOODS dealer. It should be delivered to the owner
completely assembled, lubricated and adjusted for normal cutting conditions.
The cutter is shipped partially assembled. Assembly
will be easier if components are aligned and loosely
assembled before tightening hardware. Recommended
torque values for hardware are located on page 72.
Select a suitable working area. A smooth hard surface,
such as concrete, will make assembly much quicker.
Open parts boxes and lay out parts and hardware to
make location easy. Refer to illustrations, accompanying text, parts lists and exploded view drawings.
Complete the check list on page 45 when assembly is
complete and cutter is delivered to the customer.

Install Chain or Belt Shielding

DANGER
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 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).
Install chain and rubber shields with hardware as
shown. (Refer to Figure 36 for Chain Shielding Installation; Figure 38 and Figure 39 for Belt Shielding Installation.)
NOTE: Chain Shielding: Install four (two per wing) 6link chain sections (16) and four (two per wing) 4-link
chain sections (18) to the wing skid shoes. Secure with
carriage bolts (19) and flange lock nuts (21).
