BW180_ SR (Rev. 12/10/2007)

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. (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.

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 attach-

ments, 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 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.

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 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.

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 Opera-

tor'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 specifica-

tions 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 continued on next page)

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.

SAFETY RULES

ATTENTION! BECOME ALERT! YOUR SAFETY IS INVOLVED!

8 Safety

BW180_SR (Rev. 12/10/2007)

(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 drive-

lines, repair and replace bearings before putting

equipment into service.

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.

Remove accumulated debris from this equip-

ment, power unit, and engine to avoid fire hazard.

Make sure all safety decals are installed.

Replace if damaged. (See Safety Decals section for

location.)



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 condi-

tion. 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 equip-

ment to drop.

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.

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 max-

imum 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.

Use additional caution and reduce speed when

under adverse surface conditions, turning, or on

inclines.

Never tow this implement with a motor vehicle.

OPERATION

Do not allow bystanders in the area when oper-

ating, attaching, removing, assembling, or servic-

ing 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 sys-

tem failures, mechanical failures, or movement of

control levers can cause wings to drop unexpect-

edly 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 dam-

age 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 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).

Never direct discharge toward people, animals,

or property.

before starting power unit engine.

Operate tractor PTO at 540 RPM (1000 RPM on Q

Series cutters). Do not exceed.

Raise or lower wings slowly to prevent personal

injury or damage to cutter.

Connect PTO driveline directly to power unit

PTO shaft. Never use adapter sleeves or adapter

shafts. Adapters can cause driveline failures due to

incorrect spline or incorrect operating length and

can result in personal injury or death.

Look down and to the rear and make sure area

is clear before operating in reverse.

Do not operate or transport on steep slopes.

Do not stop, start, or change directions sud-

denly on slopes.

Watch for hidden hazards on the terrain during

operation.

Stop power unit and equipment immediately

upon striking an obstruction. Turn off engine,

remove key, inspect, and repair any damage before

resuming operation.

Continuous operation while the clutch is slip-

ping could cause heat build-up resulting in fire.

Adjust slip clutch pressure by tightening springs to

the dimension shown in the “Owner Service” sec-

tion. If clutch is set to minimum spring length,

replace the friction disks as shown.

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.

MAINTENANCE

Before servicing, adjusting, repairing or unplug-

ging, stop tractor engine, place all controls in neu-

tral, set park brake, remove ignition key, and wait

for all moving parts to stop.

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 pres-

sure, set parking brake, stop engine, remove key,

and unfasten seat belt.



Before working underneath, disconnect driveline

from tractor, lower wings to ground, raise cutter,

and pin transport bar in raised position. Attach park-

ing jack and lower to ground. Securely block all four

corners of center section and each wing with jack-

stands. Blocking up prevents the cutter from drop-

ping due to hydraulic leak down, hydraulic system

failure, or mechanical component failure.

Do not modify or alter or permit anyone else to

modify or alter the equipment or any of its compo-

nents in any way.

Your dealer can supply original equipment

hydraulic accessories and repair parts. Substitute

parts may not meet original equipment specifica-

tions and may be dangerous.

 To prevent contamination during maintenance

and storage, clean and then cover hose ends, fit-

tings, and hydraulic ports with tape.

Do not allow bystanders in the area when oper-

ating, attaching, removing, assembling, or servic-

ing equipment.

Never go underneath equipment (lowered to the

ground or raised) unless it is properly blocked and

secured. Never place any part of the body under-

neath 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 unexpect-

edly and cause severe injury or death. Follow Oper-

ator's Manual instructions for working underneath

and blocking requirements or have work done by a

qualified dealer.

14 Operation

MAN0707 (5/30/2008)

OPERATION

The designed and tested safety of this machine

depends on it being operated within the limitations as

explained in this manual. Be familiar with and follow all

safety rules in the manual, on the cutter and on the

tractor.

The safe operation of this cutter is the responsibility of

the operator, who must be properly trained. The opera-

tor should be familiar with the equipment and all safety

practices before starting operation. Read the safety

information on page 7 through page 13.

Recommended tractor ground speed for most condi-

tions is from 1 to 6 mph.

Always operate tractor PTO at 540 rpm on BW180 and

BW126; on BW180Q and BW126Q operate PTO at

1,000 rpm.

Full chain or rubber shielding must be installed

when operating in populated areas or other areas

where thrown objects could injure people or dam-

age 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 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).

Never allow children or untrained persons to

operate equipment.

Do not allow bystanders in the area when oper-

ating, attaching, removing, assembling, or servic-

ing equipment.

Make sure spring-activated locking pin or collar

slides freely and is seated firmly in tractor PTO

spline groove.

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

equipment for eyes, hair, hands, hearing, and head;

and respirator or filter mask where appropriate.

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 cut-

ters. This will minimize joint knock and damage to

drive components.

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.

4. Attach driveline shield tether chain to tractor

drawbar to prevent rotation.

NOTE: CV driveline does not require a tether

chain.

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.

CAUTION

Operation 15

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 drive-

line 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

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 dam-

aging shock loads a cutter can encounter. If this

occurs repeatedly, the cutter, driveline, and gear-

boxes will be damaged.

Cutting height range is from 1" to 15". A hydraulic cylin-

der or ratchet jack is available for cutting height adjust-

ment.

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 approxi-

mately 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.

16 Operation

MAN0707 (5/30/2008)

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).

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.

Gearbox protection is provided by a slip clutch with

replacement fiber disc. The slip clutch is designed to

slip when excessive torsional loads occur.

Move slowly into material. Adjust tractor ground speed

to provide a clean cut without lugging the tractor

engine.

Use a slow ground speed for better shredding.

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

Look down and to the rear and make sure area

is clear before operating in reverse.

Do not operate or transport on steep slopes.

Do not stop, start, or change directions sud-

denly on slopes.

Use extreme care and reduce ground speed on

slopes and rough terrain.

Watch for hidden hazards on the terrain during

operation.

Stop power unit and equipment immediately

upon striking an obstruction. Turn off engine,

remove key, inspect, and repair any damage before

resuming operation.

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.

Tall material should be cut twice. Cut material higher

the first pass. Cut at desired height at 90 degrees the

second pass.

Remember, sharp blades produce cleaner cuts and

use less power.

Before entering an area, analyze it to determine the

best procedure. Consider the height and type of mate-

rial to be cut and the terrain type (hilly, level or rough,

etc.).

Shredding

The cutter may be used to shred various crops includ-

ing 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 set-

up. 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 estab-

lished, adjust the driveline carrier bearing in the H-

frame to ensure the front driveline is parallel to the

ground.

CAUTION

Operation 17

MAN0707 (5/30/2008)

TRANSPORTING

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 equip-

ment to drop.

Always attach safety chain to tractor drawbar

when transporting unit.

Never exceed 20 mph (32.2 km/h) during trans-

port.

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

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 informa-

tion in this manual.

Keep all persons away from operator control

area while performing adjustments, service, or

maintenance.

Before working underneath, disconnect drive-

line from tractor, lower wings to ground, raise cut-

ter, and pin transport bar in raised position. Attach

parking jack and lower to ground. Securely block

all four corners of center section and each wing

with jack stands. Blocking up prevents the cutter

from dropping due to hydraulic leak down, hydrau-

lic system failure, or mechanical component fail-

ure.

Service and maintenance work not covered in

OWNER SERVICE must be done by a qualified

dealership. Special skills, tools, and safety proce-

dures may be required. Failure to follow these

instructions can result in serious injury or death.

Before servicing, adjusting, repairing or unplug-

ging, stop tractor engine, place all controls in neu-

tral, set park brake, remove ignition key, and wait

for all moving parts to stop.

Never perform service or maintenance with

engine running.

If you do not understand any part of this manual

and need assistance, see your dealer.

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.

BLOCKING METHOD

To minimize the potential hazards of working under-

neath the cutter, follow these procedures:

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 under-

neath 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 unexpect-

edly and cause severe injury or death. Follow Oper-

ator'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 cut-

ter 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.

5. Securely block rear tractor wheels, in front and

behind. Tighten tractor lower 3-point arm anti-sway

mechanism to prevent side-to-side movement.

CAUTION

20 Owner Service

MAN0707 (5/30/2008)

Figure 5. Jackstand Placement and Lubrication Points

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 fre-

quent 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 fol-

lowed.

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–

4 or –5 in gearboxes. Fill gearbox until oil runs out the

side plug on gearbox. Check gearbox daily for evi-

dence of leakage, and contact your dealer if leakage

occurs. Use sealant on vent plug threads during instal-

lation. 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.

1. Driveline U-joint 10 Hours

2. Telescoping shaft 10 Hours

3. Carrier bearing block 40 Hours

4. CV body assembly 10 hours

(10 pumps minimum)

5. Driveline shield 10 Hours

6. Splined yoke 10 Hours

7. Gearbox (above lower Daily

line on dipstick)

Owner Service 21

MAN0707 (5/30/2008)

Seasonal Lubrication

In addition to the daily recommended lubrication, a

more extensive application is recommended season-

ally.

1. Fill CV double yokes with 20 pumps of grease with

the joints in a straight line.

2. Articulate CV body to maximum angle several

times to ensure full coverage of joints.

3. Place joints in the straight position and a add 10

additional pumps of grease to both joints.

4. Wipe telescoping drive clean of all old grease and

contaminants.

5. Add a thin layer of new grease over telescoping

drive.

BLADES

Before working underneath, read manual

instructions, securely block up, and check stability.

Secure blocking prevents equipment from drop-

ping due to hydraulic leak down, hydraulic system

failure, or mechanical component failure.

Blade Removal (Figure 6)

Figure 6. Blade Assembly

1. Disconnect driveline from tractor PTO.

2. Raise cutter and block securely (see Figure 5).

12). Carefully drive blade pin (9) out of crossbar.

4. Rotate crossbar and repeat for opposite blade.

NOTICE

■If blade pin (9) is seized in crossbar and extreme

force will be needed to remove it, support crossbar

from below to prevent gearbox damage.

Blade Installation (Figure 6)

Your dealer can supply genuine replacement

blades. Substitute blades may not meet original

equipment specifications and may be dangerous.

NOTICE

■Crossbar rotation has clockwise rotation on left

gearbox and counterclockwise rotation on the right

and center gearboxes when looking down on cut-

ter. Be sure to install blade cutting edge to lead in

correct rotation.

NOTE: Always replace or sharpen both blades at the

same time.

1. Inspect blade pin (9) for nicks or gouges, and if you

find any replace the blade pin.

2. Insert blade pin through the blade. Blade should

swivel on blade pin; if it doesn’t, determine the

cause and correct.

3. Align crossbar (10) with blade access hole in cutter

frame. Apply a liberal coating of Never-Seez® or

equivalent to blade pin and crossbar hole. Make

sure blade offset is down away from cutter.

4. Insert blade pin (9) through blade. Push blade pin

through crossbar.

5. Install shims (11 & 12) over blade pin.

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 struc-

tural 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.

Figure 7. Blade Sharpening

SLIP CLUTCH ADJUSTMENT (FIGURE 8)

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

SHIELDING REPAIR

Full chain or rubber shielding must be installed

when operating in populated areas or other areas

where thrown objects could injure people or dam-

age 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 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).

Repairing Rubber Shielding

1. Inspect belting and rear bands each day of

operation.

2. Replace if bent, cracked, or broken.

3. Replace any missing hardware.

Repairing Optional Chain Shielding:

1. Inspect chain shielding each day of operation and

replace any broken or missing chains as required.

2. Replace any missing hardware.

SERVICING TIRES SAFELY

Used Aircraft Tires (Figure 9)

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 exten-

sion 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, dam-

aged rims, or missing lug bolts and nuts.

Never remove split rim assembly hardware (A) with the

tire inflated.

Figure 9. Split Rim Tire Servicing

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).

DEALER SERVICE

The information in this section is written for dealer ser-

vice 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.

Before working underneath, read manual

instructions, securely block up, and check stability.

Secure blocking prevents equipment from drop-

ping due to hydraulic leak down, hydraulic system

failure, or mechanical component failure.

Keep all persons away from operator control

area while performing adjustments, service, or

maintenance.

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.

NOTE: Repair to this gearbox is limited to replac-

ing bearings, seals, and gaskets. Replacing gears,

shafts, and a housing is not cost effective. Pur-

chasing 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.

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

NOTE: Proper seal installation is important. An improp-

erly installed seal will leak.

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.

SERVICING TIRES SAFELY

Used Aircraft Tires (Figure 23)

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 exten-

sion 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, dam-

aged rims, or missing lug bolts and nuts.

Never remove split rim assembly hardware (A) with the

tire inflated.

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 nor-

mal 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, accompany-

ing 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.

Before working underneath, carefully read Oper-

ator’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 hydrau-

lic leak down, hydraulic system failures, or

mechanical component failures.

Do not disconnect hydraulic lines until machine

is securely blocked or placed in lowest position

and system pressure is released by operating

valve levers.

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.

Fill Gearboxes

1. Remove top and side plugs from gearbox.

2. Fill gearbox with SAE 80W or 90W EP oil until it

Install Chain or Belt Shielding

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 any-

one 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 Installa-

tion; Figure 38 and Figure 39 for Belt Shielding Installa-

tion.)

Bolt Torque & Size Charts (Rev. 3/28/2007)

BOLT TORQUE CHART

Always tighten hardware to these values unless a different torque value or tightening procedure is listed for a specific

application.

Fasteners must always be replaced with the same grade as specified in the manual parts list.

Always use the proper tool for tightening hardware: SAE for SAE hardware and Metric for metric hardware.

Make sure fastener threads are clean and you start thread engagement properly.

All torque values are given to specifications used on hardware defined by SAE J1701 MAR 99 & J1701M JUL 96.
