Safety Video Order Form (Rev. 2/6/2006)

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(Rev. 10/31/2008)
Single Spindle_MD (Rev. 5/11/2007)

TAC T A PHY S ICIAN IMM ED IATELY 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 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 u t t i n g i n t o s e r v i c e o r a l l ow i n g a n y o n e t o
approach the equipment.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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 systems in “locked up” position at all times.

CUTTING HEIGHT ADJUSTMENT
(MOUNTED CUTTER)

WARNING
Before working underneath, disconnect driveline, raise cutter, lock in transport position, and
block cutter securely. Hydraulic system leak down
and failure of mechanical or hydraulic system can
cause equipment to drop.
Keep all persons away from operator control
area while performing adjustments, service, or

mately 11.5" below the deck. To check cutting
height, do the following:
a) Place a straight edge along top edge of deck.
b) Select a cutting height; as an example, for an
approximate cutting height of 3", set the center of
the deck 14.5" above the ground:
3" Desired cutting height
+ 11.5" Distance blade cutting edge is below deck
= 14.5"
c) Adjust the front-to-rear attitude from 1/2" to 3/4"
higher than the front.

CHECK CHAIN ADJUSTMENT (MOUNTED)
1. Refer to Install Check Chain (Optional), page 42 for
check chain installation.
2. After making cutting height adjustment, adjust both
chains (3) in check chain bracket (2) so you have
the same number of links on each side. This will
keep your cutting level.

■

Avoid low cutting heights. Striking the ground
with blades produces one of the most damaging
shock loads a cutter can encounter. Allowing
blades to contact ground repeatedly will cause
damage to cutter and drive.
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.
1. Level cutter from side to side. Check by measuring
from cutter frame to the ground at each deck rail.
2. Adjust, using tractor 3-point arm leveling device.
NOTE: Keep the front of cutter level with or slightly
lower than rear for best mowing.
3. Control cutting height with tractor 3-point arms,
rear tailwheel adjustment, or optional check chains.

NOTICE
■

The horizontal distance between the end of the
tractor PTO shaft and the drawbar hitch point
should be 14" for 540 rpm cutter. This distance
must not vary more than plus or minus (1") or the
drive may be damaged when turning.
1. Adjust tractor drawbar to obtain the desired
drawbar-to-hitch-point distance.
NOTE: On some tractors, a drawbar kit must be
used to obtain the required dimension. Check with
your tractor dealer for assistance.
2. Raise cutter tongue to tractor drawbar height with
jack provided.
3. Secure cutter to tractor drawbar with a highstrength drawbar pin 3/4" or larger. Retain pin in
place during operation.
4. Connect cutter drive line to tractor PTO shaft,
making sure the spring-activated lock pin slides

x 5-21/32 clevis pin and 3/16 x 1-1/2 cotter pin.
7. Attach drive shaft shield to bearing housing using
two 3/8 x 1 cap screws and 3/8 lock washers.
8. Attach safety tow chain to drawbar support. Leave
enough slack for turning.

MAN0654 (Rev. 10/19/2007)

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 fullturning 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.

CUTTING HEIGHT ADJUSTMENT
BB840XP (PULL-TYPE)

WARNING
On pull-type 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.
Cutting height range is from 2" to 13". A hydraulic cylinder or ratchet jack is available for cutting height adjustment.
To adjust cutter for normal mowing, select a cutting
height (example: 3 inches). Blades are approximately
11.5" below the deck.
Using any of the optional cutting height mechanisms,
raise or lower the tailwheel and set the center of the
deck is 14.5’ above the ground to achieve a 4" cutting
height.
Loosen the jam nut on the attitude rod that runs from
the tongue to the tailwheel. Adjust rod in or out until
rear of deck is approximately 1/2 inch more than front
of deck.

Operation 17

DRIVELINE ADJUSTMENT
BB840XP (PULL-TYPE)
With the cutting height established, adjust the driveline
carrier bearings in the H-frames so that the front driveline is parallel to the ground with cutter in cutting position.

TRANSPORTING BB840XP (PULL-TYPE)

Gearbox protection is provided by a slip clutch with
replacement fiber disc. The slip clutch is designed
to slip when excessive torsional loads occur.
3. 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.
4. Always operate tractor PTO at 540 rpm to maintain
proper blade speed and to produce a clean cut.
5. 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 rpm.
The lower ground speed will permit grass to
rebound partially.

DP1

SHREDDING MATERIAL
Figure 10. Transport Lock Operation
1. Always transport with cutter in raised, locked
position.

For shredding, set the cutter lower at rear. Determine
how much lower to set the rear by experimenting in different situations.

2. Raise cutter with hydraulic cylinder to max height.

STORAGE
3. Rotate transport lock into position over cylinder
rod. See Figure 10.

WARNING

4. Lower cylinder against transport lock.
5. To lower cutter for operation, extend hydraulic
cylinder. Rotate transport lock back away from

6. Lower cutter to desired cutting height.

OPERATING TECHNIQUE
1. Power for operating the cutter is supplied by the
tractor PTO. Operate PTO at 540 rpm. Know how
to stop the tractor and cutter quickly in an
emergency.
2. Engage PTO at a low engine rpm to minimize
stress on the drive system and gearbox. With PTO
engaged, raise PTO speed to 540 rpm and
maintain throughout cutting operation.

Operation 19

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.

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

CAUTION
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 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

WARNING
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.
To minimize the potential hazards or working underneath the cutter, follow these procedures:

4. 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.
5. With full cutter weight lowered onto jackstands, test
blocking stability before working underneath.
6. If cutter is attached to tractor when blocking, set
the brakes, remove key, and block cutter before
working underneath.
7. Securely block rear tractor wheels, in front and
behind. Tighten tractor lower 3-point arm anti-sway
mechanism to prevent side-to-side movement.

LUBRICATION INFORMATION
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.
Do not let excess grease collect on or around parts,
particularly when operating in sandy areas.
See Figure 11 for lubrication points and frequency or
lubrication based on normal operating conditions.
Severe or unusual conditions may require more frequent lubrication.

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 evidence of leakage, and contact your dealer if leakage
occurs.

Driveline Lubrication

1. Jackstands with a load rating of 1000 lbs or more
are the only approved blocking device for this
cutter. Install a minimum of four jackstands (shown
by Xs in Figure 11) under the cutter before working
underneath unit.

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. Do not position jackstands under wheels, axles, or
wheel supports. Components can rotate and cause
cutter to fall.

2. Lower cutter to ground, disconnect driveline from
tractor PTO shaft, and slide halves apart but do not
disconnect from each other.

3. Consider the overall stability of the blocked unit.
Just placing jackstands underneath will not ensure
your safety.

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.

SHIELDING REPAIR

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.
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.

Rear Band
Inspect rear band each day of operation, replace if
bent, cracked, or broken.

Optional Rubber Shielding
Inspect rubber shielding each day of operation and
replace if cracked or broken.

Optional Chain Shielding
Inspect chain shielding each day of operation and
replace any broken or missing chains as required.

TROUBLESHOOTING
MOWING CONDITIONS
PROBLEM

POSSIBLE CAUSE

SOLUTION

Grass cut lower in center of
swath than at edge

Height of cutter lower at rear or
front

Adjust cutter height and attitude so
that cutter rear and front are within
1/2" of same height. See Cutting
Height Adjustment (Mounted Cutter), page 16.

Streaking conditions in swath

Conditions too wet for mowing

Allow grass to dry before mowing.

Blades unable to cut that part of
grass pressed by path of tractor
tires

Slow ground speed of tractor but
keep engine running at full PTO
rpm. Cutting lower will help.

Dull blades

Sharpen or replace blades.

Material too high and too much
material

Reduce ground speed but maintain 540 rpm at tractor PTO or
make two passes over material.
Raise cutter for the first pass and
lower to desired height for the second and cut at 90° to first pass.
Raise rear of cutter high enough to
permit material to discharge but
not so high to cause conditions
listed above.

Grass wet

Allow grass to dry before mowing.
Slow ground speed of tractor but
keep engine running at full PTO
rpm. Cutting lower will help.

Rear of cutter too low, trapping
material under cutter

Adjust cutter height and attitude.

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

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 until it
runs out the side level plug.
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.

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
Refer to Figure 17.
NOTE: Proper seal installation is important. An improperly 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,
distortion to the metal seal cage.

2. 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.
