Safety 7

Single Spindle_MD (Rev. 5/11/2007)

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 instruc-

tions.

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.

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 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 systems in “locked up” position at all times.

(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.

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.)

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, front tractor wheels could raise up result-

ing in loss of steering. The weight may be attained

with 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.

OPERATION

Do not allow bystanders in the area when oper-

ating, attaching, removing, assembling, or servic-

ing equipment.

Full chain, rubber, or steel band shielding must

be installed when operating in populated areas or

other areas where thrown objects could injure peo-

ple or damage property.

• If this machine is not equipped with full chain,

rubber, or steel band 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.

Do not operate or transport equipment while

under the influence of alcohol or drugs.

Operate only in daylight or good artificial light.

Keep hands, feet, hair, and clothing away from

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.

Leak down or failure of mechanical or hydraulic

system can cause equipment to drop.

On pull-type units with optional hydraulic cut-

ting height adjustment, use a single-acting cylinder

with a maximum extended length of 28-1/4" (718

mm) from attaching point center to center.

Before performing any service or maintenance,

disconnect driveline from tractor PTO.

TRANSPORTATION

Always comply with all state and local lighting

and marking requirements.

Do not operate PTO during transport.

12. Be sure to complete the Pre-Operation check list

on 19 before operating this Cutter.

This medium-duty cutter is designed for grass and

weed mowing and shredding.

Recommended mowing speed for most conditions is

from 2 to 5 mph.

Full chain, rubber, or steel band shielding must

be installed when operating in populated areas or

other areas where thrown objects could injure peo-

ple or damage property.

• If this machine is not equipped with full chain,

rubber, or steel band 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 riders on power unit or attachment.

Make sure spring-activated locking pin or collar

slides freely and is seated firmly in tractor PTO

spline groove.

Operate tractor PTO at 540 RPM. Do not exceed.

Do not allow bystanders in the area when oper-

ating, attaching, removing, assembling, or servic-

ing equipment.

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.

TRACTOR STABILITY

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.

DRIVELINE ADJUSTMENT (MOUNTED)

Attach the cutter to the tractor 3-point hitch (or quick

hitch if available). Do not attach driveline. Raise and

lower cutter to determine maximum and minimum dis-

tance between the tractor PTO shaft and the gearbox

input shaft. If the distance is too large, the driveline will

be too short for proper engagement. If distance is too

small, the driveline may bottom out in operation and

damage the cutter or tractor.

The driveline length must be sufficient to provide at

least 1/3 driveline length of engagement during opera-

tion. There must be at least 4 inches of engagement at

the cutter’s lowest possible point of operation. The driv-

eline must not bottom out when raised to the maximum

height possible.

If driveline is too short, please call your Woods dealer

DRIVELINE INTERFERENCE CHECK

1. Check for clearance between driveline and cutter

deck.

2. Slowly lift cutter and observe driveline. If clearance

between driveline and cutter deck is less than 1

inch, shorten top link or limit upper travel of lower

hitch arms. Refer to tractor operator's manual for

instructions.

CUTTING HEIGHT ADJUSTMENT

(MOUNTED CUTTER)

Before working underneath, disconnect drive-

line, 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

maintenance.

■ 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.

4. To raise rear of cutter, move tailwheel down.

5. To raise front of cutter, raise tractor 3-point arms or

shorten optional check chains.

The cutting height is the distance between the

blade and the ground. The blades are approxi-

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:

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.

CONNECTING CUTTER TO TRACTOR

BB840XP (PULL-TYPE)

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 high-

strength 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

freely and is seated in tractor PTO splined groove.

5. Move parking jack the storage position on the

tongue.

6. Adjust H-frame bearing height to ensure the front

drive line is parallel to the ground. Secure with 5/8

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.

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.

3. Attach the hydraulic hose from the cutter to the

tractor.

4. Route the hose through the hose holder on H-

frame 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.

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.

CUTTING HEIGHT ADJUSTMENT

BB840XP (PULL-TYPE)

On pull-type units with optional hydraulic cut-

ting 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 cylin-

der or ratchet jack is available for cutting height adjust-

ment.

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.

18 Operation

MAN0654 (Rev. 10/19/2007)

DRIVELINE ADJUSTMENT

BB840XP (PULL-TYPE)

With the cutting height established, adjust the driveline

carrier bearings in the H-frames so that the front drive-

line is parallel to the ground with cutter in cutting posi-

tion.

TRANSPORTING BB840XP (PULL-TYPE)

Figure 10. Transport Lock Operation

1. Always transport with cutter in raised, locked

position.

2. Raise cutter with hydraulic cylinder to max height.

3. Rotate transport lock into position over cylinder

rod. See Figure 10.

4. Lower cylinder against transport lock.

5. To lower cutter for operation, extend hydraulic

cylinder. Rotate transport lock back away from

cylinder rod.

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.

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.

SHREDDING MATERIAL

For shredding, set the cutter lower at rear. Determine

how much lower to set the rear by experimenting in dif-

ferent situations.

STORAGE

Mounted Cutters

Disconnect cutter driveshaft and secure up off

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.

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

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.

To minimize the potential hazards or working under-

neath the cutter, follow these procedures:

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.

2. Do not position jackstands under wheels, axles, or

wheel supports. Components can rotate and cause

cutter to fall.

3. Consider the overall stability of the blocked unit.

Just placing jackstands underneath will not ensure

your safety.

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 fol-

lowed.

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 fre-

quent 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 evi-

dence of leakage, and contact your dealer if leakage

occurs.

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.

SHIELDING REPAIR

Full chain, rubber, or steel band shielding must

be installed when operating in populated areas or

other areas where thrown objects could injure peo-

ple or damage property.

• If this machine is not equipped with full chain,

rubber, or steel band 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

SERVICING TIRES SAFELY

Used Aircraft Tires (Figure 16)

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.

NOTES

28 Dealer Service

MAN0654 (Rev. 10/19/2007)

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 until it

runs out the side level plug.

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.

Bearing failure is indicated by excessive noise and

side-to-side or end-play in gear shafts.

Seal Replacement

Recommended sealant for gearbox repair is Permatex®

Aviation 3D Form-A-Gasket or equivalent.

Leakage can occur at the vertical or horizontal gaskets

and shaft seals.

Leakage at the horizontal gasket or seal can be

repaired without removing the gearbox from the cutter.

Seal Installation

Refer to Figure 17.

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.

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.
