SAFETY RULES
ATTENTION! BECOME ALERT! YOUR SAFETY IS INVOLVED!
Safety is a primary concern in the design and
manufacture of our products. Unfortunately, our
efforts to provide safe equipment can be wiped
out by an operator’s single careless act.
In addition to the design and configuration of
equipment, hazard control and accident prevention are dependent upon the awareness, concern, judgement, and proper training of
personnel involved in the operation, transport,
maintenance, and storage of equipment.
It has been said, “The best safety device is an
informed, careful operator.” We ask you to be
that kind of operator.

TRAINING
Safety instructions are important! Read all
attachment and power unit manuals; follow all
safety rules and safety decal information. (Replacement manuals and safety decals are available from
your dealer. To locate your nearest dealer, check
the Dealer Locator at www.WoodsEquipment.com,
or in the United States and Canada call 1-800-3196637.) Failure to follow instructions or safety rules
can result in serious injury or death.
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. CONTACT A PHY SI CIAN IMM ED IATELY IF FLUID
ENTERS SKIN OR EYES. DO NOT DELAY.
Never allow children or untrained persons to
operate equipment.

1260 Safety Rules (Rev. 2/1/2007)

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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
Inspect chain or rubber belt shielding before
each use. Replace if damaged.

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

Always comply with all state and local lighting
and marking requirements.
Never allow riders on power unit or attachment.

Always sit in power unit seat when operating
controls or starting engine. Securely fasten seat
belt, place transmission in neutral, engage brake,
and ensure all other controls are disengaged
before starting power unit engine.
Operate tractor PTO at 540 RPM (1000 RPM on Q
Series cutters). Do not exceed.
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 suddenly on slopes.
Use extreme care and reduce ground speed on

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 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.

Never direct discharge toward people, animals,
or property.

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

Do not operate or transport equipment while
under the influence of alcohol or drugs.

TRANSPORTATION

Operate only in daylight or good artificial light.
Keep hands, feet, hair, and clothing away from
equipment while engine is running. Stay clear of all

from 2 to 5 mph.

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
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
front wheel weights, ballast in tires or front tractor
weights. Weigh the tractor and equipment. Do not
estimate.

Figure 1. Tractor Stability

WARNING
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 (1000 RPM on Q
Series cutters). Do not exceed.
Do not allow bystanders in the area when operating, attaching, removing, assembling, or servicing equipment.
Stop power unit and equipment immediately
upon striking an obstruction. Turn off engine,
remove key, inspect, and repair any damage before
resuming operation.

CONNECT CUTTER TO TRACTOR
(PULL-TYPE)

NOTICE
■ For tractors with a 1-3/8" diameter PTO shaft,

the horizontal distance from end of tractor PTO
shaft to center of drawbar pin should be 14" for the
540 rpm cutter and 16" for the 1000 rpm cutter.
Tractors with a 1-3/4" 20-spline PTO shaft should
be set to 20". This will minimize joint knock and
damage to drive components.
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. Attach parking jack to cutter tongue. Raise tongue
to tractor drawbar height.

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.

14 Operation

3. Secure cutter to tractor drawbar with a highstrength drawbar pin 3/4” or larger. Keep pin in
place during operation.
4. Loop safety tow chain around tractor drawbar
support. Secure the hook to a chain link that allows
enough slack for proper hitch articulation.

MAN0571 (Rev. 6/15/2007)

5. Connect cutter driveline to tractor PTO shaft,
making sure the spring-activated lock pin slides
freely and is seated in tractor PTO splined groove.
6. Remove parking jack from the tongue and attach it
to the storage post on the front of the cutter.
7. Adjust H-frame bearing height so that the front
driveline is parallel to the ground. Secure with 1/2 x
5-3/4 clevis pin and 1/4 x 1-1/2 cotter pin.
8. Attach drive shaft shield to bearing housing using
two 3/8 x 1 cap screws and 3/8 lock washers.

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 Hframe 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.

The point at which the driveline can be connected
is the maximum turn that should be made.

CONNECT CUTTER TO TRACTOR
(MOUNTED & SEMI-MOUNTED)
Tractor Adjustments
Before attaching tractor to cutter, install sway blocks or
sway chains, or adjust stabilizer bars. Refer to the tractor operator's manual for instructions.
Install tractor front end weights as recommended by
the tractor manufacturer to provide 20% of weight on
front wheels.

WARNING
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
front wheel weights, ballast in tires or front tractor
weights. Weigh the tractor and equipment. Do not
estimate.

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 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.

Turning Limits for Optional CV Driveline
You must not exceed a turning angle of 80 degrees at
the head of the Constant Velocity driveline or damage
will occur.
To check for potential excessive turn angle:
1. Disconnect driveline from tractor, start engine and
turn as far right or left as possible.
2. Shut engine off, set parking brake, remove key,
and try to connect CV driveline to tractor. If it
cannot be connected, the angle is too severe.
3. Restart engine and straighten angle slightly.
Repeat step 2 until driveline can be connected.

3. Secure with lynch pins.

1. Separate driveline into two halves and connect
them to the tractor PTO and gearbox input shaft.

4. Attach tractor to cutter and secure hitch according
to hitch manufacturer’s instructions.

2. Place the two halves parallel to one another to
determine how much the driveline must be
shortened. See Figure 4 for example.

NOTE: For DSO1260, place spacer sleeve (44)
between tractor lower 3-point arm and plate on hitch
assembly to prevent 3-point arm motion during side
shift.

DRIVELINE ADJUSTMENT
(MOUNTED & SEMI-MOUNTED)
Attach the cutter to the tractor 3-point hitch (or quick
hitch if available). Do not attach driveline at this time.

NOTICE
■ If attaching cutter using a Quick Hitch the distance between the tractor PTO and the gearbox
input shaft will increase. Follow steps as you would
for the 3-point hitch to insure proper engagement.

Figure 4. Drive Halves Placed Parallel
3. Measure from the end of the upper shield to the
base of the bell on the lower shield (A). Add 19/16" to dimension (A). See Figure 5.

Raise and lower cutter and measure the maximum and
minimum distance between the tractor PTO shaft and
the gearbox input shaft. Separate the driveline into two
halves and lay them side-by-side with U-joints at opposite ends.
Set the two u-joints at the maximum distance measures (this is the cutters lowest point of operation) and
check the amount of overlap between the two drive
halves. There must be at least 4 inches of overlap. If
the driveline is too short (less than 4" overlap) contact
your Woods dealer for a longer drive.

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.
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.

5. Place the cutoff portion of the shield against the
end of the shaft and use it as a guide. Mark and cut
the shaft. See Figure 7.
6. Repeat step 5 for other half of drive.

■ Avoid ground contact with blades. Striking
ground with blades produces one of the most damaging shock loads a cutter can encounter. If this
occurs repeatedly, the cutter, driveline, and gearboxes will be damaged.

Pull-Type Units
To adjust cutter for normal mowing, select a cutting
height (example: 4 inches). Blades are approximately
1-3/4" above bottom of cutter. Dimension A plus 1-3/4"
equals the cutting height.

7. File and clean ends of both drive halves.

Using any of the optional cutting height mechanisms,
raise or lower the tailwheel and set position A to 2-1/4"
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
position B is approximately 1/2 inch more than position
A. Refer to Figure 8.

WARNING
On pull-type or semi-mounted units with
optional hydraulic cutting height adjustment, use a
single-acting cylinder with a maximum extended

MAN0571 (Rev. 6/15/2007)

Figure 8. Cutting Height Adjustment

Mounted & Semi-Mounted Units
To adjust cutter for normal mowing, select a cutting
height (example: 4 inches). Blades are approximately
1-3/4" above bottom of cutter. Dimension A plus 1-3/4"
equals the cutting height.
Adjust the tractor 3-point hitch to a distance of 2-1/4" at
position A to obtain a 4" cutting height. See Figure 8.
Using any of the optional height adjustment devices,
raise or lower the tailwheel to obtain 2-1/2 to 2-3/4
inches at position B.

Operation 17

Adjust top link to provide 2 inches of clearance
between the break link (2) and the rear of the lift links.
See Figure 8. This clearance will allow the cutter to
float over uneven terrain.

TRACTOR OPERATION
Use care when operating around tree limbs and other
low objects.

ATTITUDE ADJUSTMENT (PULL-TYPE)

Use care and reduce ground speed on rough terrain.
Always watch for hidden hazards.

Normal Mowing

Being knocked off or falling off tractor can result in serious injury or death.

For the most economical power use and best cutting
results, the cutter should be from 1/2" to 3/4" higher at
the rear than at the front.
For grass and weed mowing, adjust cutter to run level
or with the front slightly lower.

Shredding
For shredding, it is better to set rear of cutter slightly
lower than the front. How much lower depends on the
material to be shredded. Determine the best setting for
your situation by experimenting. Use a slow ground
speed for better shredding.

DRIVELINE ADJUSTMENT (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.

WHEEL SPACING
Wheels may be adjusted to any position for row crop
shredding.

BLADE SELECTION
There are two blade options: standard suction blades
and flat double-edge blades.
The standard suction blade is a general use, multi-purpose blade.
The double-edge blade requires less power because it
does not mulch or recut material. It is designed for use
in areas where blade wear is a problem. Sandy soils
are extremely hard on blades.
Blade rotation, viewed from top of cutter, is clockwise
for the right crossbar, and counter-clockwise for the left
crossbar.
When one cutting surface of a double-edge blade is
worn, the opposite one may be used by placing the
blade on a crossbar of the opposite rotation. Blades
from the right may be used on the left. Blades from the
left may be used on the right.
Blades must be moved in pairs. Never use one new
blade and one used blade on a crossbar.

18 Operation

Only use a tractor with a Roll Over Protective Structure
(ROPS) and seat belt. Securely fasten seat belt before
starting tractor.
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 proper PTO
speed (540 rpm or 1000 rpm).
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.

OPERATING TECHNIQUE
Power for operating the cutter is supplied by the tractor
PTO. Operate PTO at 540 rpm (1000 rpm on "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 rpm (1000 rpm on "Q" models)
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) 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 rpm (1000 rpm
on "Q" models). The lower ground speed will permit
grass to rebound partially.

imum transport speed. Doing so could result in:

When beginning operation of the cutter, make sure that
all persons are in a safe location. Slowly move into the
material with the tractor PTO set at 540 rpm (1000 rpm
on "Q" models).

Mowing Tips

WARNING
Look down and to the rear and make sure area
is clear before operating in reverse.
Do not operate or transport on steep slopes.

• 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.
1. Always transport with cutter in raised, locked
position.
2. Raise cutter with hydraulic cylinder.

Do not stop, start, or change directions suddenly on slopes.

3. Rotate transport lock over cylinder rod.

Use extreme care and reduce ground speed on
slopes and rough terrain.

5. To lower cutter for operation, extend hydraulic
cylinder. Rotate transport lock back away from
cylinder rod. Lower to desired cutting height.

Watch for hidden hazards on the terrain during
operation.

4. Lower cylinder against transport lock.

CAUTION
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 5 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.

Figure 9. Transport Lock Operation

STORAGE

WARNING

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

Keep children and bystanders away from storage area.

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.).

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 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

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 of working underneath the cutter, follow these procedures.

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.

LUBRICATION
Do not let excess grease collect on or around parts,
particularly when operating in sandy areas.
See Figure 10 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
1. 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.
2. 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 10) under the cutter before working
underneath unit.

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

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.

2. 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.

require replacement much like slip clutch disks. To
maximize rubber disk life, lower tractor engine speed to
an idle when engaging the PTO and avoid striking the
ground with cutter blades.

SERVICING TIRES SAFELY
Used Aircraft Tires (Figure 15)

WARNING

Periodically inspect the disks for signs of cracking. A
disk may run for some time after a crack starts but this
is the first sign that disk replacement is required in the
future.
To replace the disks, remove hardware items 6, 7, 8,
and 9. Remove sleeves (7) from old disk and install in
new disk. Reassemble and torque bolts to 85 lbs-ft.
See Figure 14. Take special care not to rotate gearbox
shaft and throw blades out of time. If rubber disks have
failed and blades are hitting, you will need to re-time
the blades per instructions on page 35.

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.

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, 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
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.

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.

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.
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.

only half-full with 80W or 90W API GL-4 or GL-5
gear lube. Use side plug to remove any excess oil.

1. Make sure vent plug hole is clear (installed by
dealer).
2. Remove plug on side of gearbox.
3. Fill gearbox until oil runs out the side plug on
gearbox. Use a high quality gear oil with a viscosity
index of 80W or 90W and an API service rating of
GL-4 or GL-5.
4. Install side plug and vent plug.

INSTALL CHAIN OR RUBBER SHIELDING

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).

Rubber Shielding (Figure 34)
1. Attach rubber belting and deflector brackets to the
front of the frame using carriage bolts (9), and lock
nuts (10).
2. Attach rear band to the rear of the frame using
carriage bolts (9), and lock nuts (10).

Optional Chain Shielding (Figure 35)
The optional chain shielding assemblies are ready for
installation when you receive them.
Install front and rear chain shielding as shown using
carriage bolt (10) and lock nut (11).
