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

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.

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.

(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!

location.)

Make sure shields and guards are properly

installed and in good condition. Replace if dam-

aged.

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

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

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).

Do not allow bystanders in the area when oper-

ating, attaching, removing, assembling, or servic-

ing equipment.

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

equipment while engine is running. Stay clear of all

moving parts.

Always comply with all state and local lighting

and marking requirements.

Never allow riders on power unit or attachment.

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 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 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 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.

On mounted units with optional hydraulic cut-

ting height adjustment, use a double-acting cylin-

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

(718 mm) from attaching point center to center.

TRANSPORTATION

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-

Operators should be familiar with the cutter, the tractor,

and all safety practices before starting operation. Read

the safety rules and safety decals on pages 7 to 13.

This heavy-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 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 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 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.

Safety tow chain must be hooked-up to both the

implement and tractor during operation or trans-

port. A loose, dragging chain could be struck by

the blades causing serious injury.

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

front wheel weights, ballast in tires or front tractor

weights. Weigh the tractor and equipment. Do not

estimate.

Figure 1. Tractor Stability

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.

3. Secure cutter to tractor drawbar with a high-

strength 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.

CAUTION

Operation 15

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 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.

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.

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 trac-

tor operator's manual for instructions.

Install tractor front end weights as recommended by

the tractor manufacturer to provide 20% of weight on

front wheels.

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.

to hitch manufacturer’s instructions.

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 dis-

tance 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.

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 oppo-

site ends.

Set the two u-joints at the maximum distance mea-

sures (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.

Figure 3. 4 Inch Minimum Overlap

Set the two U-joints to the minimum distance measured

(this is the cutters highest point) and check to see if the

driveline bottoms out. If driveline is too long follow the

instructions to shorting the drive.

Shorten Driveline

1. Separate driveline into two halves and connect

them to the tractor PTO and gearbox input shaft.

2. Place the two halves parallel to one another to

determine how much the driveline must be

shortened. See Figure 4 for example.

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 1-

9/16" to dimension (A). See Figure 5.

7. File and clean ends of both drive halves.

Figure 7. Cut Shaft to Length

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

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.

Cutting height range is from 2" to 13". 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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

1. Cutter

2. Break link

3. Tractor top link

18 Operation

MAN0571 (Rev. 6/15/2007)

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.

ATTITUDE ADJUSTMENT (PULL-TYPE)

Normal Mowing

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 drive-

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

tion.

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-pur-

pose 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.

TRACTOR OPERATION

Use care when operating around tree limbs and other

low objects.

Use care and reduce ground speed on rough terrain.

Always watch for hidden hazards.

Being knocked off or falling off tractor can result in seri-

ous injury or death.

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" mod-

els). 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.

Operation 19

MAN0571 (Rev. 6/15/2007)

Cutter Operation

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

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 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.

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.).

TRANSPORTING

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.

1. Always transport with cutter in raised, locked

position.

2. Raise cutter with hydraulic cylinder.

3. Rotate transport lock over cylinder rod.

4. Lower cylinder against transport lock.

5. To lower cutter for operation, extend hydraulic

cylinder. Rotate transport lock back away from

cylinder rod. Lower to desired cutting height.

Figure 9. Transport Lock Operation

STORAGE

Keep children and bystanders away from stor-

age area.

ON MOUNTED AND SEMI-MOUNTED CUTTERS:

Disconnect cutter driveshaft and secure up off

ground. Raise cutter with 3-point hitch. Place

blocks under cutter side skids. Lower cutter onto

blocks. Disconnect hydraulic lines to optional cyl-

inder. Disconnect cutter from tractor 3-point hitch

and carefully drive tractor away from cutter.

ON PULL-TYPE CUTTERS:

Raise cutter and block securely. Block wheels

and raise tongue with jack. Disconnect hydraulic

lines to optional cylinder. Disconnect driveline and

secure up off the ground.

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 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

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 of 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 10) under the cutter before working

underneath unit.

Do not position jackstands under wheels, axles, or

wheel supports. Components can rotate and cause

cutter to fall.

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.

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 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

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. Lubricate the driveline slip joint every ten 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.

3. Rotate crossbar (8) and repeat for opposite blade.

Installing Blades

Your dealer can supply genuine replacement

blades. Substitute blades may not meet original

equipment specifications and may be dangerous.

NOTICE

■ Crossbar rotation has counterclockwise rota-

tion on left gearbox and clockwise rotation on the

right gearbox when looking down on cutter. Be

sure to install blade cutting edge to lead in correct

rotation.

Figure 11. Blade Assembly

NOTE: Always replace or sharpen both blades at the

same time.

1. Inspect blade pin (12) for nicks or gouges, and if

you find any, replace the blade pin.

2. Insert blade pin through the blade (9). Blade

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

the cause and correct.

3. Align crossbar (8) 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 away from cutter. Push blade

pin through crossbar. Pin should rotate freely prior

to installing blade clip (16).

4. Install shims (13 & 14) over blade pin.

NOTE: Only use enough shims to allow keyhole

plate (15) to slide into blade pin groove.

5. Install blade clip (16) over keyhole plate and into

blade pin groove.

6. Secure into position with cap screw (32). Torque

cap screw to 85 lbs ft.

7. Repeat steps for opposite side.

pin without having to exert excessive force. Keep

any spacers not used in the installation as replace-

ments or for future installation.

Sharpening Blades

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.

Figure 13. Slip Clutch Assembly

SLIP CLUTCH ADJUSTMENT

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 12 mm cap screws (7) to remove all

tension from compression spring (8).

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 flange yoke (1), clutch hub (3), drive plate (5),

and thrust plate faces (6).

6. Reassemble clutch.

7. Compress each of the six compression springs (8)

by tightening the six cap screws (7) and lock nuts

(10). The compression springs should be

compressed to a height of 1-7/16", not including

washer (9). The minimum spring height is 1.36".

See Figure 13.

8. If a clutch continues to slip when the springs are

compressed to 1.36", check friction discs (2) for

excessive wear. Discs are 1/8" when new. Replace

discs after 1/16" wear. Minimum disc thickness is

1/16".

SHIELDING REPAIR

Full chain or rubber shielding is required for all

non-agricultural mowing. Full shielding is also rec-

ommended for all agricultural use to further reduce

the risk of thrown objects.

Repairing Rubber Shielding

FLEXIBLE COUPLER

RUBBER DISK REPLACEMENT

The flexible coupler side drive is designed to flex when

striking heavy objects or during start-up to protect gear-

boxes. The rubber disks will wear out over time and

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.

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.

SERVICING TIRES SAFELY

Used Aircraft Tires (Figure 15)

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.

NOTES

Dealer Service 29

MAN0571 (Rev. 6/15/2007)

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.

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.

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

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, avoiding

distortion to the metal seal cage.

Figure 13. Seal Installation

Vertical Shaft Seal Repair (Spindle

Gearbox)

Refer to Figure 14.

1. Disconnect and remove the rear driveline from the

gearbox.

2. Remove vent plug (24) and siphon gear lube from

housing through this opening.

3. Remove crossbar (see Crossbar, page 34).

4. Remove protective seal (8) and vertical shaft seal

(18). Replace seal (18) with new seal (see Seal

Replacement page 29).

Vertical seal should be recessed in housing. Horizontal

seal (19) should be pressed flush with outside of

housing.

ASSEMBLY INSTRUCTIONS

DEALER SET-UP INSTRUCTIONS

These instructions are for the assembly of the DS1260

and DS1440 mounted, semi-mounted and pull-type

cutters as well as the DSO1260 semi-mounted cutter.

Many of the procedures apply to all units. When an

instruction applies to a specific unit, the section

heading will indicate which unit. Assembly of options

may not apply to all units.

Assembly of the cutter is the responsibility of the

Woods dealer. It should be delivered to the owner

completely assembled, lubricated, and adjusted for

normal cutting conditions.

The cutter is shipped partially assembled. Assembly

will be easier if aligned and loosely assembled before

tightening hardware. Recommended torque values for

hardware are located in the Bolt Torque Chart, page

82.

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 check lists on page 52 when you have com-

pleted the assembly.

DEALER CHECK LISTS

PRE-DELIVERY CHECK LIST

(DEALER’S RESPONSIBILITY)

Inspect cutter thoroughly after assembly to make sure

it is set up properly before delivering it to the customer.

The following check list is a reminder of points to

inspect. Check off each item as it is found satisfactory,

corrections are made, or services are performed.

IMPORTANT

■ Gearbox was not filled at the factory. It must be

serviced before operating cutter. (See LUBRICA-

TION, page 21). Failure to service will result in dam-

age to gearbox.

___ Check that gearbox is properly serviced and

seals are not leaking.

___ Check and grease all lubrication points as identi-

fied in Owner Service, LUBRICATION, page 21.

___ Check that blades have been properly installed

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.
