IMPORTANT!

BALANCE STATEMENT

Both of the Woods Center Drive Shredder flail tubes

are balanced as rotor assemblies to meet or exceed

factory standards before installation. After installation,

the shredders are statistically inspected to check bal-

ance. These factory efforts allow the shredder to oper-

ate smoothly and be free of excessive vibration when

delivered to the customer.

■The operator must be familiar with all safety

rules and safety decals before installing and run-

ning the shredder. All personnel must be familiar

with and stay out of the hazard area whenever the

shredder is running. (See Figure 14, page 21).

Smooth, acceptable vibration levels can be easily esti-

mated in the field. After machine shutdown and coast

down has been completed, place a quarter on a clean

top panel of the shredder. At full rotor rpm (while main-

taining all safety rules regarding safe distances from

rotating equipment) observe the quarter. If the quarter

stays still and does not bounce around, the operator

can estimate that the shredder is free from excessive

vibration. If the quarter jumps around during full rotor

rpm, the shredder may be operating with excessive

vibration where troubleshooting and maintenance are

required (refer to the Troubleshooting section).

The Woods Center Drive Flail Shredder has been

designed for maximum durability when shredding any

type of crop. While operating in the field, many factors

can affect and degrade shredder rotor balance and

cause increased vibration levels.

●Operating too low to the ground or in frequent con-

tact with the ground can cause the flail knives to

wear unevenly. This can reduce their chopping

effect and also increase vibration levels.

●Hitting large rocks or other foreign objects can

damage knives and other rotor parts, causing

excessive vibration.

●Over time, certain types of soil and crops can also

lead to uneven knife wear and increased vibration

levels.

●Once field operation has been started, it is the

operator’s responsibility to check and maintain

shredder rotor balance.

●If knife replacement is required due to wear or

damage, refer to REPLACING FLAILS, page 30.

●Throughout the life of the flail shredder, removing

the flail tubes for replacement or re-balance may

be necessary.

●If flail tube replacement is required due to wear or

damage, refer to SERVICING ROTORS (FLAIL

TUBES), page 31.

●Any re-balance should be done with all knives

installed.

●Factory balanced repair rotors are available

through your local Woods dealer.

●Consult with your local balance shop experts or

contact Woods Technical Service for re-balance or

replacement options.

Continued operation with excessive vibration can

cause damage to and shorten component life, void

product warranty, and affect personal safety. Checking

and maintaining shredder rotor balance is the owner/

operator’s responsibility.

GENERAL INFORMATION

The purpose of this manual is to assist you in operating

and maintaining your flail shredder. Read it carefully. It

furnishes information and instructions that will help you

achieve years of dependable performance. These

instructions have been compiled from extensive field

experience and engineering data. Some information

may be general in nature due to unknown and varying

operating conditions. However, through experience

and these instructions, you should be able to develop

procedures suitable to your particular situation.

The illustrations and data used in this manual were cur-

rent at the time of printing but, due to possible inline

production changes, your machine may vary slightly in

detail. We reserve the right to redesign and change the

machines as may be necessary without notification.

Throughout this manual, references are made to right

and left directions. These are determined by standing

behind the equipment facing the direction of forward

travel.

Shredder_S30CD (07/12/2011)

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

Use a suitable lifting device of sufficient capac-

ity. Use adequate personnel to handle heavy com-

ponents.

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.

Before starting power unit, check all equipment

driveline guards for damage. Replace any damaged

guards. Make sure all guards rotate freely on all

drivelines. If guards do not rotate freely on drive-

lines, repair and replace bearings before putting

equipment into service.

Power unit must be equipped with ROPS or

ROPS cab and seat belt. Keep seat belt securely

fastened. Falling off power unit can result in death

from being run over or crushed. Keep foldable

ROPS system in “locked up” position at all times.

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.

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, 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.

PRINCIPAL COMPONENTS

The Woods Flail Shredder consists of a large rotating

tube with swinging steel flails attached. The flails pick

up or strike crop residue or trash and shred it. Rota-

tional power to the drum is provided by the tractor PTO

through a gearbox in the center of the machine.

For removing the center strip of crop residue, an

optional hydraulically driven blade can be installed

under the cover in the center of the machine.

The flail shredder is designed to be used as a semi-

mounted, or 3-point mounted machine.

BREAK-IN OF THE FLAIL SHREDDER

The following should be observed when operating the

unit for the first time:

After operating for 1/2 hour

1. Check all nuts, bolts, and other fasteners. Tighten

to specifications given in the Bolt Torque Chart,

page 59.

2. Tighten wheel bolts to specifications given in the

Bolt Torque Chart, page 59.

3. Check that the flails are in good condition and

swing freely.

4. Check oil level in the gearbox. Add oil if needed.

5. Check that the PTO driveline shield turns freely.

6. Lubricate all grease points.

After operating for 5 to 10 hours

1. Repeat Steps 1 through 5 above.

2. Follow regular service schedule as outlined in

Lubrication Schedule, page 24.

PRE-OPERATION CHECK LIST

(OWNER'S RESPONSIBILITY)

NOTICE

■This Pre-Operation Check List is provided for

the operator. It is important to follow for both per-

sonal safety and maintenance of the flail shredder.

___ Check all lubrication points and grease as

instructed in Lubrication Service Record, page

27.

___ Use only a tractor of adequate power and weight

to pull the unit. (See chart on page 16.)

___ Check that the unit is properly attached to the

tractor. On pull-type unit, be sure there is a

mechanical retainer through the drawbar pin and

the safety chain is installed. On 3-point hitch

units, be sure retainers are used on the mounting

pins.

___ Check oil level in gearbox. Add oil as required.

___ Check that the PTO driveline turns freely and that

the driveline can telescope easily.

___ Check tire pressure. Inflate to specified level.

___ Check flails. Inspect for damage or breakage.

Make sure they swing freely on their mount.

Repair or replace as required.

___ Check condition of cutter blade (if so equipped).

___ Inspect all hydraulic lines, hoses, couplers, and

fittings. Tighten, repair, or replace any leaking or

damaged components.

___ Install and secure all guards, doors, and covers.

___ Check PTO clutch operation (see . Weasler Auto-

matic Clutch (30K), page 33).

CHOOSING THE CORRECT TRACTOR

To ensure safe and reliable operation of the flail shred-

der, use a tractor with the correct specifications. Use

the following guidelines to select the correct tractor.

1. Horsepower

Use Table 1 on page 16 for selecting the tractor horse-

power class appropriate for your unit’s width.

Increase the horsepower level by 25 percent when

operating in hilly, soft, or wet conditions.

2. Tractor Weight

By following recommendations for tractor horsepower,

the tractor will have sufficient weight to provide stability

for unit during field operation or when transporting.

When using a 3-point mounted shredder, we recom-

mend that each tractor be equipped with a full comple-

ment of suitcase weights on the tractor front (see

Figure 2 for example). This will provide the required

front weight for turning and extra traction if equipped

with front wheel assist.

16 Operation

MAN0943 (07/12/2011)

Figure 2. Tractor Front Weight

3. 3-Point Hitch

The 3-point hitch models require that the tractor be

equipped with a Category II or Category III 3-point

hitch. If the hitch can be converted from one to the

other, use a Category III to provide a wider stance and

more stability.

Use the upper top link hole for Category III and the

lower hole for Category II as shown in Figure 3.

For easier attachment, use a quick hitch. If not using a

quick hitch, use optional hitch extension.

4. Hydraulic Requirements when Using Center

Cutter Options

The tractor hydraulic system must be capable of 8 gpm

(30 lpm) at 1500 psi (10,335 kPa). The system cannot

exceed 28 gpm or 3000 psi. Either closed-centered or

open-centered systems can be used.

5. Load Sensing Hydraulics (3-Point Models Only)

Many newer tractors are equipped with “load sensing”

hydraulics. The operator is responsible for setting the

tractor hydraulic system to provide “float” on the 3-point

hitch. Refer to the tractor manual for specific instruc-

tions.

The “float” feature will allow the unit to follow the

ground contours during operation. This applies to 3-

point mounted machines only.

NOTICE

■Do not use PTO shaft adapters. They will

change the drawbar dimension and can cause driv-

eline failures.

Figure 3. 3-Point Hitch Attachment

NOTICE

PTO DRIVELINE LENGTH

■ The unit is equipped with a PTO driveline long

enough to fit any tractor and 3-point linkage sys-

tem.

■ The operator is responsible for measuring the

dimensions of the driveline through its working

range. These dimensions will indicate if the drive-

line requires shorting to operate on the particular

tractor/unit attachment system. The operator must

check dimensions before using the unit for the first

time and each time a different tractor is used with

the unit.

■ Use the following procedure when determining

driveline dimension:

Keep bystanders away from equipment.

1. Clear the area of all bystanders.

2. Attach the 3-point hitch to the unit but not the PTO

driveline.

3. Raise the unit until the tractor PTO and gearbox

shafts are the same height.

4. Measure the dimension between the shaft grooves

on the tractor and implement ends. If this

dimension is less than 34.81 inches, the shaft will

require shortening.

5. Move the unit to its highest and lowest working

position and measure this dimension again. [The

unit’s shaft can telescope (see Figure 5) before it

has been shortened.]

6. If required, shorten the shaft to prevent bottoming

out during use. NOTE: An extra inch of

compression space in the shaft can eliminate

bottoming out during use. Measure to make sure.

7. Use an abrasive wheel power saw to cut the male

end of the shaft. Cut the same amount from both

the splined shaft and the safety shield. See Figure

4. Use a file to remove any burrs from the cut end.

NOTICE

■Cut only the male end. Never cut the female end.

8. Never cut more than 9 inches from the male end.

Cutting 1 inch from the male end shortens both the

minimum and maximum lengths by 1 inch.

Figure 4. Cutting the Driveline Shaft

ATTACHING SHREDDER TO TRACTOR

1. Place unit on a level, dry area free of debris and

other foreign object.

Keep bystanders away from equipment.

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.

2. Clear the area of bystanders, especially children.

3. Provide enough clearance to back the tractor

safely into the unit.

■ Do not allow anyone to stand between tractor

and unit when backing up to the unit.

With Quick Hitch Attachment:

4. Set the height of the 3-point hitch so that quick

hitch claws are lower than the mounting pins.

5. Make sure 3-point hitch is set in the non-sway

position. See tractor manual for details.

6. Align the claws under the lower and upper mast

mounting pins while backing up.

NOTE: For a Category II hitch, use the bottom

upper mast hole. For a Category III hitch, use the

top upper mast hole.

7. When the claws are under the pins, slowly raise

the 3-point hitch. Make sure each mounting pin

seats in its respective claw.

8. Release the claw retainer locks to secure the

mounting pins in the claws.

9. Check the top link frame. It should be free to slide

in its mounting slots. This movement allows the

unit to follow the ground contour when cresting a

hill or going through a depression.

Figure 5. Driveline Dimension

CAUTION

18 Operation

MAN0943 (07/12/2011)

Without Quick Hitch Attachment:

10. Back tractor lower 3-point arms between lower

mast plates and align with lower 3-point hole.

11. Place 1-3/4 OD spacer through 3-point arm pivot

(both sides).

12. Push tractor’s 3-point arm to the inside and slide a

1-7/16 OD spacer between to take up the empty

space. Secure with lower 3-point hitch pin

assembly, 1-3/4 OD spacer, and 7/16 x 2 klik pin.

13. Repeat steps 5 and 6 for other side.

14. Lower the tractor’s top link arm and secure in top

hole of upper mast assembly using spacer, hex

bolt, and lock nut. Attach PTO Driveline

1. Make sure the driveline telescopes easily and

shields rotate freely.

2. Attach the driveline to the tractor by retracting the

locking collar. Slide the yoke over the shaft and

push on the yoke until the lock collar clicks into

position. Make sure the yoke is locked into

position.

Attach Hydraulics and Lift Cylinder Hose

(Center Cutter Option)

1. Use a clean cloth to clean hose ends and area

around the couplers on the tractor.

2. Insert the hose male ends into the tractor couplers.

Make sure hoses lock in place.

3. Route hoses along or over the hitch and secure in

position with clips, tape, or plastic ties. Provide

enough slack for turning and lifting.

REMOVING SHREDDER FROM TRACTOR

Reverse the above procedure when removing unit from

the tractor. Engage transport lock channel at the four

struts prior to lowering shredder. Release pressure

before removing hoses.

RUBBER FLAPS OR BELTING

All units are equipped with front shield flaps or belting

along the front of the frame. The shield flaps stop or

deflect trash, stones, or other debris picked up by the

flails.

Be sure the shield flaps or belting are in good condition

for operation. Replace if damaged, torn, or missing.

PREPARING FOR OPERATION

1. Pull into the field and position the unit in a level

area.

2. Lower into operating position.

3. Set the 3-point so the quick hitch is vertical and the

floating upper mast is forward.

4. Use stroke control spacer on four cylinders to set

cutting height.

Flail Height

Set the unit to give a flail height of at least 3 to 6

inches (75 to 150 mm) above the ground. This will

minimize the amount of stones and dirt picked up by

the flails under all operating conditions. (See Balance

Statement, page 5.)

NOTE: To avoid unnecessary wear on knives and

related parts, never set the unit lower than the recom-

mended setting. (See Balance Statement, page 5.)

SET OPERATING HEIGHT

Use stroke control spacers. The number and thickness

should be equal on each cylinder to keep shredder

level.

Figure 7. Setting Operating Height

Be sure the floating mast is free to slide in its mounting

frame to allow the machine to follow ground contours.

Refer to Figure 8.

Figure 8. Free-Float Position

FLAIL KNIVES

The shredder is factory equipped with “L” or cup type

flails. The two types are interchangeable.

“L” Flails

“L” flails (Figure 10) work best when trash or crop resi-

due is standing.

Cup Flails

Cup flails (Figure 11) can pick up material from the

ground and work best in matted trash conditions.

The standard cup flail is 11 inches (279 mm) long and

is used for most applications. Optional 7 and 9 inch

(177 and 228 mm) flails are available to match the tip

position to ground contour.

Attach optional cup flails as follows, making sure that

knives at 180° match (see Figure 9) (see Balance

Statement, page 5):

MAN0943 (07/12/2011)

1. Leave standard flails located between the rows.

2. Remove others and install shorter flails to follow

ground contour. Be sure to mount the same size

flails on opposite sides of the tube. Measure the

row spacing and flail position carefully to minimize

ground contact. See page 36 and page 37.

.

Setting Flail Height

1. Be sure wheels are set to follow in the center of

furrow row. Set flails 3 to 6 inches (75 to 150

mm) above the ground. (See Balance Statement,

page 5.)

2. Align the unit with the working area on or between

rows on flat farming.

3. Use stroke control spacers on four cylinders to set

cutting height.

Figure 12. Setting Flail Height

Setting Caster Wheels

Normally, wheels are set to track in the row centers,

between the raised seed beds. Tire position will deter-

mine flail height, but depth of furrow is also a factor in

setting flail height. In some conditions the furrow

between the seed beds is deeper on the ends, where

irrigation waters enter the field. As furrows change

depth, flail height will change.

To compensate for the depth change, move the caster

wheels against the side of the outer seed bed (see Fig-

ure 13). The wheels will then tend to climb up the side

of the seed bed and prevent the flails from hitting the

top of the bed.

Set the flail height after the wheels have been moved

against the seed bed.

STOPPING THE SHREDDER

Before dismounting power unit or performing

any service or maintenance, follow these steps:

disengage power to equipment, lower the 3-point

hitch and all raised components to the ground,

operate valve levers to release any hydraulic pres-

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

and unfasten seat belt.

1. Slowly decrease engine speed to low idle.

2. Disengage center cutter’s hydraulic system (if so

equipped). Never approach unit until the blade has

stopped turning.

3. Slowly disengage PTO clutch. The overrunning

clutch will allow the shredder to freewheel down.

4. Restart the unit only after the drums quit turning.

The PTO will not need to be disengaged to lift the

unit on the ends or while turning.

HAZARD AREA

Make certain all movement of equipment com-

ponents has stopped before approaching for ser-

vice.

Stay away from front, side, and rear of unit while it is

running. Flails can pick up stones, sticks, wire, and

other debris and throw it out with enough force to

severely injure bystanders.

Keep out of shaded area shown in Figure 14.

Shut down unit and wait for moving parts to stop before

approaching.

Figure 14. Hazard Area

GROUND SPEED

Travel speed can vary between 3 and 8 mph (5 and 13

kmph) depending on the bulk of residue and terrain

conditions. The operator is responsible for noting the

condition of the work, setting the speed to obtain a

quality shredding job, and maintaining control of the

unit.

Speed may be increased if shredding quality is good.

Decrease speed if trash is left standing or if some is not

picked up.

GEARBOX OIL LEAKAGE

NOTICE

■Major oil leakage from the gearbox shaft seal

area is not acceptable and could cause the gearbox

to fail due to lack of lubrication and cooling. It is

the operator’s responsibility to check the gearbox

oil level per the Lubrication Service Table.

Before checking gearbox oil level, shut down the

shredder for a couple of hours to allow the oil to drain

back into the reservoir for the most accurate reading.

Proper oil level should be between the full and add

lines on dipstick. When oil is needed, add through the

dipstick tube.

NOTICE

■DO NOT OVERFILL. Lab tests have proven that

overfilling the gearbox can dramatically increase

the gearbox operating temperature. In extreme

cases this can overheat the oil, reducing its lubri-

cating and cooling properties, and eventually

cause shaft seals to deteriorate and fail. Over-

heated oil has an obvious burnt smell; drain it and

refill with new oil. Overfilling gearbox oil can void

the warranty.

The gearbox should not require frequent servicing of

oil. It is not designed to consume or lose large amounts

of oil. If oil needs to be added frequently, troubleshoot-

ing the cause is required (see section below).

Gearbox leakage & Troubleshooting

Some gearbox oil leakage may be acceptable if:

1. Oil covers less than a 3-inch diameter circle around

the shaft seal area (see Figure 29).

2. Oil covers less than a 4-inch diameter circle around

the dipstick tube (see Figure 29).

If oil leakage covers an area larger than that described

in 1 and 2, do the following:

1. Properly check oil level. If low, properly service.

2. Clean oily area of gearbox. Use a degreaser to

remove all oil from outside surface of gearbox.

3. Closely monitor gearbox for 10 hours of operation.

Check and service oil every 30 minutes or as

needed to ensure operation does not occur with oil

below the add mark.

4. If after 10 hours of operation, oil covers less than

the area described in 1 & 2 above, seepage is

considered to be acceptable.

5. If after 10 hours of operation, oil covers more than

the area described in 1 & 2 above, this seepage is

considered to be unacceptable leakage.

6. Gearboxes with unacceptable leakage should be

rebuilt, replacing old seals and worn parts with new

seals and parts. Gearbox rebuild and seal

replacement parts are available through your local

Woods dealer. Consult with Woods Technical

Service for further details, rebuild

recommendations, or warranty questions.

CHANGING GEARBOX OIL

Although gearbox oil never wears out, dust, dirt, and

moisture can enter through the breather during opera-

tion. These contaminants must be removed once a

year to ensure a long life for working components. In

very dusty or dirty conditions, change the oil twice a

year.

1. Clear area of bystanders, especially children.

2. Shut off tractor, place all controls in neutral, set

parking brake, remove key, and wait for all moving

parts to stop.

3. Raise the unit to provide access to underside.

Place safety stands or large blocks under frame.

4. Disconnect PTO driveline and hydraulic lines.

5. Place a pan under drain plug. Remove drain plug

and dipstick plug (see Figure 30).

6. Allow gearbox to drain for 10 minutes.

NOTE: To remove the most contaminants, drain oil

when gearbox is hot.

SERVICING ROTORS (FLAIL TUBES)

Do not handle knives with bare hands. Careless

or improper handling may result in serious injury.

■Any excessive vibration caused by worn or

missing knives or damaged drive components can

cause damage to the shredder and personal injury.

Excessive vibration can also be transmitted

through the hitch mounts and PTO to the tractor

resulting in tractor damage.

■Once field operation has been started, it is the

responsibility of the owner/operator to monitor and

maintain acceptable rotor balance. Refer to Bal-

ance Statement, page 5, for details.

NOTICE

■Read Balance Statement, page 5, before replac-

ing any knives.

Refer to Replacing Knives, page 30, for knife or knife

component replacement.

The Woods Center Drive Flail Shredder has been

designed for durability when shredding any type of

crop. Some operating conditions will shorten the life of

the shredder or components. These include operating

too low to the ground or in frequent contact with the

ground, and contact with large rocks or other foreign

objects. Over time, some types of soils and crops can

cause wear or damage to rotor components and affect

rotor balance, leading to increased vibration. Contin-

ued operation with excessive vibration can damage the

shredder, requiring rotor service, removal, or replace-

ment.

Factory balanced replacement rotors are available

through your local Woods dealer. Contact Woods Tech-

nical Service for re-balance options or further details.

Block Shredded

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 shredder, follow these procedures.

1. Jackstands with a load rating of 2000 lbs or more

are the only approved blocking device for this

shredder. Install a minimum of four jackstands

under the shredder before working underneath

Assembly 43

MAN0943 (07/12/2011)

Do not position jackstands under wheels, axles, or

wheel supports. Components can rotate and cause

shredder 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 shredder is approximately level.

3. With full shredder weight lowered onto jackstands,

test blocking stability before working underneath.

4. If shredder is attached to tractor when blocking, set

the brakes, remove key, and block shredder 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.
