SAFETY RULES  
ATTENTION! BECOME ALERT! YOUR SAFETY IS INVOLVED!  
Make sure attachment is properly secured,  
adjusted, and in good operating condition.  
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.  
Make sure spring-activated locking pin or collar  
slides freely and is seated firmly in tractor PTO  
spline groove.  
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.  
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.  
It has been said, “The best safety device is an  
informed, careful operator.” We ask you to be  
that kind of operator.  
Before starting the power unit, check all equip-  
ment driveline guards for damage. Replace any  
damaged guards. Make sure all guards rotate freely  
on all drivelines. If guards do not rotate freely on  
drivelines, repair and replace bearings before put-  
ting equipment into service.  
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  
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.  
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, rubber, or steel band shielding  
before each use. Replace if damaged.  
Remove accumulated debris from this equip-  
ment, power unit, and engine to avoid fire hazard.  
If you do not understand any part of this manual  
and need assistance, see your dealer.  
Make sure all safety decals are installed.  
Replace if damaged. (See Safety Decals section for  
location.)  
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 instructions.  
Do not put this equipment into service unless all  
side skids are properly installed and in good condi-  
tion. Replace if damaged.  
Never allow children or untrained persons to  
operate equipment.  
A minimum 20% of tractor and equipment  
weight must be on the tractor front wheels when  
attachments are in transport position. Without this  
weight, tractor could tip over, causing personal  
injury or death. The weight may be attained with a  
loader, front wheel weights, ballast in tires or front  
tractor weights. Weigh the tractor and equipment.  
Do not estimate.  
PREPARATION  
Check that all hardware is properly installed.  
Always tighten to torque chart specifications  
unless instructed otherwise in this manual.  
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.  
Inspect and clear area of stones, branches, or  
other hard objects that might be thrown, causing  
injury or damage.

and ensure all other controls are disengaged  
before starting power unit engine.  
OPERATION  
Full chain, rubber, or steel band shielding must  
be installed when operating in populated areas or  
other areas where thrown objects could injure peo-  
ple or damage property.  
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.  
• If this machine is not equipped with full chain,  
rubber, or steel band shielding, operation must  
be stopped when anyone comes within 300 feet  
(92 m).  
Do not operate or transport on steep slopes.  
Do not stop, start, or change directions sud-  
denly on slopes.  
• 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).  
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.  
Do not allow bystanders in the area when oper-  
ating, attaching, removing, assembling, or servic-  
ing equipment.  
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.  
Leak down or failure of mechanical or hydraulic  
system can cause equipment to drop.  
TRANSPORTATION  
Always comply with all state and local lighting  
and marking requirements.  
Never allow riders on power unit or attachment.  
Do not operate PTO during transport.  
Watch for hidden hazards on the terrain.  
A minimum 20% of tractor and equipment  
weight must be on the tractor front wheels when  
attachments are in transport position. Without this  
weight, front tractor wheels could raise up result-  
ing in loss of steering. The weight may be attained  
with front wheel weights, ballast in tires or front  
tractor weights. Weigh the tractor and equipment.  
Do not estimate.  
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.

CHECK CHAIN ADJUSTMENT  
1. Refer to Check Chain Installation (Optional), page  
33 for check chain installation.  
CUTTING HEIGHT ADJUSTMENT  
2. After making cutting height adjustment, adjust both  
chains (3) in check chain bracket (2) so you have  
the same number of links on each side. This will  
keep your cutting level.  
Before working underneath, disconnect drive-  
line, raise cutter, lock in transport position, and  
block cutter securely. Hydraulic system leak down  
and failure of mechanical or hydraulic system can  
cause equipment to drop.  
Keep all persons away from operator control  
area while performing adjustments, service, or  
maintenance.  
Avoid low cutting heights. Striking the ground  
with blades produces one of the most damaging  
shock loads a cutter can encounter. Allowing  
blades to contact ground repeatedly will cause  
damage to cutter and drive.  
2. Check chain bracket  
3. Check chain  
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.

from cutter frame to the ground at each deck rail.  
To Install:  
2. Adjust, using tractor 3-point arm leveling device.  
Pull locking collar back and at the same time push  
driveline onto tractor PTO shaft until locking device  
engages.  
NOTE: Keep the front of cutter level with or slightly  
lower than rear for best mowing.  
To Remove:  
Hold driveline into position, pull locking collar back, and  
slide driveline off tractor PTO shaft.  
3. Control cutting height with tractor 3-point arms,  
rear tailwheel adjustment, or optional check chains.  
4. To raise rear of cutter, move tailwheel down.  
5. To raise front of cutter, raise tractor 3-point arms or  
shorten optional check chains.  
The cutting height is the distance between the  
blade and the ground. The blades are approxi-  
mately 11.5" below the deck. To check cutting  
height, do the following:  
a) Place a straight edge along top edge of deck.  
b) Select a cutting height; as an example, for an  
approximate cutting height of 3", set the center  
of the deck 14.5" above the ground:

OPERATING TECHNIQUE  
STORAGE  
1. Power for operating the cutter is supplied by the  
tractor PTO. Operate PTO at 540 rpm. Know how  
to stop the tractor and cutter quickly in an  
emergency.  
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 cutter from tractor 3-point hitch  
and carefully drive tractor away from cutter.  
2. Engage PTO at a low engine rpm to minimize  
stress on the drive system and gearbox. With PTO  
engaged, raise PTO speed to 540 rpm and  
maintain throughout cutting operation.  
Keep children and bystanders away from stor-  
age area.  
Gearbox protection is provided by a slip clutch with  
replacement fiber disc. The slip clutch is designed  
to slip when excessive torsional loads occur.  
PRE-OPERATION CHECK LIST  
OWNER’S RESPONSIBILITY  
___ Review and follow all safety rules and safety  
decal instructions on page 7 through page 11.  
3. Move slowly into material. Adjust tractor ground  
speed to provide a clean cut without lugging the  
tractor engine. Use a slow ground speed for better  
shredding.  
___ Check that equipment is properly and securely  
attached to tractor.  
___ Make sure driveline spring-activated locking pin  
or collar slides freely and is seated firmly in trac-  
tor PTO spline groove.  
Proper ground speed will depend on the terrain  
and the material’s height, type, and density.  
___ Set tractor PTO at 540 rpm.  
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.  
___ Lubricate all grease fitting locations. Make sure  
PTO shaft slip joint is lubricated.  
___ Check to be sure gear lube runs out the small  
check plug on side of gearbox.  
___ Check that all hardware is properly installed and  
secured.  
4. Always operate tractor PTO at 540 rpm to maintain  
proper blade speed and to produce a clean cut.  
___ Check that blades are sharp and secure and cut-  
ting edge is positioned to lead in a counterclock-  
wise rotation.  
5. Under certain conditions tractor tires may roll down  
some grass and prevent cutting at the same height  
as the surrounding area. When this occurs, reduce  
your ground speed but maintain PTO at 540 rpm.  
The lower ground speed will permit grass to  
rebound partially.  
___ Check that shields and guards are properly  
installed and in good condition. Replace if dam-  
aged.  
___ Check cutting height, front-to-rear attitude, and  
top link adjustment.  
___ Place tractor PTO and transmission in neutral  
before starting engine.  
SHREDDING MATERIAL  
For shredding, set the cutter lower at rear. Determine  
how much lower to set the rear by experimenting in dif-  
ferent situations.  
___ Inspect area to be cut and remove stones,  
branches, or other hard objects that might be  
thrown and cause injury or damage.

For your protection, read and follow the safety informa-  
tion in this manual.  
5. With full cutter weight lowered onto jackstands, test  
blocking stability before working underneath.  
6. If cutter is attached to tractor when blocking, set  
the brakes, remove key, and block cutter before  
working underneath.  
Keep all persons away from operator control  
area while performing adjustments, service, or  
maintenance.  
7. Securely block rear tractor wheels, in front and

mechanism to prevent side-to-side movement.  
CAUTION  
If you do not understand any part of this manual  
and need assistance, see your dealer.  
Always wear relatively tight and belted clothing  
to avoid getting caught in moving parts. Wear  
sturdy, rough-soled work shoes and protective  
equipment for eyes, hair, hands, hearing, and head;  
and respirator or filter mask where appropriate.  
BLOCKING METHOD  
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

Figure 11. Jackstand Placement & Lubrication Points  
LUBRICATION INFORMATION  
To minimize the potential hazards or working under-  
neath the cutter, follow these procedures:  
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.  
1. Jackstands with a load rating of 1000 lbs or more  
are the only approved blocking device for this  
cutter. Install a minimum of four jackstands (shown  
by Xs in Figure 11) under the cutter before working  
underneath unit.  
Do not let excess grease collect on or around parts,  
particularly when operating in sandy areas.  
2. Do not position jackstands under wheels, axles, or  
wheel supports. Components can rotate and cause  
cutter to fall.  
See Figure 11 for lubrication points and frequency or  
lubrication based on normal operating conditions.  
Severe or unusual conditions may require more fre-  
quent lubrication.  
3. Consider the overall stability of the blocked unit.  
Just placing jackstands underneath will not ensure  
your safety.

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:  
Gearbox Lubrication  
For gearbox, use a high quality gear oil with a viscosity  
index of 80W or 90W and an API service rating of GL-4  
or -5 in gearboxes. Fill gearbox until oil runs out the  
side plug on gearbox. Check gearbox daily for evi-  
dence of leakage, and contact your dealer if leakage  
occurs.  
1. Turn off tractor engine and remove key.  
2. Remove driveline from tractor PTO.

sure clutch slips.  
5. If clutch does not slip freely, disassemble and clean  
the flange yoke (1), clutch hub (3), drive plate (4),  
drive plate (5), and thrust plate faces (6).  
2. Lower cutter to ground, disconnect driveline from  
tractor PTO shaft, and slide halves apart but do not  
disconnect from each other.  
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 12.  
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.  
SLIP CLUTCH ADJUSTMENT  
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.  
The slip clutch is designed to slip so that the gearbox  
and driveline are protected if the cutter strikes an  
obstruction.

and shaft seals.  
vice personnel. The repair described here requires  
special skills and tools. If your shop is not properly  
equipped or your mechanics are not properly trained in  
this type of repair, you may be time and money ahead  
to replace complete assemblies.  
Leakage at the horizontal gasket or seal can be  
repaired without removing the gearbox from the cutter.  
Seal Installation  
Refer to Figure 17.  
Before working underneath, read manual  
instructions, securely block up, and check stability.  
Secure blocking prevents equipment from drop-  
ping due to hydraulic leak down, hydraulic system  
failure, or mechanical component failure.  
NOTE: Proper seal installation is important. An improp-  
erly installed seal will leak.  
1. Clean area in housing where seal outer diameter  
(OD) seats. Apply a thin coat of Permatex®.  
Keep all persons away from operator control  
area while performing adjustments, service, or  
maintenance.  
2. Inspect area of shaft where seal seats. Remove  
any burrs or nicks with an emery cloth.  
CAUTION  
3. Lubricate gear shaft and seal lips.  
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.  
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.  
GEARBOX MAINTENANCE  
NOTE: Read this entire section before starting any  
repair. Many steps are dependent on each other.  
1. Seal  
2. Pipe or tube  
3. Seal seat  
4. Casting  
1. Fill gearbox with SAE 80W or 90W gear lube until it  
runs out the side level plug.  
Pipe or tube must  
press at outer  
edge of seal.  
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®

DEALER SET-UP INSTRUCTIONS  
Assembly of this cutter is the responsibility of the  
Woods dealer. If should be delivered to the owner com-  
pletely assembled, lubricated, and adjusted for normal  
cutting conditions.  
• 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).  
Complete Dealer Check Lists, page 34 when you  
have completed the assembly.  
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  
45.  
Make sure spring-activated locking pin or collar  
slides freely and is seated firmly in tractor PTO  
spline groove.  
Operate tractor PTO at 540 RPM. Do not exceed.  
CAUTION  
Full chain, rubber, or steel band shielding must  
be installed when operating in populated areas or  
other areas where thrown objects could injure peo-  
ple or damage property.
