GENERAL 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.  
■
Some illustrations in this manual show the  
mower with safety shields removed to provide a  
better view. The mower should never be operated  
with any safety shielding removed.  
The illustrations and data used in this manual were cur-  
rent at the time of printing. However, 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.  
The purpose of this manual is to assist you in operating  
and maintaining your mower. Read it carefully. It fur-  
nishes 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  
Throughout this manual, references are made to right  
and left directions. These are determined by standing  
behind the tractor facing the direction of forward travel.

SAFETY RULES  
ATTENTION! BECOME ALERT! YOUR SAFETY IS INVOLVED!  
„ Make sure spring-activated locking pin or collar  
slides freely and is seated firmly in tractor PTO  
spline groove.  
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 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.  
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  
„ 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.  
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  
„ 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.  
„ 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.  
„ Remove accumulated debris from this equip-  
ment, power unit, and engine to avoid fire hazard.  
„ Make sure all safety decals are installed.  
Replace if damaged. (See Safety Decals section for  
location.)  
„ Know your controls and how to stop engine and  
attachment quickly in an emergency.  
„
Make sure shields and guards are properly  
installed and in good condition. Replace if damaged.  
„ If you do not understand any part of this manual  
and need assistance, see your dealer.  
„ A minimum 25% 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. Weigh the tractor and equipment. Do not  
estimate.  
„
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.  
„ Never allow children or untrained persons to  
operate equipment.  
OPERATION  
„ Full chain shielding must be installed when  
operating in populated areas or other areas where  
thrown objects could injure people or damage  
property.  
PREPARATION  
„ Check that all hardware is properly installed.  
Always tighten to torque chart specifications  
unless instructed otherwise in this manual.  
• If this machine is not equipped with full chain  
shielding, operation must be stopped when any-  
one 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).  
„ 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.

other hard objects that might be thrown, causing  
injury or damage.  
„ Do not operate or transport equipment while  
under the influence of alcohol or drugs.  
„ Never direct discharge toward people, animals,  
or property.  
„ Always comply with all state and local lighting  
and marking requirements.  
„ Keep bystanders away from equipment.  
„ Never allow riders on power unit or attachment.  
„ Do not operate or transport equipment while  
under the influence of alcohol or drugs.  
MAINTENANCE  
„ Operate only in daylight or good artificial light.  
„ Before working underneath, carefully read Oper-  
ator’s Manual instructions, disconnect driveline,  
raise mower, securely block up all corners with  
jackstands, and check stability. Secure blocking  
prevents equipment from dropping due to hydrau-  
lic leak down, hydraulic system failures, or  
mechanical component failures.  
„ 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.  
„ Do not modify or alter or permit anyone else to  
modify or alter the equipment or any of its compo-  
nents in any way.  
„ 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.  
„ 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.  
„ Operate tractor PTO at 540 RPM. Do not exceed.  
„ Look down and to the rear and make sure area  
is clear before operating in reverse.  
„ Make sure attachment is properly secured,  
adjusted, and in good operating condition.  
„ Do not operate or transport on steep slopes.  
„ Do not stop, start, or change directions sud-  
denly on slopes.  
„ Keep all persons away from operator control  
area while performing adjustments, service, or  
maintenance.  
„ Use extreme care and reduce ground speed on  
slopes and rough terrain.  
„
Make certain all movement of equipment com-

operation.  
ponents has stopped before approaching for ser-  
vice.  
„ Stop power unit and implement immediately  
upon striking an obstruction. Dismount power unit,  
using proper procedure. Inspect and repair any  
damage before resuming operation.  
„ 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.  
TRANSPORTATION  
„ Use additional caution and reduce speed when  
under adverse surface conditions, turning, or on  
inclines.  
„ Do not operate PTO during transport.  
„ A minimum 25% 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. Weigh the tractor and equipment. Do not  
estimate.  
„ Frequently check blades. They should be sharp,  
free of nicks and cracks, and securely fastened.  
„ Do not handle blades with bare hands. Careless  
or improper handling may result in serious injury.

equipment specifications and may be dangerous.  
„ Wear gloves when installing belt. Be careful to  
prevent fingers from being caught between belt  
and pulley.  
„ Use care when installing or removing belt from  
spring-loaded idler. Springs store energy when  
extended and, if released suddenly, can cause per-  
sonal injury.  
„ Tighten all bolts, nuts, and screws to torque  
chart specifications. Check that all cotter pins are  
installed securely to ensure equipment is in a safe  
condition before putting unit into service.

FRONT CASTER ARM CONFIGURATION  
For PRD6000 & PRD7200 only  
The front casters can be set in two positions. Figure 8  
shows the two possible configurations for the  
PRD6000 and PRD7200 front caster arms.  
●
The inner position allows the outside edge of the  
mower to be used for trimming under shrubs or  
fences.  
Figure 5. Height Adjustment with Caster Arm Spacers  
●
The outer position provides the most clearance for  
rear tractor tire interference.  
TRACTOR TOP LINK ADJUSTMENT  
To change configurations, remove the cap screws and  
nuts and move the arms from one side of the wheel rail  
to the other. Secure with same hardware.  
When the cutting height is set, adjust tractor top link  
until mower top link attachment point (A) is aligned ver-  
tically with mower hitch pin (B), Figure 6.  
The rear caster arms should be mounted as shown.  
Adjust tractor top link so mower is level between caster  
wheel and ground (dimension C), Figure 7. This will  
allow the mower to follow ground contour.  
NOTE: The PRD8400 front caster arms are fixed and  
cannot be changed.

position. If interference continues, adjust mower  
hitch plate (E) as shown in Figure 6.  
■
Do not operate tractor and mower until this  
interference check has been performed. If you  
change tractors, you must perform the check for  
that mounting.  
NOTE: On model PRD8400, caster wheel width is not  
adjustable; see tractor operator's manual and adjust  
tractor wheels to narrower spacing.  
FRONT ROLLER (OPTIONAL)  
The caster wheels and side skids effectively reduce  
scalping in most cases. However, you may encounter  
areas where the caster wheels and/or side skids drop  
into depressions and allow center of the mower to con-  
tact ground and scalp. An optional front roller may be  
installed to minimize scalping. See page 31.  
OPERATING TECHNIQUE  
Figure 9. Front Caster Wheel Interference Check  
CAUTION  
Perform this check with all of the spacers and springs  
above the caster wheel arm. This will place the caster  
wheels in their highest position and provide the lowest  
cutting height for the mower.  
„ Stop power unit and implement immediately  
upon striking an obstruction. Dismount power unit,  
using proper procedure. Inspect and repair any  
damage before resuming operation.  
1. Raise mower with tractor hydraulics to 16" at  
dimension C or maximum height of tractor lift,  
whichever is less.  
Power for operating mower is supplied by tractor PTO.  
Operate PTO at 540 rpm. Know how to stop tractor and  
mower quickly in an emergency.

If mower becomes plugged causing belt to slip for over  
two seconds follow these steps:  
Uneven Terrain  
1. Maneuver equipment into a previously cut area  
and allow mower to clear accumulated material.  
„ Do not operate or transport on steep slopes.  
2. Continue running at least two minutes, allowing  
pulleys to cool. Stopping the mower in contact with  
a very hot pulley will bake and ruin belt.  
„ Do not stop, start, or change directions sud-  
denly on slopes.  
Proper ground speed will depend upon the terrain, the  
height, and type and density of material to be cut.  
„ Use extreme care and reduce ground speed on  
slopes and rough terrain.  
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.  
„ Watch for hidden hazards on the terrain during  
operation.  
Pass diagonally through sharp dips and avoid sharp  
drops to prevent hanging up tractor and mower.  
Always operate tractor PTO at 540 rpm to maintain  
proper blade speed and produce a clean cut.  
Practice will improve your skills in maneuvering rough  
terrain.  
Under certain conditions, tractor tires may roll some  
grass down and prevent it from being cut 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 par-  
tially rebound.  
MOWER REMOVAL & STORAGE  
1. Disengage tractor PTO and raise mower with the  
3-point hitch.  
In general, lower cutting heights give a more even cut  
and leave less tire tracks. However, it is better to cut  
grass frequently rather than too short. Short grass  
deteriorates rapidly in hot weather and invites weed  
growth during growing seasons. Follow local recom-  
mendations for the suitable cutting height in your area.  
2. Disconnect mower driveshaft from tractor PTO.  
3. Collapse driveshaft as far as possible and store it  
in PTO hanger bracket to prevent ground contact.  
4. Before extended storage, see page 19 for cleaning  
instructions.  
5. Place blocks under mower side skids. Lower  
mower onto blocks, disconnect mower from tractor  
3-point hitch, and carefully drive tractor away from  
mower.  
Operating Tips  
„ Inspect and clear area of stones, branches, or  
other hard objects that might be thrown, causing  
injury or damage.  
Extremely tall material should be cut twice. Set mower  
at a higher cutting height for the first pass. Then cut at  
desired height, 90 degrees to the first pass.  
Remember, sharp blades produce cleaner cuts and  
require less power.  
Analyze area to be cut to determine the best proce-  
dure. Consider height and type of grass and terrain  
type: hilly, level, or rough.  
CM905A  
Plan your mowing pattern to travel straight forward  
whenever possible. Mow with uncut grass to the right.  
This will distribute the clippings over the cut area.

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.  
„ Never allow children or untrained persons to  
operate equipment.  
„ Keep bystanders away from equipment.  
„ Before working underneath, carefully read Oper-  
ator’s Manual instructions, disconnect driveline,  
raise mower, securely block up all corners with  
jackstands, and check stability. Secure blocking  
prevents equipment from dropping due to hydrau-  
lic leak down, hydraulic system failures, or  
mechanical component failures.  
Figure 11. Blocking Method  
LUBRICATION INFORMATION  
Do not let excess grease collect on or around parts,  
particularly when operating in sandy areas.  
„ Keep all persons away from operator control  
area while performing adjustments, service, or  
maintenance.  
Figure 12 shows the lubrication points. The accompa-  
nying chart gives the frequency of lubrication in operat-  
ing hours, based on normal operating conditions.  
„ Operate tractor PTO at 540 RPM. Do not exceed.  
Severe or unusual conditions may require more fre-  
quent lubrication. Some reference numbers have more  
than one location; be sure you lubricate all locations.  
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.  
Use a lithium grease of #2 consistency with a MOLY  
(molybdenum disulfide) additive for all locations. Be  
sure to clean fittings thoroughly before attaching  
grease gun. When applied according to the lubrication  
chart, one good pump of most guns is sufficient.  
Use SAE 90W gear lube in the gearbox. Fill to plug on  
side of gearbox.  
BLOCKING METHOD  
Check gearbox daily for evidence of leakage at both  
seals and the gasket between the housing and cover. If  
leakage is noted, repair immediately. There may be a  
small amount of lube emitted from the vent plug; this is  
not considered leakage.  
Do not work underneath mower unless it is properly  
attached to the tractor and blocked securely. When  
properly attached, the unit will be anchored to minimize  
front to rear movement.  
Raise mower completely, set tractor brakes, turn  
engine off, remove key, block tractor wheels front and  
rear, and disconnect mower driveline from tractor.  
Overfilling the gearbox will cause the excess gear lube  
to blow out vent plug and ruin the belt.  
The only approved blocking device for this mower is a  
jackstand with a load rating of 1000 pounds or more.  
One jackstand under each corner of the mower (four  
total) must be installed before working underneath.  
Driveshaft Lubrication  
Lubricate the driveshaft slip joint every 8 operating  
hours. Failure to maintain proper lubrication could  
result in damage to U-joints, gearbox, and driveshaft.  
When blocking, you must consider overall stability of  
the unit. Just blocking under the unit will not ensure  
your safety. The working surface must be level and  
solid to support the loaded weight of the jackstands.  
Test jackstands stability before working under any por-  
tion of the mower.  
1. Lower mower to ground.  
2. Apply grease at three locations shown in Figure 12.  
3. Raise and lower mower several times to distribute  
grease.

with belt to obtain enough belt length to route it  
over pulley E. Make sure spring-loaded idler pivots  
freely with belt installed.  
Belt Replacement  
One of the major causes of belt failure is improper  
installation. Before installing a new belt, check the fol-  
lowing:  
NOTICE  
1. Check pulley shafts and bearings for wear.  
2. Check pulley grooves for cleanliness.  
■ Use care when installing or removing belt from  
spring-loaded idler at step 5. Springs store energy  
when extended and, if released suddenly, can  
cause personal injury.  
3. Make sure spindles turn freely and without wobble.  
If grooves require cleaning, moisten a cloth with a non-  
flammable, non-toxic degreasing agent or commercial  
detergent and water.  
6. Adjust belt guide G to provide 1/16" to 1/8"  
clearance from belt. Tighten bolt to 85 lbs-ft.  
Avoid excessive force during installation. Do not use  
tools to pry belt into pulley groove. Do not roll belt over  
pulleys to install. This can cause hidden damage and  
premature belt failure.  
BLADE SERVICE  
Belt Installation  
„ 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. Disconnect idler spring from deck lug I.  
2. Slide belt under drive pulley A and over idler arm.  
Position belt around drive pulley A.  
3. Loosen bolt holding belt guide G and swing it away  
from pulley B. Route belt around pulley B, idler C  
and pulley D as shown.  
„ Keep all persons away from operator control  
area while performing adjustments, service, or  
maintenance.  
4. Make sure belt is on drive pulley A, route around  
idler F, and connect idler spring to lug I on deck.

4. Do not sharpen blade to a razor edge. Leave from  
1/32" to 1/16" blunt edge.  
5. Do not sharpen back side.  
CHAIN SHIELDING  
„ Full chain 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  
shielding, operation must be stopped when any-  
one 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).

GEARBOX REPAIR  
Seal Replacement  
Recommended sealant for gearbox repair is Perma-  
tex® Aviation 3D Form-A-Gasket or equivalent.  
Read this entire section before starting any repair.  
Many steps are dependent on each other.  
Leakage can occur at the vertical or horizontal gaskets  
and shaft seals.  
Repair to this gearbox is limited to replacing bearings,  
seals, and gaskets. Replacing gears, shafts, and a  
housing is not cost effective. It is more economical to  
purchase a complete gearbox if repair to anything other  
than replacement of bearings, seals or gaskets is  
required.  
Leakage at the horizontal gasket or seal can be  
repaired without removing the gearbox from the cutter.

INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS  
1. Using the tractor 3-point, or suitable lifting device, carefully lower deck onto 4" - 6" high blocks  
at each corner.  
2. Make sure deck is stable before proceeding.  
3. Wear safety glasses or goggles to prevent eye injury while drilling holes.  
4. Clamp mulching kit in place. Make sure baffles are completely closed-off by the kit.  
5. Inspect fit-up to confirm that there will be no contact between blades and kit at any time. Failure  
to do so will result in product damage and possible injury.  
6. Mark the holes to be drilled.  
7. Once marked, remove the kit and carefully drill the holes out using a 9/16" drill bit.  
8. After holes are drilled, bolt the kit into place torqueing bolts to 85 lbs-ft.
