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

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.

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-

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.

the mower. The operator must be properly trained.  
Operators should be familiar with the mower, the trac-  
tor, and all safety practices before starting operation.  
Read the safety rules and safety decals on pages 5 to  
9.  
CAUTION  
This mower is designed for light brush shredding and  
grass mowing. It is especially useful in cane, berry,  
grape and vegetable crops for mowing and shredding  
prunings.  
„ 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.  
Recommended mowing speed for most conditions is  
from 2 to 5 mph.  
TRACTOR STABILITY  
„ Full chain shielding must be installed when  
operating in populated areas or other areas where  
thrown objects could injure people or damage  
property.  
„ 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.  
• 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).  
„ Never allow children or untrained persons to

CUTTING HEIGHT ADJUSTMENT  
„ Keep all persons away from operator control  
area while performing adjustments, service, or  
maintenance.  
NOTICE  
■
Avoid low cutting heights. Striking the ground  
with blades produces one of the most damaging  
shock loads a mower can encounter. Allowing  
blades to contact ground repeatedly will cause  
damage to mower and drive.  
1. Level mower from side to side. Check by  
measuring from mower frame to the ground at  
each deck rail.  
2. Verify that the same amount of spacers are under  
all caster arms.  
3. Loosen cap screws that attach caster arm  
assembly to deck.  
4. Set mower on the ground.  
5. Retighten cap screws. This equalizes the  
clearance in the bolt holes.

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 7.  
Adjust tractor top link so mower is level between caster  
wheel and ground (dimension C), Figure 8. This will  
allow the mower to follow ground contour.  
The mower has three lower hitch plate attachment  
points (D), Figure 7. It may be necessary to change the  
mower hitch plate attachment point to obtain proper tire  
clearance and/or lift height.

using proper procedure. Inspect and repair any  
damage before resuming operation.  
FRONT CASTER WHEEL INTERFERENCE  
CHECK  
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.  
NOTICE  
■
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.  
If mower becomes plugged causing belt to slip for over  
two seconds follow these steps:  
1. Maneuver equipment into a previously cut area  
and allow mower to clear accumulated material.  
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.  
Proper ground speed will depend upon the terrain, the  
height, and type and density of material to be cut.  
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 540 rpm to maintain  
proper blade speed and produce a clean cut.  
Figure 8. Front Caster Wheel Interference Check  
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.  
Perform this check with all of the spacers above caster  
wheel arm. This will place caster wheels in their highest  
position and provide lowest cutting height for mower.  
1. Raise mower with tractor hydraulics to 16" at  
dimension C or maximum height of tractor lift,  
whichever is less.  
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. Pivot both front caster wheels forward and check  
that there is clearance between caster wheels and  
tractor tires.  
3. If there is interference adjust mower hitch arm (E)  
as shown in Figure 7.  
NOTE: If interference continues, see tractor operator's  
manual and adjust tractor wheels to narrower spacing.  
Operating Tips  
FRONT ROLLER (OPTIONAL)  
„ Inspect and clear area of stones, branches, or  
other hard objects that might be thrown, causing  
injury or damage.  
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.  
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.  
OPERATING TECHNIQUE  
Remember, sharp blades produce cleaner cuts and  
require less power.  
CAUTION  
Analyze area to be cut to determine the best proce-  
dure. Consider height and type of grass and terrain  
type: hilly, level, or rough.  
„ Stop power unit and implement immediately  
upon striking an obstruction. Dismount power unit,

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 9. 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 10 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  
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.  
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.  
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 10.  
3. Raise and lower mower several times to distribute  
grease.

BELT SERVICE  
Belt Replacement  
One of the major causes of belt failure is improper  
installation. Before installing a new belt, check the fol-  
lowing:  
1. Check pulley shafts and bearings for wear.  
2. Check pulley grooves for cleanliness.  
„ Keep all persons away from operator control  
area while performing adjustments, service, or  
maintenance.  
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.  
Blade Removal  
1. Remove Nylok bolt (5).  
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.  
2. Remove blade lock (4) from groove in blade pin.  
3. Remove blade (2) and pin (3) from spindle  
assembly (1).  
Belt Installation  
1. Disconnect idler spring from deck lug I.  
2. Slide belt under drive pulley A and over idler arm.

3. Do not sharpen back side of blade.  
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  
Read this entire section before starting any repair.  
Many steps are dependent on each other.  
Seal Replacement  
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.  
Recommended sealant for gearbox repair is Perma-  
tex® 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.  
Fill gearbox with SAE 80W or 90W gear lube until it  
runs out the side level plug.  
Seal Installation  
Inspect gearbox for leakage and bad bearings.  
Leakage is a very serious problem and must be cor-  
rected immediately.  
NOTE: Proper seal installation is important. An improp-  
erly installed seal will leak.

pletely assembled, lubricated, and adjusted for normal  
cutting conditions.  
„ 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.

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.
