TRAINING

Safety is a primary concern in the design and
manufacture of our produc ts. Unfortunately, our
efforts to provide sa fe equipment can be wiped
out by an operator’s single careless act.

In addition to the design and configuration of
equipment, hazard co ntrol and accident p reven­tion 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.

SAFETY RULES

ATTENTION! BECOME ALERT! YOUR SAFETY IS INVOLVED!

Attach the cutter to the tractor 3-point hitch (or quick
hitch if available). Do not attach driveline. Raise and
lower cutter to de termine maximum and m inimum dis­tance between the tractor PT O shaft and the gearbox
input shaft. If the d is tan ce is to o la rge, the dr iv elin e wi ll
be too short for proper engagement. If dista nce is too
small, the driveline may bottom out in operation and
damage the cutter or tractor.

The driveline length must be sufficient to provide at
least 1/3 driveline length of eng agement du ring opera­tion. There must be at lea st 4 inc hes o f en gag eme nt a t
the cutter’s lowest possible point of operation. The driv­eline must not bottom out when raised to the maximum
height possible.

If driveline is too short, please call your Wood s dealer
for a longer driveline.

If driveline is too long, pleas e follow the inst ructi ons for
shortening the driveline.

5. Cut the shield to the overall dimension.

SHORTENING DRIVELINE

1. Move cutter up and down to get the shortest

possible distance between tractor PTO shaft and
gearbox input shaft.

2. Separate driveline into two halves and connect
them to the tractor PTO and gearbox.

3. Place driveline halves parallel to one another to
determine how much to shorten the driveline.

NOTICE

■

If attaching with quick hitch, the distance
between the tractor PTO and gearbox input shaft
will increase. Please follow th e steps a s you w ould
for a 3-point hitch to insure proper engagement.

DRIVELINE INTERFERENCE CHECK

1. Check for clearance between driveline and cutter

deck.

2. Slowly lift cutter and obs er ve d riv eli ne . If cl ea ranc e
between driveline and cutter deck is less than 1
inch, shorten top l ink or limit upper trav el of lower
hitch arms. Refer to tractor operator's manual for
instructions.

1. Level cutter from side to side . Chec k by meas ur in g
from cutter frame to the ground at each deck rail.

2. Adjust, using tractor 3-point arm leveling device.
NOTE: Keep the front of cutter slightly lower tha n

rear for best mowing.

3. Control cutting height with tractor 3-point arms,
rear tailwheel adjustment, or optional check chains.

4. To raise rear of cutter, move tailwheel arm 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 approximately 8.5"
below the deck. To chec k cutting he ight, 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 hei ght of 3", set the center of
the deck 11.5" above the ground:

CUTTING HEIGHT ADJUSTMENT

 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.

c) Adjust the front-to-rear attitude from 1/2" to 3/4"

higher than the front.

6. Adjust top link (BB6 0X, BB72X , BB84X) to provide
2" of clearance between break link (2) and rear lift
links. See Figure 10. The clearance will allow cutter
to float over uneven terrain.

SHREDDING MATERIAL

For shredding, set the cu tter lower at rear. Determine
how much lower to set the rear by experimenting in dif­ferent situations.

WARNING

1. Refer to Install Optional C heck Chain s, page 42
for check chain installation.

2. After making cutting h e ig ht ad ju stm ent , adj ust bot h
chains (3) in c heck chain bracket ( 2) so you have
the same number of links on each side. This will
keep cutting level.

4. Always operate tractor PTO at 540 rpm to maintain
proper blade speed and to produce a clean cut.

5. Under certain conditions tractor tires may roll down
some grass and prevent cu tti ng at th e sa me he igh t

your ground speed but maintain PTO at 54 0 rpm.
The lower ground speed will permit grass to
rebound partially.

STORAGE

 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.

 Keep children and bystanders away from stor­age area.

PRE-OPERATION CHECK LIST

OWNER’S RESPONSIBILITY

Figure 11. Check Chain Adjustment

OPERATING TECHNIQUE

1. Power for operating the cutter is supplied by the

tractor PTO. Opera te PTO at 540 r pm. Know how
to stop the tractor and cutter quickly in an
emergency.

2. Engage PTO at a low engine rpm to minimize
stress on the drive syst em and ge arbox. W ith PT O
engaged, raise PTO speed to 540 rpm and
maintain throughout cutting operation.

Gearbox protection is provided by a slip clutch with
replacement fiber disc or a shear bolt. The slip
clutch is designed to slip and the shear bolt will
shear when excessive torsion loads occur.

3. Move slowly into material. Adjust tractor ground
speed to provide a clean cut without lugging the
tractor engine. Use a sl ow ground speed for bet ter
shredding.

Proper ground speed will depend on the terrain
and the material’s height, type, and density.

Normally, ground speed will range from 2 to 5 mph.
Tall, dense material should be cu t at a low speed;
thin, medium-height m aterial can be c ut at a fas ter
ground speed.

___ Review and follow all safety rules and safety

decal instructions on page 7 through page 11.

___ Check that equipment is properly and securely

attached to tractor.

___ Make sure driveline spring-activated locking pin

or collar slid es freely and is seated firmly in t rac-

tor PTO spline groove.
___ Set tractor PTO at 540 rpm.
___ 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 hardwa re is properly inst alled and

secured.
___ Check that blades are sha rp and sec ure and c ut-

ting edge is positioned to lead in a counte rclock-

wise rotation.
___ Check that shields and guards are properly

installed and in g ood condition. Replace i f dam-

aged.
___ Check cutting height, front-to-rear attitude, and

top link adjustment.
___ Place tractor PTO and transmission in neutral

before starting engine.
___ Inspect area to be cut and remove stones,

branches, or other hard objects that might be

thrown and cause injury or damage.

WARNING

CAUTION

WARNING

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 sa fety info rma ­tion in this manual

 Keep all persons away from operator control
area while performing adjustments, service , or
maintenance.

 If you do not understand any part of this manual
and need assistance, see your dealer.

 Always wear relatively tight and belted clothing
to avoid getting ca ught in moving parts. We ar
sturdy, rough-soled work shoes and protective
equipment for eyes, hair, hands, hearing, and head;
and respirator or filter mask where appropriate.

BLOCKING METHOD

 Before performing any service or maintenance,
disconnect driveline from tractor PTO.

 Never go underneath equipment (lowered to the
ground or raised) unless it is properly blocked and
secured. Never place any part of the body under­neath equipment or between moveable parts even
when the engine has been turned off. Hydraulic
system leak down, hydraulic system failures,
mechanical failures, or mov ement of control le vers
can cause equipment to drop or rotate unexpect­edly and cause severe injury or death. Follow Oper­ator's Manual instructions for working underneath
and blocking requirements or have work done by a
qualified dealer.

To minimize the potential hazards of working under­neath the cutter, follow these procedures.

1. Jackstands with a load ratin g of 1000 lbs or mo re
are the only approved blocking device for this
cutter. Install a minim um o f four jac kstan ds (shown
by Xs in Figure 12) under the cutter before working
underneath unit.

Do not position jackstands under wheels, axle s, or
wheel supports. Components can rotate and cause
cutter to fall.

2. Consider the overall stability of the blocked unit.
Just placing jack stands underneath w ill not e nsure
your safety.

The working surface must be level and solid to
support the weight on the jackstands. Make sure
jackstands are s table, both top and bottom. Mak e
sure cutter is approximately level.

3. With full cutter weight lowered onto jackstands, test
blocking stability before working underneath.

4. If cutter is attached to tractor when blocking, set
the brakes, remove key, and block cutter before
working underneath.

5. Securely block rear tractor wheels, in front and
behind. Tighten tractor lower 3-point arm anti-sway
mechanism to prevent side-to-side movement.

LUBRICATION INFORMATION

1. Do not let excess grease collect on or around

parts, particularly when operating in sandy areas.

2. See Figure 12 for lubricat ion points and freq uency
of lubrication based on normal operating
conditions. Severe or unusual conditions may
require more frequent lubrication.

3. Use a lithium grease of #2 consistency with a
MOLY (molybdenum disulfide) additive for all
locations unles s otherwi se noted. Be sur e to c lean
fittings thoroughly before attaching grease gun.
One good pump of most guns is sufficient when the
lubrication schedule is followed.

Gearbox Lubrication

1. For gearbox, use a high quality gear oil with a

viscosity index o f 80W or 90W and an API s ervice
rating of GL-4 or -5 in gearboxes.

2. Fill gearbox until oil runs out the side plug on
gearbox. Check gearbox daily for evidence of
leakage, and contact your dealer if leakage occurs.

Driveline Lubrication

1. Lubricate the driveline slip joint every eight

operating hours. Failure to maintain proper
lubrication could result in damage to U-joints,
gearbox, and driveline.

2. Lower cutter to ground, disconnect driveline from
tractor PTO shaft, and slide halves apart but do not
disconnect from each other.

3. Apply a bead of grease completely around male
half where it meets fe male half. Slide driv e halves
over each other several times to distribute grease.

Blade Sharpening

NOTICE

■

When sharpening blades, grind the same
amount on each blade to maintain balance.
Replace blades in pairs. Unbalanced blades will
cause excessive vibration, which can damage
gearbox bearings. Vib ration may also cau se struc­tural cracks to cutter.

1. Sharpen both blades at the same time to main tain

balance. Follow original sharpening pattern.

2. Do not sharpen blade to a razor edge—leave at
least a 1/16" blunt edge.

3. Do not sharpen back side of blade.

8. If clutch does not slip, check assembly for oil,

grease and debris. Clean if necessary.

9. Reassemble clutch and tighten bolts no more than
1/8 of a turn at a time until desi red setting of 1.26"
on BB48X, BB60X and BB7 2X cutters is reached.
For BB84X cutters, set to 1.36". See Figure 15.

Incorrect
Installation

The information in this section is written for deale r ser­vice personnel. The repair described here requires
special skills and tools. If your shop is not properly
equipped or your mec han ic s a r e not prope rl y t ra ined i n
this type of repair, you may be time a nd money ahea d
to replace complete assemblies.

 Before working underneath, disconnect drive­line, raise cutter, lock in transport position, and
block cutter securely. Hydraulic system leak down
and failure of mechanical or hydraulic system can
cause equipment to drop.

 Keep all persons away from operator control
area while performing adjustments, service , or
maintenance.

 Always wear relatively tight and belted clothing
to avoid getting ca ught in moving parts. We ar
sturdy, rough-soled work shoes and protective
equipment for eyes, hair, hands, hearing, and head;
and respirator or filter mask where appropriate.

Leakage can occur at the ver tical or horizont al gask ets
and shaft seals.

Leakage at the horizontal gasket or seal can be
repaired without removing the gearbox from the cutter.

Seal Installation

NOTE: Proper seal installation is important. An improp-

erly installed seal will leak.

1. Clean area in ho using where seal outer diameter
(OD) seats. Apply a thin coat of Permatex.

2. Inspect area of shaft where seal seats. Remove
any burrs or nicks with an emery cloth.

3. Lubricate gear shaft and seal lips.

4. Place seal squarely on housing, spring-loaded lip

toward housing. Select a piece of pipe or tubing
with an OD that wi ll sit on the outsid e edge of the
seal but will clear the hous ing. 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. Fill gearbox with SAE 80W or 90W gear lube until it
runs out the side level plug.

NOTE: Repair to this gearbox is limited to replac­ing bearings, sea ls, and gask ets. Replacin g g ears,
shafts, and a housing is not cost effective. Pur­chasing a complete gearbox is more economical.

2. Inspect gearbox for leakage and bad bearings.
Leakage is a very serious problem and must be
corrected immediate ly. Bearing failure is indicate d
by excessive noise an d side-to-side or end-play in
gear shafts.
