INSTALLATION
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 prevention 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!
Hydraulics must be connected as instructed in
this manual. Do not substitute parts, modify, or
connect in any other way.

unless instructed otherwise in this manual.
Air in hydraulic systems can cause erratic operation 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.
After connecting hoses, check that all control
lever positions function as instructed in the Operator's Manual. Do not put into service until control
lever and equipment movements are correct.
Set tractor hydraulic relief valve at 2500 psi (170
bars) (17,000 kPa) to prevent injury and equipment
damage due to hydraulic system failure.
Your dealer can supply original equipment
hydraulic accessories and repair parts. Substitute
parts may not meet original equipment specifications and may be dangerous.

Interference Check
1.
Be sure that tractor 3-point lift links do not interfere
with hydraulic hoses, cutter driveline, or cutter
frame.
2.
Check for straight-ahead operation and at full
turning angles. If there is any interference, remove
the lower lift links.
3.
Contact between tractor lift links and cutter parts
can cause damage, especially when turning.
Cutting Height Adjustment
NOTICE
■
Avoid ground contact with blades. Striking
ground with blades produces one of the most damaging shock loads a cutter can encounter. If this
occurs repeatedly, the cutter, driveline, and gearboxes will be damaged.
On pull-type or semi-mounted units with
optional hydraulic cutting height adjustment, use a
single-acting cylinder with a maximum extended
length of 28-1/4" (718 mm) from attaching point
center to center.
Cutting height range is from 2" to 15". A hydraulic cylinder or ratchet jack is available for cutting height adjustment.
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. The cutting height (blade edge) is approximately 1" above the bottom of the side skid.

Be sure operator is familiar with all controls and can
stop tractor and cutter quickly in an emergency. The
operator should give complete, undivided attention to
operating tractor and cutter.
CUTTER OPERATION
When beginning operation of the cutter, make sure that
all persons are in a safe location.
Power for operating the cutter is supplied by the tractor
PTO. Operate PTO at 540 (1000 RPM for "Q" models).
Know how to stop the tractor and cutter quickly in an
emergency.
Engage PTO at a low engine, rpm to minimize stress
on the drive system and gearbox.
With PTO engaged, raise PTO speed to 540 or 1000
RPM depending on model and maintain throughout
cutting operation.
Gearbox protection is provided by a slip clutch with
replacement fiber disc. The slip clutch is designed to
slip when excessive torsional loads occur.
2.
Loosen the jam nut on the adjustable link (turn
buckle).
3.
Lengthening the link will raise the wing, shortening
the link will lower the wing. The rear edge of the
wing should be parallel to the ground.
4.
Make sure jam nuts are tightened once wing is
leveled.
When using the cutter to shred, the rear of the cutter
deck should be approximately 1/2" to 1" lower than the
front.
NOTE:

TRACTOR OPERATION
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.
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.
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 cut at a low speed; thin,
medium-height material can be cut at a faster ground
speed.
Always operate tractor PTO at proper RPM (540 or
1000 depending on model) to maintain blade speed
and to produce a clean cut.
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 or 1000 RPM.
The lower ground speed will permit grass to rebound
partially.
Mowing Tips
Use care when operating around tree limbs and other
low objects. Avoid being knocked off tractor and being
injured.
The cutter is operated with tractor controls. Engage the
PTO at a low rpm to prevent excessive loads on the

Pin Storage
Position
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.
Maximum recommended ground speed for cutting or
shredding is 6 miles per hour. Adjust tractor ground
speed by using higher or lower gears to provide a clean
cut without lugging tractor engine.
Tall material should be cut twice. Cut material higher
the first pass. Cut at desired height at 90 degrees the
second pass.
Remember, sharp blades produce cleaner cuts and
use less power.
Before entering an area, analyze it to determine the
best procedure. Consider the height and type of material to be cut and the terrain type (hilly, level or rough,
etc.).
Always attach safety chain to tractor drawbar
when transporting unit.
Never exceed 20 mph (32.2 km/h) during trans-
port.
Never allow riders on power unit or attachment.
Do not operate PTO during transport.
Do not operate or transport on steep slopes.
Do not operate or transport equipment while
under the influence of alcohol or drugs.
Always comply with all state and local lighting
and marking requirements.
Lock-Up
Always transport with wings and center frame in the
raised, locked position.
Wing Lock-Up
Shredding
The cutter may be used to shred various crops including green manure, straw, stubble, asparagus residue,
corn stalks and similar crops in preparation for tilling. It
may also be used to shred pruning in orchards, groves
and vineyards.
Each shredding operation may require a different setup. Start with front edge of cutter high. Adjust up or
down as necessary with attitude rod. Experiment until
you obtain the results you want.
When shredding attitude is set, check that the distance
from the bottom rear edge of the wing to the ground
matches the bottom edge of the rear center section to
the ground. With the cutting height and attitude established, adjust the driveline carrier bearing in the Hframe to ensure the front driveline is parallel to the
ground.
TRANSPORTING
Always raise unit and install transport locks
before transporting. Leak down or failure of
mechanical or hydraulic system can cause equipment to drop.

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 safety information in this manual.
Keep all persons away from operator control
area while performing adjustments, service, or
maintenance.
Before working underneath, disconnect driveline from tractor, lower wings to the ground, raise
cutter, and engage transport lock-up in the locked
position. Attach parking jack and lower to the
ground. Securely block all four corners of the center section and each wing with jackstands. Blocking up prevents the cutter from dropping due to
hydraulic leak down, hydraulic system failure, or
mechanical component failure.
BLOCKING METHOD
To minimize the potential hazards of working underneath the cutter, follow these procedures:
Before performing any service or maintenance,
lower equipment to ground or block securely, turn
off engine, remove key, and 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 movement of control levers
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.
Service and maintenance work not covered in
OWNER SERVICE must be done by a qualified
dealership. Special skills, tools, and safety procedures may be required. Failure to follow these
instructions can result in serious injury or death.
Before servicing, adjusting, repairing or unplugging, stop tractor engine, place all controls in neutral, set park brake, remove ignition key, and wait
for all moving parts to stop.
Never perform service or maintenance with
engine running.
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 entanglement 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.
Do not position jackstands under wheels, axles, or
wheel supports. Components can rotate and cause cutter to fall.
1.
Jackstands with a load rating of 1000 lbs. or more
are the only approved blocking device for this
cutter. Install jackstands (shown by
under the cutter before working underneath unit.
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 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.

SERVICE TIRES SAFELY
Used Aircraft Tires (Figure 23)
Do not attempt to mount a tire unless you have the
proper equipment and experience to perform the job.
Always maintain the correct tire pressure. Do not inflate
tires above the recommended pressure. Never weld or
heat a wheel and tire assembly. The heat can cause an
increase in air pressure and result in a tire explosion.
Welding can structurally weaken or deform the wheel.
When inflating tires, use a clip-on chuck and an extension hose long enough to allow you to stand to the side
— not in front of or over the tire assembly. Use a safety
cage if available.
Check wheels for low pressure, cuts, bubbles, damaged rims, or missing lug bolts and nuts.
Never remove split rim assembly hardware (A) with the
tire inflated.
2.
Trap cups in vise and apply pressure. Be sure
journal cross is started into bearings and continue
pressure with vise, squeezing in as far as possible.
Tapping the yoke will help.
3.
Seat cups by placing a drift or socket (slightly
smaller than the cup) on cup and rap with a
hammer. Install snap ring and repeat on opposite
cup.
4.
Repeat Step 1 and Step 2 to install remaining cups
in remaining yoke.
5.
Move both yokes in all directions to check for free
movement. If movement is restricted, rap on yokes
sharply with a hammer to relieve any tension.
Repeat until both yokes move in all directions
without restriction.

DEALER SET-UP INSTRUCTIONS
Assembly of this cutter is the responsibility of the
WOODS dealer. It should be delivered to the owner
completely assembled, lubricated and adjusted for normal cutting conditions.
The cutter is shipped partially assembled. Assembly
will be easier if components are aligned and loosely
assembled before tightening hardware. Recommended
torque values for hardware are located on page 72.
Select a suitable working area. A smooth hard surface,
such as concrete, will make assembly much quicker.
Open parts boxes and lay out parts and hardware to
make location easy. Refer to illustrations, accompanying text, parts lists and exploded view drawings.
Complete the check list on page 44 when assembly is
complete and cutter is delivered to the customer.
Before working underneath, carefully read Operator’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 hydraulic leak down, hydraulic system failures, or
mechanical component failures.
3.
Secure hose to center section using hose clamps
(12), carriage bolts (59) and lock nuts (32). Clamps
are used at the both front and at the rear of the
deck.
4.
Do not tighten clamps at this time. Hoses lengths
may need to be adjusted once assembly is
complete.

. Hoses Clamped to Deck, Rear Right Side
Install Attitude Rods
Do not disconnect hydraulic lines until machine
is securely blocked or placed in lowest position
and system pressure is released by operating
valve levers.
Always wear relatively tight and belted clothing
to avoid entanglement 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.

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).
