TRAINING
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!
Safety instructions are important! Read all
attachment and power unit manuals; follow all
safety rules and safety decal information. (Replacement 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.
If you do not understand any part of this manual
and need assistance, see your dealer.
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 attachments, and all controls. Do not allow anyone to
operate this equipment without proper instructions.
Keep hands and body away from pressurized
lines. Use paper or cardboard, not hands or other
body parts to check for leaks. Wear safety goggles.
Hydraulic fluid under pressure can easily penetrate
skin and will cause serious injury or death.
Make sure that all operating and service personnel know that if hydraulic fluid penetrates skin, it
must be surgically removed as soon as possible by
a doctor familiar with this form of injury or gangrene, serious injury, or death will result. CONTACT A PHYSICIAN IMMEDIATELY IF FLUID
ENTERS SKIN OR EYES. DO NOT DELAY.
Never allow children or untrained persons to
operate equipment.
Snowblower_SRs (04/13/2011)
PREPARATION
Check that all hardware is properly installed.

NOTICE
■ Be sure to complete the Pre-Operation Check
List on page 15 prior to operating this Snowblower.
PRINCIPAL COMPONENTS
The snowblower has three main operating components. A 15" diameter auger dislodges the snow and
carries it to a central fan. The snow is then discharged
by the fan and directed away from the blower through a
controllable spout.
10 Operation
MAN0869 (04/13/2011)
Page 11
The snowblower is mounted on a tractor 3-point hitch
and driven by the tractor PTO. A centrally located gearbox directs power to the fan and auger.
4. Attach tractor center link to upper hitch point of
snowblower. Adjust length of center link until the
top edge of the frame ends are parallel to ground.
TRACTOR REQUIREMENTS
3-Point Hitch
The compact snowblower (C series) requires the tractor to be equipped with a Category 1 or 2 three-point
hitch. The sub-compact (S series) snowblower requires
the tractor to be equipped with a limited Category 1 or
Category 1 three-point hitch.
Hydraulic Circuit
Either closed-center or open-center systems can be
used for the optional hydraulic spout control.
Tire Configuration
For best results, the tractor wheels should be set narrower than the cutting width of the snowblower. Wider
wheel settings will cause snow to be pulled under the
tractor and may require additional passes.
PTO Shaft
The tractor must be configured to accept a 1-3/8" 6spline 540 RPM system and must meet horsepower
specifications. See specifications, page 4.
Tractor Stability
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 resulting 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.
5. Adjust tractor lower 3-point arm anti-sway devices
to prevent snowblower from swinging side to side
during transport.
6. Attach front PTO driveline from snowblower to
tractor. Slide front section of PTO driveline into
back section. Slide PTO shaft onto rear of tractor.
NOTICE
■ If the PTO driveline is too long, severe driveline
and gearbox damage is possible when hooking up
the PTO driveline from the rotary snowblower to
the tractor. The front PTO driveline is long enough
to fit a variety of tractors. It is possible that the
front PTO driveline will need to be cut. There will be
NO benefit by cutting only one telescoping section.
Both sections of the driveline must be cut. DO NOT
FORCE THE PTO TO FIT.
■ If attaching with quick hitch, the distance
between the tractor PTO and gearbox input shaft
will increase. Please follow the steps as you would
for a 3-point hitch to insure proper engagement.
■ When attaching snow blower to multiple trac-
tors consider the drive length needed for each tractor and whether the drive line will work in all
combinations.
■ WARRANTY IS VOID IF THE PTO DRIVELINE IS
TOO LONG, resulting in gearbox, PTO, yoke or
cross bearing damage.
NOTE: The PTO driveline, when attached to the
tractor and gearbox, must not extend so there is
less than 10-3/4” (bilobe) or 4-1/2" (trilobe) of overlap within the PTO driveline.
Figure 1. Tractor Stability (Typical)
ATTACHING SNOWBLOWER TO TRACTOR
1. Move the tractor into position in front of the snow-
blower. Move back slowly and carefully, not allowing anyone to be between the tractor and the
snowblower.
2. Turn off tractor engine.
3. Attach two lower arms of 3-point hitch with the two
hitch-pin assemblies.
(Rev. 9/8/2011)
MAN0869 (04/13/2011)
DRIVELINE ATTACHMENT
Attach snowblower to tractor 3-point hitch (or quick
hitch if available). Do not attach driveline the first time
you attach the snow blower to the tractor. Raise and
lower snowblower to determine maximum and minimum distance between tractor PTO shaft and gearbox
input shaft. If distance is too large, driveline will be too
short for proper engagement. If distance is too small,
driveline may bottom out in operation and damage
snowblower or tractor.
If driveline is too short, please call your Woods dealer
for a longer driveline.
If driveline is too long, please follow instructions for
shortening driveline.

help, your dealer has trained service technicians available. For your protection, read and follow all safety
information in this manual.
Safety instructions are important! Read all
attachment and power unit manuals; follow all
safety rules and safety decal information. (Replacement 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.
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 pressure, set parking brake, stop engine, remove key,

disconnect driveline from tractor PTO.
Keep all persons away from operator control
area while performing adjustments, service, or
maintenance.
Make sure shields and guards are properly
installed and in good condition. Replace if damaged.
Make sure attachment is properly secured,
adjusted, and in good operating condition.
Do not modify or alter or permit anyone else to
modify or alter the equipment or any of its components in any way.
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.
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.
SERVICE AND MAINTENANCE
INTERVALS
By following a careful service and maintenance program, you will prolong the life of your machine.
The service intervals recommended are based on normal operating conditions. Severe or unusual conditions
may require more frequent service.
Lubrication Information
1. Do not let excess grease collect on or around
parts, particularly when operating in sandy areas.
2. Use a hand-held grease gun for all greasing.
3. 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.
4. If grease fitting will not take grease, remove and
clean thoroughly. Also clean lubricant passage
way. Replace fitting if necessary.
5. Two good pumps of most grease guns is sufficient
when the lubrication schedule is followed.
Driveline Lubrication
1. Lubricate the driveline slip joint every 8 hours of
operation. Failure to maintain proper lubrication
could result in damage to u-joints, gearbox, and
driveline.
2. Lower snow blower to ground, disconnect driveline
from tractor PTO shaft, and slide halves apart. Do
not disconnect the halves from each other.
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.

grease fitting.
5. Apply one pump of grease to each of the plastic
driveline shield bearings.
6. On the shear pin driveline, lubricate the shear yoke
with grease to prevent galling.
7. Periodically check the yokes on the front PTO.
Make sure the bolt and nut are tight and the yoke
is not moving on the gearbox shaft.
Driveline Shear Bolt Replacement
PTO drivelines are equipped with shear bolts to protect
against overloads.
■ Always use approved shear bolt as replace-
ment part. Using a hardened bolt or shear pin may
result in damage to driveline or gearbox.
■ Before proceeding, read and follow all safety
rules.
1. Disconnect driveline from tractor PTO shaft.
2. Remove gearbox shield by removing thumb
screws.
3. Remove damaged bolt from yoke on input shaft of
snow blower gearbox.
4. Rotate driveline to align holes in yoke and shaft.
Install new shear bolt and secure with lock nut.
Tighten to torque specification given on Torque
Chart.
5. Reinstall gearbox shield and reconnect driveline to
tractor PTO shaft.
Figure 8. Drive Chain Lubrication
1. Apply grease to drive sprocket grease zerk (See
Figure 8).
2. Apply grease or oil to the drive chain regularly,
especially after using (See Figure 8).
NOTICE
■ Replacement chain should be only high quality
original equipment chain for longer life.
1. Remove jackshaft shield (17) by removing thumb
screws (32).
2. Loosen cap screw and nut on idler sprocket.
3. Move idler sprocket (33) to obtain 1/4 inch sag
along bottom span of chain (46).
4. Re-tighten idler sprocket and reinstall jackshaft
shield.
Chain Maintenance
The auger chain should be inspected every 25 hours.
New chain has a tendency to stretch, so it is necessary
to check the chain tension to prevent flopping around,
thus causing potential problems. Chain tension is preset at the factory. If chain becomes excessively loose,
it may be necessary to readjust the idler sprocket, Figure 9.

Gearbox
The gearbox is almost maintenance-free, but should be
checked quarterly to be sure that the oil level is maintained at half full. A high quality gear oil with a viscosity
index of 80W or 90W and an API service rating of GL-4
or -5 is recommended for use in the gearbox. Oil
should be changed after the first 30 hours or 30 days of
operating. Then, normal change should be adequate.
In the case of seasonal usage, it is best to change the
oil at the end of the season to remove moisture and
corrosive contaminants.
■ Before proceeding, read and follow all safety
rules.
To change the oil, follow this procedure, Figure 12:
1. Suction out oil in gearbox through side plug using a
hand pump.
NOTE: It is best to drain the oil when the gearbox
is warm to remove the most contaminants.
