SAFETY RULES
ATTENTION! BECOME ALERT! YOUR SAFETY IS INVOLVED!
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 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.
TBW Safety Rules (Rev. 12/5/2008)
PREPARATION
Check that all hardware is properly installed.
Always tighten to torque chart specifications
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.
Route hydraulic 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 hose immediately.
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.
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.
When attaching a pull-type unit to the tractor
drawbar, always use a high-strength drawbar pin.
The drawbar pin must have a device that will lock it
into position. Secure safety chain to attachment
and tractor.
Make sure attachment is properly secured,
adjusted, and in good operating condition.
Make sure spring-activated locking pin or collar
slides freely and is seated firmly in tractor PTO
spline groove.
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.

(Safety Rules continued from previous page)
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 drivelines, repair and replace bearings before putting
equipment into service.
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.
Inspect chain shielding before each use.
Replace if damaged.
Remove accumulated debris from this equipment, power unit, and engine to avoid fire hazard.
Make sure all safety decals are installed.
Replace if damaged. (See Safety Decals section for
location.)
Make sure shields and guards are properly
installed and in good condition. Replace if damaged.
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.
Inspect and clear area of stones, branches, or
other hard objects that might be thrown, causing
injury or damage.
Never attach the mower release rope to the
operator, the operator's clothing, or the tractor
seat.
Make test turns, both left and right. Check that
both the hydraulic hose and the mower transport
lock release rope do not become taut or caught on
any parts of the tractor or mower.
TRANSPORTATION
The maximum transport speed for towed and
semi-mounted machines is 20 mph (32 km/h).
Regardless of the maximum speed capability of the
towing tractor, do not exceed the implement’s max-
imum transport speed. Doing so could result in:
• Loss of control of the implement and tractor
• Reduced or no ability to stop during braking
• Implement tire failure
• Damage to the implement or its components.
Use additional caution and reduce speed when
under adverse surface conditions, turning, or on
inclines.
Never tow this implement with a motor vehicle.
Always raise unit and install transport locks
before transporting. Leak down or failure of
mechanical or hydraulic system can cause equipment to drop.
Always comply with all state and local lighting
and marking requirements.
Never allow riders on power unit or attachment.
Do not operate PTO during transport.
Do not operate or transport equipment while
under the influence of alcohol or drugs.
OPERATION
Only engage power when equipment is at
ground operating level. Always disengage power
when equipment is raised off the ground.
Do not allow bystanders in the area when operating, attaching, removing, assembling, or servicing equipment.
Never walk, stand, or place yourself or others
under a raised wing or in the path of a lowering
wing. Hydraulic system leak-down, hydraulic system failures, mechanical failures, or movement of
control levers can cause wings to drop unexpectedly and cause severe injury or death.
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 anyone comes within 300 feet (92 m).
• This shielding is designed to reduce the risk
of thrown objects. The mower deck and protective devices cannot prevent all objects from
escaping the blade enclosure in every mowing
condition.
and escape, traveling as much as 300 feet (92 m).
Never direct discharge toward people, animals,
or property.
It is possible for objects to ricochet

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.
Operate tractor PTO at 540 RPM. Do not exceed.
Connect PTO driveline directly to power unit
PTO shaft. Never use adapter sleeves or adapter
shafts. Adapters can cause driveline failures due to
incorrect spline or incorrect operating length and
can result in personal injury or death.
Do not operate mowers on terrain that raises
mowers beyond 25 degrees. Exceeding this design
limit will result in U-joint “knocking noise” and
potential driveline failure and could cause driveline
to pull apart.
Look down and to the rear and make sure area
is clear before operating in reverse.
Do not operate or transport on steep slopes.
Do not stop, start, or change directions sud-
denly on slopes.
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 implement immediately
upon striking an obstruction. Dismount power unit,
using proper procedure. Inspect and repair any
damage before resuming operation.
MAINTENANCE
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,
and unfasten seat belt.
Before performing any service or maintenance,

The operator is responsible for the safe operation of
the mower. The operator must be properly trained.
Operators should be familiar with the mower, the tractor, and all safety practices before starting operation.
Read the safety rules and safety decals on page 5
through page 12.
This mower is designed for lawn and grass mowing. It
is not designed for rough conditions or heavy weed
mowing. It is equipped with suction type blades for best
results in lawn mowing.
Recommended mowing speed for most conditions is
from 2 to 5 mph. Always operate power unit PTO at
540 rpm.
This section provides information for attaching the
mower to the tractor and preparing it for field operation.
Review this data prior to tractor hook-up and operation.
Lower mower to the ground when not in use.
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 anyone comes within 300 feet (92 m).
• This shielding is designed to reduce the risk
of thrown objects. The mower deck and protective devices cannot prevent all objects from
escaping the blade enclosure in every mowing

Leveling Mower
NOTE: To ensure satisfactory mower performance, the
trailer frame and decks must be leveled before operating the mower. During normal operation, the mower
should be leveled twice each season. The mower must
be leveled each time a tractor with a different drawbar
height is used.
Follow this procedure to level the mower for operation:
1. Park the tractor and mower on a flat level surface
with the decks in mowing position.
Attaching Hydraulic Hoses
1. Inspect hydraulic hoses to ensure they are in good
condition.
2. Clean hydraulic quick coupler before connecting
them to the tractor hydraulic ports.
3. Attach hoses to tractor hydraulic ports. Do not
allow hose slack to drag on the ground or become
caught on tractor 3-point arms or other tractor
components.
Interference Check
1. Be sure that the tractor 3-point lift arms do not
interfere with hydraulic hoses, driveline or mower
frame.
2. Check for straight ahead operation and full turning
angles. If there is any interference, remove the 3point arms.
NOTE: Contact between 3-point arms and mower
can cause damage, especially when turning.
CV Driveline Turning Limits
2. Inflate all tires to the recommended pressure: 20
psi for trailer tires.
3. Level the trailer frame by adjusting the hitch.
4. Remove the hitch clevis from the trailer frame and
pin to the tractor drawbar.
5. Use the parking jack to adjust the trailer frame to
the level position. Align the nearest hitch
adjustment hole in the hitch clevis with a hole in the
trailer frame.
6. Tighten the hardware to specifications in the Bolt
Torque Chart on page 50. Readjust the level of the
frame each time the drawbar height changes.
7. Attach the driveline to the tractor.
CUTTING HEIGHT ADJUSTMENT
Keep all persons away from operator control
area while performing adjustments, service, or
maintenance.
NOTICE
■ Do not exceed turning angle of 80 degrees at
the head of the Constant Velocity (CV) driveline or
damage will occur.
Check for excessive turn angle:
1. Disconnect the driveline from the tractor.

When transporting the mower, raise the wings and the
rear deck until all three transport locks engage automatically.
To lower the wings and the rear deck:
1. Slightly raise the wings and rear deck to take
pressure off the locking mechanisms.
2. Pull the transport lock release rope to disengage
the locks. Lower the wings and rear deck and
release the rope.
MAN0765 (12/5/2008)
Power for operating the mower is supplied from the
tractor PTO. Refer to your tractor manual for instructions on engaging and disengaging the PTO.
Operate PTO at 540 rpm. Know how to stop tractor and
mower quickly in case of an emergency.
If the mower becomes plugged causing the belt to slip
for over two seconds, follow these steps:
1. Raise mower just enough to clear accumulated
material.
2. Continue running at least two minutes, allowing
pulleys to cool.
To reduce the risk of thrown objects, do not raise the
mower higher than necessary
OPERATING
Do not operate mowers on terrain that raises
mowers beyond 25 degrees. Exceeding this design
limit will result in U-joint “knocking noise” and
potential driveline failure and could cause driveline
to pull apart.
When engaging the PTO, engine rpm should always be
low. Once engaged and ready for mowing, increase

PTO speed to 540 rpm and maintain speed throughout

WARNING
WARNING
the cutting operation.
Remember, sharp blades produce cleaner cuts and
require less power.
Mower vibration tends to loosen bolts. All hardware
should be checked regularly to maintain proper torque.
Each time the mower is used, check all hardware to be
sure it is secure. Recommended torque values can be
found on page 50.
The condition of the terrain will determine cutting
results. For best results, mower blades should be kept
sharp at all times and the platform as level as possible.
When mower blades show excessive wear, they should
be replaced.
Operating Technique
Stop power unit and implement immediately
upon striking an obstruction. Dismount power unit,
using proper procedure. Inspect and repair any
damage before resuming operation.
Proper ground speed will depend upon the terrain, the
height, type, and density of material to be cut.
Normally, ground speed will range from two to five
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.
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 partially rebound.
In general, lower cutting heights give a more even cut
with less tendency to leave 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 recommendations for the suitable cutting height in
your area.
Operating Tips
Analyze area to be cut to determine the best procedure. Consider height and type of grass and terrain
type: hilly, level, or rough.
Uneven Terrain
Do not operate or transport on steep slopes.
Do not stop, start, or change directions sud-
denly on slopes.
Use extreme care and reduce ground speed on
slopes and rough terrain.
Watch for hidden hazards on the terrain during
operation.
In extremely uneven terrain, rear wheel weights, front
tractor weights and/or front tire ballast should be used
to improve stability.
Pass diagonally through sharp dips and avoid sharp
drops to prevent “hanging up” the tractor and the
mower. Practice will improve your skills in maneuvering
rough terrain.
Avoid sudden starts and stops when traveling up or
down hill.
Always mow down slopes, never up or across the face.
Avoid operating on steep slopes.
Slow down on sharp turns and slopes to prevent tipping and losing control.
REMOVING MOWER FROM TRACTOR
1. Park the unit on a level, hard surface with the
wings and rear deck fully lowered to the ground.
2. Block the wheels to keep the mower from rolling
when unhitched from tractor.
3. Attach the jack to the side of the tongue and adjust
the height to take the weight off the tractor hitch.
4. Disconnect the PTO shaft and the hydraulic hose,
untie the mower transport lock release rope from
the tractor, and remove the hitch pin.
5. Store the PTO shaft end and the hydraulic hose
couplings off the ground and keep them clean.
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.

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.
LUBRICATION INFORMATION
Do not let excess grease collect on or around parts,
particularly when operating in sandy areas.
See Figure 2 and Figure 3 for lubrication points and frequency or lubrication based on normal operating conditions. Sever or unusual operating conditions may
require more frequent lubrication.
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. One good pump of most
guns is sufficient when the lubrication schedule is followed.
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.
Keep all persons away from operator control
area while performing adjustments, service, or
maintenance.
Do not disconnect hydraulic lines until engine is
stopped, power unit is properly secured, equipment and all components are lowered to the
ground, and system pressure is released by operating all valve control levers.
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,
and unfasten seat belt.
Gearbox Lubrication
Use SAE 90W gear lube in gearboxes. Fill to plug on
side of gearbox. Check gearbox daily for evidence of
leakage, and contact your dealer if leakage occurs.
Driveline Lubrication
Lubricate the driveshaft slip joints every eight operating hours. Failure to maintain proper lubrication could
result in damage to U-joints, gearbox and drivelines.
1. Lower mower decks to the ground.
2. Disconnect drivelines from decks.
3. Separate driveline half.
4. Apply grease all around and along inner shaft.
5. Reassembly driveline halves and connect to
gearboxes.
6. Raise and lower decks several time to distribute
grease along drivelines.

ASSEMBLY INSTRUCTIONS
WARNING
CAUTION
WARNING
DANGER
DEALER SET-UP INSTRUCTIONS
The mower is shipped mostly assembled but requires
dealer set-up. The Woods dealer should deliver the
mower to the owner completely assembled, lubricated,
and adjusted for normal conditions.
Recommended torque values for hardware are located
on page 50.
Complete check lists on page 33 when assembly is
complete.
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.
Make sure spring-activated locking pin or collar
slides freely and is seated firmly in tractor PTO
spline groove.
4. Remove parking jack from storage position on left
wing.
5. Attach parking jack to trailer tongue frame.
6. Remove wood block from hitch.
Attach Hydraulic Hoses
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.
Attach the mower hydraulic hose to the tractor port.
Hydraulic quick coupler is not supplied.
NOTE: The mower hydraulic system should have been
filled at the factory. Always assume it is empty. Fully
purge air and fill the hydraulic system by raising and
lowering wings several times while hooked to a tractor
hydraulic supply. Keep all personnel away while raising
and lowering.
OPTIONAL EQUIPMENT
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.
Remove Shipping Straps
1. Remove CV drive from rear wing frame.
2. Attach drive to splitter gearbox. Position CV joint
towards the tractor. See page 36 for orientation.
3. Remove shipping straps from front and rear of right
and left wing decks.
