SAFETY RULES
ATTENTION! BECOME ALERT! YOUR SAFETY IS INVOLVED!
TACT A PHYSICIAN IMMEDIATELY IF FLUID
ENTERS SKIN OR EYES. DO NOT DELAY.
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.
ꢀ Never allow children or untrained persons to
operate equipment.
In addition to the design and configuration of
equipment, hazard control and accident preven-
tion are dependent upon the awareness, con-
cern, judgement, and proper training of
personnel involved in the operation, transport,
maintenance, and storage of equipment.
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 oper-
ation 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.
It has been said, “The best safety device is an
informed, careful operator.” We ask you to be
that kind of operator.
INSTALLATION
ꢀ Hydraulics must be connected as instructed in
this manual. Do not substitute parts, modify, or
connect in any other way.
ꢀ 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.
TRAINING
ꢀ 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
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.
ꢀ After connecting hoses, check that all control
lever positions function as instructed in the Opera-
tor's Manual. Do not put into service until control
lever and equipment movements are correct.
ꢀ If you do not understand any part of this manual
and need assistance, see your dealer.
ꢀ Set tractor hydraulic relief valve at 2500 psi (170
bars) (17,000 kPa) to prevent injury and equipment
damage due to hydraulic system failure.
ꢀ Know your controls and how to stop engine and
attachment quickly in an emergency.
ꢀ Your dealer can supply original equipment
hydraulic accessories and repair parts. Substitute
parts may not meet original equipment specifica-
tions and may be dangerous.
ꢀ
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.
ꢀ 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.
ꢀ 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 attachment is properly secured,
adjusted, and in good operating condition.
ꢀ Make sure that all operating and service person-
nel 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 gan-
grene, serious injury, or death will result. CON-
ꢀ Make sure spring-activated locking pin or collar
slides freely and is seated firmly in tractor PTO
spline groove.

SAFETY RULES
ATTENTION! BECOME ALERT! YOUR SAFETY IS INVOLVED!
(Safety Rules continued from previous page)
ꢀ Always attach safety chain to tractor drawbar
when transporting unit.
ꢀ 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.
ꢀ 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.
ꢀ 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.
ꢀ Do not operate or transport on steep slopes.
ꢀ Do not operate or transport equipment while
under the influence of alcohol or drugs.
ꢀ 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:
ꢀ 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.
• Loss of control of the implement and tractor
• Reduced or no ability to stop during braking
• Implement tire failure
ꢀ Remove accumulated debris from this equip-
ment, power unit, and engine to avoid fire hazard.
• Damage to the implement or its components.
ꢀ Use additional caution and reduce speed when
under adverse surface conditions, turning, or on
inclines.
ꢀ Make sure all safety decals are installed.
Replace if damaged. (See Safety Decals section for
location.)
ꢀ Never tow this implement with a motor vehicle.
ꢀ
Make sure shields and guards are properly
installed and in good condition. Replace if damaged.
OPERATION
ꢀ Do not put this equipment into service unless all
side skids are properly installed and in good condi-
tion. Replace if damaged.
ꢀ Do not allow bystanders in the area when oper-
ating, attaching, removing, assembling, or servic-
ing equipment.
ꢀ A minimum 20% 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, front wheel weights, ballast in tires or front
tractor weights. Weigh the tractor and equipment.
Do not estimate.
ꢀ 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 sys-
tem failures, mechanical failures, or movement of
control levers can cause wings to drop unexpect-
edly and cause severe injury or death.
ꢀ Full chain or rubber shielding must be installed
when operating in populated areas or other areas
where thrown objects could injure people or dam-
age property.
ꢀ Inspect and clear area of stones, branches, or
other hard objects that might be thrown, causing
injury or damage.
• If this machine is not equipped with full chain
or rubber 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 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).
TRANSPORTATION
ꢀ 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.
ꢀ Always raise unit and install transport locks
before transporting. Leak down or failure of
mechanical or hydraulic system can cause equip-
ment to drop.
ꢀ Never direct discharge toward people, animals,
or property.

length of 28-1/4" (718 mm) from attaching point
center to center.
ꢀ Operate only in daylight or good artificial light.
MAINTENANCE
ꢀ Keep hands, feet, hair, and clothing away from
equipment while engine is running. Stay clear of all
moving parts.
ꢀ Before servicing, adjusting, repairing or unplug-
ging, stop tractor engine, place all controls in neu-
tral, set park brake, remove ignition key, and wait
for all moving parts to stop.
ꢀ Always comply with all state and local lighting
and marking requirements.
ꢀ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 pres-
sure, set parking brake, stop engine, remove key,
and unfasten seat belt.
ꢀ Never allow riders on power unit or attachment.
ꢀ 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.
ꢀ 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.
ꢀ
Before working underneath, disconnect driveline
from tractor, lower wings to ground, raise cutter,
and pin transport bar in raised position. Attach park-
ing jack and lower to ground. Securely block all four
corners of center section and each wing with jack-
stands. Blocking up prevents the cutter from drop-
ping due to hydraulic leak down, hydraulic system
failure, or mechanical component failure.
ꢀ Operate tractor PTO at 540 RPM (1000 RPM on Q
Series cutters). Do not exceed.
ꢀ Raise or lower wings slowly to prevent personal
injury or damage to cutter.
ꢀ Do not modify or alter or permit anyone else to
modify or alter the equipment or any of its compo-
nents in any way.
ꢀ 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.
ꢀ Your dealer can supply original equipment
hydraulic accessories and repair parts. Substitute
parts may not meet original equipment specifica-
tions and may be dangerous.
ꢀ Look down and to the rear and make sure area
is clear before operating in reverse.
ꢀTo prevent contamination during maintenance
and storage, clean and then cover hose ends, fit-
tings, and hydraulic ports with tape.
ꢀ Do not operate or transport on steep slopes.
ꢀ Do not stop, start, or change directions sud-
denly on slopes.
ꢀ Do not allow bystanders in the area when oper-
ating, attaching, removing, assembling, or servic-
ing equipment.
ꢀ 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.
ꢀ 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.
ꢀ Continuous operation while the clutch is slip-
ping could cause heat build-up resulting in fire.
Adjust slip clutch pressure by tightening springs to
the dimension shown in the “Owner Service” sec-
tion. If clutch is set to minimum spring length,
replace the friction disks as shown.
ꢀ On pull-type or semi-mounted units with
optional hydraulic cutting height adjustment, use a
single-acting cylinder with a maximum extended

depends on it being operated within the limitations as
explained in this manual. Be familiar with and follow all
safety rules in the manual, on the cutter and on the
tractor.
CONNECTING CUTTER TO TRACTOR
The safe operation of this cutter is the responsibility of
the operator, who must be properly trained. The opera-
tor should be familiar with the equipment and all safety
practices before starting operation. Read the safety
information on page 7 through page 13.
NOTICE
■
For tractors with a 1-3/8" diameter PTO shaft,
the horizontal distance from the end of the tractor
PTO shaft to the center of drawbar pin should be
14" for 540 rpm cutter and 16" for the 1000 rpm cut-
ters. This will minimize joint knock and damage to
drive components.
Recommended tractor ground speed for most condi-
tions is from 1 to 6 mph.
Always operate tractor PTO at 540 rpm on BW180HD,
BW180HB
and
BW126HB;

boxes will be damaged.
Cutting height range is from 1" to 15". A hydraulic cylin-
der or ratchet jack is available for cutting height adjust-
ment.
4. Attach the hydraulic hose to the tractor.
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 approxi-
mately 1" above the bottom of the side skid.
5. From the operator position, start tractor and raise
and lower deck several times to purge trapped air
from the hydraulic cylinder.
Interference Check
1. Be sure that tractor 3-point lift links do not interfere
with hydraulic hoses, cutter driveline, or cutter
frame.
Cutting Height (Normal Mowing) - Center Section
1. Position the cutter on a hard level surface and
select an approximate cutting height, Example 6".
2. Check for straight-ahead operation and at full
turning angles. If there is any interference, remove
the lower lift links.
2. Raise wings and lock them in the UP position.
3. Use any of the optional cutting height mechanisms
to raise or lower the center section to obtain a
distance of 5" from bottom edge of skid shoe to the

5. Repeat the process until the driveline can be
connected. The point at which the driveline can be
connected is the maximum turn that should be
made.
NOTE: Equal Angle Drive Only: With the cutting height
established, adjust the driveline carrier bearing in the
H-frame to ensure the front driveline is parallel to the
ground with cutter in cutting position.
Cutting Height Adjustment
TRACTOR OPERATION
ꢀ 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.
Use care when operating around tree limbs and other
low objects. Avoid being knocked off tractor and being
injured.
Only use a tractor with a Roll Over Protection Structure
(ROPS) and seat belt. Securely fasten seat belt.
NOTICE
The cutter is operated with tractor controls. Engage the
PTO at a low rpm to prevent excessive loads on the
cutter drive system. Increase throttle to recommended
PTO operating RPM.
■
Avoid ground contact with blades. Striking
ground with blades produces one of the most dam-
aging shock loads a cutter can encounter. If this

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.
ꢀ Do not operate or transport on steep slopes.
ꢀ Do not stop, start, or change directions sud-
denly on slopes.
CUTTER OPERATION
When beginning operation of the cutter, make sure that
all persons are in a safe location.
ꢀ Use extreme care and reduce ground speed on
slopes and rough terrain.
Power for operating the cutter is supplied by the tractor
PTO. Operate PTO at 540 (1000 RPM for "Q" models).
ꢀ Watch for hidden hazards on the terrain during
operation.
Know how to stop the tractor and cutter quickly in an
emergency.
CAUTION
Engage PTO at a low engine, rpm to minimize stress
on the drive system and gearbox.
ꢀ Stop power unit and equipment immediately
upon striking an obstruction. Turn off engine,
remove key, inspect, and repair any damage before
resuming operation.
With PTO engaged, raise PTO speed to 540 or 1000
RPM depending on model and maintain throughout
cutting 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.
Gearbox protection is provided by a slip clutch with
replacement fiber disc. The slip clutch is designed to
slip when excessive torsional loads occur.
Tall material should be cut twice. Cut material higher
the first pass. Cut at desired height at 90 degrees the
second pass.
Move slowly into material. Adjust tractor ground speed
to provide a clean cut without lugging the tractor
engine.
Remember, sharp blades produce cleaner cuts and
use less power.
Use a slow ground speed for better shredding.
Proper ground speed will depend on the terrain and the
material’s height, type, and density.
Before entering an area, analyze it to determine the
best procedure. Consider the height and type of mate-
rial to be cut and the terrain type (hilly, level or rough,
etc.).
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.
Shredding
Always operate tractor PTO at proper RPM (540 or
1000 depending on model) to maintain blade speed
and to produce a clean cut.
The cutter may be used to shred various crops includ-
ing 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.
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.
Each shredding operation may require a different set-
up. 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 estab-
lished, adjust the driveline carrier bearing in the H-
frame to ensure the front driveline is parallel to the
ground.
Mowing Tips

BLOCKING METHOD
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.
To minimize the potential hazards of working under-
neath 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.
ꢀ Keep all persons away from operator control
area while performing adjustments, service, or
maintenance.
ꢀ 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.
ꢀ Before working underneath, disconnect drive-
line from tractor, lower wings to ground, raise cut-
ter, and pin transport bar in raised position. Attach
parking jack and lower to ground. Securely block
all four corners of center section and each wing
with jack stands. Blocking up prevents the cutter
from dropping due to hydraulic leak down, hydrau-
lic system failure, or mechanical component fail-
ure.
ꢀ Service and maintenance work not covered in
OWNER SERVICE must be done by a qualified
dealership. Special skills, tools, and safety proce-
dures may be required. Failure to follow these
instructions can result in serious injury or death.
Do not position jackstands under wheels, axles, or
wheel supports. Components can rotate and cause cut-
ter 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 Xs in Figure 5)
under the cutter before working underneath unit.
ꢀ Before servicing, adjusting, repairing or unplug-
ging, stop tractor engine, place all controls in neu-
tral, set park brake, remove ignition key, and wait
for all moving parts to stop.
2. Consider the overall stability of the blocked unit.
Just placing jackstands underneath will not ensure
your safety.
ꢀ Never perform service or maintenance with
engine running.
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.
CAUTION
3. With full cutter weight lowered onto jackstands, test
blocking stability before working underneath.
ꢀ If you do not understand any part of this manual
and need assistance, see your dealer.
4. If cutter is attached to tractor when blocking, set
the brakes, remove key, and block cutter before
working underneath.
ꢀ 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.
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.

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

Used Aircraft Tires (Figure 9)
Replace any safety decals that are missing or not
readable.
WARNING
Periodically or Before Extended Storage
●
Clean large debris such as clumps of dirt, grass,
crop residue, etc. from machine.
●
Remove the remainder using a low-pressure water
spray.
1. Be careful when spraying near scratched or torn
safety decals or near edges of decals as water
spray can peel decal off surface.
2. Be careful when spraying near chipped or
scratched paint as water spray can lift paint.
3. If a pressure washer is used, follow the advice
Do not attempt to mount a tire unless you have the
proper equipment and experience to perform the job.
of the pressure washer manufacturer.
●
●
Inspect machine and replace worn or damaged
parts.
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.
Sand down scratches and the edges of areas of
missing paint and coat with Woods spray paint of
matching color (purchase from your Woods
dealer).
When inflating tires, use a clip-on chuck and an exten-
sion 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.
●
Replace any safety decals that are missing or not
readable (supplied free by your Woods dealer).

vice personnel. The repair described here requires
special skills and tools. If your shop is not properly
equipped or your mechanics are not properly trained in
this type of repair, you may be time and money ahead
to replace complete assemblies.
Recommended sealant for gearbox repair is
Permatex® 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.
Seal Installation
ꢀ Before working underneath, read manual
instructions, securely block up, and check stabil-
ity. Secure blocking prevents equipment from
dropping due to hydraulic leak down, hydraulic
system failure, or mechanical component failure.
NOTE: Proper seal installation is important. An improp-
erly installed seal will leak.
1. Clean area in housing where seal outer diameter
(OD) seats. Apply a thin coat of Permatex.
2. Inspect area of shaft where seal seats. Remove

maintenance.
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 will sit on the outside edge of the
seal but will clear the housing. Tubing with an OD
that is too small will bow seal cage and ruin seal.
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.
5. Carefully press seal into housing, avoiding
distortion to the metal seal cage.

1. Fill gearbox with SAE 80W or 90W gear lube.
Proper oil level is between lowest ring and end of
dipstick.
NOTE: Repair to this gearbox is limited to replac-
ing bearings, seals, and gaskets. Replacing gears,
shafts, and a housing is not cost effective. Pur-
chasing a complete gearbox is more economical.
2. Inspect gearbox for leakage and bad bearings.
Leakage is a very serious problem and must be
corrected immediately.

NOTE: Bearing failure is indicated by excessive
noise and side-to-side or end-play in gear shafts.

SERVICING TIRES SAFELY
Used Aircraft Tires (Figure 23)
WARNING
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.
Figure 22
When inflating tires, use a clip-on chuck and an exten-
sion 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.
U-Joint Assembly
1. Place seals securely on bearing cups. Insert cup
into yoke from outside and press in with hand
pressure as far as possible. Insert journal cross
into bearing cup with grease fitting away from
shaft. Be careful not to disturb needle bearings.
Insert another bearing cup directly across from first
cup and press in as far as possible with hand
pressure.
Check wheels for low pressure, cuts, bubbles, dam-
aged 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
