experience and these instructions, you should be able  
to develop procedures suitable to your particular situa-  
tion.  
„ Some illustrations in this manual show the  
equipment with safety shields removed to provide  
a better view. This equipment should never be  
operated with any necessary safety shielding  
removed.  
The illustrations and data used in this manual were cur-  
rent at the time of printing. However, due to possible

SAFETY RULES  
ATTENTION! BECOME ALERT! YOUR SAFETY IS INVOLVED!  
PREPARATION  
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.  
„ Check that all hardware is properly installed.  
Always tighten to torque chart specifications  
unless instructed otherwise in this manual.  
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.  
„ 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.  
„ Route hydraulic hoses carefully to prevent dam-  
age. 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.  
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  
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.  
„ 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.  
„ 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.  
„ 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 attach-  
ments, and all controls. Do not allow anyone to  
operate this equipment without proper instruc-  
tions.  
„ 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.  
„ 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 spring-activated locking pin or collar  
slides freely and is seated firmly in tractor PTO  
spline groove.  
„ 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-  
TACT A PHYSICIAN IMMEDIATELY IF FLUID  
ENTERS SKIN OR EYES. DO NOT DELAY.  
„ 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.  
„ Never allow children or untrained persons to  
operate equipment.

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  
„ 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.  
• Damage to the implement or its components.  
„ Use additional caution and reduce speed when  
under adverse surface conditions, turning, or on  
inclines.  
„ 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.  
„ 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 equip-  
ment to drop.  
„ Inspect chain shielding before each use.  
Replace if damaged.  
„ Always comply with all state and local lighting  
and marking requirements.  
„ Remove accumulated debris from this equip-  
ment, power unit, and engine to avoid fire hazard.  
„ Never allow riders on power unit or attachment.  
„ Do not operate PTO during transport.  
„ Make sure all safety decals are installed.  
Replace if damaged. (See Safety Decals section for  
location.)  
„ Do not operate or transport equipment while  
under the influence of alcohol or drugs.  
„ Make sure shields and guards are properly  
installed and in good condition. Replace if dam-  
aged.  
OPERATION  
„ Only engage power when equipment is at  
ground operating level. Always disengage power  
when equipment is raised off the ground.  
„ 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 result-  
ing 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.  
„ Do not allow bystanders in the area when oper-  
ating, attaching, removing, assembling, or servic-  
ing 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 sys-  
tem failures, mechanical failures, or movement of  
control levers can cause wings to drop unexpect-  
edly and cause severe injury or death.  
„ Inspect and clear area of stones, branches, or  
other hard objects that might be thrown, causing  
injury or damage.  
„ Full chain shielding must be installed when  
operating in populated areas or other areas where  
thrown objects could injure people or damage  
property.  
„ Never attach the mower release rope to the  
operator, the operator's clothing, or the tractor  
seat.  
• 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).  
„ 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-  
„ Never direct discharge toward people, animals,  
or property.

„ 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 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.  
„ 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.  
„ Before performing any service or maintenance,  
disconnect driveline from tractor PTO.  
„ Never allow riders on power unit or attachment.  
„ Before performing any service or maintenance,  
lower equipment to ground or block securely, turn  
off engine, remove key, and disconnect driveline  
from tractor PTO.  
„ 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.  
„ Before servicing blades, raise and lock mower  
in transport position, turn off engine, set parking  
brake and remove key.  
„ 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.  
„ Do not modify or alter or permit anyone else to  
modify or alter the equipment or any of its compo-  
nents in any way.  
„ Operate tractor PTO at 540 RPM. Do not exceed.  
„ Your dealer can supply original equipment  
hydraulic accessories and repair parts. Substitute  
parts may not meet original equipment specifica-  
tions and may be dangerous.  
„ 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.  
„ To prevent contamination, clean and then cover  
hose ends, fittings, and hydraulic ports with tape.  
„ 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.  
„ Do not allow bystanders in the area when oper-  
ating, attaching, removing, assembling, or servic-  
ing equipment.  
„ Make sure attachment is properly secured,  
adjusted, and in good operating condition.  
„ Look down and to the rear and make sure area  
is clear before operating in reverse.  
„ Keep all persons away from operator control  
area while performing adjustments, service, or  
maintenance.  
„ Do not operate or transport on steep slopes.  
„ Do not stop, start, or change directions sud-  
denly on slopes.  
„ Frequently check blades. They should be sharp,  
free of nicks and cracks, and securely fastened.  
„ Use extreme care and reduce ground speed on  
slopes and rough terrain.  
„ Do not handle blades with bare hands. Careless  
or improper handling may result in serious injury.  
„ Watch for hidden hazards on the terrain during  
operation.  
„ Your dealer can supply genuine replacement  
blades. Substitute blades may not meet original  
equipment specifications and may be dangerous.  
„ Stop power unit and implement immediately  
upon striking an obstruction. Dismount power unit,  
using proper procedure. Inspect and repair any  
damage before resuming operation.

and pulley.  
„ Make sure all safety decals are installed.  
Replace if damaged. (See Safety Decals section for  
location.)  
„ Use care when installing or removing belt from  
spring-loaded idler. Springs store energy when  
extended and, if released suddenly, can cause per-  
sonal injury.  
„ Make sure shields and guards are properly  
installed and in good condition. Replace if dam-  
aged.  
STORAGE  
„ Do not disconnect hydraulic lines until engine is  
stopped, power unit is properly secured, equip-  
ment and all components are lowered to the  
ground, and system pressure is released by oper-  
ating all valve control levers.

OPERATION  
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 trac-  
tor, and all safety practices before starting operation.  
Read the safety rules and safety decals on page 5  
through page 12.  
CAUTION  
„ Stop power unit and implement immediately  
upon striking an obstruction. Dismount power unit,  
using proper procedure. Inspect and repair any  
damage before resuming operation.  
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.  
„ 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.  
Recommended mowing speed for most conditions is  
from 2 to 5 mph. Always operate power unit PTO at  
540 rpm.  
ATTACHING MOWER TO TRACTOR  
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.  
„ Make sure spring-activated locking pin or collar  
slides freely and is seated firmly in tractor PTO  
spline groove.  
Lower mower to the ground when not in use.  
„ Make sure shields and guards are properly  
installed and in good condition. Replace if dam-  
aged.  
„ Full chain shielding must be installed when  
operating in populated areas or other areas where  
thrown objects could injure people or damage  
property.  
„ Never attach the mower release rope to the  
operator, the operator's clothing, or the tractor  
seat.  
• If this machine is not equipped with full chain  
shielding, operation must be stopped when any-  
one comes within 300 feet (92 m).  
1. Park mower and tractor on a level, hard-surfaced  
area.  
• 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).  
2. Adjust tractor hitch bracket on trailer frame so the  
trailer is level when attached to the tractor. Pin the  
mower to the tractor. See Leveling Mower, page  
14.  
NOTE: When attaching mower to tractor drawbar,  
make sure the correct drawbar pin is used. A Category  
1 drawbar is 1". Failure to use the correct pin size will  
result in premature wear of hitch and drawbar hole. If  
the hitch on the mower doesn't match your tractor  
drawbar, contact your dealer to order the correct size  
hitch for your tractor. If mower will be attached to trac-  
tor for a long period of time, secure hitch to drawbar  
using a bolt, locknut, and washers assembled tightly.  
This will reduce wear on drawbar and hitch.  
„ 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.  
A 1-3/8" 6B spline PTO shaft is used for connecting the  
mower to the tractor. This mower is designed for 540  
rpm PTO only.  
„ Never allow riders on power unit or attachment.  
„ Never allow children or untrained persons to  
operate equipment.  
The PTO drive shaft is intended for use with tractors  
that have 14 inches between the end of the PTO shaft  
and the tractor's drawbar hitch pin hole.  
„ Keep bystanders away from equipment.  
„ Make sure spring-activated locking pin or collar  
slides freely and is seated firmly in tractor PTO  
spline groove.

drop between the driveline shields and the gearbox  
rotating shafts.  
5. Shut off the engine and connect the CV driveline to  
tractor.  
6. Repeat the process until the driveline can be

connected is the maximum turn that can be made.  
Leveling Mower  
NOTE: To ensure satisfactory mower performance, the  
trailer frame and decks must be leveled before operat-  
ing 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

trailer frame.  
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.  
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.  
Interference Check  
1. Be sure that the tractor 3-point lift arms do not  
interfere with hydraulic hoses, driveline or mower  
frame.  
7. Attach the driveline to the tractor.  
CUTTING HEIGHT ADJUSTMENT  
2. Check for straight ahead operation and full turning  
angles. If there is any interference, remove the 3-  
point arms.  
NOTE: Contact between 3-point arms and mower  
can cause damage, especially when turning.  
„ Keep all persons away from operator control  
area while performing adjustments, service, or  
maintenance.  
CV Driveline Turning Limits  
NOTICE  
NOTICE  
■
Do not exceed turning angle of 80 degrees at  
the head of the Constant Velocity (CV) driveline or  
damage will occur.  
■
Avoid low cutting heights. Striking the ground  
with blades produces one of the most damaging  
shock loads a mower can encounter. Allowing  
blades to contact ground repeatedly will cause  
damage to mower and drive.  
Check for excessive turn angle:  
1. Disconnect the driveline from the tractor.

TRANSPORT  
OPERATING  
When transporting the mower, raise the wings and the  
rear deck until all three transport locks engage auto-  
matically.  
To lower the wings and the rear deck:  
„ 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.  
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.  
When engaging the PTO, engine rpm should always be  
low. Once engaged and ready for mowing, increase  
Operation 15  
MAN0765 (12/5/2008)  
Download from Www.Somanuals.com. All Manuals Search And Download.  
PTO speed to 540 rpm and maintain speed throughout  
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.  
Analyze area to be cut to determine the best proce-  
dure. Consider height and type of grass and terrain  
type: hilly, level, or rough.  
Uneven Terrain  
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.  
„ Do not operate or transport on steep slopes.  
„ Do not stop, start, or change directions sud-  
denly on slopes.  
Operating Technique  
„ Use extreme care and reduce ground speed on  
slopes and rough terrain.  
CAUTION  
„ 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.  
In extremely uneven terrain, rear wheel weights, front  
tractor weights and/or front tire ballast should be used  
to improve stability.  
Proper ground speed will depend upon the terrain, the  
height, type, and density of material to be cut.  
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.  
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.  
Avoid sudden starts and stops when traveling up or  
down hill.  
Always operate tractor PTO at 540 rpm to maintain  
proper blade speed and produce a clean cut.  
Always mow down slopes, never up or across the face.  
Avoid operating on steep slopes.  
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 par-  
tially rebound.  
Slow down on sharp turns and slopes to prevent tip-  
ping 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.  
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.  
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.  
Operating Tips  
5. Store the PTO shaft end and the hydraulic hose  
couplings off the ground and keep them clean.  
PRE-OPERATION CHECK LIST

OWNER SERVICE  
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 informa-  
tion in this manual  
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.  
„ Full chain shielding must be installed when  
operating in populated areas or other areas where  
thrown objects could injure people or damage  
property.  
LUBRICATION INFORMATION  
Do not let excess grease collect on or around parts,  
particularly when operating in sandy areas.  
• 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).  
See Figure 2 and Figure 3 for lubrication points and fre-  
quency or lubrication based on normal operating condi-  
tions. 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 fol-  
lowed.  
Gearbox Lubrication  
„ 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.  
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  
„ 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-  
TACT A PHYSICIAN IMMEDIATELY IF FLUID  
ENTERS SKIN OR EYES. DO NOT DELAY.  
Lubricate the driveshaft slip joints every eight operat-  
ing 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.  
„ Keep all persons away from operator control  
area while performing adjustments, service, or

gearboxes.  
6. Raise and lower decks several time to distribute  
grease along drivelines.  
To grease the telescoping shaft of the CV drive, the  
drive must be disconnected from the tractor and fully  
collapsed to expose the grease fitting.  
„ Before dismounting power unit or performing  
any service or maintenance, follow these steps:

BELT SERVICING  
Belt Replacement  
One of the major causes of belt failure is improper  
installation. Before installing a new belt, check the fol-  
lowing:  
BLADE SERVICING  
1. Check pulley shafts and bearings for wear.  
2. Check pulley grooves for cleanliness.  
„ Before servicing blades, raise and lock mower  
in transport position, turn off engine, set parking  
brake and remove key.  
„ Keep all persons away from operator control  
area while performing adjustments, service, or  
maintenance.  
3. Make sure spindles turn freely and without wobble.  
If grooves require cleaning, moisten a cloth with a non-  
flammable, non-toxic degreasing agent or commercial  
detergent and water.  
Avoid excessive force during installation. Do not use  
tools to pry belt into pulley groove. Do not roll belt over  
pulleys to install. This can cause hidden damage and  
premature belt failure.  
CAUTION  
„ Frequently check blades. They should be sharp,  
free of nicks and cracks, and securely fastened.  
Belt Installation  
1. Raise mower decks to the transport position and  
make sure transport locks are engaged.  
2. Shut off tractor, relieve hydraulic pressure in  
cylinders, set parking brake and remove key.  
3. Inspect blades before each use to determine that  
they are mounted securely and are in good  
condition.  
4. Replace any blade that is bent, excessively nicked,  
worn, or has any other damage.  
5. Small nicks can be ground out when sharpening.

GEARBOX REPAIR  
Read this entire section before starting any repair.  
Many steps are dependent on each other.  
Fill gearbox with SAE 80W or 90W gear lube until it  
runs out the side level plug.  
Repair to this gearbox is limited to replacing bearings,  
seals, and gaskets. Replacing gears, shafts, and a  
housing is not cost effective. It is more economical to  
purchase a complete gearbox if repair to anything other  
than replacement of bearings, seals or gaskets is  
required.

Inspect gearbox for leakage and bad bearings.  
Refer to Figure 11.  
Leakage is a very serious problem and must be cor-  
rected immediately.  
1. Disconnect and remove the driveline from the  
gearbox.  
Bearing failure is indicated by excessive noise and side

3. Remove gearbox stand from mower deck.  
4. Remove gearbox and pulley from stand (2).  
Recommended sealant for gearbox repair is Perma-  
tex® Aviation 3D Form-A-Gasket or equivalent.  
5. Remove vertical shaft seal. Replace with new seal  
(see Seal Replacement, page 25).  
Leakage can occur at the vertical or horizontal gaskets  
and shaft seals.  
Vertical seal should be recessed in housing. Hori-  
zontal seal should be pressed flush with outside of  
housing.  
Leakage at the horizontal gasket or seal can be  
repaired without removing the gearbox from the mower.  
NOTE: Distortion to seal cage or damage to seal  
lip will cause seal to leak.

Attach Hydraulic Hoses  
Complete check lists on page 33 when assembly is  
complete.  
„ 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.  
„ 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.  
Attach the mower hydraulic hose to the tractor port.  
Hydraulic quick coupler is not supplied.  
„ 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-  
TACT A PHYSICIAN IMMEDIATELY IF FLUID  
ENTERS SKIN OR EYES. DO NOT DELAY.  
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.  
„ Make sure spring-activated locking pin or collar  
slides freely and is seated firmly in tractor PTO  
spline groove.  
OPTIONAL EQUIPMENT  
Chain Shielding Installation  
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.  
„ 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).  
Remove Shipping Straps  
• 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).
