GENERAL INFORMATION

The purpose of this manual is to assist you in operating

and maintaining your mower. Read it carefully. It fur-

nishes information and instructions that will help you

achieve years of dependable performance. These

instructions have been compiled from extensive field

experience and engineering data. Some information

may be general in nature, due to unknown and varying

operating conditions. However, through experience

and these instructions, you should be able to develop

procedures suitable to your particular situation.

The illustrations and data used in this manual were cur-

rent at the time of printing. However, due to possible

inline production changes, your machine may vary

slightly in detail. We reserve the right to redesign and

change the machines as may be necessary without

notification.

Throughout this manual, references are made to right

and left directions. These are determined by standing

behind the tractor facing the direction of forward travel.

Blade rotation is counter-clockwise as viewed from the

top of the mower.

■

Some illustrations in this manual show the

mower with safety shields removed to provide a

better view. The mower should never be operated

with any safety shielding removed.

inserting lift chains into keyhole lift lugs. Raise the

mower, checking to ensure it does not contact any part

of tractor. Take up links, one or two at a time, until the

desired height is obtained.

depends on it being operated within the limitations as

explained in the manual. Be familiar with and follow all

safety rules in this manual, the tractor manual and

safety decals on the tractor and mower.

There is a long and short slot in the rear lift lugs. Level

mower by using these slots as needed.

A WARNING

After setting upper lift limit, lower mower to desired cut-

ting height. Set lower stop of mower hydraulic control

lever at this point. This will allow you to raise the mower

when necessary and return to the pre-set cutting

height.

■

Do not exceed PTO speed of 1000 rpm maxi-

mum.

The safe operation of this machine is the responsibility

of the operator. The operator should be familiar with

the mower and tractor and all safety practices before

starting operation. Read and follow the safety rules on

page 5 through page 7.

CUTTING HEIGHT ADJUSTMENT WITH

CASTERS

The caster arm has five holes for adjustment. Cutting

height is adjusted by changing the adjustment bracket

hole alignment with the caster arm.

The mower is designed for lawn or grass mowing. It is

not designed for rough conditions or heavy weed mow-

ing.

There are two holes on the frame rail to mount the

caster arm. Use the rear hole for settings up to 3". Use

the front hole for settings above 3".

It is equipped with suction type blades for best results

in lawn mowing. Optional low suction blades are avail-

able for use in sandy conditions.

Whenever adjustments are made to the casters, care-

fully raise mower to ensure casters do not come in con-

tact with any part of tractor. Should any interference

occur, readjust lift chains.

The warranty for this mower appears on the inside

back cover of this manual. Record the model and serial

numbers of your mower in the spaces provided above

the warranty. Provide this information to your dealer to

obtain correct repair parts.

Set lower stop of tractor hydraulic control lever to pre-

vent chains rubbing belt.

Take all possible precautions when leaving tractor

unattended: disengage PTO, lower mower, shift into

neutral, set parking brake, stop engine and remove key

from ignition.

IMPORTANT

■

Be sure lift chains do not interfere with drive

belt.

DAILY CHECK LIST

■

Always raise mower off casters when backing

up and turning at the same time to prevent casters

from locking up on front tires.

___ Check that mower is properly and securely

attached to tractor.

Attitude Adjustment

___ During inspection, check that all nuts and bolts

are secure and clevis pins are properly cotter

pinned.

___ Check condition of blades and security of attach-

ment.

CUTTING HEIGHT ADJUSTMENT WITH-

OUT CASTERS

Figure 1. Attitude Adjustment

Mower cutting height is raised, lowered and maintained

using tractor hydraulics and lift chains. Proper lift chain

adjustment is essential. The chains must be adjusted

so that tractor lift arms are in their highest position

before the lift or any part of mower is within 1/4" of con-

tacting tractor or mower lift stops. Improper lift chain

adjustment could result in damage to lift mechanism or

tractor.

Place tractor and mower on a level surface to check

and adjust mower attitude. For best mowing results,

dimension “A” should not be more than 1/2" higher and

never lower than dimension “B” (except when using a

leaf mulcher or with some tractor tire configurations, it

may be necessary to adjust rear of mower approxi-

mately 1/4" lower than front to prevent belt from rub-

bing on mower.)

■

Do not operate mower in vicinity of other per-

sons.

■

Do not allow riders on tractor or mower.

Dimension “B” is set by adjusting optional casters or lift

chains.

PRE-OPERATION CHECK LIST

Dimension “A” is set by raising or lowering channel

arms in push bars.

___ Check to ensure blades are sharp and secure

and cutting edge is positioned in the direction of

blade rotation (counter-clockwise as viewed from

top of mower).

IMPORTANT

■

Any adjustment to either dimension “A” or “B”

will require checking the other adjustment.

___ Always operate tractor PTO at 1000 rpm maxi-

mum when mowing.

Set desired cutting height with casters or lift chains

then adjust for dimension “A”.

___ Check to make sure all safety shielding is prop-

erly installed and is in good condition. Be sure

discharge chute or side shield is installed.

Check attitude by placing a straight edge along outside

edge of mower as shown in Figure 1. Measure from

bottom of straight edge to ground. The measurement at

dimension “B” should be level with or approximately

1/2" lower than the rear. The measurement at dimen-

sion “A” should never be lower than the one at dimen-

sion “B” (except when using a leaf mulcher or with

some tractor tire configurations, it may be necessary to

adjust rear of mower approximately 1/4" lower than

front to prevent belt from rubbing on mower.)

___ Check cutting height adjustment.

___ Clear area to be mowed of debris that could be

picked up and thrown by mower.

___ Place tractor transmission in neutral and be sure

PTO is disengaged before attempting to start

tractor engine.

___ Make sure all critical tractor adjustments such as

brake and clutch pedal travel, etc., are set to trac-

tor manufacturer’s specifications.

To determine cutting height, it is necessary to subtract

the distance the blade is below mower from the mea-

surement at dimension “B”. Subtract 4-7/8" from

dimension “B”; the remainder is the cutting height.

STARTING & STOPPING MOWER

Power for operating the mower is supplied by tractor

power take off (PTO). Refer to your tractor manual for

PTO operating instruction.

Be sure mower is level side to side using these mea-

surements. If it is not, check to be sure casters are set

in same hole, and that channel arms and push bars are

set in same hole on each side. Minor adjustments can

be made by using slots in rear lift bracket for adjust-

ments.

A WARNING

When making cutting height or attitude changes, be

sure to check belt alignment. (Refer to Belt Alignment

in Assembly section on page 23.)

■

Do not exceed PTO speed of 1000 rpm maxi-

mum.

IMPORTANT

Improper belt alignment or tension can cause

A CAUTION

■

premature belt failure.

■

Stop mower and tractor immediately upon

striking an obstructions. Inspect mower and repair

any damage before resuming operation.

Side Skid Adjustment

With cutting height established, adjust side skids at

least 1/2" above ground level. Properly adjusted side

skids are designed to carry mower over uneven ground

and minimize scalping. Never adjust side skids to be in

constant contact with ground.

Should mower become plugged, causing belt to slip

over two seconds, raise mower just enough to clear

plug and continue running for at least two minutes,

allowing pulleys to cool. Stopping the mower with belt

in contact with a very hot pulley will bake and ruin belt.

Do not raise mower higher than necessary, to reduce

the risk of thrown objects.

A WARNING

increase PTO speed to 1000 rpm and maintain

throughout cutting operation.

Before mowing, analyze the area to determine the best

mowing procedure. Consider the height, type of grass

and the terrain type (hilly, level or rough).

During operation mowing vibration tends to loosen

hardware. All hardware should be checked regularly to

maintain proper torque. It is good practice to check

mower before each operation to ensure all hardware is

tight.

installed.

■

A DANGER

MOWING TECHNIQUES

Mowing Speed

■

Keep hands and feet away from discharge

opening.

The condition of the terrain to be cut will determine the

smoothness of final results. For best results, mower

blades should be kept sharp at all times and the mower

as level as possible. When mower blades show exces-

sive wear, they should be replaced.

A WARNING

■

Pick up all rocks, twigs and other debris before

Proper ground speed for mowing will depend on the

height, type and density of grass to be cut. Normally,

ground speed will range from two to five mph. Tall,

dense grass should be mowed at lower speeds, while

thin, medium height grass can be cut at a faster ground

speed.

mowing. Enter new areas carefully. Cut grass

higher the first time to allow mower to clear unseen

objects. Never assume an area is clear. Always

check!

■

Clear mowing area of all people when operating

mower. Thrown objects could injure bystanders.

Always operate tractor PTO at 1000 rpm maximum

when mowing. This is necessary to maintain proper

blade speed to produce a clean cut. Under certain sea-

sonal conditions, front tractor tires may roll some

grasses down and prevent them from being cut to the

same height as the surrounding area. When this

occurs, reduce the tractor ground speed, operating

tractor PTO at 1000 rpm. The slower speed will permit

grasses to at least partially rebound and be cut.

Mow with uncut grass to the right. This will distribute

the clippings over the cut area. Discharging clippings

over uncut grass will cause a buildup and may prevent

uniform cutting.

For a professional touch in large open areas, try the

mowing pattern in Figure 2. Make two passes counter-

clockwise to discharge clippings away from bordering

objects. Then cut the lawn in half by mowing down the

center. Turn clockwise to the right at end of area over

grass previously mowed.

Under some conditions, the grasses will not rebound

enough to be cut evenly, resulting in an uneven

appearance. In general, lower mowing heights give a

more even cut with less tendency to leave tire tracks.

Plan your mowing pattern to travel straight forward

whenever possible.

It is better to mow grass more often rather than too

short. Short grass deteriorates rapidly in hot weather

and invites weed growth during growing seasons. Fol-

low local recommendations for the suitable cutting

height in your area.

Mowing Tips

Extremely tall grass should be mowed twice. Cut grass

higher on first pass. Cut the second time at desired

height at 90° to the first pass.

Remember, sharp blades produce cleaner cuts and

use less power.

10 Operation

32695 (Rev. 11/17/2006)

Download from Www.Somanuals.com. All Manuals Search And Download.

Avoid sudden starts and stops when traveling up or

down hill. Always mow down steep slopes, never up or

across the face.

Slow down on sharp turns and slopes to prevent tip-

ping or loss of control.

CLEANING

After Each Use

●

Remove large debris such as clumps of dirt, grass,

crop residue, etc. from machine.

Inspect machine and replace worn or damaged

parts.

Replace any safety decals that are missing or not

readable.

When completing a maintenance or service

function, make sure all safety shields are in good

condition and properly installed before placing

mower in service.

Shims should be added to blade installation to leave

approximately 1/32" cup in cup washers when blade

bolt is torqued to 170 lbs-ft.

A CAUTION

Excessive blade slipping can cause the cup washers to

burn and lose their clamping force. If this happens, the

cup washers must be replaced.

■

Always use personal protection devices such

as eye and ear protectors when performing mainte-

nance functions.

This blade friction clutch disc allows the assembly to

slip when hitting a solid object. If slippage occurs dur-

ing normal mowing, it may be necessary to add an

additional shim washer (6).

BELT INSTALLATION

See Belt Installation in Assembly section on page 19.

BLADE SERVICING

Blades may be removed from the mower while it is still

mounted on the tractor.

■

Do not handle mower blades with bare hands.

BLADE SHARPENING

Careless or improper handling may result in seri-

ous injury.

IMPORTANT

Inspect blades before each use to determine that they

are mounted tightly and are in good condition. Replace

any blade that is bent, excessively nicked, worn or has

any other damage. Small nicks can be ground out

when sharpening.

■

When sharpening blades be sure to balance

them. Unbalanced blades will cause excessive

vibration which can damage blade spindle bear-

ings. Vibration may also cause structural cracks in

mowing housing.

nance functions.

The information in this section is written for dealer ser-

vice personnel. The repair described herein 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.

SPINDLE INSPECTION

Spindles are equipped with two tapered roller bearings.

Adjustment is set by pressing a sleeve on the shaft

until all end play is removed. Adjustment is maintained

with a roll pin driven through the sleeve and shaft.

Periodically inspect blade spindles by grasping pulley,

moving from side to side and up and down. Also rotate

spindle. If end play or wobble is detected or if it feels

rough when rotated (indicating bad bearings), repair or

replace.

Remove bearing cups from housing by placing a punch

in slots provided and drive out. Alternate punch posi-

tion from side to side. Take care to prevent housing

damage.

Place seal squarely on housing and select pipe or tub-

ing with an OD that will set on outside edge of seal. A

tubing with an OD that is too small will bow seal cage.

Carefully guide seal lip over shaft and carefully press

seal into housing. Be careful to prevent distortion to

metal cage. Seal should seat firmly and squarely

against machined shoulder in housing.

Assembly

Bearing cones and cups are designed to mate. It is

important to position them so bearing cones taper

mates with cup taper.

Make sure seal lip did not roll under. Distortion to seal

case or damage to seal lip will cause seal to leak.

Damaged seals must be replaced.

Lubricate new cups with a light oil. Place them in spin-

dle housing with tapers toward the outside.

Carefully press top seal into housing with spring up and

away from center of housing. Top seal should be flush

with up to 1/16" above housing.

Seat cups securely with a press or place a large soft

drift on the flat lip of cup and drive them into housing

until seated against machined shoulder of housing.

Drill a 3/16" hole 9/32" down from top of sleeve and

drive roll pin through sleeve and shaft to hold bearing

adjustment.

Polish areas of shaft and sleeve where seals will seat

with emery cloth.

Place bottom bearing cone on spindle shaft so it will

mate with cup, and press on until it seats on bottom

shoulder of shaft.

Lubricate spindle with a medium grade grease. Turn

spindle bottom up and vent bottom seal with a dull

instrument such as a tongue depressor or letter

opener.

Insert shaft and bearing through bottom of housing and

seat against cup.

Apply grease until it comes out where you are venting

seal. Use care to prevent cutting or nicking seal.

Fill housing cavity with a medium grade grease.

Rotate spindle housing on shaft, checking for free

movement.

Install top bearing on shaft to mate with top cone and

press on shaft until there is room for sleeve.

Apply a thin coat of Permatex to shaft area where

sleeve will seat. Install sleeve on shaft and press

sleeve and bearing down shaft until all end play is

removed (similar to adjusting front wheel bearings on

an automobile). Check by spinning spindle. It should

turn freely. If it is too tight, hold spindle housing and hit

spindle shaft with a lead hammer. Press again until the

proper adjustment is obtained.

Spindle Installation

Insert spindle up through bottom of mower frame. Posi-

tion grease fitting for proper lubrication access and

install the four mounting bolts.

PULLEY INSTALLATION

Install pulley onto spindle shaft. Install split taper bush-

ing and key. Alternately tighten bolts to 12 lbs-ft. Check

to be sure pulley is located on shaft to the dimensions

shown in Figure 8. Dimensions are from top of mower

frame to pulley center line.

Be careful not to over-tighten bearings. Proper bearing

adjustment is essential to good bearing lift.

IMPORTANT

■

Improper positioning of seals can cause seal

and spindle damage.

Proper seal installation is important. An improperly

installed seal will leak and could cause bearing failure.

Pull the rubber portion of seal back and locate spring.

Lightly coat area of housing where seals seat with Per-

matex.

Install bottom seal with spring up toward center of

housing.

ASSEMBLY

DEALER SET-UP INSTRUCTIONS

Assembly of this mower is the responsibility of the

Woods dealer. The mower should be delivered to the

owner completely assembled, lubricated and adjusted

for normal cutting conditions.

Using these instructions, set up mower as received

from the factory.

Complete check lists on page 27 when set-up is com-

plete.

The mower is shipped partially assembled. Assembly

will be easier if components are aligned and loosely

assembled before tightening hardware. Recommended

torque values for hardware are located on page 35.

1. Discharge Chute

2. Side Shield

3. Side Skid

Select a suitable working area. Open parts boxes and

lay out parts and hardware to make locating easy.

Refer to illustrations, accompanying text, parts lists and

exploded view drawings.

Figure 9. Discharge Chute, Side Shield &

Side Skid Installation

A CAUTION

Crosswise Support Installation

Attach crosswise support to mower deck, welded lug

forward. The lug has two holes. Use bottom holes for

low cutting heights and top holes for higher cutting

heights. Install spacer bushing into appropriate hole.

Insert bolt through deck and slide crosswise support

onto bolt. Secure with nut.

■

Always use personal protection devices such

as eye and ear protectors during assembly.

MOWER PREPARATION

A DANGER

■

Keep away. To avoid serious injury or death

from thrown objects or blade contact, never oper-

ate mower without discharge chute in place.

Side Skid Installation

Attach side skids to outer frame rail with 1/2 x 1-1/4"

bolts. Final adjustment of skids will be necessary when

cutting height is established.

with 5/8 x 1-1/2" clevis pins and secure with safety

pins. Attach channels to crosswise support with clevis

pins and secure with safety pins.

One of the major causes of belt failure is improper

installation. Before you install a new belt, check pulley

shafts and bearings for wear. Check pulley grooves for

cleanliness and be sure pulleys turn freely and with

only slight wobble. If grooves require cleaning, moisten

a cloth with a non-flammable, non-toxic, degreasing

agent or commercial detergent and water.

Lift Chain Installation

See Figure 10. Lift chains are inserted in keyhole

brackets on mower deck and secured with caplugs.

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. Always loosen idler pulleys prior

to belt installation.

There are two sets of three keyhole brackets. Use the

front outside brackets.

Belt Take-Up Assembly

The belt may be completely installed with mower

mounted on tractor. However, it is easier to install belt

on mower frame with mower detached.

Be sure belt clears belt guides by 1/8". Reform guide if

necessary. This should be checked with belt com-

pletely installed.

Step 1: Insert belt in bottom right hand groove of center

pulley and route toward take-up assembly. Tip take-up

assembly forward and route belt through idler pulleys

as shown in Figure 12.

1. Left Blade Spindle

2. Front Side Idler

3. Back Side Idler

The belt take-up assembly replaces left belt shield. To

install, remove left belt shield and replace with take-up

assembly. Do not tighten hardware until belt is

installed.

Push Channel Attachment

Select desired cutting height (refer to Operation sec-

tion), and attach push channel arms to idler bracket

with 5/8 x 1-3/4 clevis pins (installed from outside in)

and secure with safety pins.

Belt Installation

Figure 19. Best Possible Alignment of Left Idler

Pull belt to rear of tractor. Give belt a 3/4 clockwise

twist between center pulley and left idler. Install belt

under idler and route over drive pulley. A 1/4 clockwise

twist should occur between right idler and center pulley.

If any twist occurs other than these, the belt is incor-

rectly installed. Recheck installation steps and correct

as necessary.

Lift Chain Installation

Figure 20. Maximum Left Idler Should be Raised

Figure 21. Maximum Left Idler Should be Lowered

Straighten lift chains so links are flat (without twist) and

thread through front lift bracket chain idlers mounted

directly above mower frame.

Route chain under tractor and through rear chain idlers

mounted on idler bracket. Make sure chain remains

flat. A twisted chain will not roll smoothly through chain

idler. Insert end of chain into rear lift lugs mounted on

tractor rockshaft arms. When cutting height is adjusted

and installation complete, cut off excess chain leaving

over 4".

Adjust cutting height (refer to Operation section, page

8).

Figure 22. Best Possible Alignment of Right Idler

Figure 23. Maximum Right Idler Should be Raised

Belt Alignment

See Figure 19 through Figure 24. Belt alignment and

tension should be set at the same time. It is suggested

that you read both the Alignment and Tensioning sec-

tions on page 23 before attempting either. Improper

tension or alignment will affect belt life.

With mower level and cutting height set, check belt

alignment.

Belt alignment is accomplished by adjusting idler pul-

leys and/or moving the mower forward or to the rear

with push channel adjustment.

Alignment tolerance are shown in Figure 19 through

Figure 24. The best idler alignment is shown in Figure

19 and Figure 22. However, it is not always possible to

achieve. Alignment may be set within the tolerances

given but the left idler must always be at least 1" higher

than the right.

Figure 24. Maximum Right Idler Should be Lowered

Belt Tension

Set belt tension using a spring scale or other force

measuring device. Remove right belt shield and attach

scale between the center and right pulley. Apply

between three and four pounds of force. Belt deflection

should measure 5/16" for normal conditions.

Be sure belt does not rub on rear apron of mower. If

mower is set to high cutting heights, it is sometimes

necessary to run back of mower 1/4" lower than front to

prevent this.

Tension may be increased if necessary to prevent belt

from slipping in heavy mowing conditions.

IMPORTANT

■

Belt must not rub deck or crosswise support.

Assembly 23

32695 (Rev. 11/17/2006)

When checking tension without a force measuring

device, the belt, when properly set, should feel very

tight.

Attach the right and left adjustment brackets, offset

down and inward, and in front hole as shown in Figure

25 on each side of the deck angle and inside side skid.

Use two 1/2" flat washers as spacers at the rear side

skid hole.

Cycle belt through at least two revolutions after any

adjustment before checking tension. These belts are

very strong and need to be adjusted very tightly. Belts

are more likely to be damaged by excessive slippage

than from being overtightened.

Select the desired cutting height and install adjustment

brackets to caster arm with 1/2" x 1-3/4" bolts and

secure with 1/2" flange lock nuts.

Minor tension adjustments are made by moving the

idler pulleys up or down. Major tension adjustments are

made by moving the mower deck forward and rear-

ward.

Adjust side skids to ride at least 1/2" above ground

level.

IMPORTANT

■

Alignment must be rechecked if it is necessary

to move idler pulleys or the mower deck to get

proper belt tension.

■

Tension on a new belt should be readjusted

every half hour for the first two hours and then

checked every eight hours of operation.

Rear Belt Shield Installation

Front Roller

OPTIONAL EQUIPMENT

The front roller should be used when scalping occurs.

Side skids and casters effectively reduce scalping in

most cases. You may encounter areas where the side

skids or casters will drop into depressions and allow

the center of the mower to contact the ground and

scalp. When this occurs you should install a front roller

in the center of the mower.

A leaf mulcher, low suction blades, extra-suction

blades, front roller and casters are offered as optional

equipment for this mower. Some options may not be

available for some mountings.

Blades

Low suction and extra suction blades are optional for

this mower. In sandy areas where abrasive action

could cause excessive blade wear, low suction blades

are recommended.

Extra suction blades are designed to lift up fragile

downed grasses for better cutting results. They are

also recommended for use with leaf mulcher attach-

ment.

Figure 26. Scalping Without Front Rollers

Casters

Casters are used to adjust cutting height.

Mount casters on mowers to the outside deck rails and

over side shield or discharge chute. Attach rear of

caster arm in fourth hole from front of deck rail with a

3/8" x 1-1/2" bolt and secure with lock washer and nut.

The arm may be mounted in the third hole to obtain

more height and caster adjustment.
