Operators must be instructed in and be capableof the safe operation of the equipment, its attach-ments, and all controls. Do not allow anyone tooperate this equipment without proper instructions.

Keep hands and body away from pressurizedlines. Use paper or cardboard, not hands or otherbody parts to check for leaks. Wear safety goggles.Hydraulic fluid under pressure can easily penetrateskin and will cause serious injury or death.

Make sure that all operating and service person-nel know that if hydraulic fluid penetrates skin, itmust be surgically removed as soon as possible bya doctor familiar with this form of injury or gan-grene, serious injury, or death will result. CON-

TACT A PHYSICIAN IMMEDIATELY IF FLUIDENTERS SKIN OR EYES. DO NOT DELAY.

Never allow children or untrained persons tooperate equipment.

PREPARATION Check that all hardware is properly installed.Always tighten to torque chart specificationsunless instructed otherwise in this manual.

Air in hydraulic systems can cause erratic oper-ation and allows loads or equipment componentsto drop unexpectedly. When connecting equipmentor hoses or performing any hydraulic maintenance,purge any air in hydraulic system by operating allhydraulic functions several times. Do this beforeputt ing into service or al lowing anyone toapproach the equipment.

Make sure all hydraulic hoses, fittings, andvalves are in good condition and not leaking beforestarting power unit or using equipment. Check androute hoses carefully to prevent damage. Hosesmust not be twisted, bent sharply, kinked, frayed,pinched, or come into contact with any movingparts. Operate moveable components through fulloperational range to check clearances. Replaceany damaged hoses immediately.

After connecting hoses, check that all controllever positions function as instructed in the Opera-tor's Manual. Do not put into service until controllever and equipment movements are correct.

Set tractor hydraulic relief valve at 2500 psi (170bars) (17,000 kPa) to prevent injury and equipmentdamage due to hydraulic system failure.

Your dealer can supply original equipmenthydraulic accessories and repair parts. Substituteparts may not meet original equipment specifica-tions and may be dangerous.

Always wear relatively tight and belted clothingto avoid getting caught in moving parts. Wearsturdy, rough-soled work shoes and protectiveequipment for eyes, hair, hands, hearing, and head;and respirator or filter mask where appropriate.

Make sure attachment is properly secured,adjusted, and in good operating condition. Make sure spring-activated locking pin or collarslides freely and is seated firmly in tractor PTOspline groove.

(Safety Rules continued on next page)

Safety is a primary concern in the design andmanufacture of our products. Unfortunately, ourefforts to provide safe equipment can be wipedout by an operator’s single careless act.In addition to the design and configuration ofequipment, hazard control and accident preven-tion are dependent upon the awareness, con-cern, judgement, and proper training ofpersonnel involved in the operation, transport,maintenance, and storage of equipment.It has been said, “The best safety device is aninformed, careful operator.” We ask you to bethat kind of operator.

SAFETY RULESATTENTION! BECOME ALERT! YOUR SAFETY IS INVOLVED!

8 Safety BW12_SR (2/6/2014)

(Safety Rules continued from previous page)

Make sure driveline guard tether chains areattached to the tractor and equipment as shown inthe pamphlet that accompanies the driveline.Replace if damaged or broken. Check that drivelineguards rotate freely on driveline before puttingequipment into service.

Before starting power unit, check all equipmentdriveline guards for damage. Replace any damagedguards. Make sure all guards rotate freely on alldrivelines. If guards do not rotate freely on drive-lines, repair and replace bearings before puttingequipment into service.

Power unit must be equipped with ROPS orROPS cab and seat belt. Keep seat belt securelyfastened. Falling off power unit can result in deathfrom being run over or crushed. Keep foldableROPS system in “locked up” position at all times.

Remove accumulated debris from this equip-ment, power unit, and engine to avoid fire hazard.

Make sure all safety decals are installed.Replace if damaged. (See Safety Decals section forlocation.)

Make sure shields and guards are properlyinstalled and in good condition. Replace if damaged.

Do not put this equipment into service unless allside skids are properly installed and in good condi-tion. Replace if damaged.

A minimum 20% of tractor and equipmentweight must be on the tractor front wheels whenattachments are in transport position. Without thisweight, front tractor wheels could raise up result-ing in loss of steering. The weight may be attainedwith front wheel weights, ballast in tires, front trac-tor weights or front loader. Weigh the tractor andequipment. Do not estimate.

Inspect and clear area of stones, branches, orother hard objects that might be thrown, causinginjury or damage.

Connect PTO driveline directly to power unitPTO shaft. Never use adapter sleeves or adaptershafts. Adapters can cause driveline failures due toincorrect spline or incorrect operating length andcan result in personal injury or death.

TRANSPORTATION Power unit must be equipped with Roll OverProtection System (ROPS) or ROPS cab and seatbelt. Keep seat belt securely fastened. Falling offpower unit can result in death from being run overor crushed. Keep foldable ROPS system in “lockedup” position at all times.

Always raise unit and install transport locksbefore transporting. Leak down or failure ofmechanical or hydraulic system can cause equip-ment to drop.

Always attach safety chain to tractor drawbarwhen transporting unit.

Always comply with all state and local lightingand marking requirements.

Never allow riders on power unit or attachment.

Do not operate PTO during transport.

Do not operate or transport on steep slopes.

Do not operate or transport equipment whileunder the influence of alcohol or drugs.

The maximum transport speed for towed andsemi-mounted machines is 20 mph (32 km/h).Regardless of the maximum speed capability of thetowing 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 whenunder adverse surface conditions, turning, or oninclines.

Never tow this implement with a motor vehicle.

OPERATION Do not allow bystanders in the area when oper-ating, attaching, removing, assembling, or servic-ing equipment.

Never walk, stand, or place yourself or othersunder a raised wing or in the path of a loweringwing. Hydraulic system leak-down, hydraulic sys-tem failures, mechanical failures, or movement ofcontrol levers can cause wings to drop unexpect-edly and cause severe injury or death.



Safety 9BW12_SR (2/6/2014)


Full chain shielding must be installed at alltimes. Thrown objects could injure people or dam-age property.

• If the machine is not equipped with full chainshielding, operation must be stopped.• This shielding is designed to reduce the riskof thrown objects.

14 Operation MAN1078 (2/6/2014)

OPERATION

The designed and tested safety of this machinedepends on it being operated within the limitations asexplained in this manual. Be familiar with and follow allsafety rules in the manual, on the cutter and on thetractor.

The safe operation of this cutter is the responsibility ofthe operator, who must be properly trained. The opera-tor should be familiar with the equipment and all safetypractices before starting operation. Read the safetyinformation on page 7 through page 13.

Recommended tractor ground speed for most condi-tions is from 1 to 6 mph.

Always operate tractor PTO at 540 RPM.



Never allow children or untrained persons tooperate equipment. Do not allow bystanders in the area when oper-ating, attaching, removing, assembling, or servic-ing equipment. Make sure spring-activated locking pin or collarslides freely and is seated firmly in tractor PTOspline groove.

Stop power unit and equipment immediatelyupon striking an obstruction. Turn off engine,remove key, inspect, and repair any damage beforeresuming operation.


CONNECTING CUTTER TO TRACTOR

NOTICE■ For tractors with a 1-3/8" diameter PTO shaft,the horizontal distance from the end of the tractorPTO shaft to the center of drawbar pin should be14" for 540 RPM cutter. This will minimize jointknock and damage to drive components.

Figure 1. Cutter to Tractor Connection

1. Attach cutter using a 1-1/8" clevis pin and clip.

2. Attach safety tow chain to drawbar support. Leaveenough slack for turning (Figure 1).

3. Connect cutter driveline to tractor PTO shaft,making sure the spring-activated lock pin slidesfreely and is seated in tractor PTO splined groove.

4. Remove parking jack (3) from the tongue andattach it to the storage post on the front of the unit.

5. Place jack in storage position as shown in Figure 2.

��

��

CAUTION

(Rev. 8/13/2018)

Operation 15MAN1078 (2/6/2014)

Figure 2. Jack in Storage Position

Hydraulic Connection1. Inspect hydraulic hoses to ensure they are in good

condition.

2. Clean the fittings before connecting them to thetractor hydraulic ports.

3. Route the hose through the hose holder at thehitch and be sure the hose can slide freely in theholder. Do not allow hose slack to drag on theground or become caught on tractor protrusions.

4. Attach the hydraulic hose to the tractor.

5. From the operator position, start tractor and raiseand lower deck several times to purge trapped airfrom the hydraulic cylinder.

Interference Check1. Be sure that tractor 3-point lift links do not interfere

with hydraulic hoses, cutter driveline, or cutterframe.

2. Check for straight-ahead operation and at fullturning angles. If there is any interference, removethe lower lift links.

3. Contact between tractor lift links and cutter partscan cause damage, especially when turning.

CV Driveline Turning LimitsNOTICE

■ You must not exceed a turning angle of 80degrees at the head of the Constant Velocity drive-line or damage will occur.

1. To check for potential excessive turn angle,disconnect the driveline from tractor.

2. Start engine and turn as far right or left as possible.

3. Shut engine off and try to connect CV driveline totractor. If it cannot be connected, the turn angle istoo severe.

4. Restart engine and straighten angle slightly, shutoff engine and try to connect CV driveline to tractor.

5. Repeat the process until the driveline can beconnected. The point at which the driveline can beconnected is the maximum turn that should bemade.

Cutting Height Adjustment

NOTICE■ Avoid ground contact with blades. Strikingground with blades produces one of the most dam-aging shock loads a cutter can encounter. If thisoccurs repeatedly, the cutter, driveline, and gear-boxes will be damaged.

Cutting height range is from 2" to 12".

When selecting a cutting height, you should considerthe area of operation. If the ground is rolling and hasmounds the blades could contact, set the cutting heightaccordingly. The cutting height (blade edge) is approxi-mately 1" above the bottom of the side skid.

Cutting Height (Normal Mowing) - Center Section

NOTE: Cutter is set at factory for tires that itshipped with and a 16.5" tractor drawbar height.The adjustment is only needed for different draw-bar height or to change shredding amount, andshould be verified upon delivery.

1. Position the cutter on a hard level surface andselect an approximate cutting height, Example 6".

2. Raise wings and lock them in the UP position.

3. Raise or lower the center section to obtain adistance of 5" from bottom edge of skid shoe to theground.

4. Loosen jam nuts on the attitude rod that runs fromthe wheel yoke to the tongue.

5. Adjust rod in or out until the rear of the cutter isapproximately 1/2" higher than the front.

6. Tighten jam nuts against sleeve.

16 Operation MAN1078 (2/6/2014)

Cutting Height (Normal Mowing) - Wings

NOTE: Cutter is adjusted at factory for wings toremain parallel to center frame through full range ofcut.

1. Lower wings to normal mowing position.

2. Loosen the jam nut on the adjustable link (turnbuckle).

3. Lengthening the link will raise the wing, shorteningthe link will lower the wing. The rear edge of thewing should be parallel to the ground.

When using the cutter to shred, the rear of the cutterdeck should be approximately 1/2" to 1" lower than thefront.

TRACTOR OPERATIONUse care when operating around tree limbs and otherlow objects. Avoid being knocked off tractor and beinginjured.

Only use a tractor with a Roll Over Protection Structure(ROPS) and seat belt. Securely fasten seat belt.

The cutter is operated with tractor controls. Engage thePTO at a low rpm to prevent excessive loads on thecutter drive system. Increase throttle to recommendedPTO operating RPM.

Be sure operator is familiar with all controls and canstop tractor and cutter quickly in an emergency. Theoperator should give complete, undivided attention tooperating tractor and cutter.

CUTTER OPERATIONWhen beginning operation of the cutter, make sure thatall persons are in a safe location.

Power for operating the cutter is supplied by the tractorPTO. Operate PTO at 540.

Know how to stop the tractor and cutter quickly in anemergency.

Engage PTO at a low engine, RPM to minimize stresson the drive system and gearbox.

With PTO engaged, raise PTO speed to 540 and main-tain throughout cutting operation.

Gearbox protection is provided by a slip clutch withreplacement fiber disc. The slip clutch is designed toslip when excessive torsional loads occur.

Move slowly into material. Adjust tractor ground speedto provide a clean cut without lugging the tractorengine.

Use a slow ground speed for better shredding.

Proper ground speed will depend on the terrain and thematerial’s height, type, and density.

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 groundspeed.

Always operate tractor PTO at proper 540 RPM tomaintain blade speed and to produce a clean cut.

Under certain conditions tractor tires may roll downsome grass and prevent cutting at the same height asthe surrounding area. When this occurs, reduce yourground speed but maintain PTO at 540 RPM. Thelower ground speed will permit grass to rebound par-tially.

Mowing Tips

Look down and to the rear and make sure areais clear before operating in reverse.


Do not stop, start, or change directions sud-denly on slopes.

Use extreme care and reduce ground speed onslopes and rough terrain.

Watch for hidden hazards on the terrain duringoperation.

Stop power unit and equipment immediatelyupon striking an obstruction. Turn off engine,remove key, inspect, and repair any damage beforeresuming operation.

Maximum recommended ground speed for cutting orshredding is 6 miles per hour. Adjust tractor groundspeed by using higher or lower gears to provide a cleancut without lugging tractor engine.

Tall material should be cut twice. Cut material higherthe first pass. Cut at desired height at 90 degrees thesecond pass.

Remember, sharp blades produce cleaner cuts anduse less power.

Before entering an area, analyze it to determine thebest procedure. Consider the height and type of mate-rial to be cut and the terrain type (hilly, level or rough,etc.).

Before working underneath, disconnect drive-line from tractor, lower wings to ground, raise cut-ter, and pin transport bar in raised position. Attachparking jack and lower to ground. Securely blockall four corners of center section and each wingwith jack stands. Blocking up prevents the cutterfrom dropping due to hydraulic leak down, hydrau-lic system failure, or mechanical component fail-ure.

Service and maintenance work not covered inOWNER SERVICE must be done by a qualifieddealership. Special skills, tools, and safety proce-dures may be required. Failure to follow theseinstructions can result in serious injury or death.

Before cleaning, servicing, adjusting, repairingor unplugging, stop tractor engine, place all con-trols in neutral, set park brake, remove ignition key,and wait for all moving parts to stop.

Never perform service or maintenance withengine running.

If you do not understand any part of this manualand need assistance, see your dealer.

Always wear relatively tight and belted clothingto avoid entanglement in moving parts. Wearsturdy, rough-soled work shoes and protectiveequipment for eyes, hair, hands, hearing, and head;and respirator or filter mask where appropriate.

BLOCKING METHOD

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, turnoff engine, remove key, and disconnect drivelinefrom tractor PTO.

Never go underneath equipment (lowered to theground or raised) unless it is properly blocked andsecured. Never place any part of the body under-neath equipment or between moveable parts evenwhen the engine has been turned off. Hydraulicsystem leak down, hydraulic system failures,mechanical failures, or movement of control leverscan cause equipment to drop or rotate unexpect-edly and cause severe injury or death. Follow Oper-ator's Manual instructions for working underneathand blocking requirements or have work done by aqualified dealer.

Do not position jackstands under wheels, axles, orwheel supports. Components can rotate and causecutter to fall.

1. Jackstands with a load rating of 1000 lbs. or moreare the only approved blocking device for thiscutter. Install jackstands (shown by Xs in Figure 6)under the cutter before working underneath unit.

2. Consider the overall stability of the blocked unit.Just placing jackstands underneath will not ensureyour safety.

The working surface must be level and solid tosupport the weight on the jackstands. Make surejackstands are stable, both top and bottom. Makesure cutter is approximately level.

3. With full cutter weight lowered onto jackstands, testblocking stability before working underneath.

4. If cutter is attached to tractor when blocking, setthe brakes, remove key, and block cutter beforeworking underneath.

5. Securely block rear tractor wheels, in front andbehind.

Figure 6. Jackstand Placement and Lubrication Points

LUBRICATION Do not let excess grease collect on or around parts,particularly when operating in sandy areas.

See Figure 6 for lubrication points and frequency forlubrication based on normal operating conditions.Severe or unusual conditions may require more fre-quent lubrication.

Use a lithium grease of #2 consistency with a MOLY(molybdenum disulfide) additive for all locations unlessotherwise noted. Be sure to clean fittings thoroughlybefore attaching grease gun. One good pump of mostguns is sufficient when the lubrication schedule is fol-lowed.

Gearbox LubricationFor gearbox, use a high quality gear oil with a viscosityindex of 80W or 90W and an API service rating of GL–

4 or –5 in gearboxes. Fill gearbox until oil runs out theside plug on gearbox. Check gearbox daily for evi-dence of leakage, and contact your dealer if leakageoccurs. Use sealant on vent plug threads during instal-lation. Check vent plug periodically and clean if it doesnot relieve pressure.

Driveline Lubrication1. Lubricate the driveline slip joint every eight

operating hours. Failure to maintain properlubrication could result in damage to U-joints,gearbox, and driveline.

2. Lower cutter to ground, disconnect driveline fromtractor PTO shaft, and slide halves apart but do notdisconnect from each other.

3. Apply a bead of grease completely around malehalf where it meets female half. Slide drive halvesover each other several times to distribute grease.

SHIELDING REPAIR



Repairing Chain Shielding:

1. Inspect chain shielding each day of operation andreplace any broken or missing chains as required.

2. Replace any missing hardware.

SERVICING TIRES SAFELYUsed Aircraft Tires (Figure 10)

Do not attempt to mount a tire unless you have theproper equipment and experience to perform the job.

Always maintain the correct tire pressure. Do not inflatetires above the recommended pressure. Never weld orheat a wheel and tire assembly. The heat can cause anincrease in air pressure and result in a tire explosion.Welding can structurally weaken or deform the wheel.

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 safetycage if available.

Check wheels for low pressure, cuts, bubbles, dam-aged rims, or missing lug bolts and nuts.

Never remove split rim assembly hardware (A) with thetire inflated.

Figure 10. Split Rim Tire Servicing

CLEANING

After Each Use● Remove large debris such as clumps of dirt, grass,

crop residue, etc. from machine.

● Inspect machine and replace worn or damagedparts.

● Replace any safety decals that are missing or notreadable.

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 waterspray.

1. Be careful when spraying near scratched or tornsafety decals or near edges of decals as waterspray can peel decal off surface.

2. Be careful when spraying near chipped orscratched paint as water spray can lift paint.

3. If a pressure washer is used, follow the adviceof the pressure washer manufacturer.

● Inspect machine and replace worn or damagedparts.

● Sand down scratches and the edges of areas ofmissing paint and coat with Woods spray paint ofmatching color (purchase from your Woodsdealer).

DEALER SERVICE

The information in this section is written for dealer ser-vice personnel. The repair described here requiresspecial skills and tools. If your shop is not properlyequipped or your mechanics are not properly trained inthis type of repair, you may be time and money aheadto replace complete assemblies.

Before working underneath, read manualinstructions, securely block up, and check stability.Secure blocking prevents equipment from drop-ping due to hydraulic leak down, hydraulic systemfailure, or mechanical component failure.



GEARBOX MAINTENANCE

NOTE: Read this entire section before starting anyrepair. Many steps are dependent on each other.

1. Fill gearbox with SAE 80W or 90W gear lube.Proper oil level is between lowest ring and end ofdipstick.

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 becorrected immediately.

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

Seal Replacement (Figure 12)

Recommended sealant for gearbox repair isPermatex® Aviation 3D Form-A-Gasket or equivalent.

Leakage can occur at the vertical or horizontal gasketsand shaft seals.

Leakage at the horizontal gasket or seal can berepaired without removing the gearbox from the cutter.

Seal Installation

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. Removeany burrs or nicks with an emery cloth.

3. Lubricate gear shaft and seal lips.

4. Place seal squarely on housing, spring-loaded liptoward housing. Select a piece of pipe or tubingwith an OD that will sit on the outside edge of theseal but will clear the housing. Tubing with an ODthat is too small will bow seal cage and ruin seal.

5. Carefully press seal into housing, avoidingdistortion to the metal seal cage.
