Owner Service 19 - Woods DBH5.31 Operator's Manual

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.
■
For service and adjustments, lower center
frame and cutter head to ground and disconnect
cutter driveline from tractor PTO. Raise as needed
for working room and securely block all sections of
this equipment before working underneath. Block-
ing up prevents cutter dropping from hydraulic
leak down, hydraulic system failures, or mechani-
cal component failures.
■
When transporting the machine or working on
the underside, attach lock-up bar as shown on
page 18.
 Make sure shields and guards are properly
installed and in good condition. Replace if damaged.
 Do not disconnect hydraulic lines until machine
is securely blocked or placed in lowest position
and system pressure is released by operating
valve levers.
 Operate tractor PTO at 540 RPM (1000 RPM on Q
Series cutters). Do not exceed.

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.
LUBRICATION
■
Lower cutter head to ground, shut off tractor
engine and remove key before servicing.
Do not let excess grease collect on or around parts,
particularly when operating in sandy areas.
Figure 3 shows the lubrication points. The chart gives
the frequency in operating hours based on normal
operating conditions. Severe or unusual conditions
may require more frequent lubrication. Some reference
numbers have more than one location; be sure to
check number of points.
Use an SAE multi-purpose type grease. Be sure to
clean fitting thoroughly before using grease gun.
Use a good quality 90W gear lube in gearboxes.
