DEALER SET-UP INSTRUCTIONS

Assembly of this cutter is the responsibility of the
WOODS dealer. It should be delivered to the owner
completely assembled, lubricated and adjusted for
normal conditions.
The cutter 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 68. All
bolts are grade 5 unless specified otherwise.
Select a suitable working area. Open parts boxes and
lay out parts and hardware to make location easy.
Refer to illustrations, accompanying text, parts lists and
exploded view drawings.
Complete the following Pre-Delivery and Delivery
check lists when assembly is complete.
Make sure spring-activated locking pin or collar
slides freely and is seated firmly in tractor PTO
spline groove.
Do not allow bystanders in the area when oper-
ating, attaching, removing, assembling, or servic-
ing equipment.
Make sure all safety decals are installed.
Replace if damaged. (See Safety Decals section for
location.)
Make sure shields and guards are properly
installed and in good condition. Replace if dam-
aged.

ASSEMBLY INSTRUCTIONS

ARNING
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.
Tighten all bolts, nuts, and screws to torque
chart specifications. Check that all cotter pins are
installed securely to ensure equipment is in a safe
condition before putting unit into service.
BLADE INSTALLATION
Do not handle blades with bare hands. Careless
or improper handling may result in serious injury.
Apply a liberal coating of NeverSeez® or equivalent to
blade pin and crossbar hole. Make sure blade is offset
away from deck, and cutting edge is toward direction of
crossbar rotation.
Install pin (9) through blade (8) and push up tightly
against crossbar (7). Install as many spacers (4, 5 & 6)
as possible, allowing enough space for keyhole plate
(3) to slide into groove of blade pin. Keyhole plate must
be installed with formed ears up as shown.
Insert lock clip (2) over keyhole plate and into blade pin
groove and secure with bolt (1). It will be necessary to
omit some or all of the spacers when installing optional
stump jumpers on the crossbar. When installation is
complete, blade should be snug, but still swivel on pin
without excessive force.
