If mower becomes plugged causing belt to slip for over two seconds follow these steps: 1. Maneuver equipment into a previously cut area and allow mower to clear accumulated material. 2. Continue running at least two minutes, allowing pulleys to cool. Stopping the mower in contact with a very hot pulley will bake and ruin belt.

BELT SERVICE Belt Replacement One of the major causes of belt failure is improper installation. Before installing a new belt, check the fol- lowing: 1. Check pulley shafts and bearings for wear. 2. Check pulley grooves for cleanliness. 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.
Inspect machine and replace worn or damaged parts. ● Sand down scratches and the edges of areas of missing paint and coat with Woods spray paint of matching color (purchase from your Woods dealer). ● Replace any safety decals that are missing or not readable (supplied free by your Woods dealer).

with an OD that will sit on the outside edge of the seal but will clear the housing. Tubing with an OD that is too small will bow seal cage and ruin seal. 5. Carefully press seal into housing, avoiding distortion to the metal seal cage.
Gearbox Disassembly Refer to Figure 18. 1. Remove top cover (22) from housing. Turn gearbox upside down and pour out remaining gear oil from gearbox. 2. Remove oil cap (20) (to be replaced). 3. Remove snap ring (10) and shim (13) from input shaft (3).
19. Check gearbox housing for leaks by plugging all holes except one. Apply 4 psi compressed air and immerse the gearbox in water to verify that there are no leaks. 20. Remove gearbox from water and dry off with compressed air. Add SAE 80W or 90W EP oil until it runs out of side level hole.
3. Clamp cup in vise as shown in Figure 25 and tap on yoke to completely remove cup from yoke. Repeat Step 2 and Step 3 for opposite cup. Figure 25 Figure 26 4. Place universal cross in vise as shown in Figure 26 and tap on yoke to remove cup.
