WARNING
■ Safety instructions are important! Read all
attachment and power unit manuals; follow
all safety rules and safety decal information.
(Replacement manuals and safety decals are
available from your dealer. To locate your near-
est dealer, check the Dealer Locator at www.
WoodsEquipment.com, or in the United States
and Canada call 1-800-319-6637.) Failure to fol-
low instructions or safety rules can result in
serious injury or death.
■ Before dismounting power unit or perform-
ing any service or maintenance, follow these
steps: disengage power to equipment, lower

gine, remove key, and unfasten seat belt.
■ NEVER GO UNDERNEATH EQUIPMENT. Never
place any part of the body underneath equip-
ment or between moveable parts even when the
engine has been turned off. Hydraulic system
leak-down, hydraulic system failures, mechan-
ical failures, or movement of control levers can
cause equipment to drop or rotate unexpectedly
and cause severe injury or death.

to avoid entanglement in moving parts. Wear
sturdy, rough-soled work shoes and protec-
tive equipment for eyes, hair, hands, hearing,
and head; and respirator or filter mask where
appropriate.
■ Tighten all bolts, nuts, and screws to Bolt Torque
Chart specifications. Check that all cotter pins
are installed securely to ensure equipment is in
a safe condition before putting unit into service.
SERVICE AND MAINTENANCE
INTERVALS
By following a careful service and maintenance pro-
gram, you will prolong the life of your machine.
The service intervals recommended are based on nor-
mal operating conditions. Severe or unusual conditions
may require more frequent service.
Lubrication Information
1. Do not let excess grease collect on or around parts,
particularly when operating in sandy areas.
2. Use a hand-held grease gun for all greasing.
3. Use a lithium grease of #2 consistency with a MOLY
(molybdenum disulfide) additive for all locations
unless otherwise noted. Be sure to clean fittings
thoroughly before attaching grease gun.
4. If grease fitting will not take grease, remove and
clean thoroughly. Also clean lubricant passage way.
Replace fitting if necessary.
5. Two good pumps of most grease guns is sufficient
when the lubrication schedule is followed.
Driveline Lubrication
1. Lubricate the driveline slip joint every 8 hours of op-
eration. Failure to maintain proper lubrication could
result in damage to u-joints, gearbox, and driveline.
2. Lower snow blower to ground, disconnect driveline
from tractor PTO shaft, and slide halves apart. Do
not disconnect the halves from each other.
3. Apply a bead of grease completely around male half
where it meets female half. Slide drive halves over
each other several times to distribute grease.
4. Apply one pump of grease to each driveline u-joint
grease fitting.
5. Apply one pump of grease to each of the plastic
driveline shield bearings.
6. On the shear pin driveline, lubricate the shear yoke
with grease to prevent galling.
7. Periodically check the yokes on the front PTO.
Make sure the bolt and nut are tight and the yoke is
not moving on the gearbox shaft.
