SAFETY RULES ATTENTION! BECOME ALERT! YOUR SAFETY IS INVOLVED! Safety is a primary concern in the design and manufacture of our products. Unfortunately, our efforts to provide safe equipment can be wiped out by an operator’s single careless act. In addition to the design and configuration of equipment, hazard control and accident prevention are dependent upon the awareness, concern, judgement, and proper training of personnel involved in the operation, transport, maintenance and storage of equipment.
SAFETY RULES ATTENTION! BECOME ALERT! YOUR SAFETY IS INVOLVED! Do not operate or transport equipment while under the influence of alcohol or drugs. Operate only in daylight or good artificial light. Keep hands, feet, hair, and clothing away from equipment while engine is running. Stay clear of all moving parts. Always comply with all state and local lighting and marking requirements. Never allow riders on power unit or attachment.
installed securely to ensure equipment is in a safe condition before putting unit into service. ground, and system pressure is released by operating all valve control levers. Make sure all safety decals are installed. Replace if damaged. (See Safety Decals section for location.) Use a suitable lifting device of sufficient capacity. Use adequate personnel to handle heavy components. Make sure shields and guards are properly installed and in good condition. Replace if damaged.

SAFETY & INSTRUCTIONAL DECALS ATTENTION! BECOME ALERT! YOUR SAFETY IS INVOLVED! Replace Immediately If Damaged! 9 - 1033274 8 - 1033273 6 - 1033271 7 - 1033272 2 - 1033601 2 - 55922 BE CAREFUL! Use a clean, damp cloth to clean safety decals. Avoid spraying too close to decals when using a pressure washer; high-pressure water can enter through very small scratches or under edges of decals causing them to peel or come off.
OPERATION The operator is responsible for the safe operation of the snowblower. The operator must be properly trained. Operators should be familiar with the tractor, snowblower, and all safety practices before starting operation. Read through safety rules and decals on page 5 through page 9. 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.
The snowblower is mounted on a tractor 3-point hitch and driven by the tractor PTO. A centrally located gearbox directs power to the fan and auger. TRACTOR REQUIREMENTS 3-Point Hitch The SS snowblower requires the tractor to be equipped with a Category 2 or 3, three-point hitch. Hydraulic Circuit Either closed-center or open-center systems can be used for the hydraulic chute rotator and optional spout control.
dimension. If it is still less than 37.5", extend the hitch to mounting hole C. 7. Move the snowblower to the highest and lowest points of its operating range. Measure the distance between the lock groove on the tractor PTO shaft and the cross hole in the snowblower gearbox shaft at each point. The distance must not exceed 45.68". This dimension ensures a minimum of five inches of driveline telescoping engagement, which is required to prevent driveline failure and separation. 8.
Figure 3. Drive Halves Placed Parallel 4. Measure from end of upper shield to base of bell on the lower shield (A). Add 1-1/4" to dimension (A). Figure 6. Cut Shaft to Length 7. Repeat step 4 through 6 for other half of drive. 8. File and clean the cut ends of both drive halves. Ensure the drive halves slide smoothly together. Do not run tractor if proper driveline engagement cannot be obtained through these methods.
3. Before going to the work site, review "Transporting" section, page 15. 4. Position snowblower in a level area and lower into working position. 5. Starting Snowblower: ■ Be sure area is clear of all bystanders. ■ Run engine at low idle. ■ Slowly engage PTO control to start machine. ■ Slowly bring engine to rated PTO speed. Never exceed rated speed 6. Stopping Machine: ■ Slowly decrease engine speed to low idle.
NOTICE ■ Do not exceed 20 mph (32km/h). Reduce speed on rough roads and surfaces. When transporting snowblower, review and follow this procedure: ■ Be sure all bystanders are clear of machine. ■ Be sure that machine is securely attached to tractor and all retainer pins are installed. 5. Clevis Pin 8. Discharge Chute 9. Adjustment Strap Figure 8. Discharge Chute Position ■ Raise machine. ■ Do not allow riders. STORAGE WARNING ■ Keep bystanders away from equipment.
CLEANING After Each Use ■ Remove large debris such as clumps of dirt, grass, crop residue, etc. from machine. ■ Inspect machine and replace worn or damaged parts. ■ Replace any safety decals that are missing or not readable. Periodically or Before Extended Storage PRE-OPERATION CHECK LIST (OWNER'S RESPONSIBILITY) ___ Review and follow all safety rules and safety decal instructions on pages page 5 through page 9. ___ Check that all safety decals are installed and in good condition. Replace if damaged.
OWNER SERVICE The information in this section is written for operators who possess basic mechanical skills. Should you need help, your dealer has trained service technicians available. For your protection, read and follow all safety information in this manual. 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.
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. Driveline Shear Bolt Replacement PTO drivelines are equipped with shear bolts to protect against overloads.
Auger Drive Shear Bolt Replacement Gearbox ■ The gearbox is almost maintenance-free, but should be checked quarterly to be sure that the oil level is maintained at half full. A high quality gear oil with a viscosity index of 80W or 90W and an API service rating of GL-4 or -5 is recommended for use in the gearbox. Oil should be changed after the first 30 hours or 30 days of operating. Then, normal change should be adequate.
Skid Shoes PTO Driveline Guard The machine is equipped with skid shoes on the back side of housing under the hitch frame to prevent wearing the frame and provide depth control. They should be checked occasionally for wear and replaced if required. The shield must turn freely on PTO shaft. Daily lubrication of both shield bearings and periodic cleaning will ensure safe operation of the shield. If shield is damaged or worn, replace components with genuine Woods service parts.
TROUBLE SHOOTING PROBLEM PROBLEM CAUSES SUGGESTED SOLUTION PTO Shaft shear bolt continues to shear PTO shaft at too great an angle. Do not exceed a 15 degree angle at PTO shaft. PTO shear bolt is too soft. Use a grade 5 shear bolt. (GKN) Tilt on the snowblower is too great causing an excessive knuckle angle. Reduce tilt on snowblower by adjusting top link or upper 3point arm. Tractor ground speed is too fast. Reduce ground speed to allow augers to clear better. Insufficient fan speed.
ASSEMBLY INSTRUCTIONS DEALER SET-UP INSTRUCTIONS Assembly of this snowblower is the responsibility of the Woods dealer. It should be delivered to the owner completely assembled, lubricated and adjusted for normal conditions. The snowblower 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 33. Select a suitable working area.
2. Attach control box in tractor operator area. Attach end to a power source and ground on the tractor, (see tractors operator’s manual). 5. 14. 15. 16. Cable Tie Actuator 1/4 NC x 1-1/2 HHCS 1/4 NC Lock Nut Figure 18.
