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! (Safety Rules continued from previous page) Keep bystanders away from equipment. 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.
SAFETY RULES ATTENTION! BECOME ALERT! YOUR SAFETY IS INVOLVED! 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. Use care when installing or removing belt from spring-loaded idler. Springs store energy when extended and, if released suddenly, can cause personal injury. Make sure all safety decals are installed. Replace if damaged.
SAFETY & INSTRUCTIONAL DECALS ATTENTION! BECOME ALERT! YOUR SAFETY IS INVOLVED! Replace Immediately If Damaged! DANGER DANGER 1 - 15503 SHIELD MISSING DO NOT OPERATE PUT SHIELD ON 2 - 18867 18867--B ROTATING BLADES AND THROWN OBJECTS Do not put hands or feet under or into mower when MODEL NO. SERIAL NO. engine is running. Before mowing, clear area of objects that may be Woods Equipment Company Oregon, Illinois, U.S.A. thrown by blade. Keep bystanders away.
SAFETY & INSTRUCTIONAL DECALS ATTENTION! BECOME ALERT! YOUR SAFETY IS INVOLVED! Replace Immediately If Damaged! WARNING WARNING DO NOT EXCEED PTO SPEED OF 540 RPM PTO speeds higher than 540 RPM can cause equipment failure and personal injury. 18866-D FALLING OFF CAN RESULT IN BEING RUN OVER. Tractor must be equipped with ROPS (or ROPS CAB) and seat 4 - 18866 belt. Keep foldable ROPS systems in “locked up” position at all times. Buckle Up! Keep seat belt securely fastened.
OPERATION The operator is responsible for the safe operation of the mower. The operator must be properly trained. Operators should be familiar with the mower, the tractor, and all safety practices before starting operation. Read the safety rules and safety decals on 5 to 9. This mower is designed for lawn and grass mowing. It is not designed for rough conditions or heavy weed mowing. It is equipped with suction type blades for best results in lawn mowing.
1. Attach the mower hitch pins to the lower tractor lift arms and secure. 2. Attach tractor top link (1), Figure 2, to mower top link bracket attachment point A. Connect the driveline to the tractor PTO shaft. CUTTING HEIGHT ADJUSTMENT WARNING Keep all persons away from operator control area while performing adjustments, service, or maintenance. IMPORTANT ■ Avoid low cutting heights. Striking the ground with blades produces one of the most damaging shock loads a mower can encounter.

Figure 8. Front Caster Arm Configuration for PRD6000 & PRD7200 Only FRONT CASTER WHEEL INTERFERENCE CHECK IMPORTANT ■ Do not operate tractor and mower until this interference check has been performed. If you change tractors, you must perform the check for that mounting. 2. Pivot both front caster wheels forward and check that there is clearance between caster wheels and tractor tires. 3. If there is interference on models PRD6000 and PRD7200, mount front casters in the outer position.
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. Uneven Terrain WARNING Do not operate or transport on steep slopes. Do not stop, start, or change directions suddenly on slopes.
OWNER PRE-OPERATION CHECK LIST (OWNER'S RESPONSIBILITY) ___ Review and follow all safety rules and safety decal instructions on pages 5 to 9. ___ Check that all safety decals are installed and in good condition. Replace if damaged. ___ Check that all shields and guards are properly installed and in good condition. Replace if damaged. ___ Check that chain shielding is in good condition and replace any damaged chain links. ___ Check that all hardware and cotter pins are properly installed and secured.

Figure 13. Belt Routing BELT SERVICE Belt Replacement One of the major causes of belt failure is improper installation. Before installing a new belt, check the following: 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 nonflammable, non-toxic degreasing agent or commercial detergent and water. 5.
Blade Installation 1. Remove blades. CAUTION Your dealer can supply genuine replacement blades. Substitute blades may not meet original equipment specifications and may be dangerous. 2. Always sharpen both ends at the same time to maintain balance. 3. Follow original sharpening pattern. 4. Do not sharpen blade to a razor edge. Leave from 1/32" to 1/16" blunt edge. 5. Do not sharpen back side. CHAIN SHIELDING DANGER 1. Spindle assembly 2. Blade 3. 1/2 NC x 1-1/2 HHCS GR5 4.
TROUBLE SHOOTING MOWING CONDITIONS PROBLEM Grass cut higher in center of swath than at edge Grass cut lower in center of swath than at edge Streaking conditions in swath Material discharges from mower unevenly; bunches of material along swath POSSIBLE CAUSE SOLUTION Height of mower higher at front than at rear Adjust mower height and attitude so that mower rear and front are within 1/2 inch of same height. See instructions on page 11. Loose blade Check blade hardware.
TROUBLE SHOOTING BELT CONDITIONS PROBLEM Belt slippage POSSIBLE CAUSE SOLUTION Mower overloading; Material too tall or heavy Reduce tractor ground speed but maintain full PTO rpm. Cut material twice, one high pass and then mow at desired height. Cut at 90 degrees to first pass. Oil on belt from over lubrication Be careful not to overlubricate. Clean lubricant from belt and pulleys with clean rag. Replace oil-soaked belt. Belt hung up or rubbing Check belt position in pulleys and idlers.
DEALER SERVICE The information in this section is written for dealer service personnel. The repair described here requires special skills and tools. If your shop is not properly equipped or your mechanics are not properly trained in this type of repair, you may be time and money ahead to replace complete assemblies. WARNING Before working underneath, read manual instructions, securely block up, and check stability.
Spindle Assembly Refer to Figure 17. Bearing cones and cups are designed to work together. It is important to position them so bearing cone taper mates with cup taper. 1. Lubricate new cups with a light oil. Place them in spindle housing so they will mate with bearing cones. Cups and cones are a press fit to minimize wear. Seat cups securely with a press or place a large drift in the flat lip and drive them into housing until cup seats against machined shoulder of housing.
