1. Inspect hydraulic hoses to ensure they are in good
condition.
2. Clean the fittings before connecting them to the
tractor hydraulic ports.
3. Route hoses through hose holder on 3-point mast.
Be sure hoses can slide freely in holder. Do not
allow hose slack to drag on the ground or become
caught on tractor protrusions.
DRIVELINE ATTACHMENT
Attach the cutter to the tractor 3-point hitch (or quick
hitch if available). Do not attach driveline. Raise and
lower cutter to determine maximum and minimum dis-
tance between the tractor PTO shaft and the gearbox
input shaft. If the distance is too large, the driveline will
be too short for proper engagement. If distance is too
small, the driveline may bottom out in operation and
damage the cutter or tractor.
Driveline length must be sufficient to provide at least
1/3 driveline length of engagement during operation.
There must be at least 4 inches of engagement at the
cutters lowest possible point of operation. The driveline
must not bottom out when raised to the maximum
height possible.
If driveline is too short please call your Woods dealer
for a longer driveline.
If driveline is too long please follow the instructions for
shortening the driveline.
SHORTEN DRIVELINE
1. Move cutter up and down to get the shortest
possible distance between tractor PTO shaft and
gearbox input shaft.
2. Separate driveline into two halves and connect
them to the tractor PTO and gearbox.
3. Place driveline halves parallel to one another to
determine how much to shorten the driveline.
