Never allow riders on power unit or attachment.
MAINTENANCE
Before working underneath, carefully read Operator’s Manual instructions,
disconnect driveline, raise mower, securely block up all corners with jack-
stands, and check stability. Secure blocking prevents equipment from dropping
due to hydraulic leak down, hydraulic system failures, or mechanical compo-
nent failures.
Do not modify or alter or permit anyone else to modify or alter the equip-
ment or any of its components in any way.
Always wear relatively tight and belted clothing to avoid entanglement in
moving parts. Wear sturdy, rough-soled work shoes and protective equipment
for eyes, hair, hands, hearing, and head; and respirator or filter mask where
appropriate.
Never go underneath equipment (lowered to the ground or raised) unless
it is properly blocked and secured. Never place any part of the body under-
neath equipment or between moveable parts even when the engine has been
turned off. Hydraulic system leak down, hydraulic system failures, mechanical
failures, or movement of control levers can cause equipment to drop or rotate
unexpectedly and cause severe injury or death. Follow Operator's Manual
instructions for working underneath and blocking requirements or have work
done by a qualified dealer.
Make sure attachment is properly secured, adjusted, and in good operat-
ing condition.
Keep all persons away from operator control area while performing adjust-
ments, service, or maintenance.
Make certain all movement of equipment components has stopped before
approaching for service.
Frequently check blades. They should be sharp, free of nicks and cracks,
and securely fastened.
Do not handle blades with bare hands. Careless or improper handling may
result in serious injury.
Your dealer can supply genuine replacement blades. Substitute blades
may not meet original equipment specifications and may be dangerous.
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 condi-
tion before putting unit into service.
Make sure all safety decals are installed. Replace if damaged. (See Safety
Decals section for location.)
Make sure shields and guards are properly installed and in good condition.
Replace if damaged.
Wear gloves when installing belt. Be careful to prevent fingers from being
caught between belt and pulley.
Use care when installing or removing belt from spring-loaded idler. Springs
store energy when extended and, if released suddenly, can cause personal
injury.
STORAGE
Follow manual instructions for storage.
Keep children and bystanders away from storage area.
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.
It has been said, “The best safety device is an informed, careful operator.”
We ask you to be that kind of operator.

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 trac-
tor, and all safety practices before starting operation. Read the safety rules and
safety decals on pages 4 to 6.
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.
Recommended mowing speed for most conditions is from 3.2 to 8.0 km/h (2 to
5 mph).
Full chain or rubber shielding must be installed when operating in
populated areas or other areas where thrown objects could injure people
or damage property.
If this machine is not equipped with full chain or rubber shielding,
operation must be stopped when anyone comes within 300 feet (92
m).
This shielding is designed to reduce the risk of thrown objects.
The mower deck and protective devices cannot prevent all objects
from escaping the blade enclosure in every mowing condition.
It is
possible for objects to ricochet and escape, traveling as much as 300
feet (92 m).

CUTTING HEIGHT ADJUSTMENT
Keep all persons away from operator control area while performing
adjustments, service, or maintenance.
NOTICE
Avoid low cutting heights. Striking the ground with blades pro-
duces one of the most damaging shock loads a mower can encounter.
Allowing blades to contact ground repeatedly will cause damage to
mower and drive.
1.
Level mower from side to side. Check by measuring from mower frame to
the ground at each deck rail.
2.
Verify that the same amount of spacers are under all caster arms.
3.
Loosen cap screws that attach caster arm assembly to deck.
4.
Set mower on the ground.
5.
Retighten cap screws. This equalizes the clearance in the bolt holes.
6.
Adjust front of mower level with or slightly lower than the rear to obtain
best mowing results.
7.
Control cutting height by adjusting front and rear caster wheels.
8.
To raise rear of mower, move caster adjustment spacers under rear
caster arms, .
9.
To raise front of mower, move spacers under front caster wheel arms.

FRONT CASTER ARM CONFIGURATION
For PRD6000E & PRD7200E only
The front casters can be set in two positions. Figure 8 shows the two possible
configurations for the PRD6000E and PRD7200E front caster arms.
The inner position allows the outside edge of the mower to be used for
trimming under shrubs or fences.
The outer position provides the most clearance for rear tractor tire inter-
ference.
To change configurations, remove the cap screws and nuts and move the arms
from one side of the wheel rail to the other. Secure with same hardware.
The rear caster arms should be mounted as shown.
NOTE: The PRD8400E front caster arms are fixed and cannot be changed.

MAN1260 (4/09/2018)
Perform this check with all of the spacers and springs above the caster wheel
arm. This will place the caster wheels in their highest position and provide the
lowest cutting height for the mower.
1.
Raise mower with tractor hydraulics to 406.4 mm (16") at dimension C or
maximum height of tractor lift, whichever is less.
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 PRD6000E and PRD7200E, mount
front casters in the outer position. If interference continues, adjust mower
hitch plate (E) as shown in Figure 8.
NOTE: On model PRD8400E, caster wheel width is not adjustable; see tractor
operator's manual and adjust tractor wheels to narrower spacing.
FRONT ROLLER (OPTIONAL)
The caster wheels and side skids effectively reduce scalping in most cases.
However, you may encounter areas where the caster wheels and/or side skids
drop into depressions and allow center of the mower to contact ground and
scalp. An optional front roller may be installed to minimize scalping. See page
23.
OPERATING TECHNIQUE
Stop power unit and implement immediately upon striking an
obstruction. Dismount power unit, using proper procedure. Inspect and
repair any damage before resuming operation.
Power for operating mower is supplied by tractor PTO. Operate PTO at 540
rpm. Know how to stop tractor and mower quickly in an emergency.
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.
Proper ground speed will depend upon the terrain, the height, and type and
density of material to be cut.
Normally, ground speed will range from 3.2 to 8 Km/h (2 to 5 mph). Tall dense
material should be cut at a low speed; thin medium-height material can be cut
at a faster ground speed.
Always operate tractor PTO at 540 rpm to maintain proper blade speed and
produce a clean cut.
Under certain conditions, tractor tires may roll some grass down and prevent it
from being cut at the same height as the surrounding area. When this occurs,
reduce your ground speed, but maintain PTO at 540 rpm. The lower ground
speed will permit grass to partially rebound.
In general, lower cutting heights give a more even cut and leave less tire
tracks. However, it is better to cut grass frequently rather than too short. Short
grass deteriorates rapidly in hot weather and invites weed growth during grow-
ing seasons. Follow local recommendations for the suitable cutting height in
your area.
Operating Tips
Inspect and clear area of stones, branches, or other hard objects that
might be thrown, causing injury or damage.
Extremely tall material should be cut twice. Set mower at a higher cutting
height for the first pass. Then cut at desired height, 90 degrees to the first pass.
Remember, sharp blades produce cleaner cuts and require less power.
Analyze area to be cut to determine the best procedure. Consider height and
type of grass and terrain type: hilly, level, or rough.
Plan your mowing pattern to travel straight forward whenever possible. Mow
with uncut grass to the right. This will distribute the clippings over the cut area.
Operating on Uneven Terrain
Do not operate or transport on steep slopes.
Do not stop, start, or change directions suddenly on slopes.
Use extreme care and reduce ground speed on slopes and rough ter-
rain.
Watch for hidden hazards on the terrain during operation.
Pass diagonally through sharp dips and avoid sharp drops to prevent hanging

OWNER SERVICE
The information in this section is written for operators who possess basic
mechanical skills. If you need help, your dealer has trained service technicians
available. For your protection, read and follow the safety information in this
manual.
Never allow children or untrained persons to operate equipment.
Keep bystanders away from equipment.
Before working underneath, carefully read Operator’s Manual
instructions, disconnect driveline, raise mower, securely block up all cor-
ners with jackstands, and check stability. Secure blocking prevents
equipment from dropping due to hydraulic leak down, hydraulic system
failures, or mechanical component failures.
Keep all persons away from operator control area while performing
adjustments, service, or maintenance.
Operate tractor PTO at 540 RPM. Do not exceed.
Always wear relatively tight and belted clothing to avoid getting
caught 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.
BLOCKING METHOD
Do not work underneath mower unless it is properly attached to the tractor and
blocked securely. When properly attached, the unit will be anchored to mini-
mize front to rear movement.
Raise mower completely, set tractor brakes, turn engine off, remove key, block
tractor wheels front and rear, and disconnect mower driveline from tractor.
The only approved blocking device for this mower is a jackstand with a load rat-
ing of 454 kg (1000 lbs) or more. One jackstand under each corner of the
mower (four total) must be installed before working underneath.
When blocking, you must consider overall stability of the unit. Just blocking
under the unit will not ensure your safety. The working surface must be level
and solid to support the loaded weight of the jackstands. Test jackstands stabil-
ity before working under any portion of the mower.
Figure 11
. Blocking Method
LUBRICATION INFORMATION
Do not let excess grease collect on or around parts, particularly when operating
in sandy areas.
Figure 12 shows the lubrication points. The accompanying chart gives the fre-
quency of lubrication in operating hours, based on normal operating conditions.
Severe or unusual conditions may require more frequent lubrication. Some ref-
erence numbers have more than one location; be sure you lubricate all loca-
tions.
Use a lithium grease of #2 consistency with a MOLY (molybdenum disulfide)
additive for all locations. Be sure to clean fittings thoroughly before attaching
grease gun. When applied according to the lubrication chart, one good pump of
most guns is sufficient.
Fill blade spindles until grease purges out of the upper seal.
Use SAE 90W gear lube in the gearbox. Fill to plug on side of gearbox.
Check gearbox daily for evidence of leakage at both seals and the gasket
between the housing and cover. If leakage is noted, repair immediately. There
may be a small amount of lube emitted from the vent plug; this is not consid-
ered leakage.
Overfilling the gearbox will cause the excess gear lube to blow out vent plug
and ruin the belt.
Driveshaft Lubrication
Lubricate the driveshaft slip joint every 8 operating hours. Failure to maintain
proper lubrication could result in damage to U-joints, gearbox, and driveshaft.
1.
Lower mower to ground.
2.
Apply grease at three locations shown in Figure 12.
3.
Raise and lower mower several times to distribute grease.

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 non-flammable, non-toxic
degreasing agent or commercial detergent and water.
Avoid excessive force during installation. Do not use tools to pry belt into pulley
groove. Do not roll belt over pulleys to install. This can cause hidden damage
and premature belt failure.
Belt Installation
Figure 13.
Belt Routing
1.
Disconnect idler spring (H) from deck lug I.
2.
Slide belt under drive pulley A and over idler arm. Position belt around
drive pulley A.
3.
Loosen bolt holding belt guide G and swing it away from pulley B. Route
belt around pulley B, idler C and pulley D as shown.

Make sure belt is on drive pulley A, route around idler F, and connect idler
spring to lug I on deck.
5.
Grasp belt between spindle pulley E, spring loaded idler F and spindle
pulley D. Pull spring loaded idler with belt to obtain enough belt length to
route it over pulley E. Make sure spring-loaded idler pivots freely with belt
installed.
NOTICE
Use care when installing or removing belt from spring-loaded
idler at step 5. Springs store energy when extended and, if released sud-
denly, can cause personal injury.
6.
Adjust belt guide G to provide 1.6 to 3.2 mm (1/16" to 1/8") clearance
from belt. Tighten bolt to 115 N-m (85 lbs-ft).

blades will cause excessive vibration which can damage blade spindle
bearings. Vibration may also cause structural cracks in mower compo-
nents.
1.
Remove blades.
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 .8 to 1.6 mm (1/32" to
1/16") blunt edge.
5.
Do not sharpen back side.
Chain Shielding
Full chain or rubber shielding must be installed when operating in
populated areas or other areas where thrown objects could injure people
or damage property.
If this machine is not equipped with full chain or rubber shielding,
operation must be stopped when anyone comes within 300 feet (92
m).
This shielding is designed to reduce the risk of thrown objects.
The mower deck and protective devices cannot prevent all objects
from escaping the blade enclosure in every mowing condition.
It is
possible for objects to ricochet and escape, traveling as much as 300
feet (92 m).
Check that chain shielding is in good condition and replace any damaged chain
links.
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
Clean large debris such as clumps of dirt, grass, crop residue, etc. from
machine.
Remove the remainder using a low-pressure water spray.
1.
Be careful when spraying near scratched or torn safety decals or
near edges of decals as water spray can peel decal off surface.
2.
Be careful when spraying near chipped or scratched paint as water
spray can lift paint.
3.
If a pressure washer is used, follow the advice of the pressure
washer manufacturer.
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).

GEARBOX REPAIR
Read this entire section before starting any repair. Many steps are dependent
on each other.
Repair to this gearbox is limited to replacing bearings, seals, and gaskets.
Replacing gears, shafts, and a housing is not cost effective. It is more econom-
ical to purchase a complete gearbox if repair to anything other than replace-
ment of bearings, seals or gaskets is required.
Fill gearbox with SAE 80W or 90W gear lube until it runs out the side level plug.
Inspect gearbox for leakage and bad bearings.
Leakage is a very serious problem and must be corrected immediately.
Bearing failure is indicated by excessive noise and side to side or end play in
gear shafts.

Set gearbox on gearbox stand and fasten with bolts and nuts. Torque
bolts to 237 N-m (175 lbs-ft).
2.
Attach drive sheave to output shaft. Secure using castle nut and
hardware previously removed.
3.

DRIVE SHEAVE INSTALLATION
1.
When gear stand is installed on mower, dimension A (from the top of the
mower deck to the center line of the drive pulley) must be 61.9 ±.8 mm
(2-7/16" ±1/32"). This is a critical dimension and must be carefully
adjusted for proper belt life. Add or subtract shim washers under idler
pulley (3) to align with drive pulley (4).
2.
Tighten gear stand hardware.
3.
Fill gearbox half full with SAE 90W gear lube.
4.
Check level after waiting five minutes to permit lube to work through
bearings. Add lube, if necessary, until gearbox is half full.
5.
Replace driveline shield. Attach driveline to gearbox.

U-Joint Assembly
1.
Place seals securely on bearing cups. Insert cup into yoke from outside
and press in with hand pressure as far as possible. Insert journal cross
into bearing cup with grease fitting away from shaft. Be careful not to
disturb needle bearings. Insert another bearing cup directly across from
first cup and press in as far as possible with hand pressure.
2.
Trap cups in vise and apply pressure. Be sure journal cross is started into
bearings and continue pressure with vise, squeezing in as far as
possible. Tapping the yoke will help.
3.
Seat cups by placing a drift or socket (slightly smaller than the cup) on
cup and rap with a hammer. See Figure 27. Install snap ring and repeat
on opposite cup.
4.
Repeat Step 1 & Step 2 to install remaining cups in remaining yoke.
5.
Move both yokes in all directions to check for free movement. If
movement is restricted, rap on yokes sharply with a hammer to relieve
any tension. Repeat until both yokes move in all directions without
restriction.
