MAN0260 (Rev. 1/12/2007)
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 preven tion 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.
TRAINING
Safety instructions are important! Read all attachment and power unit manuals; follow all safety rules and safety decal information. (Replace ment manuals and safety decals are available from your dealer. To locate your nearest dealer, check the Dealer Locator at www.WoodsEquipment.com, or in the United States and Canada call 1-800-319-
6637.) Failure to follow instructions or safety rules can result in serious injury or death.
Know your controls and how to stop engine and attachment quickly in an emergency.
If you do not understand any part of this manual and need assistance, see your dealer.
Operators must be instructed in and be capable of the safe operation of the equipment, its attach ments, and all controls. Do not allow anyone to operate this equipment without proper instruc tions.
Never allow children or untrained persons to operate equipment.

NOTICE
■ Avoid low cutting heights. Striking the ground with blades produces 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 distance from mower frame to the ground at each deck rail.
2.
Verify that the same amount of spacers are under all caster arms.
3.
Control cutting height by adjusting front and rear caster wheels.
4.
To raise rear of mower, move caster adjustment spacers under rear caster arms.

The RDC54 has two mower hitch plate attachment points (D). It may be necessary to change the mower hitch plate attachment point to obtain proper tire clear ance and/or lift height.
Front Caster Wheel Interference Check
NOTICE
■ 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.
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 16" at dimension C, Figure 5, 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 RDC54 model, adjust mower hitch plate point as shown in Figure 4. On model RD60 and RD72, the hitch plate is not adjustable; see tractor operator’s manual and adjust tractor wheels accordingly.
Figure 5 . Front Caster Wheel Interference Check
Front Roller (Optional)
The caster wheels 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 mini mize scalping. See page 40.
Operating Technique
CAUTION
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 the mower is supplied by the trac tor 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 when 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 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 main tain 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,
12 Operation
MAN0260 (Rev. 1/12/2007)
reduce your ground speed, but maintain PTO at 540 rpm. The lower ground speed will permit grass to par tially 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 growing seasons. Follow local recom mendations for the suitable cutting height in your area.
Operating Tips
WARNING
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. Remem ber, sharp blades produce cleaner cuts and require less power.
Analyze area to be cut to determine the best proce dure. 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.
Uneven Terrain
WARNING
Do not operate or transport on steep slopes.
Do not stop, start, or change directions sud denly on slopes.
Use extreme care and reduce ground speed on slopes and rough terrain.
Watch for hidden hazards on the terrain during operation.
Pass diagonally through sharp dips and avoid sharp drops to prevent hanging up tractor and mower. Prac tice will improve your skills in maneuvering rough ter rain.
Removing Mower from Tractor - Storage
Follow cleaning procedure, page 18.
1.
Disengage tractor PTO and raise mower with the
3-point hitch.
2.
Disconnect mower driveshaft from tractor PTO.
3.
Collapse driveshaft as far as possible and store it in PTO hanger bracket to prevent ground contact.
4.
Place blocks under mower side skids. Lower mower onto blocks, disconnect mower from tractor
3-point hitch, and carefully drive tractor away from mower.
WARNING
Keep children and bystanders away from stor age area.

solid to support the loaded weight of the jackstands.
Test jackstand stability before working under any por tion of the mower.
CAUTION
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.
WARNING
Never allow children or untrained persons to operate equipment.
Keep bystanders away from equipment.
Before working underneath, carefully read Oper ator’s Manual instructions, disconnect driveline, raise mower, securely block up all corners with jackstands, and check stability. Secure blocking prevents equipment from dropping due to hydrau li c l e ak down , hy dr a uli c sy s tem fai lu re s , or mechanical component failures.
Keep all persons away from operator control area while performing adjustments, service, or maintenance.
Make sure spring-activated locking pin or collar slides freely and is seated firmly in tractor PTO spline groove.
Operate tractor PTO at 540 RPM. Do not exceed.
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 minimize 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 devices for this mower are jackstands with a load rating of 1000 pounds or more.
One jackstand under each corner of the mower (four total) must be installed before working underneath this unit.
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

Lubrication Information
Do not let excess grease collect on or around parts, particularly when operating in sandy areas.
Figure 8 shows the lubrication points. The accompany ing chart gives the frequency of lubrication in operating hours, based on normal operating conditions.
Severe or unusual conditions may require more fre quent lubrication. Some reference numbers have more than one location; be sure you lubricate all locations.
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.
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 considered 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 40 operating hours. Failure to maintain proper lubrication could result in damage to U-joints, gearbox, and driveshaft.
1.
Lower mower to ground.

GEARBOX REPAIR
Read this entire section before starting any repair.
Many steps are dependent on each other.
Fill gearbox with SAE 80W or 90W gear lube until it runs out the side level plug.
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 economical to purchase a complete gearbox if repair to anything other than replacement of bearings, seals or gaskets is required.
Inspect gearbox for leakage and bad bearings.
Leakage is a very serious problem and must be cor rected immediately.
Bearing failure is indicated by excessive noise and side to side or end play in gear shafts.
Seal Replacement
Recommended sealant for gearbox repair is Perma tex
®
Aviation 3D Form-A-Gasket or equivalent.
Leakage can occur at the vertical or horizontal gaskets and shaft seals.
Leakage at the horizontal gasket or seal can be repaired without removing the gearbox from the mower.
Seal Installation
NOTE: Proper seal installation is important. An improp erly installed seal will leak.
1.
Clean area in housing where seal outer diameter
(OD) seats. Apply a thin coat of Permatex.
2.
Inspect area of shaft where seal seats. Remove any burrs or nicks with an emery cloth.
3.
Lubricate gear shaft and seal lips.
4.
Place seal squarely on housing, spring-loaded lip toward housing. Select a piece of pipe or tubing with an OD that will sit on the outside edge of the seal but will clear the housing. Tubing with an OD that is too small will bow seal cage and ruin seal.
5.
Carefully press seal into housing, avoiding distortion to the metal seal cage.
