Woods Equipment BB48X Driveline Interference Check, Cutting Height Adjustment, Shredding Material

8.File and clean cut ends of both drive halves.

Do not use tractor if proper driveline engagement can- not be obtained through these methods.

Connect driveline to tractor PTO shaft, making sure the spring-activated locking collar slides freely and locks driveline to PTO shaft.

NOTICE

If attaching with quick hitch, the distance between the tractor PTO and gearbox input shaft will increase. Please follow the steps as you would for a 3-point hitch to insure proper engagement.

DRIVELINE INTERFERENCE CHECK

1.Check for clearance between driveline and cutter deck.

2.Slowly lift cutter and observe driveline. If clearance between driveline and cutter deck is less than 1 inch, shorten top link or limit upper travel of lower hitch arms. Refer to tractor operator's manual for instructions.

CUTTING HEIGHT ADJUSTMENT

Keep all persons away from operator control area while performing adjustments, service, or maintenance.

1.Level cutter from side to side. Check by measuring from cutter frame to the ground at each deck rail.

2.Adjust, using tractor 3-point arm leveling device.

NOTE: Keep the front of cutter slightly lower than rear for best mowing.

3.Control cutting height with tractor 3-point arms, rear tailwheel adjustment, or optional check chains.

4.To raise rear of cutter, move tailwheel arm down.

5.To raise front of cutter, raise tractor 3-point arms or shorten optional check chains.

The cutting height is the distance between the blade and the ground. The blades are approximately 8.5" below the deck. To check cutting height, do the follow- ing:

a)Place a straight edge along top edge of deck.

b)Select a cutting height; as an example, for an approximate cutting height of 3", set the center of the deck 11.5" above the ground:

3" Desired cutting height

+8.5" Distance blade cutting edge is below deck

=11.5"

c)Adjust the front-to-rear attitude from 1/2" to 3/4" higher than the front.

6.Adjust top link (BB60X, BB72X, BB84X) to provide 2" of clearance between break link (2) and rear lift links. See Figure 10. The clearance will allow cutter to float over uneven terrain.

Avoid low cutting heights. Striking the ground with blades produces one of the most damaging

SHREDDING MATERIAL

shock loads a cutter can encounter. Allowing blades to contact ground repeatedly will cause damage to cutter and drive.

For shredding, set the cutter lower at rear. Determine how much lower to set the rear by experimenting in dif- ferent situations.
