ASSEMBLY

DEALER SET-UP INSTRUCTIONS

These instructions are for the assembly of the MD80 and D80. Many of the procedures apply to both units. When an instruction applies to a specific unit, the sec- tion heading will indicate which unit.

Assembly of this cutter is the responsibility of the WOODS dealer. It should be delivered to the owner completely assembled, lubricated and adjusted for nor- mal cutting conditions. Complete check lists when assembly is complete.

The cutter is shipped partially assembled. Assembly will be easier if components are aligned and loosely assembled before tightening hardware. Recommended torque values for hardware are located on page 58.

Select a suitable working area. Open parts boxes and lay out parts and hardware to make location easy. Refer to illustrations, accompanying text, parts lists and exploded view drawings.

WARNING

Make sure spring-activated locking pin or collar slides freely and is seated firmly in tractor PTO spline groove.

CAUTION

Always wear relatively tight and belted clothing to avoid getting caught 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.

Blade Installation (Figure 20)

Either place cutter on stands or hang to permit access to both top and bottom. Make sure cutter is secured to prevent it from falling.

Liberally coat blade pin and crossbar hole with Never- Seez® or equivalent. Make sure blade is offset away from deck and cutting edge is positioned for counter- clockwise rotation as viewed from top of deck.

Install blade pin (9) up through blade (8) then through hole in crossbar and push firmly against crossbar (7). Install as many spacers (4, 5 or 6) as possible and still be able to slide keyhole plate (3), with ears up as shown, into blade pin groove. Place blade pin clip (2) over keyhole plate and into blade pin groove. Secure with bolt (1). Repeat for opposite blade.

Blade should be snug but swivel on pin without exces- sive force. Retain any spacers not used in installation for use when blade wears or on future installations.
