Woods Equipment S15CD, S22CD, S20CD Attaching Shredder to Tractor, With Quick Hitch Attachment

„Keep bystanders away from equipment.

1.Clear the area of all bystanders.

2.Attach the 3-point hitch to the unit but not the PTO driveline.

3.Raise the unit until the tractor PTO and gearbox shafts are the same height.

4.Measure the dimension between the shaft grooves on the tractor and implement ends. If this dimension is less than 34.81 inches, the shaft will require shortening.

5.Move the unit to its highest and lowest working position and measure this dimension again. [The unit’s shaft can telescope (see Figure 6) before it has been shortened.]

6.If required, shorten the shaft to prevent bottoming out during use. NOTE: An extra inch of compression space in the shaft can eliminate bottoming out during use. Measure to make sure.

7.Use an abrasive wheel power saw to cut the male end of the shaft. Cut the same amount from both the splined shaft and the safety shield. See Figure 5. Use a file to remove any burrs from the cut end.

NOTICE

■Cut only the male end. Never cut the female end.

8.Never cut more than 9 inches from the male end. Cutting 1 inch from the male end shortens both the minimum and maximum lengths by 1 inch.

ATTACHING SHREDDER TO TRACTOR

1.Place unit on a level, dry area free of debris and other foreign object.

„Keep bystanders away from equipment.

„Connect PTO driveline directly to power unit PTO shaft. Never use adapter sleeves or adapter shafts. Adapters can cause driveline failures due to incorrect spline or incorrect operating length and can result in personal injury or death.

2.Clear the area of bystanders, especially children.

3.Provide enough clearance to back the tractor safely into the unit.

CAUTION

■Do not allow anyone to stand between tractor and unit when backing up to the unit.

With Quick Hitch Attachment:

4.Set the height of the 3-point hitch so that quick hitch claws are lower than the mounting pins.

5.Make sure 3-point hitch is set in the non-sway position. See tractor manual for details.

6.Align the claws under the lower and upper mast mounting pins while backing up.

NOTE: For a Category II hitch, use the bottom upper mast hole. For a Category III hitch, use the top upper mast hole.

7.When the claws are under the pins, slowly raise the 3-point hitch. Make sure each mounting pin seats in its respective claw.

8.Release the claw retainer locks to secure the mounting pins in the claws.

9.Check the top link frame. It should be free to slide in its mounting slots. This movement allows the unit to follow the ground contour when cresting a hill or going through a depression.
