WARNING

A minimum 20% of tractor and equipment weight must be on the
tractor front wheels when attachments are in transport position. Without
this weight, front tractor wheels could raise up resulting in loss of steer-
ing. The weight may be attained with front wheel weights, ballast in tires,
front tractor weights or front loader. Weigh the tractor and equipment. Do
not estimate.
Tractor Adjustments
Before attaching tractor to cutter, install sway blocks or sway chains, or adjust
stabilizer bars. Refer to the tractor operator's manual for instructions.
Install tractor front end weights as recommended by the tractor manufacturer to
provide 20% of weight on front wheels.

DRIVELINE ATTACHMENT
(Mounted DS8.30E & DS10.40E)
Attach the cutter to the tractor 3-point hitch (or quick hitch if available). Do not
attach driveline at this time.
NOTICE
■
If attaching cutter using a Quick Hitch the distance between the
tractor PTO and the gearbox input shaft will increase. Follow steps as you
would for the 3-point hitch to insure proper engagement.
Raise and lower cutter and measure the maximum and minimum distance
between the tractor PTO shaft and the gearbox input shaft. Separate the drive-
line into two halves and lay them side-by-side with U-joints at opposite ends.
Set the two u-joints at the maximum distance measures (this is the cutters low-
est point of operation) and check the amount of overlap between the two drive
halves. There must be at least 101.6 mm (4 inches) of overlap. If the driveline
is too short (less than 101.6 mm (4") overlap) contact your Woods dealer for a
longer drive.
