TRAINING
■This machine is capable of amputating hands
and feet and throwing objects. Failure to ob-
serve the following safety instructions could
result in serious injury or death.
■Safety instructions are important! Read all
attachment and power unit manuals; follow
all safety rules and safety decal information.
(Replacement 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.
■If you do not understand any part of this manual
and need assistance, see your dealer.
■Know your controls and how to stop engine and
attachment quickly in an emergency.
■Operators must be responsible, trained, familiar
with the instructions and be physically capa-
ble of the safe operation of the equipment, its
attachments, and all controls. Do not allow any-
one to operate this equipment without proper
instructions.
■Keep hands and body away from pressurized
lines. Use paper or cardboard, not hands or
other body parts to check for leaks. Wear safe-
ty goggles. Hydraulic uid under pressure can
easily penetrate skin and will cause serious in-
jury or death.
■Make sure that all operating and service person-
nel know that if hydraulic uid penetrates skin,
it must be surgically removed as soon as possi-
ble by a doctor familiar with this form of injury
or gangrene, serious injury, or death will result.
CONTACT A PHYSICIAN IMMEDIATELY IF FLUID
ENTERS SKIN OR EYES. DO NOT DELAY.
■Never allow children or untrained persons to op-
erate equipment.
PREPARATION
■Check that all hardware is properly installed.
Always tighten to Bolt Torque Chart specica-
tions unless instructed otherwise in this manual.
■Air in hydraulic systems can cause erratic opera-
tion and allows loads or equipment components
to drop unexpectedly. When connecting equip-
ment or hoses or performing any hydraulic
maintenance, purge any air in hydraulic sys-
tem by operating all hydraulic functions several
times. Do this before putting into service or al-
lowing anyone to approach the equipment.
■Route hydraulic hoses carefully to prevent dam-
age. Hoses must not be twisted, bent sharply,
kinked, frayed, pinched, or come into contact
with any moving parts. Operate moveable com-
ponents through full operational range to
check clearances. Replace any damaged hose
immediately.
■ Make sure all hydraulic hoses, ttings, and
valves are in good condition and not leaking
before starting power unit or using equipment.
Check and route hoses carefully to prevent
damage. Hoses must not be twisted, bent sharp-
ly, kinked, frayed, pinched, or come into contact
with any moving parts. Operate moveable com-
ponents through full operational range to
check clearances. Replace any damaged hoses
immediately.
■Always wear relatively tight and belted clothing
to avoid getting caught in moving parts. Wear
sturdy, rough-soled work shoes and protec-
tive equipment for eyes, hair, hands, hearing,
and head; and respirator or lter mask where
appropriate.
■Power unit must be equipped with Roll Over
Protection System (ROPS) or ROPS cab and
seat belt. Keep seat belt securely fastened.
Falling off power unit can result in death from
being run over or crushed. Keep foldable ROPS
system in “locked up” position at all times.
■Make sure attachment is properly secured, ad-
justed, and in good operating condition.
■Make sure all safety decals are installed.
Replace if damaged. (See Safety Decals section
for location.)
■Make sure shields and guards are proper-
ly installed and in good condition. Replace if
damaged.
Safety is a primary concern in the design and man-
ufacture 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 conguration of
equipment, hazard control and accident preven-
tion are dependent upon the awareness, concern,
judgement, and proper training of personnel in-
volved in the operation, transport, maintenance,
and storage of equipment.
It has been said, “The best safety device is an in-
formed, careful operator.” We ask you to be that
kind of operator.

(10/31/2023)
■Do not leave a running machine unattended.
Always park on level ground, disengage tractor
PTO, set parking brake, and stop engine.
■Make sure spring-activated locking pin or collar
slides freely and is seated rmly in tractor PTO
spline groove.
■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 steering. 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.
■Inspect and clear area of stones, branches, or
other hard objects that might be thrown, caus-
ing injury or damage.
TRANSPORTATION
■Always comply with all state and local lighting
and marking requirements.
■Do not operate PTO during transport.
■Do not operate or transport on steep slopes.
■Before dismounting power unit or perform-
ing any service or maintenance, follow these
steps: disengage power to equipment, lower
the 3-point hitch and all raised components to
the ground, operate valve levers to release any
hydraulic pressure, set parking brake, stop en-
gine, remove key, and unfasten seat belt.
OPERATION
■Never place hands or body into discharge chute
or auger to unclog. Stored energy can cause
auger to quickly rotate when unclogging occurs
and cause severe injury or amputation. Stop
engine, remove key, disconnect driveline, and
carefully unclog, using a sturdy piece of wood.
■Keep the area of operation clear of all bystand-
ers, particularly small children [within 300 ft (92
m)]. Stop the machine and attachments(s) if
anyone enters the area.
■Be alert and turn the machine off if children
enter the work area.
■Before and when backing, look behind for small
children.
■Never carry children while operating the ma-
chine. They may fall off and be seriously injured
or interfere with the safe operation of the
machine.
■Use extra care when approaching blind corners,
shrubs, trees, or other obstructions that might
hide children from sight.
■Never direct discharge toward people, animals,
or property. Rocks, snow, ice and other materials
can be thrown up to 300 feet during operation.
■Do not operate or transport equipment while
under the inuence of alcohol or drugs.
■ Operate only in daylight or good articial light.
■Keep hands, feet, hair, and clothing away from
equipment while engine is running. Stay clear of
all moving parts.
■Never allow riders on power unit or attachment.
■Power unit must be equipped with Roll Over
Protection System (ROPS) or ROPS cab and
seat belt. Keep seat belt securely fastened.
Falling off power unit can result in death from
being run over or crushed. Keep foldable ROPS
system in “locked up” position at all times.
■Always sit in power unit seat when operating
controls or starting engine. Securely fasten
seat belt, place transmission in neutral, engage
brake, and ensure all other controls are disen-
gaged before starting power unit engine.
■Operate tractor PTO at 540 RPM. Do not exceed.
■Connect PTO driveline directly to power unit
PTO shaft. Never use adapter sleeves or adapt-
er shafts. Adapters can cause driveline failures
due to incorrect spline or incorrect operating
length and can result in personal injury or death.
■Only engage power when equipment is at ground
operating level. Always disengage power when
equipment is raised off the ground.
■Look down and to the rear and make sure area is
clear before operating in reverse.
■Do not stop, start, or change directions sudden-
ly on slopes.
■Use extreme care and reduce ground speed on
slopes and rough terrain.

10 Operation MAN1369
(10/31/2023)
OPERATION
The operator is responsible for the safe operation of
the snow blower. The operator must be properly
trained. Operators should be familiar with the tractor,
snow blower, and all safety practices before starting
operation. Read through safety rules and decals on
page 5 through page 9.
■Safety instructions are important! Read all
attachment and power unit manuals; follow
all safety rules and safety decal information.
(Replacement manuals and safety decals are
available from your dealer. To locate your near-
est dealer, check the Dealer Locator at www.
WoodsEquipment.com, or in the United States
and Canada call 1-800-319-6637.) Failure to fol-
low instructions or safety rules can result in
serious injury or death.
■Operators must be responsible, trained, familiar
with the instructions and be physically capa-
ble of the safe operation of the equipment, its
attachments, and all controls. Do not allow any-
one to operate this equipment without proper
instructions.
■Power unit must be equipped with ROPS or
ROPS cab and seat belt. Keep seat belt secure-
ly fastened. Falling off power unit can result in
death from being run over or crushed. Keep
foldable ROPS system in “locked up” position
at all times.
■Do not allow bystanders in the area when op-
erating, attaching, removing, assembling, or
servicing equipment.
■Never allow children or untrained persons to op-
erate equipment.
■Never go underneath equipment (lowered to the
ground or raised) unless it is properly blocked
and secured. Never place any part of the body
underneath equipment or between moveable
parts even when the engine has been turned off.
Hydraulic system leak down, hydraulic system
failures, mechanical failures, or movement of
control levers can cause equipment to drop or
rotate unexpectedly and cause severe injury or
death. Follow Operator’s Manual instructions
for working underneath and blocking require-
ments or have work done by a qualied dealer.
■Keep bystanders away from equipment.
■Keep hands, feet, hair, and clothing away from
equipment while engine is running. Stay clear of
all moving parts.
■Never place hands or body into discharge chute
or auger to unclog. Stored energy can cause
auger to quickly rotate when unclogging occurs
and cause severe injury or amputation. Stop
engine, remove key, disconnect driveline, and
carefully unclog, using a sturdy piece of wood.
■Keep hands and body away from pressurized
lines. Use paper or cardboard, not hands or
other body parts to check for leaks. Wear safe-
ty goggles. Hydraulic uid under pressure can
easily penetrate skin and will cause serious in-
jury or death.
■Make sure that all operating and service person-
nel know that if hydraulic uid penetrates skin,
it must be surgically removed as soon as possi-
ble by a doctor familiar with this form of injury
or gangrene, serious injury, or death will result.
CONTACT A PHYSICIAN IMMEDIATELY IF FLUID
ENTERS SKIN OR EYES. DO NOT DELAY.
■Before dismounting power unit or perform-
ing any service or maintenance, follow these
steps: disengage power to equipment, lower
the 3-point hitch and all raised components to
the ground, operate valve levers to release any
hydraulic pressure, set parking brake, stop en-
gine, remove key, and unfasten seat belt.
■Make sure spring-activated locking pin or collar
slides freely and is seated rmly in tractor PTO
spline groove.
■Operate tractor PTO at 540 RPM. Do not exceed.
■Make sure attachment is properly secured, ad-
justed, and in good operating condition.
■If you do not understand any part of this manual
and need assistance, see your dealer.
■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 lter mask where
appropriate.
■Be sure to complete the Pre-Operation Check
List on page 19 prior to operating this Snow
Blower.

Operation 11
MAN1369
(10/31/2023)
PRINCIPAL COMPONENTS
The snow blower has three main operating compo-
nents. An auger dislodges the snow and carries it to a
central fan. The snow is then discharged by the fan and
directed away from the blower through a controllable
chute.
The snow blower is mounted on a tractor 3-point hitch
and driven by the tractor PTO. A centrally located gear-
box directs power to the fan and auger.
TRACTOR REQUIREMENTS
3-Point Hitch
The SB84.40 snow blowers require the tractor to be
equipped with a Category 1 or Category 2 three-point
hitch. The SB94.40 snow blowers require the tractor to
be equipped with a Category 2 three-point hitch.
Hydraulic Circuit
Either closed-center or open-center systems can be
used for the optional hydraulic spout control.
Tire Conguration
For best results, the tractor wheels should be set nar-
rower than the cutting width of the snow blower. Wider
wheel settings will cause snow to be pulled under the
tractor and may require additional passes.
PTO Shaft
The tractor must be congured to accept a 1-3/8" 6-
spline 540 RPM system and must meet horsepower
specications. See specications, page 4.
Tractor Stability
■A minimum 20% of tractor and equipment weight
must be on the tractor front wheels when attach-
ments are in transport position. Without this
weight, front tractor wheels could raise up re-
sulting in loss of steering. 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.

• For Cat 2, insert a 1-7/16" OD x 3-3/8" long
bushing (item 5) between the outer hitch plates
and secure in the upper holes with the pin and
ring pin (items 1 & 4).
• Repeat for the opposite side.
5. Insert a Insert a 1-1/4" OD x 1-7/8" long long bush-
ing (item 7) between the plates of the snow blower
upper hitch and secure with the pin and the linchpin
(items 3 & 4) provided with the tractor.
6. Make sure that the quick release latches are se-
curely closed. Lower the 3-Point so that the hooks
on the quick hitch are lower than the snow blower
pins and bushings. Reverse the tractor slowly until
the hooks are under snow blower pins and bush-
ings. Then, raise the 3-Point until the quick-release
latches snap on the pins with the snow blower bush-
ings to lock the system.
7. Adjust the snow blower using the tractor top link so
that the back of the snow blower housing is perpen-
dicular to the ground.

instructions.
■Before connecting the snow blower driveline to
tractor drive shaft, make sure driveline is not
too long in raised, lowered and middle position.
If the driveline is too long it must be shortened,
to avoid damaged to tractor. See pages 13 to 15
for instructions.
Figure 3. Attaching with a Quick Hitch
■If the PTO driveline is too long, severe driveline
and gearbox damage is possible when hooking
up the PTO driveline from the rotary snow blow-
er to the tractor. The front PTO driveline is long
enough to t a variety of tractors. It is possible
that the front PTO driveline will need to be cut.
There will be NO benet by cutting only one tele-
scoping section. Both sections of the driveline
must be cut. DO NOT FORCE THE PTO TO FIT.
■If attaching with quick hitch, the distance be-
tween 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.
■When attaching snow blower to multiple trac-
tors consider the drive length needed for each
tractor and whether the drive line will work in all
combinations.
■WARRANTY IS VOID IF THE PTO DRIVELINE IS
TOO LONG, resulting in gearbox, PTO, yoke or
cross bearing damage.

Figure 4. Driveline Joint Angles
DRIVELINE ATTACHMENT
Preparation of the Driveline
IMPORTANT: To obtain the proper universal joint an-
gles, it is recommended to adjust the 3-Point hitch at
the furthest point from the tractor recommended by the
manufacturer. The universal joint angle is directly re-
lated with the life of driveline. To reduce the angle, it is
necessary to increase the distance between the snow
blower and the tractor.
IMPORTANT: Do not change the snow blower angle on
the tractor hitch to obtain a better scraping effect. Avoid
this practice as it can damage the driveline since the
joint angle at each end is unequal. This results in a fan
speed variation as well as an increased load on drive-
line bearings. It is always recommended to keep tractor
PTO shaft and snow blower input shaft parallel.
Determining Driveline Length
Figures 5 & 6
IMPORTANT: Before using the snow blower, make
sure the driveline is the proper length. There must be
sufcient overlap of the inner and outer drive tubes but
there must not be any interference.
1. To determine the “L” length for your tractor model
rst nd the “X” distance by measuring between the
end of the tractor’s PTO shaft and the end of the
snow blower’s input shaft when the snow blower is
in transport position as shown, when raised to max-
imum height.
L = X - Y

Category 1 4-1/2"
Category 2 5-1/2"
Driveline Joint Angles too Large – Avoid
Driveline Joint Angles Unequal – Avoid
Driveline Joint Angles Reduced – Acceptable

(10/31/2023)
Figure 5. Find the “X” Distance
2. From the table on the preceding page, use the “Y”
value according to the 3-point hitch category and
subtract that number from the “X” distance mea-
sured previously to determine “L”.
3. Hold the two half-shafts side by side and locate the
“L” length between the two center-to-center half-
shaft universal joints. Mark off the zone to be cut
on both halves opposite each half-shaft guard as
shown in Figure 6.
4. Cut inner and outer plastic guard tubes.
5. Cut the steel tubes to leave the 1-1/4" between the
end of the guard and the end of each tube.
6. File the ends of the tubes to remove burrs and clean
out any chips.
7. Apply grease to the inside of the female tube section.
Driveline Installation
Figure 7
1. Remove the paint from the gearbox shaft (item 1)
and grease if needed. Grease also the sliding sur-
faces and yoke of the driveline.
2. Remove the bolts (item 3) from the yoke and slide
the driveline (item 1) on the gearbox shaft.
3. Secure the driveline by resinstalling the bolts and
nuts (items 3 & 4) in the orientation shown. Tighten
the nuts according to the Bolt Torque Chart speci-
cations at the end of the manual.
4. Raise the snow blower slowly to the maximum
height while ensuring that there is enough room be-
tween the two sections of the driveline. Also make
sure it is long enough when lowered.
■Avoid serious injury or death – This shaft rotates
at high speed (540 RPM). If the quick release
system is not securely locked on the tractor
shaft, (a click must be heard), or if the coupling
to the snow blower is not secured correctly, the
driveline can be released with force which can
cause serious injury or death.

MACHINE BREAK-IN
Although there are no operational restrictions on the
snow blower when used for the rst time, the following
items are to be checked.
After operating for 1/2 hour:
1. Check all nuts, bolts and other fasteners. Tighten to
the specications shown in the Bolt Torque Chart.
2. Check drive chain tension. Adjust as required.
3. Check that auger, fan and chute are in good
condition.
4. Check oil level in the gearbox. Add as required.
5. Lubricate all grease points.
After operating for 5 to 10 hours:
1. Repeat items 1 through 4 of Section A.
2. Then go to normal Owner Service Section, page 20.
OPERATING TECHNIQUE
Each operator should review this section of the manual
at the start of the season and as often as required to
be familiar with the machine. When using, follow this
procedure:
1. Review and follow the “Pre-Operation Check List,”
page 19.
2. Review “Attaching Snow Blower to Tractor” section,
page 11.
3. Before going to the eld, review “Transporting” sec-
tion, page 17.
4. Position snow blower in a level area and lower into
working position. Make sure the parking stand is in
the raised position and that the snow blower is clear
of snow and other material.
5. Starting Snow Blower:
• Be sure area is clear of all bystanders.
• Run engine at low idle.
• Slowly engage PTO control to start machine.
• Slowly bring engine to rated PTO speed. Never
exceed rated speed
6. Stopping Machine:
• Slowly decrease engine speed to low idle.
• Wait until PTO drive and snow blower have
slowed to low engine idle speed before disen-
gaging PTO drive.
■Before dismounting power unit or perform-
ing any service or maintenance, follow these
steps: disengage power to equipment, lower
the 3-point hitch and all raised components to
the ground, operate valve levers to release any
hydraulic pressure, set parking brake, stop en-
gine, remove key, and unfasten seat belt.
■Before performing any service or maintenance,
disconnect driveline from tractor PTO.
7. Do not operate with bystanders in area. The ma-
chine can pick up stones, sticks, wire and other
debris and throw it out with enough force to cause
severe injury or death to bystanders. Shut down
machine and wait for moving parts to stop before
approaching machine.
8. Ground Speed: Travel speed can vary between
1.5 and 7 mph depending on material and terrain
conditions. It is the responsibility of the operator to
note the condition of the job being done and set the
speed to obtain proper feeding rate and maintain
safe control of machine.
9. The input driveline and side drive shaft are both
protected by shear bolts in case of shock load from
striking an obstruction. To access the shear bolts,
lift the guards, (items 3 and 4). See parts section for
bolt size and grade.

16 Operation MAN1369
(10/31/2023)
■Never direct discharge toward people, animals,
or property. Rocks, snow, ice and other materials
can be thrown up to 300 feet during operation.
■Know where you are operating. Remove all un-
wanted trash and debris before starting. It can
wrap around auger or be thrown out of machine
during operation.
■Keep auger and fan in good condition. Do not
operate with a damaged fan or auger.
■Do not allow the auger to hit and scalp ground
during operation. Hitting ground will pick up soil
or rocks that can be thrown out of machine.
Adjusting Discharge Direction
To change direction of snow discharge, turn the manual
rotation handle clockwise to turn the chute to the right.
If this snow blower is equipped with the optional hy-
draulic chute rotation, activate the appropriate tractor
controls to rotate the chute. Reverse hoses if the rota-
tion is not in the desired direction.
NOTE: For hydraulic rotator option, if chute turns too
quickly, adjust ow control on tractor hydraulics.
NOTE: Operating hydraulic deector cylinder re-
quires low tractor ow rates. When initially operating
cylinder reduce tractor hydraulic ow rate toprevent
deector damage and improve resolution of deector
adjustment.
Adjusting Discharge Chute
Deector Position
Figure 8
The height of snow discharge is controlled by position
of chute deector on discharge chute.
To adjust the deector angle, remove the round wire
lock pin (item 1) and move the adjusting rod (item 2) in
or out of the adjusting tube (item 3) and select a set of
holes at the desired angle. Reinsert the round wire lock
pin (item 1) to hold the position.
If this snow blower is equipped with a hydraulic deec-
tor, activate the tractor controls to move the deector.
Reverse hoses if movement of the deector is not in
the desired direction.
If this snow blower is equipped with an electric deec-
tor, operate the switch to move the deector.
NOTE: If possible, blow snow with the wind. Beware of
people or buildings in the area.
Figure 8. Discharge Chute Position
■Keep bystanders away from equipment.
■Wear appropriate hearing protection.
10. Allow the snow blower to work its way through the
snow rather than forcing it.
11. In deep snow it may be necessary to raise the snow
blower for the rst pass through and clean up the
remainder with a second pass.
12. Do not feed snow through snow blower when raising

TRANSPORTING
■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 steering. 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.
■Never allow riders on power unit or attachment.
■Do not operate PTO during transport.
■Always comply with all state and local lighting
and marking requirements.
■Do not exceed 20 mph (32km/h). Reduce speed
on rough roads and surfaces.
When transporting snow blower, review and follow this
procedure:
■Be sure all bystanders are clear of machine.
■Be sure that machine is securely attached to
tractor and all retainer pins are installed.
■Raise machine.
■Do not allow riders.
SNOW REMOVAL METHODS
When removing snow, do not use the snow blower as a
dozer blade to push snow. Let the snow blower work its
way through deep drifts. If the speed of your tractor is
too fast, the snow blower may become overloaded and
clog. For best results, raise the snow blower and re-
move a top layer of snow. A second pass with the snow
blower will remove the remaining snow.
IMPORTANT: Use full 540 RPM power when removing
wet, sticky snow. Low RPM power will tend to clog the
chute.
■Do not use hands or feet to unclog chute. Do not
attempt to clear clogged chute of snow while
tractor engine is running. If the chute clogs, dis-
engage the PTO according to owner’s manual,
shut off the tractor engine, remove the ignition
key, wait for all movement to stop, and then
clear the snow from the chute.
A denite pattern of operation is required to thoroughly
clean the snow area. These patterns will avoid throw-
ing snow in unwanted places as well as eliminating a
need to perform a second pass with the snow blower.
Where it is possible to throw the snow to the left and
right (see next page), as on a long driveway, it is ad-
vantageous to start in the middle. Plow from one end to
the other, throwing snow to both sides without chang-
ing the direction of the chute.
If the snow can only be thrown to one side of the drive-
way or sidewalk (see next page), start on the opposite
side. At the end of the rst pass, rotate the discharge
guide 180 degrees for the return pass. At the end of
each succeeding pass, rotate the chute 180 degrees to
maintain the direction of throw in the same area.

ly installed and in good condition. Replace if
damaged.
Check that all hardware and cotter pins are prop-
erly installed and secured.
Check that equipment is properly and securely
attached to tractor.
Make sure driveline spring-activated locking pin
or collar slides freely and is seated rmly in trac-
tor PTO spline groove.
Inspect area and remove stones, branches or
other hard objects that might be thrown, causing
injury or damage.
Do not allow riders.
Check the drive chain for tension. If too loose,
adjust the idler sprocket. A 1/4" sag in the bottom
span is satisfactory.
Check all lubrication points and grease as in-
structed in “Service, lubrication information”.
Make sure the PTO slip joint is lubricated and
that the gearbox uid levels are correct.
Set tractor PTO at 540 RPM only.
Check that all hydraulic hoses and ttings are in
good condition and not leaking before starting
tractor. Check that hoses are not twisted, bent
sharply, kinked, frayed or pulled tight. Replace
any damaged hoses immediately.
Make sure tractor ROPS or ROPS CAB and seat
belt are in good condition. Keep seat belt secure-
ly fastened during operation.

The information in this section is written for operators
who possess basic mechanical skills. If you need help,
your dealer has trained service technicians available.
For your protection, read and follow the safety informa-
tion in this manual.
■Safety instructions are important! Read all
attachment and power unit manuals; follow
all safety rules and safety decal information.
(Replacement manuals and safety decals are
available from your dealer. To locate your near-
est dealer, check the Dealer Locator at www.
WoodsEquipment.com, or in the United States

low instructions or safety rules can result in
serious injury or death.
■Before dismounting power unit or perform-
ing any service or maintenance, follow these
steps: disengage power to equipment, lower
the 3-point hitch and all raised components to
the ground, operate valve levers to release any
hydraulic pressure, set parking brake, stop en-
gine, remove key, and unfasten seat belt.
■NEVER GO UNDERNEATH EQUIPMENT. Never
place any part of the body underneath equip-
ment or between moveable parts even when the
engine has been turned off. Hydraulic system
leak-down, hydraulic system failures, mechan-
ical failures, or movement of control levers can
cause equipment to drop or rotate unexpectedly
and cause severe injury or death.
• Service work does not require going under-
neath implement.
• Read Operator’s Manual for service in-
structions or have service performed by a
qualied dealer.
■Before performing any service or maintenance,

ponents in any way.
■If you do not understand any part of this manual
and need assistance, see your dealer.
■ For continued protection against risk of re,
replace ONLY with a fuse of the same type and
having the same electrical rating.
■Always wear relatively tight and belted clothing
to avoid entanglement in moving parts. Wear
sturdy, rough-soled work shoes and protec-
tive equipment for eyes, hair, hands, hearing,
and head; and respirator or lter mask where
appropriate.
■Tighten all bolts, nuts, and screws to Bolt Torque
Chart specications. Check that all cotter pins
are installed securely to ensure equipment is in
a safe condition before putting unit into service.
SERVICE AND MAINTENANCE INTERVALS
By following a careful service and maintenance pro-
gram, you will prolong the life of your machine.
The service intervals recommended are based on nor-
mal operating conditions. Severe or unusual conditions
may require more frequent service.
Lubrication Information
1. Do not let excess grease collect on or around parts,
particularly when operating in sandy areas.
2. Use a hand-held grease gun for all greasing.
3. Use a lithium grease of #2 consistency with a MOLY
(molybdenum disulde) additive for all locations
unless otherwise noted. Be sure to clean ttings
thoroughly before attaching grease gun.
4. If grease tting will not take grease, remove and
clean thoroughly. Also clean lubricant passage way.
Replace tting if necessary.
5. Two good pumps of most grease guns is sufcient
when the lubrication schedule is followed.
Driveline Lubrication
1. Lubricate the driveline slip joint every 8 hours of op-
eration. Failure to maintain proper lubrication could
result in damage to u-joints, gearbox, and driveline.
2. Lower snow blower to ground, disconnect driveline
from tractor PTO shaft, and slide halves apart. Do
not disconnect the halves from each other.
3. Apply a bead of grease completely around male half
where it meets female half. Slide drive halves over
each other several times to distribute grease.
4. Apply one pump of grease to each driveline u-joint
grease tting.
5. Apply one pump of grease to each of the plastic
driveline shield bearings.
6. On the shear pin driveline, lubricate the shear yoke
with grease to prevent galling.
7. Periodically check the yokes on the front PTO.
Make sure the bolt and nut are tight and the yoke is
not moving on the gearbox shaft.
