3.13.3 SLIDING THE BACKHOE UNIT SIDEWARDS

IMPORTANT
Before moving the backhoe unit, make sure that the sliding guides are clean and lubricated with grease.
q
1 - Release the front loader control and the backhoe control levers.
2 - Lower the stabilizers (1) to avoid overloading the rear wheels and to prevent the machine from oscillating.
3 - Swing the boom (2) against the machine.
4 - Manoeuvre the bucket (3) and the arm (4) until the bucket teeth are perpendicular to the ground when arm
and boom form an angle of approx. 90°; plant the bucket teeth onto the ground.
5 - Release the backhoe unit (see "3.3.6 pos. 9 - BACKHOE SLIDING LOCK SWITCH").
6 - Make the unit slide by manoeuvring the arm.
Carry out this manoeuvre by operating the arm opening/folding lever smoothly, in such a way as to
q
maintain the sliding support in vertical position and therefore facilitate the sliding movement.
7 - Lock the unit.
