Securing The Backhoe For Transport - Toro 23163 Operator's Manual

Securing the Backhoe for
Transport
Warning
If you do not secure the boom, it could swing or
lower during transport or when disconnecting the
backhoe from the traction unit. The traction unit
could become unstable causing loss of control and
you or bystanders could be injured. If the boom
swings when disconnecting, it could crush or
amputate fingers or hands as you disconnect the
attachment locking pins.
Always secure the boom before transport and
before disconnecting the backhoe from the traction
unit.
1. Fully raise the boom, retract the dipperstick, and curl
the bucket rearward (Fig. 21). Ensure that you center
the boom locking pin holes as much as possible.

2. Pull the stabilizer levers rearward until the stabilizers
are fully raised.
3. Secure the boom using the two pins removed prior to
operation (Figs. 22 and 23).

6. Secure the clamp to the backhoe by inserting the end of
the pin through the clamp into the hole in the side of the
control tower (Fig. 24 for 200/300 series traction units.
The TX traction unit has a shorter pin through its
clamp).
