  • Page 6: General Safety Instructions And Practices

    General Safety Instructions and Practices A careful operator is the best operator. Safety is of primary importance to the manufacturer and should be to the owner/operator. Most accidents can be avoided by being aware of your equipment, your surroundings, and observing certain precautions.
  • Page 7 Never operate the Tractor or Implement until you have read and completely understand this Manual, the Tractor Operator’s Manual, and each of the Safety Messages found in the Manual or on the Tractor and Implement. Learn how to stop the tractor engine suddenly in an emergency.
  • Page 8 Never run the Tractor engine in a closed building or without adequate ventilation. The exhaust fumes can be hazardous to your health. Battery posts, terminals and related accessories contain lead and lead compounds, chemicals known to the state of California to cause cancer, birth defects or other reproductive harm.

  • Page 9: Connecting And Disconnecting Safety Instructions And Practices

    Use caution and wear protective gloves when handling sharp objects such as blades, knives, and other cutting edges. Be alert to worn component surfaces which have sharp edges. Sharp surfaces can inflict severe laceration injuries if proper hand protection is not worn.

  • Page 10: Equipment Operation Safety Instructions And Practices

    Make sure the hydraulic quick disconnects are fully seated into the connections. Do not use the Backhoe if the hydraulic connection is leaking. Leaking oil could allow the Backhoe to fall resulting in a serious crushing injury. Make sure all air is purged from the hydraulic system before using the Backhoe. Air in the system can cause the Backhoe to respond sluggishly or with unexpected movement.
  • Page 11 Start tractor only when properly seated in the Tractor seat. Starting a tractor in gear can result in injury or death. Read the Tractor operators manual for proper starting instructions. Operate this Equipment only with a Tractor equipped with an approved roll- over-protective system (ROPS).
  • Page 12 Operate the tractor and Backhoe only in conditions where you have clear visibility in daylight or with adequate artificial lighting. Never operate in darkness or foggy conditions where you cannot clearly see at least 100 feet in front and to the sides of the tractor. Make sure you can clearly see bystanders, ditches, steep slopes, drop-offs, overhead obstructions, power lines, and debris or obstruction in the travel path.
  • Page 13 Never walk or work under any raised boom or bucket. The Boom could fall and cause serious bodily injury or death. Always lower the boom and bucket flat on the ground or support the Boom and bucket on safety stands. Unload all hydraulic actuators prior to performing any maintenance.
  • Page 14 Do not work from the backhoe or attachments. Do now allow any riders on the backhoe, tractor or attachments. Falling off could result in serious injury. Use extreme care when digging, transporting or dumping loads that impair or partially block the operator’s line of sight.

  • Page 15: Transporting Safety Instructions And Practices

    BEFORE leaving the tractor seat lower the implement, set the parking brake and/or set the tractor transmission in parking gear, disengage the PTO, stop the engine, remove the key, and wait for all moving parts to stop. Place the tractor shift lever into a low range or parking gear to prevent the tractor from rolling.
  • Page 16 Do not drive near the edge of a ditch or excavation. The soil could giveway resulting in loss of control or rollover. Use extra care when turning or stopping. Allow for increased length and weight of added backhoe. The backhoe adds five to six feet of length in rear of the tractor and significant weight.

  • Page 17: Storage Safety Instructions And Practices

    Always look behind you before backing up. Make sure you are looking in the direction of travel. A bystander could walk behind the tractor. Running into a bystander can result in serious injury or death. Storage Safety Instructions and Practices Always lower legs and bucket to the ground and engage the swing lock when the Backhoe is not in use.

  • Page 18: Parts Information

    Periodically inspect all moving parts for wear and replace when necessary with authorized service parts. Look for loose fasteners, worn or broken parts, and leaky or loose fittings. Make sure all pins have cotter pins and washers. Serious injury may occur from not maintaining this machine in good working order.

  • Page 32: Filling Bucket

    FILLING BUCKET Control the bucket attitude throughout the digging cycle to keep teeth at the proper angle for best penetration. This will minimize dragging and scraping the bucket through the ground. When digging in hard-packed soil, bucket penetration can be increased by applying down pressure with the boom while crowding in and curling the bucket.

  • Page 33: Side Slope Excavating Or Trenching

    Position the unit so the backhoe swing post is over the center line of the trench connection. Dig with the backhoe at extreme swing positions, and in as close to the stabilizers as possible. Pile the soil on the opposite side of the trenches. Position the unit forward with the lift and crowd levers so the two trenches can be connected.

  • Page 34: Miscellaneous

    MISCELLANEOUS When finishing straight walls or bell holes in sandy soil, use a platform under the rear tires and stabilizers. The platform distributes the load over a larger area and lessens the possibility of a cave-in. The platform also tends to keep the unit from creeping rearward if hard digging is encountered.

  • Page 35: Mounting And Dismounting Buckets

    MOUNTING AND DISMOUNTING BUCKETS Mount buckets using 1 x 6-5/8 anti-rotation pins (1), 5/16 x 2” cap screws (2) and lock nuts (3). PLACING THE STABILIZERS Set the stabilizers to remove weight from the rear wheels. Rear wheels are to remain touching the ground as this provides for the widest stabilizer stance and lowest center of gravity.

  • Page 36: Transporting The Backhoe

    TRANSPORTING THE BACKHOE CAUTION: To avoid possible injury, observe the following safety rules BEFORE OPERATING backhoe. • Travel slowly over rough terrain, on hillsides, and around curves to prevent tipping. • Do not drive tractor near the edge of a ditch or excavation.
