MACHINE PREPARATION AND ASSEMBLY

The backhoe(s) can be mounted to a wide va-
riety of models and makes of tractors with dif-
ferent features and confi gurations.
mounting of adaptors and other brackets must
be performed on the tractor prior to hooking up
the backhoe.
4.7.1 CENTER LINK AND STRUT
(On 3 Point Hitch Models)
The best performance is obtained when the bot-
tom of the frame is set 13 inches (330mm) above
the ground. The weight and dynamic loads from
the backhoe must be transmitted through the
lower links of the 3 point hitch, the top adjustable
bracket and adjustable strut.
It is necessary to install the components and
check that the backhoe frame is at the recom-
mended height.
To prepare the tractor and backhoe, follow this
procedure:
1. Make sure that all bystanders, especially
small children are clear of the work area.
2. Stop engine, set park brake, remove igni-
tion key and wait for all moving parts to
stop.
3. Position center frame next to backhoe and
lay out fasteners.
4. Install fasteners on both sides.
5. Tighten fasteners to their specified
torque.
