Introduction The purpose of this manual is to assist you in Maintaining and operating your Redline backhoe. Read it carefully, it provides information and instructions that will help you achieve years of reliable performance. Some information may be general in nature due to unknown and varying conditions. However, through experience and these instructions, you should be able to develop operating procedures suitable to your particular situation.
1.2 SAFETY PRECAUTIONS Before starting the engine of your tractor, make sure all operation controls are in park lock or neutral position. Operate controls only when seated in the operator’s seat. Equip your tractor with a ROPS cap or frame for your protection. See your tractor operator’s manual for correct usage.

A backhoe attachment should be transported in a low position at slow ground speeds. Make sure turns slowly and use the tractor brakes cautiously. A loaded attachment in the raised position alters the center of gravity location of the machine and increases the possibility mishaps. Do not stand, walk or work under a raised backhoe attachment unless it is mechanically secured in position.

SAFETY DECALS Keep safety decals clean and free of obstructing material Replace damaged or missing safety decals with new decals from your dealer. If a component with a safety decal(s) affixed is replaced with a new part, ensure new safety decal(s) are attached in the same locations on the replacement components.
3.1 BRIEF INTRODUCTION Redline backhoes can be attached to many brands of tractors and tracked dozers fitted with three point linkage, increasing their versatility.

CAUTION: exceed manufacture’s rating for maximum gross vehicle weight. Refer to Operator’s Manual or ROPS serial plate provided with tractor. 4.1 ROPS SYSTEM The tractor must be equipped with an approved ROPS System to ensure adequate operator’s protection 4.2 HYDRAULIC SYSTEM Models BHEF/ BHES Series These models are driven by the tractors Hydraulic remotes.
4.4 WHEEL TREAD SETTINGS Tractor front wheel tread setting must be restricted to wheel tread spacing recommended in the tractor Operator’s Manual. 4.5 ATTACHMENT Ensure your tractor’s point linkage system is fitted with sway chain attaching the backhoe. Failure to do can cause the backhoe to swing when travelling potentially causing bodily injury or machine failure.

-For BHEF & BHES models, connect backhoe hydraulic hoses to tractor hydraulic remotes (Refer to Photo 7) -Lift boom stabilizer legs into transport mode, fit boom safety pin and adjust 3.P.L sway chains. (Refer to Photo 8) [13]...
5.4 REMOVE BACKHOE FROM TRACTOR -Choose some firm level ground to work on -Place 3 secure stands under backhoe main frame and boom carrier. (Refer to Photo 1) -Lower stabilizer legs to ground. Position bucket flat on the ground with dipper arm vertical. (Refer to Photo 2) -Remove A-frame lockout upper and lower bolts.
CAUTION : Backhoe should be mounted to the tractor three point linkages. CAUTION : Never operate backhoe without secured solid top link and A-frame. CAUTION: Never store backhoe without bucket attached to the backhoe. CAUTION : Keep Feet and Hands well clear of underside of backhoe. CAUTION : Never raise 3.P.L position / draft lever while backhoe is connected, damage could occur to...

-Do not operate rapidly. -Do not allow riders other than the operator to be on the tractor while operating. Important Limit tractor engine speed in line with your experience. At first set PTO RPM of the tractor to slow. Do not use the boom, dipper arm, swing and stabilizers to lift, push or pull objects. Use only to maneuver and operate the bucket.
CAUTION : Before disconnecting hydraulic lines, relieve all hydraulic pressure. Escaping hydraulic oil under pressure can have sufficient force to penetrate the skin causing serious personal injury. If injured by escaping hydraulic oil, seek medical attention immediately. CAUTION : Do not operate the backhoe if the fittings leaking or if the hoses are damaged. A sudden line burst would cause the boom, or dipper arm bucket to drop suddenly, causing damaged to the tractor or backhoe or injury to personnel.

Boom / Bucket 3. Right Stabilizer Dipper Arm / Swing 4. Left Stabilizer The two levers, ‘Boom and swing control lever’ and ‘Bucket and dipper arm’, provide four simultaneous operations. Both experience and practice are needed to eliminate excess motion and increase operating efficiency. Do not dig near the stabilizers to avoid possible accident Do not lift the tractor rear wheels by stabilizers.
6.5 SWING LOCK AND BOOM LOCK When transporting or dismounting backhoe, you must lock the backhoe’s swing and boom, for models BHUF and BHEF, position boom straight back and the place the lock pins through holes in swing frame and boom. For models BHES and BHUS, side shift boom carries to one side swing boom to opposite side and drop pin through holes in swing frame and boom.
OPERATING HYDRAULIC SIDE SHIFT (BHES AND BHUS MODELS) When operating any service on the backhoe you must be in the operator’s seat, with the seat belt on. Do not operate the unit from the ground beside it. Ensure all bystanders and other machinery are well clear of the swing and slide radius when...

WARNING : Do not side shift Boom Carrier unless the boom, dipper arm and bucket are centralized and Retracted. WARNING: Do not dig near stabilizers. Ground under stabilizers could collapse. Make all movements slow And gradual when practicing operation. CAUTION : Operate from backhoe operator’s seat only.

CAUTION : Operate from backhoe operator’s seat only. Pay attention; be ready to stop immediately in case of emergency. CAUTION : To help from backhoe roll-over, adjust the wheels to their widest setting to maximize stability. Refer to your tractor Operator’s Manual for recommendations. Check the tractor hydraulic system as outlined in the Tractor Operator’s Manual.
