CAUTION:
Do
not
exceed
the
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. Tractor Operation in a backhoe application significantly increase
demands on the tractor Hydraulic System. Check the tractor Hydraulic System fluid level daily. Refer to your tractor
Operator's Manual maintenance section for instructions regarding tractor hydraulic system maintenance
The hydraulic system powering the backhoe must be compatible with the specifications of the backhoe. Refer to the
minimum and maximum pressure and flow requirements shown in Backhoe Specifications. Many tractor hydraulic systems
exceed the flow rate specified for your backhoe. The flow may need to be reduced to an acceptable rate by throttling the
engine RPM. Adjusting the flow rate correctly could prevent sudden shock loads on the cylinders, hoses, etc. this results in a
smooth operation and reduced maintenance costs and down tine.
Adhere to recommendations in your Tractor Operator's Manual concerning hydraulic fluid and filter specifications, and
change intervals.
Models BHUF/BHUS Series
These Models are driven by the tractors Power Off, and are fitted with an in-built Hydraulic pump and tank. Check fluid level
daily, ensure PTO shaft is greased and change hydraulic filter (refer to Lubrication and Maintenance).
CAUTION
: The tractor / backhoe must only be operated with all safety equipment properly installed.
4.3 TYRE INFLATION
Front Tyres must be maintained at the maximum recommended inflation to maintain normal tyre profile with the added
weight of backhoe/material.
Rear Tyres must be maintained at equal pressure within the recommended tyre inflation range. Unequal rear tyre inflation
reduces stability and increases tipping hazard.
