Assembly 29; General Assembly Instructions - Woods BH85 Operator's Manual

Backhoe assembly is the responsibility of the WOODS
dealer. The backhoe should be delivered to the owner
completely assembled, lubricated and adjusted for nor-
mal operating conditions.
Set backhoe up as received from the factory with these
instructions and illustrations.
The backhoe must only be mounted with a tractor 3-
point hitch using WOODS 3-Point Mount Kit or a
WOODS Sub-Frame Kit. See WOODS 3-Point Mount
manual for mount installation instructions.
When mounting this backhoe on a tractor using a sub-
frame mount, special assembly instructions (which are
contained in another manual furnished with the sub-
frame) apply to some of the assembly procedures.
The backhoe is shipped partially assembled. Assembly
will be easier if components are aligned and loosely
assembled before tightening hardware.
NOTE: References to right, left, forward and rearward
directions are determined from the backhoe operator
seat position facing the backhoe.
