Optional Equipment - Woods BH85 Operator's Manual

Power to the backhoe can be supplied directly from the
tractor hydraulic system. A hydraulic requirement of
10 gallons per minute and 2500 PSI is necessary to
operate the backhoe efficiently. 1/2" diameter
hoses (SAE 100 R1 with 3000 PSI working pres-
sure) should be used to connect the hydraulic source
to the backhoe valve. These hoses must be long
enough to allow ease of removal or attachment of
backhoe. Hoses must include external shielding to pre-
vent oil from spraying on operator if hose fails.
Open-Center Valve
Locate the IN and OUT ports on the control valve under
the operator's platform. Connect hoses to these ports.
Attach male and female couplers compatible to the
tractor on opposite end of the hoses.
IMPORTANT: The backhoe will not function if oil is
routed backwards through the valve. Connect the trac-
tor PRESSURE hose to the backhoe valve IN port and
the RETURN hose to the backhoe valve OUT port.
Tighten all fittings securely. Start engine and run at low
RPM. Activate hydraulic circuit and check for leaks.
IMPORTANT: Damage to valve will result if oil is routed
backwards through the valve.
IMPORTANT: Valve damage will occur if back pressure
exceeds 450 psi.
IMPORTANT: Do not route return oil through tractor
remote valve. Use a low pressure port, such as a motor
return port.
NOTE: See the sub-frame mounting kit manual for spe-
cific tractor and hydraulic hose kit instructions.
