Basic instructions

WARNING
Unexpected machine movement!
Before you turn the operator's seat around to the backhoe operation position, shift the direction con-
trol lever and the transmission to neutral and apply the parking brake.
Failure to comply could result in death or serious injury.
WARNING
Avoid injury!
Operate the backhoe from the operator's seat only. Use caution when swinging boom to the extreme
left or right to avoid possible contact with the stabilizer or the tractor.
Failure to comply could result in death or serious injury.
NOTICE: Be careful when you swing the backhoe completely to the side. In some positions, the backhoe can contact
the stabilizers and can cause damage.
Dig cycle
The backhoe will dig more material in less time with a smooth, short dig cycle. Keep each dig cycle smooth.
Working on a hill
WARNING
Overturning hazard!
Be careful when you operate the machine on a hillside. You must be in the operator's seat (loader
operation position) when you move the machine forward. Always engage the parking brake and shift
the direction control lever and the transmission to neutral before you operate the backhoe.
Failure to comply could result in death or serious injury.
WARNING
Tip-over hazard!
When you operate the machine on a hillside, make the machine level with the stabilizers and place the
earth or other material from the trench on the highest side of the trench.
Failure to comply could result in death or serious injury.
Large loads

stall occurs.
A hydraulic stall will cause
• Longer cycle times.
