Operation
Using the Valve
Opening the valve allows hydraulic fluid to bypass the
traction–unit drive system, allowing you to move the machine
using the backhoe dipper stick and bucket, as follows:
1. Raise the backhoe stabilizers.
2. Press and hold the valve switch button to release the
parking brake.
Important: Releasing the valve switch does not
engage the parking brake.
Press the emergency stop button if the machine
begins to roll down a hill.
3. Use the backhoe dipper stick and the bucket to move
the machine into position.
4. Release the valve switch to close the valve, locking the
traction–unit drive system.
5. Lower the backhoe stabilizers.
WARNING
If you dig with the backhoe with the stabilizers
raised and the valve open, the traction unit could
move or tip, seriously injuring you or bystanders.
Always close the valve and lower the stabilizers
before digging with the backhoe.
