Operating Tips
•
Do not take large bites of soil. Instead, sweep the
bucket through the soil using the swinging motion
of the dipper a few inches deep at a time.
•
If the bucket catches in the soil, uncurl the bucket,
raise the boom slightly, and continue digging.
•
If your traction unit has a speed selector, set it to
the slow (turtle) position while you are learning how
to operate the backhoe (this will slow the backhoe
down). Set it to the fast position (rabbit) once you
feel you have mastered the use of the backhoe.
•
If your traction unit has a flow divider, set it to the
11 o'clock position.
