Use Seat Belt and ROPS TMG recommends the use of a CAB or roll-over-protective-structures (ROPS) and seat belt in almost all power machines. Combination of a CAB or ROPS and seat belt will reduce the risk of serious injury or death if the power machine should be upset.
3. Some new equipment installed during repair requires safety labels to be affixed to the replaced component as specified by TMG. When ordering new components make sure the correct safety labels are included in the request. 4. Refer to this section for proper label placement. To install new labels: a.

Introduction We congratulate you on choosing this high quality hydraulic backhoe! The purpose of this instruction manual is to help you maintain and use your backhoe. Read the instruction manual carefully. It contains information and guidance that will help you achieve years of reliable service and performance. The backhoe has been designed to require only little maintenance (cleaning and lubricating).

Escaping fluid under pressure can have sufficient force to penetrate the skin causing serious personal injury. Fluid escaping from a very small hole can be almost invisible. Use a piece of cardboard or wood, rather than hands to search for suspected leaks.
Do not attempt to modify the mounting in any way. Incorrect mounting or modifying of the backhoe 3-point mounting could allow the backhoe to raise up during use, resulting in injury or death. DO NOT attempt to raise the backhoe with the 3-point hitch. The backhoe center links along with the hitch lock out arms make the backhoe a solid mount that is immovable.
Backhoe Operation Levers The backhoe is equipped with two hydraulic stabilizers that keep the backhoe in place and stabilize digging especially while dumping to the side. Digging is more effective with stabilizers and should be used during digging. Stabilizers extend wider than tractors rear wheels giving balance to digging.
Excavation When operating the backhoe, smoothness of technique should be strived for at all times. Smoothness will come with experience and practice at feathering the controls. Establish a flowing digging cycle to increase operator efficiency and save unnecessary wear on the machine. Observe the following points to obtain the best results and to fully utilize the digging force of the backhoe.

sides of the bucket to scrape off any high spots. Dislodge any exposed rocks if they seem loose. When finishing walls, finish the far wall by curling the bucket out, crowding the dipperstick out, and forcing the bucket down. To finish the closest wall, lift the bucket up and curl it in. Once the sides are cleaned up, finish grading the bottom of the excavation.
Special Applications Trenching Between a Building and an Open Excavation Start the trench at the building and trench toward the open excavation. Dig toward the open excavation until there is just enough room to move the unit out from between the trench and open excavation. Position the unit so the backhoe swing is over the centerline of the trench connection.

Maintenance and Lubrication Proper servicing and adjustments are key to the long life of any implement. With careful inspection and routine maintenance, you can avoid costly downtime and repair. Check all hardware after several hours of operation and regularly thereafter to ensure they are tight and secured. Replace worn, damaged, or illegible safety labels by obtaining new labels.

Lower the backhoe to the ground and relieve pressure in backhoe hydraulic lines prior to performing any service or maintenance operations on the tractor or backhoe. CAUTION Escaping fluid under pressure can have sufficient force to penetrate the skin , causing serious injury . Before disconnecting lines, be sure to relieve all pressure.
Troubleshooting This Trouble Shooting Chart is provided for reference to possible backhoe operational problems. Determine the problem that best describes the operational problem being experienced and eliminate the possible causes as listed by following the correction procedures. PROBLEM POSSIBLE CAUSE CORRECTION Low hydraulic fluid level.
