Assembly - Woods BH6500 Operator's Manual

GENERAL ASSEMBLY INSTRUCTIONS
Backhoe assembly is the responsibility of the WOODS
dealer. The backhoe should be delivered to the owner
completely assembled, lubricated and adjusted for nor-
mal operating conditions.
Set backhoe up as received from the factory with these
instructions and illustrations.
The backhoe must only be mounted with a tractor 3-
point hitch using WOODS Saf-T-Lok
WOODS sub-frame kit.
The instructions in this manual are for 3-point Saf-T-
®
Lok limiter mountings.
When mounting this backhoe on a tractor using a sub-
frame mounting, special assembly instructions (which
are contained in another manual furnished with the
sub-frame) apply to some of the assembly procedures.
The backhoe is shipped partially assembled. Assembly
will be easier if components are aligned and loosely
assembled before tightening hardware.
Recommended torque values for hardware are given
on page 52.
NOTE: References to right, left, forward and rearward
directions are determined from the backhoe operator
seat position facing rearward.
