HYDRAULIC OIL Topping up hydraulic oil: 1.) There is an oil plug in front of the seat. Top up the oil tank with HLP46 hydraulic oil, while keeping an eye on the oil level gauge. When the tank is full, screw the oil plug back into position. When topped up for the first time, the oil should be between the black and red lines on the level gauge.

BEFORE YOU START DIGGING Before digging, it is a good idea to plan the work first. The operator should inspect the work area and check for possible hazards. The operator should have a complete understanding of the work to be performed. After familiarising yourself with the work area, it’s time to plan the actual digging.
Page 27
OPERATION AND DRIVING Important! Never drive the towing vehicle/ATV while someone is sitting on the digger! The backhoe digger has 2 control levers (see figure below). Read the safety precautions in the operating instructions before using the machine. Remember: Left and Right are determined by the operator’s seated position on the unit/tractor and the steering of the bucket.
Page 28
BASIC EXCAVATION TECHNIQUES When you start digging, always make the first cuts as thoroughly as possible and make sure you follow the contour. The purpose of this is to minimise damage to the ground and the bucket. The first cuts are also important, as they will serve as a template for the remaining cuts.
