ESSENTIALS 1. Machine Set-up 1. Position the machine at the work site and set the park brake. 2. Set the stabilizers down to remove some of the weight from the tires. 3. On a tractor, lower the front bucket and set the stabilizers to remove some weight off the tires. Keep the tires in contact with the ground.
3. Check the condition of the teeth on the bucket. Replace any that are bent, chipped, broken or missing. Check the oil level in the hydraulic reservoir if so equipped. 2Add as required. 5. Check the boom, dipper and bucket pivot pins. Be sure all are anchored securely in position. 6.
Page 32
4. Excavating Always lower the stabilizers and front loader bucket. If the ground is soft, use pads or place wood blocking under the stabilizers. Do not undercut the stabilizers. Doing so could cause the stabilizer to give way and the backhoe could tip over into the excavation.
Page 33
Lower stabilizers and front bucket before lifting a load 6. Digging with the Backhoe 1. Increase engine speed to mid-range or rated PTO rpm. 2. Engage hydraulic circuit or place hydraulic control in detent. If you have the optional PTO pump,engage PTO (refer to tractor manual).
Page 34
7. Curl the bucket up when full. Raise the boom and at the same time, move the dipper out a little to keep soil from building up under the machine. Digging with Bucket 8. Swing away from your excavation and dump the bucket. Start dumping as the bucket approaches the pile. Do not waste time by dumping too far from the excavation.
FINISH 1. Stopping and Parking the Machine Park the machine on dry, level ground. 1. Lower the boom to the ground. 2. Set the parking brake. 3. Allow the engine to idle for 5 minutes to cool. 4. Turn the hydraulic circuit OFF or disengage the PTO clutch (as equipped). 5.
