WARNING :
Initial Backhoe Operation
Raise tractor only using stabilizers.
Make sure backhoe bucket does not contact the
stabilizers.
Position vehicle so that the backhoe is as near to the
pile as possible and in such a direction as to minimize
the amount of tractor turning required to dump.
Check hydraulic level in the tank. It should be full
(Refer to the Tractor Operator's Manual).
Precautionary Notes
-
Use good common sense in the everyday operation
of this unit. Safety recommendations can never be
all-inclusive and you are responsible for watching
out for and avoiding unsafe conditions.
Maintain and repair (if it is needed) the parts or
assemblies, check bolts and pins to be sure they
are positioned tightly.
When lowering a heavy load, ease it
downward slowly. Never drop a loaded attachment
and "catch it hydraulically". Stopping a load after it
has gained downward momentum places undue strain
on the unit and may cause unnecessary damage to
the backhoe or tractor or even worse, personal injury.
Never exceed the limits of a piece of machinery.
If
its ability to do a job or to do so safely is in question
,
don't try it.
Don't hurry the learning process or take the unit for
granted. Ease into it and become familiar with your
new backhoe and tractor.
Before disconnecting hydraulic lines, relieve
all hydraulic pressure. Escaping hydraulic oil under
pressure can have sufficient force to penetrate the
skin causing serious personal injury. If injured by
escaping hydraulic oil seek medical attention
immediately.
Do not operate the backhoe if the fittings are
leaking or if the hoses are damaged. A sudden line
burst would cause the mainframe to drop suddenly,
causing damage to the tractor or backhoe or injury to
personnel.
Before operating the backhoe, fully raise and lower
the boom, dipperstick(arm), swing and stabilizers two
or three times. Then raise the bucket above the
ground and cycle the bucket cylinders three times.
Lower the bucket to the ground. Check the tractor
hydraulic oil and the correct oil level.
Check tractor with the tractor operator's manual
that it can prepared for operating.
Warm up and operate the tractor and backhoe
carefully. Purge any air in the hydraulic lines and
cylinders by fully cycling all cylinders several times.
Keep the unit clean and perform regular service.
Observe
safety messages whenever cleaning, servicing,
or lubricating.
We urge you to follow this advice:
Read and understand this manual as well as the
Tractor Operator's Manual.
Remember and observe the Safety manual, the
tractor manual and on the machinery itself.
The tractor/backhoe should only be operated
with all safety equipment properly installed. Keep
assistants or bystanders a safe distance from the
equipment operating area.
Check below items before operating for your safety.
Read and understand this manual to avoid accidents.
Check the hydraulic fitting lines to be correct and
set tightly.
Do not use the boom, dipperstick(arm), swing and
stabilizers to lift, push or pull objects. Use only to
maneuver and operate the bucket.
Important :
Use tractor engine speed that your experience
permits. At first set PTO RPM of the tractor to slow.
Do not operate the hydraulics when not seated in
the backhoe operator's seat.
Important :
Keep all assistants out of area of operation.
Do not operate rapidly.
Do not allow riders other than the operator to be on
the tractor while operating.
Important :
Practice quickly turning off the engine or stopping the
backhoe immediately in case of an emergency
situation.
