Important :
Fluid escaping from a very small hole can be
almost invisible. Use a piece of cardboard or wood
rather than your hands to search for suspected leaks.
If injured by escaping fluid, seek medical treatment
immediately. Serious infection or damage can occur
without proper medical treatment.
Daily or Every 10 Hours Checks
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.
Do not perform service or maintenance
operations with backhoe raised off the ground. For
additional access to tractor components remove
backhoe.
Refer to "Lubrication Quick Figure and Maintenance
Quick Chart" for quick reference to Maintenance
Operations.
Do not operate the backhoe if the fittings are
leaking or if the hoses are damaged. A sudden line
burst could cause the boom, dipperstick(arm) or
bucket to drop suddenly, causing damage to the
tractor or backhoe or injury to personnel.
Escaping fluid under pressure can have
sufficient force to penetrate the skin, causing serious
injury.
Operate the backhoe from the operator seat
only.
Do not stand or walk under a raised backhoe.
Accidental movement of control lever or leak in
hydraulic system could cause boom or
dipperstick(arm) to drop, causing severe injury.
Check the tractor hydraulic system as outlined in the
Tractor Operator's Manual.
Make sure to relieve all pressure before
disconnecting hydraulic hoses and lines. Also make
sure all connections are tight before applying pressure
to system.
Never operate the machine with damaged or
failed hydraulic hoses or lines.
When checking hydraulic system oil level, the backhoe
should be on the ground and bucket fully retracted(all
cylinders in retracted position).
Tractor tires should be maintained at maximum
recommended inflation to maintain normal tire profile
with added weight of backhoe/material. Unequal rear
tire inflation can result in bucket not being level to the
ground.
