SAFETY
Do not raise the Backhoe on a hillside. Do not transport across
a slope with a raised Backhoe. When the Backhoe is raised,
the center of gravity of the tractor and Backhoe is raised
increasing the potential for the tractor to tip over. Tractor wheel
contact with any wash out, drop off or the ground obstruction
with a raised Backhoe could result in the tractor tipping over
and causing serious bodily injury.
(SBH-20)
When the bucket is swung to the side of the tractor, it exerts a movement on the tractor causing the
tractor to rock from side to side. Make sure the stabilizers are lowered to the ground and stabilize the
tractor before swinging the boom.Extreme care should be taken when operating on slopes. Bodily
Harm or Death could result from tractor’s tipping over.
(SBH-1)
Avoid full reach and swinging a loaded bucket to the down hill side when operating on slopes. (SBH-2)
Digging with the arm may pull the compact tractor backward. Do not dig too much material at one time.
(SBH-44)
Use extreme care when piling material above 6 feet high. Material could shift and
fall onto the operator or bystanders. The material could crush or suffocate the
operator or bystander resulting in serious injury or death.
(SBH-45)
Always lower bucket and stabilizer feet to the ground, and shut off the engine before dismounting from
the unit.
(SBH-11)
BEFORE leaving the tractor seat lower the implement, set the parking brake and/
or set the tractor transmission in parking gear, disengage the PTO, stop the
engine, remove the key, and wait for all moving parts to stop. Place the tractor
shift lever into a low range or parking gear to prevent the tractor from rolling.
Never dismount a Tractor that is moving or while the engine is running. Operate
the Tractor controls from the tractor seat only.
