ASSEMBLY
Basic components for all models can be identified in Figure 12. Refer to Page 38 for photographs of units on their shipping pallets.
General:
The backhoe has been partially disassembled and
strapped to a skid for shipping purposes. Initial installa-
tion on the tractor will require a hoist or other device
capable of safely lifting the entire backhoe from the skid.
After the initial installation is complete, the backhoe can
serve as its own erecting hoist, by lowering stabilizers
and bucket to the ground. Additional lifting devices will
not be required for normal removal and reattaching.

IMPORTANT: Tighten all hardware to torque require-
ments specified in torque chart.
1. Remove the stabilizer assemblies and any miscellaneous
items which have been fastened to the skid and arrange
conveniently. Reposition Stabilizer Cylinders from their ship-
ping configuration, by assembling them into the mainframe,
using the hardware provided. Be sure cylinder ports are
pointed upward and hoses are routed above the cylinder to
mainframe pivot pin connection. Refer to page 38.

CAUTION
DO NOT cut any strapping that
fastens the backhoe mainframe

at this time.
CAUTION
Be sure hoist being used is suit-
able, has sufficient capacity and
is in the proper position. Do not
