OPERATING THE BACKHOE
To avoid possible injury, observe the following
safety rules WHEN OPERATING the backhoe.
1. DISENGAGE safety lock pins as shown in
Figure 3 before attempting to operate the back-
hoe. Store lock pins in angled tubes located at
the rear right hand side of the backhoe below the
foot platform. See Figure 3a.
2. OPERATE from the backhoe operator’s seat
only.
3. LOWER the stabilizers until the rear of the trac-
tor is totally supported by them. NOTE: Rear tires
should not
come up off of the ground. See dia-
gram on Page 11.
4. DO NOT dig near the stabilizers.
5. DO NOT touch overhead wires with any part of
the backhoe.
6. DO NOT attempt to raise the tractor off the
ground or move the tractor forward or backward
using the backhoe dipperstick or bucket.
7. DO NOT lose stability by swinging the bucket
downhill when positioned on a slope.
8. DO NOT lower the backhoe boom using the
“float” function. It will freefall, and could result in
injury to bystanders or damage to the backhoe.

In general, the direction of movement of a control
