When hauling the backhoe on a trailer, lower the dipper
stick to the trailer if possible. See Figure 2-2.
Observe the following precautions while transporting the
backhoe with tractor:
1. When traveling on roads, use the proper safety lights
and warning signs. (Check your local regulations.)
2. When traveling over rough ground, do not exceed safe
speed limits.
3. Do not make sudden starts or stops.
4. When climbing grades, be particularly careful not to
make sudden starts.
Control Functions
Refer to Figure 2-3:
In front of you there are four control levers. Right and Left
are determined from a seated position in the operator’s
seat.

Refer to “Description of Major Backhoe Parts”
Figure 1-5 on page 12 for the following controls.
Stabilizers
In the center of the operator’s console are the controls for
the stabilizers. The center left lever controls the left
stabilizer, and the center right lever controls the right
stabilizer. To raise the stabilizers, pull the levers towards
yourself. To lower the stabilizers, push the levers forward
(away from yourself).
Boom
The lever on the left side of console controls the boom.
Pulling the lever towards you raises the boom; pushing
the lever forward lowers the boom. Pushing the lever
further into detent float position renders the valve
functions inoperable.
Moving the lever to the left swings the boom to the left;
moving the lever to the right swings the boom to the right.
Dipper Stick And Bucket
The second lever on the right side of console controls the
dipper stick and the bucket. Pulling lever towards
yourself moves the dipper stick in; pushing the lever
forward moves the dipper stick out.
Moving the lever to the left curls the bucket; moving the
lever to the right uncurls the bucket.
Familiarize yourself with these controls before beginning
to operate the backhoe. After a little experience, you will
be able to operate the unit with a smooth, steady motion.
