Maintenance Safety Instructions and Practices
Always look behind you before backing up. Make sure you
are looking in the direction of travel. A bystander could walk
behind the tractor. Running into a bystander can result in
serious injury or death.
(SBH-27)
Always lower legs and bucket to the ground and engage the swing lock when the Backhoe
is not in use.
(SBH-8)
Always store in a stable position with the swing lock and lift ram strap engaged. (SBH-12)
Do not remove the attachment from the Backhoe when the Backhoe is disconnected from
the tractor. The attachment stabilizes the Backhoe. If the attachment is removed, the
Backhoe will fall and could result in serious injury.
(SBH-25
Never crawl under or allow children to play around or on a Backhoe that is disconnected
from the tractor. The Backhoe could fall crushing a person resulting in serious injury or
death.
(SBH-33)
Perform service, repairs and lubrication according to the maintenance section. Ensure the
unit is properly lubricated as specified in the lubrication schedule and all bolts and nuts are
properly torqued. Failure to properly service, repair and maintain this Implement in good
operating condition could cause component failure and possible serious injury or even
death.
(SG-35)
Relieve hydraulic pressure prior to doing any maintenance or repair
work on the Implement. Place the Implement on the ground or
securely blocked up, disengage the PTO, and turn off the tractor
engine. Push and pull the Remote Cylinder lever in and out several
times. Disconnect and remove the Implement hydraulic hoses from
the tractor prior to starting any maintenance or repair work.
(STL-17)
Never attempt to lubricate, adjust, or remove material from the Implement while it is in
motion or while tractor engine is running.
