Digging Suggestions

The following suggestions should aid you in gaining maximum efficiency with your backhoe.

!CAUTION!

Always be sure that the stabilizers maintain contact with the ground during digging operations. Take the time to readjust the stabilizers when necessary during digging. Before you begin digging, extend the stabilizers so that they make a firm contact with the ground. This is essential in order to gain the necessary stability and weight transfer to insure safe digging.

Observe the following cautions while digging.

!CAUTION!

Before swinging the backhoe, make sure you have room to swing and that all people are clear of the backhoe. For added protection, place a barricade around the swing area before commencing operation.

!CAUTION!

Be sure that you are not digging over any underground wiring, pipes, or other obstructions. If there is any doubt, call your public service agency.

Digging at the Correct Angle

Dipper Stick & Boom Angle

To obtain the best penetration, the dipper stick should be at an angle. Do not fully extend the boom and the dipper stick out. See Figure 2-4.

Correct Angle

19622

 

!CAUTION!

When digging to either side and/or close to the tractor, be extremely careful that the bucket does not contact the stabilizers, as serious damage may occur.

!CAUTION!

Be extra careful when working on hillsides and/or close to ditches. It is always extremely dangerous to work in a position where the danger of tipping or sliding exists.

!CAUTION!

Digging on a slope should be done from the top down. When digging across a slope, use the stabilizers to keep the backhoe level and ALWAYS dump uphill. Use caution when digging under these conditions. Move the unit carefully and at a safe ground speed.
