REMOVAL FROM TRACTOR - STORAGE
Figure 9
Backhoe Shown Partially Extended
Backhoe Fully Extended
Blocking For Support
The backhoe is
1.Install the swing safety lock pin as shown in Figures 1 and 3.
2.Stretch out the boom, dipper arm and bucket as shown in Figure 9. Lower the bucket to the ground so that it rests there solidly.
3.Raise the backhoe operator’s seat to the raised position.
4.Place suitable blocking under the backhoe frame to support it adequately as indicated in Figure 9.
5.Detach the backhoe from the tractor mechanically only, not hydraulically at this point. Move the tractor a few inches away from the backhoe.
Note: To facilitate this procedure, the backhoe can still be hydraulically moved, raised or lowered, to release the connection points of the carrying forces.
6.Gently lower the backhoe onto the blocking as indi- cated in Figure 9. Leave the stabilizers outstretched and firmly in contact with the ground for added stabil- ity.
7.The hydraulic system can now be disconnected.
CAUTION
Make sure tractor PTO is disengaged and engine shut off before disconnecting pump or hydraulic lines.
a. On PTO pump
b. On systems that tap into the tractor for hydraulic power, these lines can be disconnected now.
IMPORTANT: Be sure to mark the lines to prevent
Be sure to cap the ends of the lines to keep clean while in storage.
8.Now slowly drive the tractor forward and away from the backhoe. Be careful that all parts clear each other during separation.
9.Refer to the installation instructions for the attach- ing kit. This will help with the removal and reattaching.
10.For long term storage, coat exposed lift, swing and stabilizer cylinder rods with grease.
11.Lubricate all grease fittings and oil stabilizer pivot pins, and complete handle linkage.
