ASSEMBLY

Basic components for all models can be identified in Figure 12. Refer to Page 43 for photographs of unit on shipping pallet.

General:

The backhoe has been partially disassembled and strapped to a skid for shipping purposes. Initial installa- tion on the tractor will require a hoist or other device capable of safely lifting the entire backhoe from the skid. After the initial installation is complete, the backhoe can serve as its own erecting hoist, by lowering stabilizers and bucket to the ground. Additional lifting devices will not be required for normal removal and reattaching.

CAUTION

DO NOT cut any strapping that fastens the backhoe mainframe and swing frame to the skid base at this time
