identical fitting to “In/Pressure” port of bulkhead con- nection. Orient fittings so that free ends of fittings point horizontally toward center of backhoe.

6.Take one end of 28” hydraulic hose (23) and route under foot platform, through hole at top of left hand backhoe side plate, and connect to 90° adapter fit- ting (27) at inlet of filter base. Connect free end of hose to 90° JIC adapter fitting (28) on “Out/Return” port of bulkhead connection.

7.Assemble small 90° beaded tube fitting (26) to inlet port at left rear of hydraulic reservoir and connect 24” return hose (21) from this fitting to 90° beaded tube fitting (26) on filter base. Secure hose to fittings at either end using two small hose clamps (32).

8.Assemble torque plate (33) to PTO pump (12) using 1/2” x 1-1/2” bolts (3), lock washers (8), and hex nuts (11). Torque plate may need to be re-orient- ed later to accommodate different tracator configura- tions.

9.Align key slot in PTO adapter (13) with Woodruff key on PTO pump shaft and slide PTO adapter onto pump shaft allowing 1/8” clearance between adapa- ter and pump face. Secure PTO adapter to pump shaft with two 5/16” x 3/4” set screws (14). Place 5/16” hex nuts (9) on set screws and tighten nuts to prevent set screws from loosening.

10.Assemble large 90° beaded tube fitting (24) to outlet port at right rear of hydraulic reservoir and ori- ent free end of fitting horizontally pointing toward left side of backhoe.

11.Assemble large 0-ring boss adapater (30) to “IN” port on PTO pump, tightening fitting until it completely bottoms-out on pump. Connect 90° beaded tube fit- ting (25) to 0-ring adapter. Beaded tube fitting may need to be reoriented later for proper hose routing.

12.Connect 30” suction hose (19) between 90° beaded tube fittings (24, 25) on hydraulic reservoir and PTO pump and secure hose to fittings at either end with large hose clamps (20).

13.Assemble small 0-ring boss adapter (31) to “OUT” port on PTO pump tightening fitting until it completely bottoms-out on pump. Connect 90° JIC adapter (29) to 0-ring adapter. JIC adapter may need to be reoriented later for proper hose routing.

14.Connect 36” hydraulic hose (22) between 90° JIC adapters (29, 28) on PTO pump and “In/Pressure” port on bulkhead connection.

IMPORTANT - If hoses are hooked-up incorrectly, serious damage to the backhoe will result.

15.NOTE: Initial filling of backhoe reservoir

requires 7 gallons of fluid. Fill reservoir with recom- mended fluid to correct level, referring to Service Section in Backhoe Operator’s Manual. DO NOT overfill reservoir or oil may be forced out through breather cap during backhoe operation.

16.Mount backhoe to tractor at this time following procedure in Attaching Kit Manual.

17.Slide complete PTO pump assembly onto tractor PTO shaft until PTO adapter (13) locks into groove on PTO shaft. Make sure kinks do not develop in any hydraulic lines. Suction hose (19) can be shortened to help prevent kinks. Adjust orientation of 90° adapter fittings (25, 29) on PTO pump (12) as required to remove kinks or sharp bends in hoses.

CAUTION

DO NOT REMOVE TRACTOR PTO GUARD

18.Torque plate (33) may be adjusted (flipped front- to-back or bottom-to-top) on pump for proper fit-up to tractor drawbar or 3-Point Hitch Kit, if necessary. Optimum position is to mount plate pointing down and over drawbar with offset in torque plate facing towards tractor. (Refer to Figure 18)

An alternate position for torque plate is to mount it pointing upward straddling upper bar of 3-Point Hitch Kit. Regardless of which mounting position is used with torque plate, PTO pump must be restrained from rotating.

IMPORTANT- When mounting backhoe with 3- Point Hitch Kit, do not let hydraulic lines become entangled in any part of Hitch Kit during installa- tion. Ensure that both pressure and suction hoses are free from kinks or twists to reduce back pressure and to prevent excessive heat build-up.

19.Start tractor engine and engage tractor PTO. Cycle backhoe through all of its functions several times to remove air from cylinders and hydraulic lines until all functions operate smoothly. After cycling all backhoe functions, check oil level with backhoe extended to full reach and bucket rolled-back and resting on ground. If oil level on dipstick is below “ADD” line, add oil to bring oil level up to “FULL” line. DO NOT overfill reservoir or oil may be forced out through breather cap during backhoe operation.

HYDRAULIC HOOK-UP TO TRACTOR

If the optional PTO Pump Kit is to be used, refer to the instructions for that kit for proper assembly.

There are four basic methods of hooking up the backhoe to the hydraulic system of a tractor. The cor- rect method for the particular tractor will depend on the remote couplers available, whether a loader
