Backhoe Fully Extended

The backhoe is self-assisting during the installation and removal procedures. For removal and storage, follow these steps:

1.Install the swing safety lock pin as shown in Figures 1 and 3.

2.Stretch out the boom, dipper stick 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.

Blocking For Support

CAUTION

Make sure tractor PTO is disengaged and engine shut off before disconnecting pump or hydraulic lines.

a. On PTO pump self-contained systems, the pump should be removed from the PTO shaft. The hydraulic system should always remain complete. No hoses or oil lines should be disconnected during correct removal and storage procedure.

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 mix-up during hook-up when the hoe is again attached to the tractor.

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 all handle link- ages and seat bracket pivot.
