ASSEMBLY

IMPORTANT: Tighten all h ardware to the tor que requirements specified in the torque chart.

!WARNING!

To prevent bodily injury, do not operate backhoe unless Lower Link Weldments (28, 29) are proper- ly in stalled and adjusted. Failu re t o do so may result in backhoe being th rust upward, crushing operator against cabor ROPS.

1.Use hoist to raise the backhoe mainframe so that the boom pivot pin is appr oximately 12” off t he ground.

2. Attach Right Hand and Left Ha nd Lo wer Link

Mount Weldments (21, 22) and Seat Upper Link

Weldment (23) to backhoe Mainframe Weldment

using eight 5 /8NF x 2” Bolts (3), Harden

ed

Washers (15) and Nuts (10). Do not tighten hard- ware at this time.

3.Install Right and Left Hand Floor Pans (24, 25) to Seat Upper link Weldment (23) using four 3/8NC x 1” Carriage Bolts (1), Lockwashers (12), and Nuts (8).

4. Install Sea t Assembly from base backhoe to Seat Upper Weldm ent (23) using hard ware pro- vided with b ase backhoe , cons isti ng of four 1/2NC x 1-3/4” Carriage Bolts, Lockwashers, and Nuts.

5.Tightenand torqueall hardware installed.

6.Back tractor close to the backhoe. Connect tractor lower link arms to lower link mounts using two L-pins (20), twoCotter Pins (17), and two Wire Form Cotter Pins (18).

NOTE: If tractor has a Cat egory II hit ch, install two Bushings (30) inlower link arms.

7.Attach Upper Braces (27) to backhoe with 3/4NF x

7-1/2 Bolt (6), Lockwasher (14), Washers (16) and Nut (11). Donot tighten hardware at this time.

8.Install Bushing (19) or Bushing (31)in the hole of the UpperBar (26) thatmost closely matches the diameter of the tractor upper link pin.No bushingis necessary for Category IItractors.

9.Secure Upper Bar (26) between Uper Braces (27) using 3/4NF x 4” Bolt (5), Washers (16), Lockwasher (14) and Nut (110. Use hoist to raise or lowerback- hoe slightlyuntil a hole in the Upper Bar aligns with a hole in theUpper Braces.

10.Attach RH Lower Link Weldment (28) and LH Lower Link Weldment (29) to backhoe mainframe using 3/4NF x 2-1/4” Bolt (4), Washers (16), Lockwasher (14), and Nut(11).

11.AlignRH andLH Link Weldment (28, 29)with a hole in the Upper Bar/Brace assembly, as close to the tractor as possible. Use3/4NF x 5-1/2” Bolt (7), Washers(16), Lockwasher (14), and Nut (11). You may need to return to step 6 and readjustupwardor downward the bolt connection. You mayalso need to switch the Right and Left Hand Link weldments on the backhoe to obtain proper clearances with ractort components.

12.Removebackhoefrom the tractor.

13.Install Connector Plate(32) to RH and LHLowerLink Weldments (28, 29) using 1/2NF x 1-3/4” bolt (2), Lockwasher (13),and Nut (9).

14.Tightenall hardwareat this time.Check your installation very carefully to be sure all members are correctly installed andsecurely astenedf.

15.Connecthoses fromthe backhoe control valve to the tractor hydraulic system as described in “Hydraulic Hook-Up” section, prior to remounting the backhoe onto the tractor.
