ADJUSTMENTS AND INSPECTION

2.ALWAYS engage safety locks before servicing backhoe. See Figures 1 & 3.

3.DO NOT oil, grease, or adjust the backhoe while it is in motion. For greasing, see Service section for details.

4.DO NOT change any backhoe relief valve settings.They are factory set for best backhoe performance and safety.

5.PROTECT YOUR EYES - WEAR SAFETY GLASSES.

6.GUARD AGAINST INJURY when driving connecting pins or performing any repair in which particles can chip from work piece or striking tool.

7.DO NOT remove any guards on backhoe or tractor.

AVOID HIGH-PRESSURE FLUIDS

ESCAPING fluid under pressure can have sufficient force to penetrate the skin and cause serious injury. Be sure to stop engine and relieve all pressure before disconnecting lines. Be sure all connections are tight and that lines, pipes, and hoses are not damaged before applying pressure to the system. Fluid escaping from a very small hole can be almost invisible. Use a piece of cardboard or wood - not your hands-to search for suspected leaks.

SEE A DOCTOR at once if injured by escaping fluid. Serious infection or gan- grene can develop if proper medical treatment is not administered immediately.
