SAFETY
Always look behind you before backing up. Make sure you are looking in the direction of travel. A bystander could walk behind the tractor. Running into a bystander can result in serious injury or death.
Storage Safety Instructions and Practices
Always lower legs and bucket to the ground and engage the swing lock when the Backhoe is not in use.
Always store in a stable position with the swing lock and lift ram strap engaged.
Do not remove the attachment from the Backhoe when the Backhoe is disconnected from the tractor. The attachment stabilizes the Backhoe. If the attachment is removed, the Backhoe will fall and could result in serious injury.
Never crawl under or allow children to play around or on a Backhoe that is disconnected from the tractor. The Backhoe could fall crushing a person resulting in serious injury or
death.
Maintenance Safety Instructions and Practices
Perform service, repairs and lubrication according to the maintenance section. Ensure the unit is properly lubricated as specified in the lubrication schedule and all bolts and nuts are properly torqued. Failure to properly service, repair and maintain this Implement in good operating condition could cause component failure and possible serious injury or even death.
Relieve hydraulic pressure prior to doing any maintenance or repair work on the Implement. Place the Implement on the ground or securely blocked up, disengage the PTO, and turn off the tractor engine. Push and pull the Remote Cylinder lever in and out several times. Disconnect and remove the Implement hydraulic hoses from the tractor prior to starting any maintenance or repair work.
Never attempt to lubricate, adjust, or remove material from the Implement while it is in motion or while tractor engine is running.
