PRE-OPERATION CHECK LIST

(OWNER'S RESPONSIBILITY)

The operator should perform the following check list before operating the backhoe.

___ Check that backhoe is properly and securely attached to tractor.

___ Make sure all hydraulic connections are tight and all hydraulic lines and hoses are in good condition before engaging tractor PTO.

___ Check that there are no leaks in the hydraulic system. Before operating, all hydraulic hoses must be routed properly and not be twisted, bent sharply, kinked, pulled tight or frayed.

___ During inspection, check that all nuts and bolts are secure and clevis pins are properly cotter pinned.

___ Be sure special heavy-duty top link, provided with backhoe, is installed.

___ Make sure only original equipment high- strength top link pin, provided with tractor, is used to attach top link to tractor.

___ Use a 1" x 5" grade 5 bolt to mount top link to backhoe.

___ Make sure tractor lower lift arm stabilizers (blocks or chains) are positioned to prevent lift arms and backhoe from swaying.

___ Place all backhoe controls in neutral position before starting tractor engine.

___ Check hydraulic reservoir level.

___ Remove transport lock bar from the boom. Push transport lock bar down fully to prevent damage.

___ Place and keep 3-point lift quadrant lever in lower position at all times.

___ Set draft sensing control to “heavy” (minimum sensitivity) position. The minimum sensitivity setting indicates to the tractor lift system that a heavy load is being applied to the lift arms and will minimize the potential for the lift arms to raise. Raising lower lift arms would apply

greater loads to the Saf-T-Lok®diagonal braces, which is not desirable.
