Start engine and engage PTO, raise backhoe with sta- bilizer controls and establish ground clearance between 11" and 14" from center of boom pivot and ground as shown in Figure 24. Level backhoe form side to side with stabilizers. On some tractors it may not be possible to obtain desired ground clearance and

maintain required minimum head clearance for tractors with ROPS or cabs. Required head clearance must take priority. The adjustable seat may be used in obtaining minimum head clearance. (Refer to Seat Installation on page 33.)

Figure 24. Ground Clearance

Attach link weldment (2) to backhoe with bolt (16) and lock nut (17). See Figure 23. Tighten nut against back- hoe bracket but do not tighten to torque specifications.
