SUB-FRAME & BACKHOE TO TRACTOR Cont’d

nKeep hands and body away from pressurized

lines. Use paper or cardboard, not hands or other

body parts to check for leaks. Wear safety gog-

gles. Hydraulic fluid under pressure can easily

penetrate skin and will cause serious injury or

death.

nMake sure that all operating and service per-

sonnel know that if hydraulic fluid penetrates

skin, it must be surgically removed as soon as

possible by a doctor familiar with this form of

injury or gangrene, serious injury, or death will

result. CONTACT A PHYSICIAN IMMEDIATELY IF

FLUID ENTERS SKIN OR EYES. DO NOT DELAY.

nMake sure all hydraulic hoses, fittings, and

valves are in good condition and not leaking

before starting power unit or using equipment.

Check and route hoses carefully to prevent dam-

age. Hoses must not be twisted, bent sharply,

kinked, frayed, pinched, or come into contact with

any moving parts. Operate moveable components

through full operational range to check clear-

ances. Replace any damaged hoses immediately.

1. Couple the backhoe hydraulic pump to the tractor

PTO.

2. Insert the pump bracket over the tractor drawbar

to prevent pump rotation. Engage the pump PTO cou-

pler pin firmly in the tractor PTO spline groove.

3. Check all hydraulic fittings and lines to be sure

they are tight and free of kinks or twists.

4. Make sure backhoe PTO driven hydraulic system

is full (approximately 5-7 US gallons). Check the trac-

tor hydraulic reservoir and service if necessary.

5. Be sure the backhoe controls are centered in the

neutral position and the backhoe hydraulic pump is

securely mounted to the tractor.

6. With the tractor PTO and transmission in neutral,

start the engine and run at low idle.

7. Smoothly engage the PTO pump to provide back-

hoe hydraulics.

NOTE: Very little engine power is required to operate

the hydraulic system in this mode. Should the engine

pull down excessively, check the plumbing hook-up

for reversed lines or a control lever stuck in an operat-

ing position.
