νKeep hands and body away from pressurized lines. Use paper or cardboard, not hands or other body parts to check for leaks. Wear safety goggles. Hydraulic fluid under pressure can easily penetrate skin and will cause serious injury or death.

νMake sure that all operating and service person- nel 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 gan- grene, serious injury, or death will result. CONTACT A PHYSICIAN IMMEDIATELY IF FLUID ENTERS SKIN OR EYES. DO NOT DELAY.

νMake 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 damage. 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 clearances. Replace any damaged hoses immediately.

1.Couple the backhoe hydraulic pump to the trac- tor PTO, if equipped.

2.Insert the pump bracket between the tractor drawbar support to prevent pump rotation. Engage the pump PTO coupler 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 sys- tem is full (approximately 10 US gallons). Check the tractor hydraulic reservoir and service if necessary.

NOTE: See the BH9000 backhoe operator manual for hydraulic oil recommendations. Do not mix hydraulic fluid types.

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 neu- tral, start the engine and run at low idle.

7.Smoothly engage the PTO pump to provide backhoe hydraulics.

NOTE: Very little engine power is required to oper- ate 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 operating position.
