nThe sub-frame mount is designed to provide

secure mounting and adequate operator clearance

when properly installed. Check clearance dimen-

sions shown in figure 1 to be sure you have installed

sub-frame correctly. Follow all mounting instruc-

tions in this manual. Do not operate backhoe unless

there is adequate clearance. Failure to check and

comply with these instructions may result in serious

injury or death.

a position other than the operator seat is during

backhoe attachment and removal. Operator must
