Safety is a prime consideration in the design of this
machine. Guards, shields and other safety features are
built in wherever possible. However, accident reports
show carelessness causes the majority of accidents. You
can avoid most accidents by observing the safety rules on
these pages. Study these rules carefully and enforce them
on the job:
Never allow minors to operate or be in the
vicinity of the machine while working.
Do not allow the T5C to be operated by anyone
who is intoxicated or on medication that would affect
their judgement or ability to operate the machine.
The machine is designed to be operated by
adults who are of average size and weight. Persons
who are extremely heavy, big or tall, or those who
are exceedingly short, light or weak can not run the
machine.
Before Operating the Terramite T5C
Read the Operator's Handbook. Never
allow anyone to operate the backhoe without
reading the Operator's Manual and Safety
Instructions. This should be followed by supervised
training.
Check Your Equipment. Always make a
complete inspection of the machine before
operating it that day. Check the hydraulic system
and the engine oil level. Then check the machine
for broken, missing or defective parts. Check the
tires for cuts, bulges, irregularities and abnormal
wear and proper inflation. Check the neutral
position of the foot pedal. A malfunctioning
machine invites accidents.
"Do Not Operate" Tag. When you service
the machine, put a "DO NOT OPERATE" Tag on
the instrument panel. This tag (Terramite Part
Number 1-400.82) is included with each machine.
Keep Your Machine Clean. Slippery
surfaces are hazardous. Remove oil, grease or mud
from the operating area of the tractor. Failure to
keep these areas clean could cause a serious
accident.
Wear What is Needed for Protection.
Protect yourself by wearing all the protective
clothing and personal safety devices issued to you
or required by job conditions. You may need a hard
hat, safety shoes, safety glasses, heavy gloves,
hearing protection, reflective clothing, wet weather
gear and a respirator. Never take chances by wearing
loose clothing, watches or rings.
Look For Hazards. Walk around a new work
area and check for any hidden hazards, such as holes
and abutments.
Read and Heed Safety Decals. Make sure
the safety and information decals can be easily read.
To clean decals, use soap and water only. Gasoline
or solvents will destroy the decals. If these decals
are missing or illegible, call our Parts/Service
Department for replacements.
Roll-Over Protective Structure. All
Terramite T5C tractor loader backhoes are equipped
with a Roll-Over Protective Structure. This is
designed to protect the operator in the event of a
roll-over. If this machine has been rolled over, the
R.O.P.S. must be replaced. It is designed to be used
only once.
Driving Pivot Pins. When driving pivot pins
in or out, use care to guard against injury from
particles that may chip off the pin or object used in
striking the pin. These pins can fly out at high speed
if they are not tapped lightly just before they come
out. Make sure there isn't anyone or anything in
the way, in case the pin flies out. Safety glasses
should be worn.

When your machine is new, the hydraulic system oil and filter must be changed within the first 50
hours of use and every 250 thereafter. Refill the hydraulic reservoir with engine oil type API SF.CD
15W40 when outside temperature is above 40 degrees F. Use engine oil type API SF.CD 10 weight
when outside temperature is below 40 degrees F. Replace filter with Terramite / 21002 filter. It is
important to follow these instructions to alleviate any cold weather engine starting problems and any
pressure or heat related component failures.
DO NOT USE REGULAR HYDRAULIC OIL!
MAJOR DAMAGE WILL RESULT!
This is the position machine must be in to check proper level in
hydraulic tank.
Required Pre-Fuel Filter Changes for Gasoline and Diesel Machines
ALL Terramite Backhoes and Street Sweepers require their pre-fuel filters to be changed at the first
20 hours and again at 40 hours. These pre-fuel filters should be changed every 20 to 50 hours
thereafter using a 10 micron filter.
The following Pre-fuel filters are designed for gasoline and diesel engines.
Terramite15506
NOTE:NOTE:
NOTE: Filling tank with loader or backhoe in any other position will result in overfilling and spillage of fluid
NOTE:NOTE:
through the breather cap. Replace cap if oil should ever spill out of breather cap since it will clog off
the air supply that the systems needs to operate properly.

As of April 1, 1991, the section seals for the
V20 changed. The new versions have larger cross
section (old was .070, new is .103) and different configurations for open center and closed center sections. The old design utilized the same seals for all
versions (two .801 I.D. and two .926 I.D.). The new
design uses one configuration for open center (three
.924 I.D. and one .799 I.D.) and another configuration
PARTS MANUAL
for closed center, load sensing and all outlet covers
(two .924 I.D. and two .799 I.D., with one .237 I.D. for
load sensing).
The following charts is provided to aid in selection of the proper seals. It is important to note that
the seal kits include all O-rings (new and Old), therefore there will be some left unused.
The following section seals are included in the Kits:
K-6121 Section Seal Kit, One Section
K-6027 Complete Seal Kit, 3 or 4 Way Section
