SAFETY RULES
ATTENTION! BECOME ALERT! YOUR SAFETY IS INVOLVED!
Safety is a primary concern in the design and
manufacture of our products. Unfortunately, our
efforts to provide safe equipment can be wiped
out by an operator’s single careless act.
In addition to the design and configuration of
equipment, hazard control and accident prevention are dependent upon the awareness, concern, judgement, and proper training of
personnel involved in the operation, transport,
maintenance, and storage of equipment.
It has been said, “The best safety device is an
informed, careful operator.” We ask you to be
that kind of operator.
INSTALLATION
Hydraulics must be connected as instructed in
this manual. Do not substitute parts, modify, or
connect in any other way.
After connecting hoses, check that all control
lever positions function as instructed in the Operator's Manual. Do not put into service until control
lever and equipment movements are correct.
TRAINING
Safety instructions are important! Read all
attachment and power unit manuals; follow all
safety rules and safety decal information. (Replacement manuals and safety decals are available from
your dealer. To locate your nearest dealer, check
the Dealer Locator at www.WoodsEquipment.com,
or in the United States and Canada call 1-800-319-
6637.) Failure to follow instructions or safety rules
can result in serious injury or death.
If you do not understand any part of this manual
and need assistance, see your dealer.
Know your controls and how to stop engine and
attachment quickly in an emergency.
Operators must be instructed in and be capable
of the safe operation of the equipment, its attachments, and all controls. Do not allow anyone to
operate this equipment without proper instructions.
Keep 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.
Make sure that all operating and service personnel 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.
Never allow children or untrained persons to
operate equipment.
PREPARATION
Check that all hardware is properly installed.
Always tighten to torque chart specifications
unless instructed otherwise in this manual.
Air in hydraulic systems can cause erratic operation and allows loads or equipment components
to drop unexpectedly. When connecting equipment
or hoses or performing any hydraulic maintenance,
purge any air in hydraulic system by operating all
hydraulic functions several times. Do this before
putting into service or allowing anyone to
approach the equipment.
After connecting hoses, check that all control
lever positions function as instructed in the Operator's Manual. Do not put into service until control
lever and equipment movements are correct.
Protective hose sleeves must cover all hydraulic hoses within 20 inches of the operator and be
secured onto metal hose fittings. Replace hoses or
sleeves if damaged or if protective sleeve cannot
be properly positioned or secured.
Make 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.
Always wear relatively tight and belted clothing
to avoid getting caught in moving parts. Wear
sturdy, rough-soled work shoes and protective
equipment for eyes, hair, hands, hearing, and head;
and respirator or filter mask where appropriate.
Make sure spring-activated locking pin or collar
slides freely and is seated firmly in tractor PTO
spline groove.
Make sure attachment is properly secured,
adjusted, and in good operating condition.
Power unit must be equipped with ROPS or
ROPS cab and seat belt. Keep seat belt securely
fastened. Falling off power unit can result in death
from being run over or crushed. Keep foldable
ROPS system in “locked up” position at all times.

OPERATION
CAUTION
The operator is responsible for the safe operation of
the backhoe. The operator must be properly trained.
Operators should be familiar with the backhoe, the
tractor, and all safety practices before starting operation. Read the safety rules and safety decals on page 7
to page 11.
Hydraulic pressure for backhoe operation is supplied
by a tractor PTO driven pump. Two pumps are available to operate at either 540 or 1000 rpm. Make sure
you have the proper pump for your tractor rpm. Never
exceed the rated pump rpm. Operating the pump in
excess of the rated rpm will cause overheating and
damage to the equipment.
DANGER
Never put backhoe into service unless backhoe
manufacturer's 3-point hitch Saf-T-Lok
sub-frame has been installed and adjusted.
Do not operate backhoe unless there is adequate operator clearance as shown on safety
decal. (Refer to Danger decal in Safety Decal section.)

Start and Stop Operation
WARNING
Operate tractor PTO at 540 RPM. Do not exceed.
Power for operating backhoe hydraulic system is supplied by a hydraulic pump driven by the tractor PTO.
Instructions for engaging and disengaging the PTO are
in your tractor manual. Learn how to disengage PTO
quickly should an emergency occur.
Never exceed the rated pump rpm. Operating the
pump in excess of the rated rpm will cause overheating
and equipment damage.
WARNING
Make 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.
Make sure that all operating and service personnel 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.

GENERAL OPERATION
WARNING
Place and keep 3-point lift quadrant lever in lowered position at all times.
If tractor is equipped with draft sensing control,
set control to “HEAVY” (minimum sensitivity) position.
Do not use backhoe for craning; it is primarily
designed for digging. Mechanical failures such as
hose rupture will cause a load to drop suddenly.
Never allow children or untrained persons to
operate equipment.
When operating controls, always sit in backhoe
seat.
Mechanical failures such as a hose rupture will cause a
load to drop. Lifting a heavy load with the dipper, then
operating the boom, could cause boom to drop. In
either case, if anyone is in the operating area (maximum reach of bucket) as shown in Figure 3, serious
injury or death could occur.
Do not dig with backhoe unless stabilizers are down
and on a firm surface. Stay clear of steep areas or
excavation banks that are soft or could give way.

Figure 3. Backhoe Swing Area.
POSITION THE MACHINE
Before operating in an unfamiliar area, walk around the
full length of the proposed site and check for hidden
holes, drop-off or obstacles that could cause an accident.
Lower stabilizers until they carry the weight of the backhoe. If tractor is equipped with a front loader, place the
bucket flat on the ground. Lower loader lift arms until
weight is removed from front tractor tires.
Level the machine using stabilizers and front loader
before starting to dig.
Stability is very important when operating backhoe in
the extreme swing positions as this causes weight
transfer.
When engaging optional PTO-mounted pump, engine
rpm should always be low. Once engaged, engine rpm
may be increased to desirable operation speed.
When becoming familiar with backhoe controls, start
with a lower rpm.
Before operating, perform a functional test by placing
control handles in their various positions and making
certain correct operation occurs, matching decals on
operator's console. Pay specific attention to the float
position of boom. Do not operate backhoe if functions
differ from decal; serious injury or death could occur.
It is not difficult to become a successful operator. Control lever operating decals (shown in Figure 4) are next
to the operating control levers. Study these decals;
they will assist you in becoming familiar with the controls.
Pushing handle 1 forward will lower left stabilizer; pulling back raises it.
Pushing handle 2 forward will lower right stabilizer;
pulling back raises it.
Pulling left control back (toward A) raises boom; pushing it forward (toward C) lowers it. Full forward (toward
C) is the float position.
Moving left handle left (toward B) swings boom left;
moving it right (toward D) swings boom right.
Pulling right control back (toward E) moves dipper
down and toward operator; pushing it forward (toward
G) moves it up and away from operator.
Moving right handle left (toward F) curls bucket toward
operator; moving it right (toward H) extends bucket out
away from operator.
CONTROL HANDLE OPERATION
Refer to Figure 4.
Assume your position in the operator's seat.
51861 (Rev. 6/16/2006)
Operate the control levers, swinging the boom several
times to practice control. Do not operate the swing
more than 45° each way the first few times. Gradually
increase arc.

After becoming familiar with the backhoe operation,
practice coordinated use of the controls in a safe open
area at reduced engine speed. Gradually increase
engine speed as the technique is mastered.
Operate backhoe gently and smoothly. Avoid swinging
boom into mainframe. Sudden stopping or jerking
could result in serious damage to tractor and backhoe.

To start the excavation, position backhoe as shown in
Figure 5 for maximum breakout force.
Actuate the dipper cylinder to start digging. Approximately halfway through digging cycle, start bucket curl
while continuing crowding dipper in. Should bucket
stall, raise boom slightly.
Strive to develop a smooth digging cycle. Avoid abrupt
or jerky movements. This is accomplished by operating
two or more controls at the same time and not allowing
the cylinders to reach the limit of travel.
Should you become confused during operation, simply
let go of the controls. The valve control handles will
automatically return to neutral.
START EXCAVATION
WARNING
Consult local utilities before working. Know
location of all underground cables, pipelines, overhead wires, and other hazards in working area and
avoid contact.
Do not use down pressure on the boom when starting
to dig, as this will lift the machine and move it out of
alignment with the work.
FILL BUCKET
Control bucket attitude throughout digging cycle to
keep teeth parallel to bottom of excavation. This will
provide best penetration angle and minimize dragging
and scraping bucket through the ground.
Penetration depth is determined by soil condition and
type.
Only use dipper and bucket during the digging cycle.
As the dipper moves the bucket through the soil, curl
bucket to maintain proper bucket position.
At the end of the pass, or when bucket is full, curl
bucket completely, lift bucket from excavation and
swing boom to dump site.
DB3391
Figure 5. Starting Position
14 Operation
To obtain a cleaner trench and avoid material buildup
directly in front of backhoe, extend dipper and curl
bucket completely while starting to lift it out of the excavation. This will allow excess material to fall back into
the excavation.

SIDE SLOPE TRENCHING / EXCAVATING
WARNING
Be careful when swinging loaded bucket on hillside. Always dump spoil on uphill side of backhoe
to minimize rollover possibility.
Figure 6. Fill Bucket
DUMP AND RETURN CYCLE
Keep the swing-dump-return cycle as brief as possible.
Keep dipper moving outward and start boom swing as
soon as the bucket clears the excavation. Continue
extending dipper and, as you approach the spoil pile,
start to dump bucket.
When bucket is empty, dipper and bucket are in position to resume digging upon return to the excavation.
TRENCHING AND EXCAVATING
Trenching is the most basic backhoe digging operation.
Other operations are variations of this basic function.
To maintain a level trench bottom, set bucket at proper
approach angle and while crowding dipper-stick in,
continually move bucket curl lever to maintain correct
cutting angle. At the same time, place boom control in
the full forward (float) position and keep the bucket in
the same plane.
When handle is placed in the float position, pressure
on both sides of boom cylinder is released.
When operating on a side slope, the backhoe must be
positioned using one of these two methods as shown in
Figure 8 or Figure 9.
When operating on a side slope, always place the
trench spoil on the uphill side.
DB3388
Level the machine on side slope using the stabilizers.
Figure 8. Level with Stabilizers
When leveling with a cutout, cut a level pad for the
uphill side of the machine and place spoil on the downhill side as shown in Figure 9.
UPHILL
Spoil from
Level Pad
Digging near center of swing so material may be
dumped on either side will produce good results. Never
dig near stabilizers.
Continue the trench by moving machine along trench
centerline away from existing excavation. Move
machine approximately one-half the effective backhoe
reach. Moving too far will require excessive down pressure for digging and hand clean-up of trench bottom.

of the pressure washer manufacturer.
●Inspect machine and replace worn or damaged
parts.
●Sand down scratches and the edges of areas of
missing paint and coat with Woods spray paint of
matching color (purchase from your Woods
dealer).
●Replace any safety decals that are missing or not
readable (supplied free by your Woods dealer).
See Safety Decals section for location drawing.
___ During inspection, check that all nuts and bolts
are secure and clevis pins are properly cotter
pinned.
___ Be sure special heavy-duty top link, provided
with backhoe, is installed.
___ Make sure only original equipment high-
strength top link pin, provided with tractor, is
used to attach top link to tractor.
___ Use a 1" x 5" grade 5 bolt to mount top link to
backhoe.
___ Make sure tractor lower lift arm stabilizers
(blocks or chains) are positioned to prevent lift
arms and backhoe from swaying.
___ Place all backhoe controls in neutral position
before starting tractor engine.
___ Check hydraulic reservoir level.
___ Remove transport lock bar from the boom.
Push transport lock bar down fully to prevent
damage.
PRE-OPERATION CHECK LIST
(OWNER'S RESPONSIBILITY)
The operator should perform the following check list
before operating the backhoe.
___ Check that backhoe is properly and securely
attached to tractor.
___ Make sure all hydraulic connections are tight
and all hydraulic lines and hoses are in good
condition before engaging tractor PTO.
___ Place and keep 3-point lift quadrant lever in
lower position at all times.
___ Set draft sensing control to “heavy” (minimum
sensitivity) position. The minimum sensitivity
setting indicates to the tractor lift system that a
heavy load is being applied to the lift arms and
will minimize the potential for the lift arms to
raise. Raising lower lift arms would apply
greater loads to the Saf-T-Lok
braces, which is not desirable.

equipment for eyes, hair, hands, hearing, and head;
and respirator or filter mask where appropriate.
OPTIONAL AUXILIARY PUMP AND
HYDRAULIC SYSTEM
IMPORTANT
■ Fill with clean oil. Do not mix oil types or
grades.
Daily, check the fluid level in reservoir with filler cap
dipstick. Contamination will shorten the life of hydraulic
system components. Change oil and filter after first 20
hours of operation and then every 200 hours of operation or annually, whichever occurs first. In extremely
dusty or dry conditions, more frequent changes may be
necessary. System capacity is approximately 5 to 5-1/2
US gallons.

HYDRAULIC HOSES AND FITTINGS
Hydraulic hoses are severely worked on a backhoe.
Examine them daily and replace if necessary. Hose
routing is very important. Make certain hoses can move
freely, without kinking, and cannot be damaged or cut
by backhoe action.
When tightening hoses and fittings, always use two
wrenches: one to hold hose and one to tighten fitting.
This will prevent hose from twisting and kinking.
Always back lock nut off and screw fitting all the way in
for fitting that use O-rings for sealing. Then hold in
position and tighten lock nut.
IMPORTANT
■ Fittings with O-rings and flange do not require
additional sealant, replace damaged O-rings.
LUBRICATION
WARNING
Keep all persons away from operator control
area while performing adjustments, service, or
maintenance.
Do not let excess grease collect on or around parts,
particularly when operating in sandy areas. Figure 13
shows lubrication points for the backhoe.
It is recommended that all fittings be lubricated daily or
every eight hours of operation. In very wet or dry conditions, lubricate every four hours of operation. Use an
SAE multi-purpose type grease for all locations shown
unless otherwise specified. Be sure to clean fitting thoroughly before using grease gun. One good pump of
most guns is sufficient.
Position backhoe for easy lubrication by placing boom
and dipper at 90° to each other with bucket cutting
edge vertical and teeth resting on ground. Lower stabilizers to lubricate cylinders.

HYDRAULIC PUMP REPAIR
There are two suppliers approved for backhoe pumps.
They are Cessna and Sundstrand. Either type of pump
may be used to supply hydraulic pressure for the backhoe, but the components of the pumps are not interchangeable. You must determine which pump you are
repairing and obtain the correct repair parts.
Repair of the pump is limited to shaft seal replacement.
HYDRAULIC VALVE REPAIR
Valve repair should be accomplished in a clean work
place. Individual components for many of the assemblies are not available as repair parts. This will simplify
repair and allow you to replace complete assemblies.
Pressure Settings on
Shock/Dampening Valves
Pressure settings on shock/dampening valves are preset at the factory. Although they are adjustable, they
must not be reset in the field using backhoe hydraulic

system. The backhoe pump will separate or crack if
system pressure exceeds the maximum.
Relief valve adjustment requires a test bench and
accurate gauges.
Adjusting System Relief Valve Pressure
A WARNING
Replacing Shock/Dampening Valves
It is not necessary to remove console valve from console to replace shock/dampening valve cartridges.
Remove console cover and replace them. Be sure you
install valve cartridges set at the correct pressure.
Valves are all pre-set at 2400 psi.

Adjustment of system relief pressure must be
done by a qualified, experienced dealership. Incorrect adjustment can result in system failures and
serious personal injury.
Place a pressure gauge in the pump pressure line at
relief valve. When installing pressure gauge, be sure to
use steel fittings that will withstand pressure up to 5000
psi.
Remove cap nut (2a), see Figure 17. Adjusting screw
(2c) has a hex socket - rotate screw clockwise to
increase pressure and counter-clockwise to decrease
pressure.
Start tractor PTO and set system relief valve pressure
at 2100 psi. When pressure is adjusted, shut tractor
PTO and tractor off. Replace cap nut (2a) on system
valve.
4BB2500 psi
Segment Replacement
Relieve system pressure and remove valve from backhoe. Remove tie rods and separate the valve sections.
See Figure 17.
Replace defective sections as necessary. Make sure
you install two spacers between each section of each
tie rod. Note the location of O-rings (7 & 8). They must
be placed in the location between valve sections as
shown in Figure 17.
When assembling valve sections, use care when torquing nuts on tie rods. This must be done in steps - that is
to say, gradually increasing the tightening torque up to
13 lbs-ft. in an alternating sequence. Non-uniform or
excessive tightening can cause binding of spools. Failure to attain the proper torque can result in leaks.
Always use a torque wrench.

Our swing cylinders are designed to cushion and
soften swing action.
51861 (Rev. 6/16/2006)
Cross sections are shown in Figure 19 to give you a
view of the internal workings of the cylinder. Cushioning action is obtained by incorporating restrictors in the
cylinders. When the boom is swung, the fluid is allowed
to flow normally until the cylinder nears the end of the
stroke, then fluid is forced through the restrictors to
obtain the cushioning action.

on page 55.
IMPORTANT
■ When finished with assembly, the dealer is to
complete the check lists on page 34.
ASSEMBLY PROCEDURE
A WARNING
It is recommended that power unit be equipped
with ROPS or ROPS cab and seat belt. Keep seat
belt securely fastened. Falling off power unit can
result in death from being run over or crushed.
Keep foldable ROPS systems in “locked up” position at all times.
Refer to “Mounting Guide” (available from your
dealer) for some tractors not originally equipped
with 1” diameter pins.
A minimum 20% of tractor and equipment
weight must be on tractor front wheels with backhoe in transport position. Without this weight, tractor could tip over, causing personal injury or death.
The weight may be attained with a loader, front
wheel weights, ballast in tires, or front tractor
weights. When attaining the minimum 20% weight
on the front wheels, you must not exceed the Roll
Over Protection Structure (ROPS) weight certification. Weigh the tractor and equipment. Do not estimate.
Read instructions before starting assembly. You will
save yourself assembly time.

28 Assembly
Make 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.
IMPORTANT
■ Clean all hydraulic fittings and secure to pre-
vent foreign material from entering hydraulic fittings. On fittings using O-rings, no additional
sealant such as pipe dope or teflon thread tape
should be used. We recommend the use of teflon
thread tape on pipe threads. Be care when applying
teflon tape to prevent it from entering the hydraulic
system.

from any other point. When backhoe is removed from
pallet, remove lifting bar and discard.
Remove lag screws from rear of backhoe and remove
backhoe from skid.
ATTACHING BACKHOE TO TRACTOR
Use either 540 or 1000 rpm PTO speed; never exceed
the rated pump rpm.
Only mount this backhoe on 50 hp or greater, Category
2 and 3 tractors with 2000 lb. minimum lift capacity and
with original equipment high-strength top link pin of at
least 1" diameter or approved top link brackets and
pins available form your WOODS dealer for some tractors not originally equipped with 1" diameter pins.
Service hydraulic reservoir by filling to full mark on dipstick (approximately 9-1/2 to 10 U.S. gallons). When
backhoe is mounted and cylinders are filled, it will be
necessary to add fluid to reservoir. System capacity is
approximately 14 U.S. gallons.
IMPORTANT
■ Fill with clean oil. Do not mix oil types or
grades.
51861 (Rev. 6/16/2006)
Assembly 29
Page 30
Contamination will shorten the life of hydraulic system
components. Change oil and filter after first 20 hours of
operation and then every 200 hours of operation.
ENGAGE PTO AND RUN AT IDLE FOR 5 MINUTES,
THEN CHECK OIL LEVEL. Add Fluid as necessary.
Position backhoe on level surface. Back tractor up as
near as possible to center of backhoe. Refer to Figure
23 and select a pump mounting that will work on you
specific tractor.
The bracket is designed to slip over the tractor drawbar. The best installation is to place bracket down and
offset toward tractor. Offset may be reversed if interference occurs.
For tractors with a non-standard drawbar, it may be
necessary to enlarge pump bracket opening. Bracket
may be inverted and retained on top link bar. Make
sure pump is retained, whichever mounting configuration is used.
A WARNING
Make sure spring-activated locking pin or collar
slides freely and is seated firmly in tractor PTO
spline groove.
When pump is positioned, check that all hoses and fittings are positioned to avoid contact with other components.
Make sure backhoe controls are in centered neutral
position.
With backhoe hydraulic pump securely mounted and
tractor PTO and transmission in neutral, start tractor
engine idling. Engage PTO very carefully and allow
pump to start smoothly.
Figure 22. Pump Mounting Bracket Installation
Very little engine power is required to power the
hydraulic system in this mode. Should engine pull
down excessively, check plumbing hook-up for
reversed lines or a control lever stuck in an operating
position.
A DANGER
The only time the backhoe may be operated
from a position other than the operator seat is during backhoe attachment and removal. Operator
must:
•Read Mounting Kit Manual instructions on
attaching and removing backhoe and use
extreme care.
•Always stand between rear tire and backhoe
stabilizer arms or along side of tractor to avoid
being trapped should the boom swing control
be accidentally activated.
Never use 3-point mounted backhoe on tractor
equipped with cab or ROPS unless 3-point hitch

A WARNING
If tractor is equipped with draft sensing control,
set control to “HEAVY” (minimum sensitivity) position.
On tractors with draft control select hole closest to supporting point of floating link to mount top link.
Use boom cylinder control to position backhoe main
frame vertically by extending or retracting cylinder as
required.
Figure 25. Top Link and Saf-T-Lok Hitch Installation
IMPORTANT
■ There may be more than one hole provided in
tractor top link attachment bracket; select the hole
that most evenly distributes the load between top
link bracket and its mounting bolts. See Figure 25.
Note that the maximum width between tractor top link
attachment plates must not exceed 2-1/2". This is to
prevent excessive bending loads on the top link pin.
Pin must be located in one of the positions shown.
32 Assembly
Figure 26. Saf-T-Lok Adjustment
With backhoe main frame vertical, refer to Figure 26,
align double and single top link bars and bolt together
using widest spread between bolts as possible. It may
be necessary to move main frame slightly off vertical
plane to align holes of top link.
Mount Saf-T-Lok diagonal bars to hole in top link bar as
close to tractor as possible; do not mount further than
6-3/4" away from tractor. Cut end of Saf-T-Lok diagonal
bars off to obtain mounting space if necessary. Place
two spacer washers between double top link bar when
mounting Saf-T-Lok diagonal bars.
Check distance from center of boom pivot pin and
ground to be sure there is from 11" to 14" clearance.
Check that console is nearly vertical with the ground.
51861 (Rev. 6/16/2006)
Page 33
Make sure you meet minimum clearance distances
between ROPS or tractor cab. Required head clearance must take priority. Refer to Danger decal on
page 10. Make any adjustments required.
1. The bolt center distance attaching the diagonal
brace to the top link must not be more than 6-3/4"
from the tractor top link pin.
2. The bolts joining the two halves of the top link must
not be less than 2-1/2" apart.
3. The vertical distance between the attachment point
for the lower lift arms and the top link pin must not
be less that 12".
When clearance distances are verified and attachment
is complete, tighten hitch pin nuts to 600 ft-lbs. and
secure with cotter pin. Hitch pin nuts may be easier to
torque if the backhoe is removed from tractor.
Mount backhoe to tractor and tighten bolts attaching
Saf-T-Lok
top link bars together to 450 ft-lbs.

Safety Chain Installation
A DANGER
Do not operate backhoe unless there is adequate operator clearance as shown on safety
decal. (Refer to Danger decal in Safety Decal section.)
Secure backhoe to tractor by inserting safety chain
through lower lift arm bracket (21) or wrapping around
tractor axle (22). The preferred attachment is through
bracket (21). Remove as much slack from chain as you
can.
A WARNING
Make sure safety chain is properly connected
and secured to tractor.
Make sure tractor lower lift arm stabilizers (blocks or
chains) are positioned to prevent lift arms and backhoe
from swaying.
Secure hydraulic hoses between pump and backhoe
with nylon ties to prevent them from contacting sharp
objects.
Check hose positioning carefully through full range of
swing cylinder movement.
Fully extend and retract all cylinders several times to
purge all air from the hydraulic system. Retract all cylinder and fill hydraulic reservoir to full mark on dipstick.
