INSTALLATION
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.
SAFETY RULES
ATTENTION! BECOME ALERT! YOUR SAFETY IS INVOLVED!

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 pages
7 to 11.
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,

Keep bystanders away from operator, stabilizer,
and maximum bucket swing areas.
Do not use backhoe for craning; it is primarily

12 Operation
Figure 1. Backhoe Swing Area
MAN0306 (Rev. 5/23/2008)
Page 13
Mechanical failures such as a hose rupture will cause a
load to drop. Lifting a heavy load with the dipperstick,
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 1, 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.
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.
Set tractor RPM to a speed that moves the backhoe at
a rate that you are comfortable with.
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 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 2) 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 dipperstick
down and toward operator; pushing it forward (toward
G) moves it up and away from operator.
CONTROL HANDLE OPERATION
Refer to Figure 2.
Assume your position in the operator's seat.
When becoming familiar with backhoe controls, start
with a lower rpm.
Moving right handle left (toward F) curls bucket toward
operator; moving it right (toward H) extends bucket out
away from operator.
Operate the control levers, swinging the boom several
times to practice control. Do not operate the swing
more than 45 degrees each way the first few times.
Gradually increase arc.
MAN0306 (Rev. 5/23/2008)
Figure 2. Operator’s Controls
Operation 13
Page 14
After becoming familiar with the backhoe operation,
WARNING
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.
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
Only use dipperstick and bucket during the digging
cycle. As the dipperstick 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.
To obtain a cleaner trench and avoid material buildup
directly in front of backhoe, extend dipperstick and curl
bucket completely while starting to lift it out of the excavation. This will allow excess material to fall back into
the excavation.
Consult local utilities before working. Know
location of all underground cables, pipelines, overhead wires, and other hazards in working area and
avoid contact.
To start the excavation, position backhoe as shown for
maximum breakout force.
Actuate the dipperstick cylinder to start digging.
Approximately halfway through digging cycle, start
bucket curl while continuing to crowd dipperstick in.
Should bucket stall, raise boom slightly.
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.
Figure 4. Fill Bucket
DUMP AND RETURN CYCLE
Keep the swing-dump-return cycle as brief as possible.
Keep dipperstick moving outward and start boom swing
as soon as the bucket clears the excavation. Continue
extending dipperstick and, as you approach the spoil
pile, start to dump bucket.
When bucket is empty, dipperstick and bucket are in
position to resume digging upon return to the excavation.
TRENCHING AND EXCAVATING
Refer to Figure 5.
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.
Figure 3. Starting Position
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.
14 Operation
When handle is placed in the float position, pressure
on both sides of boom cylinder is released.
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.

SIDE SLOPE TRENCHING OR
EXCAVATING
Be careful when swinging loaded bucket on hillside. Always dump spoil on uphill side of backhoe
to minimize rollover possibility.
When operating on a side slope, the backhoe must be
positioned using one of these two methods as shown in
Figure 6 or Figure 7.
When operating on a side slope, always place the
trench spoil on the uphill side.
THUMB OPERATION
The mechanical thumb is used for grabbing objects
and securing them between the thumb and the bucket.
Become familiar with the geometry and extra weight
the thumb adds to the backhoe before operating. Large
heavy objects such as rocks and logs can increase
momentum when pivoting backhoe to the side. DO
NOT make sudden stops and starts. Be extremely
careful lifting and moving long items such as poles or
tree limbs which may extend beyond the normal backhoe operating area.
Improper usage can also damage the thumb or backhoe.
● Do not use the thumb to rake material.
● Do not use the thumb to push or pull material.
● Do not use the side of the thumb to move material.
● Do not use as a lifting device with chain or rope.
● Do not use as a pry bar to dislodge objects.
The thumb has six operating positions. Place lower
channel in the hole furthest from the dipper pivot pin
and secure with clevis pin (9). Select one of the six
operating positions and secure with hitch pin (7).
Rotate the bucket to hold material against the thumb.
When normal backhoe operation is required, place
thumb in storage position. Remove pin clevis pin (9)
from end of thumb, place lower channel in hole closest
to the dipper pivot pin and secure with clevis pin.
Rotate thumb up against dipper, and insert hitch pin to
lock thumb into storage position. See . Thumb in Storage Position, page 16.

RELIEF VALVE
This valve is pre-set at the factory to prevent system
pressure from exceeding 2000 psi. Do not attempt to
reset the valve for open-center hydraulic systems. If
valve is malfunctioning, replace it with an authorized
factory replacement part or have service done by a
qualified dealer.
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 locknut off and screw fitting all the way in
for fittings that use O-rings for sealing. Then hold in
position and tighten locknut.

WARNING
CAUTION
WARNING
The information in this section is written for dealer service personnel. The repair described here requires
special skills and tools. If your shop is not properly
equipped or your mechanics are not properly trained in
this type of repair, it may be more time and cost effective to replace complete assemblies.
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 gangrene, serious injury, or death will result. CONTACT A PHYSICIAN IMMEDIATELY IF FLUID
ENTERS SKIN OR EYES. DO NOT DELAY.
Before working on backhoe, extend boom and
dipperstick and place bucket on ground. Make sure
that all system pressure has been relieved by operating controls before maintenance, service, or disconnecting any hydraulic lines.
No individual parts are available for relief valve.
Replace entire assembly if required.
Pressure Setting Adjustment
NOTE: Before changing the pressure setting on the
valve, determine tractor hydraulic system pressure.
Many tractors do not create 2000 psi. If your tractor
does not create 2000 psi, changing the relief valve setting will not improve the backhoe performance.
To adjust relief valve setting, place a 3000 psi pressure
gauge in the line attached to the valve inlet (IN) port.
Remove cap from top of main relief (1, Figure 17). Turn
adjusting screw clockwise to increase pressure and
counter clockwise to decrease pressure. Start tractor
and set throttle for full engine speed. Move right stabilizer control lever to raise stabilizer to transport position
and hold the lever so full pressure builds. Adjust screw
to attain 2000 psi. Shut off tractor and replace cap.
Port Relief Valves
Pressure settings on port relief valves are preset at the
factory. Although they are adjustable, they must not be
reset in the field using backhoe hydraulic system. An
incorrect setting could cause hydraulic pump to fail or
backhoe cylinder rods to buckle.
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.
HYDRAULIC VALVE REPAIR
Refer to Figure 17.
Valve repair should be accomplished in a clean work
place. Note the configuration of the parts before disassembling valve and control linkage. This will make
reassembly easier.
System Relief Valve
Adjustment of system relief pressure must be
done by a qualified, experienced dealership. Incorrect adjustment can result in system failures and
serious personal injury.
Replace Port Relief Valves
It is not necessary to remove the entire valve assembly
from the console to replace individual port relief valves.
Be sure to install valve cartridges set at the correct
pressure. Valves are similar and can be easily mixed
up.
NOTE: Valve cartridges have small sealing washers
attached to them. When replacing valve, check cavity
in valve housing for any loose washers.
