The purpose of this manual is to assist in setting up,
operating and maintaining your backhoe. Read it carefully. It furnishes information and instructions that will
help you achieve years of dependable performance.
These instructions have been compiled from extensive
field experience and engineering data. Some information may be general in nature due to unknown and
varying conditions. However, through experience and
these instructions, you should be able to develop procedures suitable to your particular situation.
The illustrations and data used in this manual were current at the time of printing, but due to possible in-line
production changes, your machine may vary slightly in
detail. We reserve the right to redesign and change the
machines as may be necessary without notification.
Figure 1. Backhoe Directions
Throughout this manual, references are made to right,
left, forward and rearward directions. These are determined from the backhoe operator seat position facing
rearward as shown in Figure 1.
■ Some illustrations in this manual show the
backhoe with safety shields removed to provide a
better view. The backhoe should never be operated
with any safety shielding removed.

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

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.
Never put backhoe into service unless backhoe
manufacturer's 3-point hitch Saf-T-Lok

START AND STOP OPERATION
Operate tractor PTO at 540 RPM. Do not exceed.
An optional tractor-driven PTO pump supplies hydraulic
pressure for backhoe operation. Instructions for engaging and disengaging the PTO are in your tractor manual. Learn how to disengage PTO quickly should an
emergency occur.
Never exceed 540 rpm. Operating the pump in excess
of 540 rpm will cause overheating and equipment damage.
GENERAL OPERATION
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.
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.
Consult local utilities before working. Know
location of all underground cables, pipelines, overhead wires, and other hazards in working area and
avoid contact.
A minimum 25% of tractor and equipment
weight must be on the tractor front wheels when
attachments are 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. Weigh the tractor and equipment.
Do not estimate.
12 Operation
Figure 1. Backhoe Swing Area.
MAN0450 (10/28/2005)
Page 13
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 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.
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 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.
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.
CONTROL HANDLE OPERATION
Refer to Figure 2.
Assume your position in the operator's seat.
When engaging optional PTO-mounted pump, engine
rpm should always be low. Once engaged, engine rpm
may be increased to desirable operation speed (not to
exceed 540 rpm).
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.
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.
MAN0450 (10/28/2005)
Figure 2. Operator’s Controls (Typical View)
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.
BH80-X SWING SPEED CONTROL
The swing speed control valve is located on the back
side of the console on BH80-X backhoes only. This
controls the speed of the swing cylinders and allows for
easier operation in tight areas. Turn knob to the right to
Decrease swing speed and to the left to increase swing
speed.
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.
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.
START EXCAVATION
Consult local utilities before working. Know
location of all underground cables, pipelines, overhead wires, and other hazards in working area and
avoid contact.
Figure 3. Starting Position
To start the excavation, position backhoe as shown in
Figure 3 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.
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 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
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.
When handle is placed in the float position, pressure
on both sides of boom cylinder is released.
14 Operation
MAN0450 (10/28/2005)

WARNING
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.

TRANSPORTING
Figure 5. Trenching
SIDE SLOPE TRENCHING / 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.
Always engage swing and boom transport locks
and attach Slow Moving Vehicle (SMV) sign before
transporting backhoe.
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.
Never leave equipment unattended with engine
running or with bucket in raised position. Always
engage swing and boom transport locks, relieve
system pressure by operating controls, and
remove ignition key before leaving equipment.
Transport and Swing Lock Installation
IMPORTANT
■ Before operating backhoe, disengage transport
lock bar and store swing lock pin. Push transport
lock bar down fully to prevent damage.
Engage transport lock by fully retracting boom and dipper. Position transport lock bar (1), located on right
side of swing frame, over transport lock pin (2). Secure

Figure 9. Tractors with Open-Center Valves
MECHANICAL THUMB (OPTIONAL)
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, push or
pull material, use the side of the thumb to move material, use as a lifting devise with chain or rope, or as a
pry bar to dislodge objects.
Place thumb in operating position by selecting an
appropriate pin location on the telescoping tube.
Rotate the bucket to hold material against the thumb.
When normal backhoe operation is required, place
thumb in storage position. Remove pin, rotate thumb
up against dipper, and insert pin to lock thumb into
position.
PRE-OPERATION CHECK LIST
(OWNER'S RESPONSIBILITY)
The operator should perform the following check list
before operating 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.
___ Check that there are no leaks in the hydraulic
system. Before operating, all hydraulic hoses
must be routed properly and not be twisted,
bent sharply, kinked, pulled tight or frayed.
___ 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

WARNING
CAUTION
The information in this section is written for operators
who possess basic mechanical skills. If you need help,
your dealer has trained service technicians available.
For your protection, read and follow the safety information in this manual.
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.
Always back lock nut off and screw fitting all the way in
for fittings that use O-rings for sealing. Then hold in
position and tighten lock nut.
RELIEF VALVE
BH70-X
This valve is pre-set at the factory to prevent system
pressure from exceeding 2030 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.
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 HOSES AND FITTINGS
IMPORTANT
■ Fittings with O-rings and flange do not require
additional sealant; replace damaged O-rings.
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.
Figure 10. Relief Valve, BH70-X

CLEANING
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 5-1/2 to 6
U.S. gallons.
Drain the oil into a suitable container and dispose of
properly in a manner compatible with the environment.
IMPORTANT
■ Fill with clean oil. Do not mix oil types or
grades.
ENGAGE PTO AND RUN AT IDLE FOR 5 MINUTES,
THEN CHECK OIL LEVEL. Add fluid as necessary.
After Each Use
●Remove large debris such as clumps of dirt, grass,
crop residue, etc. from machine.
●Inspect machine and replace worn or damaged
parts.
●Replace any safety decals that are missing or not
readable.
Periodically or Before Extended Storage
●Clean large debris such as clumps of dirt, grass,
crop residue, etc. from machine.
●Remove the remainder using a low-pressure water
spray.
1. Be careful when spraying near scratched or torn
safety decals or near edges of decals as water
spray can peel decal off surface.
2. Be careful when spraying near chipped or
scratched paint as water spray can lift paint.
3. If a pressure washer is used, follow the advice
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

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.
Adjustment of system relief pressure must be
done by a qualified, experienced dealership. Incorrect adjustment can result in system failures and
serious personal injury.
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 13). 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.

ADJUST CONTROL VALVE LINKAGE
WARNING
Reconnect control linkage to valve.
Relief valve adjustment requires a test bench and
accurate gauges.
Control handles should be positioned as shown.
When completing a maintenance function on the valve,
perform a functional test by placing control handles in
their various positions and make certain the correct
operation occurs corresponding to the decals on the
operator's console. Pay specific attention to the float
position of the boom. Do not operate backhoe if functions differ from the decal.
If the functions differ from the decal, check to make
sure control linkage is correctly installed and check
plumbing schematics to make sure hoses are correctly
connected.
Adjusting System Relief Valve Pressure
Adjustment of system relief pressure must be
done by a qualified, experienced dealership. Incorrect adjustment can result in system failures and
serious personal injury.
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.
Place a pressure gauge in the pump pressure line at
the relief valve. When installing pressure gauge, be
sure to use steel fittings that will withstand working
pressure up to 5000 psi.
Remove cap nut (6a). Adjusting screw (6c) has a hex
socket - rotate screw clockwise to increase pressure
and counter-clockwise to decrease pressure.
Start tractor and engage PTO (for pump kits) set throttle at PTO speed. Set system relief valve pressure at
2470 psi. When pressure is adjusted, shut tractor PTO
and tractor off. Replace cap nut (6a) on system valve.

HYDRAULIC VALVE REPAIR
Refer to Figure 15.
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 Port Relief Valves
Pressure settings on port relief valves are pre-set 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.
Replacing Port Relief Valves
It is not necessary to remove valve from console to
replace port relief valve cartridges. Remove console
cover and replace them. Be sure you install valve cartridges set at the correct pressure. Valves are similar
and can be easily mixed up.

GENERAL ASSEMBLY INSTRUCTIONS
Backhoe assembly is the responsibility of the WOODS
dealer. The backhoe should be delivered to the owner
completely assembled, lubricated and adjusted for normal operating conditions.
Set backhoe up as received from the factory with these
instructions and illustrations.
The backhoe must only be mounted with a tractor 3point hitch using WOODS 3-Point Mount kit or a
WOODS sub-frame kit. See WOODS 3-Point Mount
manual for mount installation instructions.
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.
When mounting this backhoe on a tractor using a subframe mount, special assembly instructions (which are
contained in another manual furnished with the subframe) apply to some of the assembly procedures.
The backhoe is shipped partially assembled. Assembly
will be easier if components are aligned and loosely
assembled before tightening hardware.
NOTE: References to right, left, forward and rearward
directions are determined from the backhoe operator
seat position facing rearward.
Always wear relatively tight and belted clothing
to avoid getting caught in moving parts. Wear

TACT A PHYSICIAN IMMEDIATELY IF FLUID
ENTERS SKIN OR EYES. DO NOT DELAY.
Make sure shields and guards are properly
installed and in good condition. Replace if damaged.
Power to the backhoe can be supplied directly from the
tractor hydraulic system. A hydraulic requirement of 57 gallons per minute and 2000 PSI (BH70-X) or 2400
psi (BH80-X) is necessary to operate the backhoe efficiently. 3/8" diameter hoses (SAE 100 R1 with 2500
PSI working pressure) should be used to connect the
hydraulic source to the backhoe valve. These hoses
must be long enough to allow ease of removal or
attachment of backhoe. Hoses must include external
shielding to prevent oil from spraying on operator if
hose fails.
Open-Center
Refer to Figure 21.
Remove the console cover from the backhoe to gain
access to control valve (1). Connect 3/8" hoses (2 & 3)
to the backhoe inlet and outlet ports. Install couplers (4)
compatible to the tractor on opposite end of the 3/8"
hoses. Determine the direction of flow and connect
tractor pressure hose (6) to the inlet side of the control
valve (under left foot rest).
Note: The backhoe will not function if oil is routed backwards through the valve. Connect the tractor return
hose (5) to the control valve outlet port. Tighten all fit-

TION
On tractors with non-standard drawbars, it may be necessary to modify pump bracket by enlarging the opening. Bracket may also be inverted and retained on the
top link bar. Whatever mounting is used, it is important
that pump be restrained from rotating.
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.
Make sure spring-activated locking pin or collar
slides freely and is seated firmly in tractor PTO
spline groove.
Attach pump mounting plate (18) to pump with bolts
(19) and nuts (20), Figure 22.
Check all hydraulic fittings and lines to be sure they are
tight and free of kinks and twists.
SEAT INSTALLATION AND ADJUSTMENT
The seat may be adjusted fore, aft, up and down for
operator comfort. It is necessary to use the two adjustments together. Moving the seat down also moves it
forward, moving it up also moves it rearward. The fore
and aft adjustment may be used with the up and down
adjustment to obtain desired position. Never operate
the backhoe unless manufacturer's 3-point hitch Saf-TLok Limiter or sub-frame has been installed, adjusted
and operator's area (shown in decal 1011992, see
decal page 11) is free from obstructions.
INSTALL OPTIONAL STABILIZER
STREET PAD
1. Attach two rubber stabilizer pads (7) to the bottom
stabilizer pad (2) using three lock nuts (6).
Figure 23. Pump Mounting Bracket Installation
If you are using a sub-frame mounting, refer to the
pump mounting instructions provided with the subframe.
The pump mounting bracket is designed to slip over
tractor drawbar. The best installation is to place bracket
offset toward tractor and pump offset down; however,
offset may be reversed if interference occurs, Figure
23.
