moved forward/backward. Before mounting the backhoe on to your loader/tractor move the seat forward<br />

and position it into the lowest position. After installation the seat may be moved back if clearance is not a<br />

factor.<br />

Mounting kit<br />

The three-point hitch adapter kit will adapt the backhoe to any three point hitch tractor. The seller makes no<br />

claims, implied or otherwise, as to the compatibility or structural integrity of any tractors when backhoe is<br />

installed with 3-point hitch. Since many models of tractors have standard category hitches and backhoes<br />

have standard category attaching points, it is possible to mount tractor/backhoe combinations that are not<br />

compatible. Dealers and/or owners must determine that compatibility between the tractor and backhoe<br />

exists.<br />

Compatibility includes, but is not limited to items such as operator clearance, hitch component strength,<br />

tractor case strength and hydraulics. Suggestions given as to hitch categories and horsepower ranges<br />

used with various models of backhoes are suggestions only and not recommendations as to suitability of<br />

any combination of tractors and backhoes.<br />

Backhoe operation<br />

Stabilizers<br />

The backhoe is equipped with two hydraulic stabilizers that keep the backhoe in place and stabilize digging<br />

especially while dumping to the side. Digging is more effective with stabilizers and should be used during<br />

digging. Stabilizers extend wider than tractors rear wheels giving balance to digging.<br />

Your backhoe is operated by four different control levers. Two are for stabilizer operation and the other two<br />

operate the swing, boom, dipperstick, and bucket functions. The information contained below will help you<br />

become familiar with the operation of each control lever. Read the safety precautions of this manual before<br />

attempting to use the backhoe. Remember, right and left when referred to on this page are determined by<br />

the operator’s position seated at the backhoe controls facing the bucket.<br />

Do not dig near the stabilizers to prevent an accident. Do not lift the tractor tires with the stabilizers. Ensure that<br />

the stabilizers are set on <strong>fi</strong>rm ground to support tractor and backhoe.<br />

Stabilizer levers<br />

Moving the stabilizer lever(s) forward will bring the backhoe stabilizer (s) "down". Moving the stabilizer<br />

lever(s) backward will raise the backhoe stabilizers "up". Both stabilizers are required to be down for proper<br />

stability of the backhoe when in operation.<br />

Boom/Swing lever (Left hand lever)<br />

Pushing the boom/swing lever forward will “lower" the boom dipstick and bucket. Full forward is the "float"<br />

position. Pulling the lever backward will "lift" the boom, dipperstick, and bucket. Pushing the boom/swing<br />

lever to the left will swing the boom and bucket to the "left". Pushing the lever to the right will swing the<br />

boom and bucket to the "right".
