-9SAFE OPERATION
BACKHOE
Most backhoe equipment accidents can be avoided by following simple safety precautions.
These safety precautions, if followed at all times, will help you operate your backhoe safely.
1. Read and understand all precautions in this manual
before service or operation. Allow only trained
personnel to operate or service this equipment.
2. It is the owner’s responsibility to ensure that anyone
who will operate the backhoe reads this manual first
and becomes familiar with the safe operation of the
backhoe.
3. For safe operation, check the mounting bolts for
tightness and that the mount levers are in the right
position before operation.
4. Never operate tractor with backhoe attached and
loader removed.
5. Check for buried material such as electrical,
telephone, gas and water lines. When in doubt,
contact local utility companies for their buried location
prior to operating the backhoe.
6. Replace any safety decal that becomes damaged, lost
or illegible. Also renew all decals when repainting.
1. Do not allow anyone other than the operator on the
unit while in operation or transport.
2. Keep all person and animals away from swing area of
backhoe.
3. Use care when operating on slopes to avoid tip-over.
Travel at a speed compatible with safe operation,
especially when operating on uneven terrain, crossing
ditches or while turning.
4. Operate the backhoe from the backhoe operator's seat
only.
5. When using on slopes, one stabilizer may be lower
than the other. Use extreme care during excavation as
risk of tip-over will increase.
6. To reduce the risk of tip-over on a slope, place the
spoil to the high side of the excavation.
7. Do not dig under the stabilizer or tractor, especially in
soft or sandy condition. Take extra precaution in wet or
thawing ground.
These conditions can become unstable and may
collapse under the weight of the machine and may
cause tip over.
8. Never operate the machine or any equipment while
under the influence of alcohol or other drugs, or while
fatigued.
9. When leaving the machine unattended, be sure to
lower the backhoe to the ground. Set the parking
brake, then shut the engine off and remove the key.
1. Raise and center the boom, close the dipperstick, curl
the bucket and engage the boom and swing locks
before transporting the machine.
2. Check the local codes or regulations that may apply to
tractor / loader / backhoe operation on public streets or
highways, before transporting or traveling. Use SMV
emblem and warning flashers as required.
(SMV : Slow Moving Vehicle)
1. Before disconnecting hydraulic lines, relieve all
hydraulic pressure by moving the controls.
2. Always use personal protection device such as safety
goggles and ear protection when servicing or repairing
the machine.
3. Lower the backhoe to the ground and shut the engine
off before servicing.
4. When servicing or repairing pins in cylinder ends,
bucket, etc., always use a brass drift and hammer.
Failure to do so could result in injury from flying metal
fragments.
5. To avoid serious personal injury, keep clear of working
area of the backhoe.
6. When servicing or checking underneath, do not get
under the machine while it is being held with only the
bucket, backhoe or stabilizers. Securely support with
jack stands.
7. For your safety, do not work under any hydraulically
supported machine elements. They can settle,
suddenly leak down, or be accidentally lowered.
8. Escaping hydraulic fluid under pressure can have
sufficient force to penetrate the skin, causing serious
personal injury. Before applying pressure to the
system, be sure that all connections are tight and that
lines, pipes and hoses are not damaged. Fluid
escaping from a very small hole can be almost
invisible. Do not use hands to search for suspected
leaks, use a piece of cardboard or wood. If injured by
escaping fluid, see a doctor at once. Serious infection
or allergic reaction will develop if proper medical
treatment is not administered immediately.
9. Do not tamper with any backhoe control valve relief
pressure setting. The relief valve pressure is preset at
the factory. Changing the setting can cause
overloading of the backhoe and the tractor, and
serious personal injury or death may result.
10.Do not modify the backhoe for any reason. Modifying
the backhoe can cause an unstable condition of the
tractor / loader / backhoe combination and serious
personal injury or death may result.
