1.1 S AFET YUnderstand that your safety and the safety of other persons is measured by how you service andoperate this Backhoe.Know the position and operations of all controls before you operate. Make sure you check all controlsin safe area before starting.

Read this manual completely and thoroughly and make sure you understand all controls. Allequipment has a limit. Make sure you are aware of the stability and load characteristics of thisBackhoe before you begin operation.

The Safety Information given in this manual does not replace any safety codes, insurance needs,federal, state and local laws. Make sure your machine has the correct equipment required by yourlocal laws and regulations.

1.2 S AFET Y Precau tio n s

Before starting the engine of your tractor, make sure all operation controls are in park, lock or neutralposition.

Operate controls only when seated in the operator’s seat.

Equip your tractor with a ROPS cab or frame for your protection. See your tractor operator’s manualfor correct usage.

A frequent cause of personal injury or death is persons falling off and being run over. Do not permitothers to ride on your tractor or backhoe. Only one person, the operator, should be on either machinewhen they are in operation.

Before leaving the tractor or backhoe, stop the engine, put all controls in neutral, engage the parkingbrake and remove the key from the ignition.

Operate the Backhoe smoothly when lowering or lifting loads.Stay off of slopes too steep for safe operation. Shift down before you start up or down a hill withheavy load. Avoid “free wheeling”.

Travel speed should be such that complete control and machine stability is maintained at all times.Where possible, avoid operation near ditches, embankments and holes. Reduce speed when turning,crossing slopes, and on rough, slick or muddy surfaces.


1.2 S AFET Y Precau tio n s

Never use your hand to check for suspected leaks under pressure. Use a piece of cardboard or woodfor this purpose. Escaping hydraulic oil or diesel fuel leaking under pressure can have sufficient forceto penetrate the skin and cause infection or other injuries. If this happens seek medical attentionimmediately.

To prevent personal injury, relieve all pressure before disconnecting any fluid lines.

Before applying hydraulic pressure, make sure all hydraulic connections are tight and componentsare in good condition.

Contact with overhead power lines can cause severe electrical burn or electrocution.

Make sure there is enough clearance between raised equipment and overhead power lines.

Add water to rear tires or rear wheel weights for increased stability.

A backhoe attachment should be transported in a low position at slow ground speeds.Make turns slowly and use the tractor brakes cautiously. A loaded attachment in the raised positionalters the center of gravity location of the machine and increases the possibility of mishaps.

Do not stand, walk or work under a raised backhoe attachment. Accidental movement of a controllever or leak in the hydraulic system could cause the backhoe to drop, or attachment to dump,causing severe injury.

Make sure to always park backhoe on a hard level surface with all safety devices engaged toprevent backhoe from falling and being damaged or injuring someone. Stands may be required.

When using a backhoe, be alert of bucket, boom and arm position at all times.

Only operators who have been specially trained in backhoe operation and fully understand thismanual can operate the backhoe.

Keep hands, feet and clothing away from all moving parts. Wear close fitting clothing and appropriatesafety equipment (Which includes, steel toed shoes, protective gloves, hard hat, safety glasses anddusk mask). Prolonged exposure to loud noise can damage hearing. Wear suitable approved hearingprotection such as ear muffs or plugs. Operating equipment safely requires your full attention. Do notwear radio or music headphones. Secure hair above shoulder length.

You must be in good physical and mental health to operate the backhoe safely. Do not operate thebackhoe when you are ill, fatigued or under the influence of any substance or medication that couldaffect your vision, co-ordination or judgment.

ALWAYS CALL BEFORE YOU DIG!
