Mount Backhoe to Tractor
This mounting kit is designed to provide
secure mounting and adequate operator clear-
ance for most operators when properly installed.
Check clearance dimensions shown below to be
sure you have installed seat bracket correctly. In
some cases it may be necessary to adjust the seat
to the lowest position and/or as far forward as
possible in order to achieve the ideal 40-inch
clearance. For 36.5-inch radius operation, taller
operators may need to wear a hardhat for greater
comfort and safety.
The only time the backhoe may be operated
from a position other than the operator seat is
during backhoe attachment and removal. Opera-
tor 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.
Remove seat and upper support assembly
before installing or removing backhoe from power
unit. Failure to comply may result in equipment
failure and/or personal injury.
Check Hydraulic System
Check all hydraulic fittings and lines to be sure they
are tight and free of kinks or twists.
Mount Backhoe
1. Remove the backhoe seat assembly.
2. Back tractor up to backhoe and center mount
between the tractor rear tires. Position tractor so
that the hydraulic system can be connected. Shut
off tractor, set brake, remove key.
3. Attach backhoe hydraulic system.
A. Connect male quick coupler on hose from
OUT port on the backhoe control valve to the
female quick coupler on the bulkhead adapter
bracket.
B. Connect male quick coupler on hose from
hydraulic block to the female quick coupler on the
backhoe bracket crossmember.
4. With the tractor PTO and transmission in neutral,
start the engine and run at low idle. Hydraulic
power is provided when the tractor is started.
NOTE: Very little engine power is required to
operate the hydraulic system in this mode.
Should the engine pull down excessively, check
the plumbing hook-up for reversed lines or a con-
trol lever stuck in an operating position.
NOTE: You will use the backhoe hydraulics to
maneuver the backhoe brackets into position.
Use care in this procedure to avoid being trapped
between tractor and backhoe or between back-
hoe parts.
