BACKHOE SUB-FRAME INSTALLATION
The sub-frame mount is designed to provide
secure mounting and adequate operator clearance
when properly installed. Check clearance dimen-
sions shown in figure 1 to be sure you have installed
sub-frame correctly. Follow all mounting instruc-
tions in this manual. Do not operate backhoe unless
there is adequate clearance. Failure to check and
comply with these instructions may result in serious
injury or death.
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 Sub-Frame Mounting Kit Manual instruc-
tions 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.
■ Only use #1004327 Sub-Frame Mounting Kit for
mounting Woods BH6500/7500 backhoe on Kioti
DK40 tractor equipped with Woods 1009/1012/1016
loaders or Kioti 1470 loader. Any other use or modi-
fication of this mounting kit may result in serious
injury or death.
Safety instructions are important! Read all attach-
ment and power unit manuals; follow all safety rules
and safety decal information. (Replacement manuals
are available from dealer or, in the United States and
Canada, call 1-800-319-6637.) Failure to follow
instructions or safety rules can result in serious
injury or death.
Keep all persons away from operator control area
while performing adjustments, service, or mainte-
nance.
Before working on backhoe, extend boom and dip-
perstick and place bucket on ground. Make sure that
all system pressure has been relieved by operating
controls before performing maintenance or service or
before disconnecting any hydraulic lines.
A minimum 25% of tractor and equipment weight
must be on the tractor front wheels when attach-
ments 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.
Make sure all hydraulic hoses, fittings, and
valves are in good condition and not leaking before
starting power unit or using equipment. Check and
route hoses carefully to prevent damage. Hoses
must not be twisted, bent sharply, kinked, frayed,
pinched, or come into contact with any moving
parts. Operate moveable components through full
operational range to check clearances. Replace any
damaged hoses immediately.
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 preven-
tion 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.
