BACKHOE SUB-FRAME INSTALLATION
This mounting kit is designed to provide
secure mounting and adequate operator clear-
ance when properly installed. Check clearance
dimensions shown in figure 1 to be sure you have
installed mounting kit correctly. Follow all mount-
ing instructions in this manual. Do not operate
backhoe unless there is adequate clearance. Fail-
ure 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. Opera-
tor must
• Read Mounting Kit Manual instructions on
attaching and removing backhoe and use
extreme care.
• Always stand between rear tire and back-
hoe stabilizer arms or along side of tractor to
avoid being trapped should the boom swing
control be accidentally activated.
■ Only use 1004624 Sub-Frame Mounting Kit for
mounting Woods BH6500/7500 backhoe on
Kubota MX5000 tractor equipped with or without
Woods 1009, 1012, 1016 loaders or Kubota
LA852-1 and LB702 loaders. Any other use or
modification of this mounting kit may result in
serious injury or death.
Safety instructions are important! Read all
attachment 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
maintenance.
Before working on backhoe, extend boom and
dipperstick and place bucket on ground. Make sure
that all system pressure has been relieved by oper-
ating 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
attachments are in transport position. Without
this weight, tractor could tip over, causing per-
sonal 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 dam-
age. 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 clear-
ances. 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.
