Removal
1 Park the machine on firm level ground. Engage the
parking brake and set the transmission to neutral.

the mainframe as shown. If necessary ‘sideshift’ the
backhoe into a central position.

stabiliser ram.
5 Remove the inner leg:
a Dissconnect hydralic hoses to stabilser ram.
b Use suitable lifting equipment, lift the inner leg
clear.
c Remove the wear pads.
Replacement
Replacement is a reversal of the removal sequence.
Select suitable size upper pads A to achieve a maximum
permissible float of 1 mm (0.039 in).
Make sure that the bottom pads C are held in position
before guiding the inner leg into position. If the lower pads
are not secured then the inner leg could dislodge the pads
during assembly.
When the inner leg is in position adjust the bottom pads,
refer to Section 3 Stabiliser Legs - Wear Pad Adjustment.
Apply a high pressure grease such as JCB HP Grease (part
number 4003/2000) to the threads of pad B.
