Note: When preparing to carry out the following tasks, the
carrier machine can be disconnected once the backhoe has
been positioned. Refer to the attachment Operator
Handbook for the correct procedures.
Dipper
1 Raise the dipper fully. Lower the boom onto blocks so
that the bucket is just clear of the ground. Lower the
dipper until the bucket rests on the ground.
2 Switch off the engine and operate the backhoe controls
to relieve system pressure.
3 Clean round the hydraulic fittings and then disconnect
the hoses from the bucket ram pipework. Cap the pipes
and hoses to prevent the ingress of dirt and moisture.

and C in turn to disconnect the bucket. Move the bucket
clear.
5 Restart the engine and lower the dipper to the ground.
Repeat step 2.
6 If necessary remove the bucket ram as described in
Rams, Removal and Replacement.
7 Support the weight of the top end of the dipper ram with
suitable lifting equipment. Remove roll pin D and then
pivot pin E. Lower the top end of the dipper ram so that
it rests on the boom and then disconnect the lifting
equipment.
8 Using suitable lifting equipment, support the weight of
the dipper at its boom end. Loosen lock nuts F and then
back off studs G from swivel pin H. Remove the pivot
pin.

indentations align with studs G.
