BACKHOE OPERATION
▶ Initial backhoe operation
Before operating the backhoe, fully raise and lower
the boom, arm, swing and stabilizers two or three
times. Then raise the bucket above the ground and
cycle the bucket cylinders three times. Lower the
bucket to the ground. Check the tractor hydraulic oil
and the correct oil level.
Caution:
Before leaving the machine, stop the engine,
remove the key, place all controls in neutral,
and either set the parking brake or place tractor in
park as equipped.
Always keep cylinders in a retracted position when
the backhoe is not in use to guard against rust and
contamination which may cause damage to the
cylinder rods or hydraulic system.
Also, lock the swing and boom while tractor is
moving and storing for an extended period.
▶ Cold weather operation
For smooth operation in cold weather, let the tractor
warm up. Slowly cycle all the cylinders several times
to warm the oil in the hydraulic system. The backhoe
may operate erratically until the hydraulic oil has
warmed to operating temperatures.
Caution :
Operate controls only when seated in the operator's seat.
