When transporting or dismounting backhoe, you must lock the backhoe's swing and boom.
Position boom straight back and drop pin through holes in swing frame and boom. When not in use,
store pin in hole provided on swing frame and boom.
Observe the following safety warnings when working with your new backhoe/tractor.
