SAFETY PRECAUTIONS
Do not stand, walk or work under a raised
backhoe or attachment unless it is securely
blocked or held in position. Accidental
movement of a control lever or leak in the
hydraulic system could cause the backhoe to
drop, or attachment to dump, causing severe
injury.
When using a backhoe, be alert of bucket,
boom and dipper stick(arm) position at all
times.
Add recommended rear tire liquid weight or
rear wheel weights for increased stability.
A backhoe attachment should be transported
in a low position at slow ground speeds. Make
turns slowly and use the tractor brakes
cautiously. A loaded attachment in the raised
position alters the center of gravity location of
the machine and increases the possibility of
mishaps.
Contact with overhead power lines can cause
severe electrical burn or death from
electrocution.
Make sure there is enough clearance between
raised equipment and overhead power lines.
Make sure all parked backhoe on stands are on
a hard level surface with all safety devices
engaged to prevent backhoe from falling and
being damaged or injuring someone.
