20. Excavating:
Use either the arm or the bucket digging
method to excavate the hole.
a. Be careful not to dig under the stabilizers.
Undermining the stabilizer can cause the
machine to fall into the hole.
b. Dump the bucket far enough away from
the hole so the tailings do not fall back
into the hole.
c. Use a truck with low sides when dumping
the bucket.
21. Bucket Teeth:
The bucket teeth can be replaced. Check on
their condition weekly. Replace if chipped,
bent or damaged.
22. Loads:
The backhoe can be used to lift and place
lines, pipes or other loads into trenches or
excavations.
a. Do not exceed the lifting capacity of the
backhoe. Review the capacity specs and
do not overload.
b. Always position the tractor at right angles
to the trench or excavation when moving
loads.
c. Do not carry or lift people on the back-
hoe.
d. Do not swing loads over people when
placing loads in trenches or excava-
tions.
23. Swing Speed:
All units are equipped with a fl ow divider dial
to control the boom swing speed if the tractor
does not have a fl ow control. Turn clockwise
to slow the swing speed and counterclock-
wise to increase it.
