Stiff Arm Backhoe
January 2016
Your backhoe attachment is
compatible with attachment couplers
from all major skid steer
manufacturers. This backhoe should
only be used on skid steers with a
compatible attachment coupler.
A skid steer equipped with tracks will
provide superior traction in this
application.
Make sure your
skid steer is in good working
condition. Follow the operating
instructions found in the manual that
accompanied your skid steer. Failure
to do so could result in Minor or
Serious Injury.
Your attachment arrives from the
factory banded to a wooden pallet,
and requires no final assembly.
Careless
removal of the shipping bands that
secure the implement to the pallet
could result in Minor or Serious Injury.
Clear the area of all bystanders and
stand to the side when cutting the
bands with a pair of sheet metal
shears.
Never enter the
area underneath the coupler or any
part of the attachment when it is in
the raised position to avoid an
accident that will result in Death or
Serious Injury.
Verify that the hydraulic hoses are
clear from the front of the attaching
plate on the attachment and that the
mounting plate is free from dirt and
debris. When clear, move the skid
steer to proximity of attachment plate.
Tilt skid steer coupler forward to align
coupling point with the upper part on
the attachment plate and raise the
coupler slightly.
When the top edge of the coupler is
seated in the top part of the coupler
plate, roll the skid steer tilt function
back until the attaching plate is flat
against the skid steer coupler. Lock
down the coupler levers.
Wipe off any dirt
or dust from the male or female
hydraulic flat-face couplers with a
clean rag before attaching hoses, to
keep contaminants from entering the
hydraulic system.
Connect the backhoe hydraulic hoses
to the auxiliary circuit connectors on
the skid steer.
Check the surrounding area for
bystanders and clear them before
starting the skid steer or attachment.
