Farmer-Helper BH 8 & 9

Revision 08 - 2017

These  two  levers  (Crowd  and  swing  control  lever,  Bucket  and  Boom  control  lever)  provide  four
simultaneous  operations.  Both  experience  and  practice  are  needed  to  eliminate  excess  motion  and
increase operating efficiency.

Swing Lock and Boom Lock 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.

CAUTION

When using a backhoe, be aware of bucket and boom location at all times. When raising a arm
(dipperstick) with bucket rolled forward, material can spill onto non target area causing injury to
assistant or damage other objects.

Do not dig near stabilizers. Ground under stabilizers could collapse. Make all movements slow
and gradual when practicing operation.

Operate from backhoe operators seat only. Pay attention, be ready to stop, immediately in case
of an emergency.

To help prevent roll-over, adjust the rear wheels to their widest setting to maximize stability.
Refer to your Tractor Operator's Manual for recommendations.
