SAFETY
Check your work area. Avoid hitting overhead electrical wires, underneath cables, pipes, gas lines
and etc.
Be sure operating area is clear of others during machine operations.
Never lift, hoist, or carry humans in the bucket or on any portion of the backhoe or backhoe
attachments. Failure to heed, may result in serious injury or death.
Do not adjust relief valve setting. This valve is factory set and should be adjusted only by a
qualified service person. Incorrect valve setting could result in equipment damage and/or personal
injury.
Block off work area from all bystanders, livestock, etc. Allow plenty of room for backhoe reach
and swing.
Operate only from the backhoe seat.
Use your backhoe only for digging. Do not use it to pull things, as a battering ram, or attach ropes,
chains, etc., to the unit.
Lower stabilizers and bucket when removing backhoe. This will increase the stability of the unit.
Do not dig close to stabilizers, the ground could collapse from under the backhoe.
Do not lift loads in excess of the backhoe capacity.
Always lower the backhoe bucket and stabilizers to ground, shut off engine, remove key and apply
the parking brake before leaving the unit unattended.
TRANSPORTING:
Be sure to engage the boom lock before transporting backhoe. Failure to do so could cause an
unstable traveling condition.
Allow for height of backhoe when transporting backhoe so as not to catch unit on low overhangs or
wires.
Use safety lights and SMV emblem in addition to whatever local codes require when equipment is
being transported on the road or highway. Check with proper authorities for legal limitations.
Do not drive close to ditches, excavations, etc. cave in could result. Drive slow over rough terrain.
