Operate
5. Use boom/swing control and bucket/
dipper control to dig hole or trench. For
more information about backhoe controls,
see “Backhoe Console” on page 63.
• Keep dipper and boom at right angles
as much as possible for maximum
power.
• Keep bucket in line with dipper as
much as possible.
• Position bucket so teeth cut soil. As
soil is cut, curl bucket under dipper.
• Move dipper and bucket together.
Increasing engine speed will not
increase backhoe force.
