Subframe can be installed on tractor and backhoe using
tools ordinarily available. Tractor must be equipped with
loader to provide adequate counter weight. 3-point link-
age for 3-point must be removed (see caution below).
Reference to right or left as viewed while sitting on back-
hoe seat.
Complete backhoe installation requires pump kit or
hose kit to operate backhoe from DK45, DK50, or DK55
tractor hydraulic system. Install hydraulic kit before
mounting backhoe.
CAUTION:
If backhoe is being powered by
an auxiliary pump kit or by a hose kit from
tractor rear remotes, 3-pt hitch needs to be
disabled by removing pins from hydraulic
control arms. Failure to do so could result in
damage to backhoe.
Read backhoe operators manual and become familiar
with backhoe controls before installing subframe. Know-
ing how backhoe functions is necessary to attach sub-
frame and backhoe to tractor.
Install swing lock pin so boom remains in straight back
position.
REMOVING BACKHOE FROM PALLET
1. Install pump kit or hose kit. Refer to instructions
packed with kit for proper installation procedure.
Back tractor, parallel to subframe assembly, close to
backhoe.
CAUTION:
Do not remove hardware which se-
cures backhoe to pallet until bucket is installed.
Backhoe may tip over causing damage or seri-
ous personal injury.
2. Remove stabilizers from shipping position. Install
stabilizers to backhoe using pins provided. Connect
stabilizer cylinders to stabilizers using pins provided.

perstick until backhoe is mounted to tractor.
Extending boom or dipperstick may cause
backhoe to tip over resulting in damage to
backhoe or serious personal injury.
