PTO RPM. Use a moderate engine speed to start and
increase it as your experience permits.
CONTROLS
The backhoe has two major control levers, Boom/Swing
and Dipperstick/Bucket. These controls are located on the
control panel directly ahead of the operator .
The stabilizer control levers are located between the two
major control levers.
BOOM/SWING
Push lever forward, boom moves down, away from
operator. Pull lever back, boom moves up, toward

Pushing lever farther forward into detent position puts
boom into “float”. Float detent position allows boom to drift

right, backhoe swings right.
By moving lever to one of the intermediate positions,
boom can be swung left or right at the same time as it is
being raised or lowered, performing two operations
simultaneously.
Swing left and lower boom by moving control lever
forward and to the left.
Swing left and raise boom by moving control lever back
and to the left.
Swing right and lower boom by moving control lever
forward and to the right.
