ASSEMBLY
DEALER SET-UP INSTRUCTION
Backhoe assembly is the responsibility of the WOODS
dealer. The backhoe should be delivered to the owner
completely assembled, lubricated and adjusted for nor-
mal operating conditions.
Set up backhoe as received from the factory with the
instructions and illustrations.
„ Always wear relatively tight and belted clothing
to avoid getting caught in moving parts. Wear
sturdy, rough-soled work shoes and protective
equipment for eyes, hair, hands, hearing, and head;
and respirator or filter mask where appropriate
.
A lifting bar is provided to maneuver the backhoe while
it is on the pallet. While backhoe is on a pallet, do not
lift from any other point. When backhoe is removed
from the pallet, remove lifting bar and discard.
Remove lag screw from swing frame, rotate boom and
dipper and install swing lock pin. Open parts bag and
box and lay out parts to make identification easy. Refer
to parts lists and exploded view drawing.
The backhoe is shipped partially assembled. Assembly
will be easier if components are aligned and loosely
assembled before tightening hardware.
Recommended torque values for hardware are given
on page 55.
IMPORTANT
■ When finished with assembly, the dealer is to
complete the check lists on page 34.
ASSEMBLY PROCEDURE
„ It is recommended that power unit be equipped
with ROPS or ROPS cab and seat belt. Keep seat
belt securely fastened. Falling off power unit can
result in death from being run over or crushed.
Keep foldable ROPS systems in “locked up” posi-
tion at all times.
„ Refer to “Mounting Guide” (available from your
dealer) for some tractors not originally equipped
with 1” diameter pins.
„ A minimum 20% of tractor and equipment
weight must be on tractor front wheels with back-
hoe in transport position. Without this weight, trac-
tor could tip over, causing personal injury or death.
The weight may be attained with a loader, front
wheel weights, ballast in tires, or front tractor
weights. When attaining the minimum 20% weight
on the front wheels, you must not exceed the Roll
Over Protection Structure (ROPS) weight certifica-
tion. Weigh the tractor and equipment. Do not esti-
mate.
Read instructions before starting assembly. You will
save yourself assembly time.
Move Seat Support Assembly
Move seat support assembly from the four forward
holes on main frame to the four rearward holes for
operation. It will be easier to do this before mounting
backhoe on tractor.
