Contamination will shorten the life of hydraulic system
components. Change oil and filter after first 20 hours of
operation and then every 200 hours of operation.
ENGAGE PTO AND RUN AT IDLE FOR 5 MINUTES,
THEN CHECK OIL LEVEL. Add Fluid as necessary.
Position backhoe on level surface. Back tractor up as
near as possible to center of backhoe. Refer to Figure
23 and select a pump mounting that will work on you
specific tractor.
Figure 22. Pump Mounting Bracket Installation
The purpose of the pump mounting bracket is to keep
pump from rotating.
The bracket is designed to slip over the tractor draw-
bar. The best installation is to place bracket down and
offset toward tractor. Offset may be reversed if interfer-
ence occurs.
For tractors with a non-standard drawbar, it may be
necessary to enlarge pump bracket opening. Bracket
may be inverted and retained on top link bar. Make
sure pump is retained, whichever mounting configura-
tion is used.
„ Make sure spring-activated locking pin or collar
slides freely and is seated firmly in tractor PTO
spline groove.
When pump is positioned, check that all hoses and fit-
tings are positioned to avoid contact with other compo-
nents.
Make sure backhoe controls are in centered neutral
position.
With backhoe hydraulic pump securely mounted and
tractor PTO and transmission in neutral, start tractor
engine idling. Engage PTO very carefully and allow
pump to start smoothly.
Very little engine power is required to power the
hydraulic system in this mode. Should engine pull
down excessively, check plumbing hook-up for
reversed lines or a control lever stuck in an operating
position.
„ The only time the backhoe may be operated
from a position other than the operator seat is dur-
ing backhoe attachment and removal. Operator
must:
• Read Mounting Kit Manual instructions on
attac hing and r emoving back hoe and us e
extreme care.
•
Always stand between rear tire and backhoe
stabilizer arms or along side of tractor to avoid
being trapped should the boom swing control
be accidentally activated.
„ Never use 3-point mounted backhoe on tractor
equipped with cab or ROPS unless 3-point hitch
