Make sure you meet minimum clearance distances
between ROPS or tractor cab. Required head clear-
ance must take priority. Refer to Danger decal on
page 10. Make any adjustments required.
1. The bolt center distance attaching the diagonal
brace to the top link must not be more than 6-3/4"
from the tractor top link pin.
2. The bolts joining the two halves of the top link must
not be less than 2-1/2" apart.
3. The vertical distance between the attachment point
for the lower lift arms and the top link pin must not
be less that 12".
When clearance distances are verified and attachment
is complete, tighten hitch pin nuts to 600 ft-lbs. and
secure with cotter pin. Hitch pin nuts may be easier to
torque if the backhoe is removed from tractor.
Mount backhoe to tractor and tighten bolts attaching

diagonal bars to top link and bolts attaching
top link bars together to 450 ft-lbs.
Safety Chain Installation
Secure backhoe to tractor by inserting safety chain
through lower lift arm bracket (21) or wrapping around
tractor axle (22). The preferred attachment is through
bracket (21). Remove as much slack from chain as you
can.
„ Make sure safety chain is properly connected
and secured to tractor.
Make sure tractor lower lift arm stabilizers (blocks or
chains) are positioned to prevent lift arms and backhoe
from swaying.
Secure hydraulic hoses between pump and backhoe
with nylon ties to prevent them from contacting sharp
objects.
Check hose positioning carefully through full range of
swing cylinder movement.
Fully extend and retract all cylinders several times to
purge all air from the hydraulic system. Retract all cylin-
der and fill hydraulic reservoir to full mark on dipstick.
Seat Installation
The seat (2) may be adjusted fore and aft by loosening
mounting hardware. It may also be moved up and
down using the adjustment holes in the seat support
assembly (1). Make sure you do not adjust seat into a
position that will place the operator in the danger zone
as outlined on the safety decals.
„ Do not operate backhoe unless there is ade-
quate operator clearance as shown on safety
decal. (Refer to Danger decal in Safety Decal sec-
tion.)
