a minimum.

RH stabilizer lowers. Pull lever back, the RH stabiliz-
er raises.
OPERATING THE BACKHOE
To avoid possible injury, observe the following
safety rules WHEN OPERATING the backhoe.
1. DISENGAGE safety lock pins as shown in
Figure 3 before attempting to operate the back-
hoe. Store lock pins in angled tubes located at
the rear right hand side of the backhoe below the
foot platform. See Figure 3a.
2. OPERATE from the backhoe operator’s seat
only.
3. LOWER the stabilizers until the rear of the trac-
tor is totally supported by them. NOTE: Rear tires
should not come up off of the ground. See
Placing The Stabilizers diagram on Page 12.
4. DO NOT dig near the stabilizers.
5. DO NOT touch overhead wires with any part of
the backhoe.
6. DO NOT attempt to raise the tractor off the
ground or move the tractor forward or backward
using the backhoe dipperstick or bucket.
7. DO NOT lose stability by swinging the bucket
downhill when positioned on a slope.
8. DO NOT lower the backhoe boom using the
“float” function. It will free fall, and could result
in injury to bystanders or damage to the back-
hoe.
In general, the direction of movement of a control
lever corresponds to the movement of the operating
member.
