5. BACKHOE OPERATION

We urge you to follow this advice: Failure to do so will result in a voidedwarranty, personal injury, or damage to equipment

Caution: When lowering a heavy load, ease it downward slowly. Never drop a loadedattachment and “catch it hydraulically”. Stopping a load after it has gained downloadmomentum places undue strain on the unit and may void your warranty, cause unnecessary damageto the backhoe/tractor or even worse, personal injury.

Caution: Before disconnecting hydraulic lines, relieve all hydraulic pressure. Escapinghydraulic oil under pressure can have sufficient force to penetrate the skin causing serious personalinjury. If injured by escaping hydraulic oil, seek medical attention immediately.

Caution: Do not operate the backhoe if the fittings are leaking or if the hoses aredamaged. A sudden line burst would cause the boom, or dipper arm bucket to dropsuddenly, void the warranty, cause damage to the tractor/backhoe or injury to personnel.

Important

CAUTION: Escaping fluid under pressure can have sufficient force to penetrate theskin, causing serious injury, before disconnecting lines, be sure to relieve all pressure.Before applying pressure to the system, be sure all connections are tight and that lines, pipes and hosesare not damaged. Fluid escaping from a very small hole can be almost invisible. Use a piece ofcardboard or wood rather than your hands to sear for suspected leaks. If injured by escaping fluid,seek medical attention immediately. Serious infection or reaction can develop if correct medicaltreatment is not administered immediately.
