Safety Rules
It is the operator's responsibility to read, understand and follow ALL safety and operation instructions
In this manual. If you do not understand any part of this manual and require assistance, contact your
dealer.
The operator of this backhoe must be a responsible, physically able person familiar with machinery and trained in this
machine's operation.
Provide instructions to anyone else who is going to operate the machine. This equipment is dangerous to anyone unfamiliar
with its operation.
Review safety related items annually with all personnel who will be operating or performing maintenance.
Make sure all safety signs on the machine are understood before operating, servicing, adjusting or cleaning. Being unfamiliar
with a machine can lead to injuries.
Replace any safety sign or instruction sign that is not readable or is missing.
Never exceed the limitations of the machine. If its ability to do the job, or to do it safely is in question–STOP!
Have a first-aid kit and fire extinguisher available for use should the need arise and know how to use them.
Do not modify the equipment in any way. Unauthorized modifications may affect the integrity of the machine or the ability of
the machine to perform as designed. Modifications can impair safety or function. They can affect the life of the equipment and
void warranty.
Make sure the suspension is correctly mounted and all hardware is torqued to specifications to preventbackhoe from moving
when digging.
Never operate the backhoe without the top link installed. Make sure it is correctly adjusted to prevent the backhoe from being
pushed upward by digging force. If thebackhoe moves upward the operator can be crushed against the ROPS, FOPS, or cab.
Make sure there is adequate head room for the operator.
The skid steer loader must be equipped with a front loader and ROPS (Roll Over Protection Structure) or ROPS cab. Always
wear your seat belt when operating the skid steer loader.
Do not install backhoe if the total machine weight exceeds the ROPS weight certification.
Ensure suspension is firmly attached and all hardware is torqued to specifications to prevent backhoe frommoving when
digging.
Operating Safety
• Wear appropriate Personal Protective Equipment (PPE) when using this machine.
This includes but is not limited to:
-Hard hat
-Hearing Protection
-Protective shoes with slip resistant soles
-Protective glasses
• Always wear hearing protection if the noise in any area you work in exceeds 80 dB.
-Noise over 85 dB on a long-term basis can cause severe hearing loss.
-Exposure to noise over 90 dB over a long-term basis may cause permanent, total
hearing loss.
-Hearing loss from loud noise (from engines, chainsaws, radios, and other such sources
close to the ear) is cumulative over a lifetime, without hope of natural recovery.
• Know your controls and how to stop engine and attachment quickly in an emergency.
• Be aware of overhead hazards: branches, cables, electrical wires. Have an underground utility
locating/marking service survey the area before digging.
• Keep boom and bucket away from overhead and underground power lines and utilities. High-voltage power lines can cause
electrocution without direct contact.
• Be sure machine is properly mounted, adjusted and in good operating condition.
• Follow the Pre-operation Checklist before starting work.

• If the backhoe is powered by the tractor / skid steer hydraulic system, oil pressure and flow must beproperly matched. If a
PTO drive is used, be sure speed is correct and PTO shaft is properly shielded.
• Never operate controls from the ground. Operate only from the operator's seat to prevent unexpected boommovement that
can lead to crushing between frame members. Ensure all control levers are in neutral or off position before starting.
• Keep all bystanders in the designated safe zone during operation. Never carry, lift or move people on boom or bucket.
• Do not allow riders on this machine at any time. There is no safe place for any riders.
• Have an assistant on site to help you stay aware of situations that may be dangerous. Have the assistant stay in the
designated safe zone, wearing bright, reflective clothing.
• Inspect and secure all guards before starting.
• Before exiting the equipment, always lower the bucket to the ground and engage the parking brake.
• Operate the equipment at a speed that allows you maintain control at all times. Drive slowly over rough terrain and avoid
obstacles.
• Use extreme caution on inclines and edges where the ground could give way.
• Do not try to turn on a steep slope as this could result in a roll-over.
• Face the equipment when getting on and off.Maintain 3-point contact with steps and handrails.
• Never operate this machine under the influence ofalcohol or drugs. Consult your doctor about using this machine while
taking prescription medications.
• Do not dig under machine or stabilizers. A cave-in could result causing the machine to fall into the excavation.
• Do not exceed machine lift capacity. Overloading cancause structural damage and lead to unsafe operating conditions.
• Position backhoe so that loads extend directlybehind machine when lifting or placing heavy objects.
• Do not walk or work under a raised machine or attachment unless it is securely blocked or held in position. Donot
depend on the skid steer loader’s hydraulic system to hold the load.
• Keep stabilizers and front bucket on the ground to stabilize the machine. Skid steer loader’s wheels must be resting on the
ground during operation. Working with the wheels raised off the ground could result in serious injury or death and may cause
damage to the machine.
• Be careful operating the skid steer bucket/ loader controls if the backhoe is attached that way.It could cause damage to the
tractor subframe or skid steertieback.
• Train all new personnel and review instructions frequently with existing workers. Be certain only a properly trained and
physically able person uses the machinery. A person who has not read and understood all instructions is not qualified to use
the machine. An untrained operator can cause possible serious injury or death.
• If this machine is used by any other person, loaned or rented, it is the owner's responsibility to make certain that prior to
using, every operator:
- has read and understands the instructions in the operator's manual
- is instructed in safe and proper use of the equipment
- knows how to place the machine in a SafeCondition (see next page)
Safe Condition
Throughout this manual, we talk about a '
Safe Condition
'. What this means is parking the machine in a manner that makes it
safe to service or repair.
Place the machine in a Safe Condition before performing any service, maintenance work or storage preparation by performing
the following:
•Install boom and swing lock pins, or rest bucket on ground.
•Shut off hydraulic system.
•Set parking brake and shut off engine. Removeignition key.
•Ensure all components have stopped moving.
•Block or chock wheels.

Maintenance Safety
• Have at least two workers present when performing maintenance on this equipment. Never work alone in case an emergency
should arise.
• Keep service area clean and dry.
• Never operate the engine in a closed building. Make sure there is plenty of ventilation. Exhaust fumes can cause asphyxiation.
• Never work under unsupported equipment.
• Use only genuine OEM replacement parts. The manufacturer is not responsible for injuries or damage caused by the use of
non-approved parts oraccessories.
• Make sure all safety shields and devices are re-installed when a maintenance or service procedure is finished.
• Do not use gasoline or diesel fuel when cleaning any parts. Use a regular cleanser.
• Use proper tools that are in good condition. Make sure the procedure is understood before performing any service work.
Hydraulic System Safety
• Make sure that all the components in the hydraulic system are kept clean and in good condition.
• Make sure all components are tight, and that lines, hoses and couplings are not damaged before
applying pressure to the system.
• Do not use your hand to check for hydraulic oil leaks. Hydraulic fluid escaping under pressure
canpenetrate the skin causing serious injury. Use a piece of cardboard instead.
• Wear proper hand and eyeprotection when searching for a high-pressure hydraulic leak.
• Seek medical attention immediately if injured by a concentrated high-pressure stream of
hydraulicfluid. Serious infection or toxic reaction can develop from hydraulic fluid piercing the
skin surface.
• Do not attempt any makeshift repairs to the hydraulic lines, fittings or hoses by using tape, clamps or cements. Doing so can
cause sudden failure and create a hazardous and unsafe condition.
• Relieve pressure on the hydraulic system beforeworking it. The hydraulic system operates under extremely high pressure.
• Replace any hydraulic hose immediately that showssigns of swelling, wear, leaks, or damage before it bursts.
• Do not bend or strike high-pressure lines, tubes orhoses, or reinstall them in a bent or damaged condition.
• Check to make sure hydraulic hoses are not worn or damaged, and are routed to avoid chafing.
• Never adjust a pressure relief valve or otherpressure- limiting device to a higher pressure than specified.
Safe Zone
For safety of others during operation, set up a Work Zone around the machine. Mark the area with safety cones. Outside of that
would be considered a designated Safe Zone for other workers or bystanders.
Always know where all workers and bystanders are when operating the backhoe. Have them stay outside of the work zone in
the designated Safe Zone. They should only enter the work zone when:
–The person has made eye contact with and signaled the backhoe operator.
–The backhoe is in transport position or backhoe bucket is resting on the ground.
–The engine is shut off.

Work Zone
Establish a Work Zone perimeter the length of maximum boom reach and swing arc. Mark an additional area at least 3 ft (1 m)
around the stabilizers.
While using the backhoe, always be aware of bystanders in the area. A swinging boom can create a collision hazard to workers
or bystanders. Injury may occur from heavy material falling or dropping from the bucket.

Safety within your work zone
The safest place for the operator is in the operator’s seat.
Always operate the backhoe controls from the operator’s seat.
Always be aware of the position of the boom and material being handled.
Be aware of bystanders and workers when lowering stabilizers. Make sure they are in the safe zone where they cannot be
injured.
Always be aware of hazards such as:
Underground utilities
Tree roots
Structures close to the excavation site
Excavating on a slope
Excavating too close to the stabilizers
Modify your work zone to account for overhead hazards:
Telephone lines
Tree branches
Roof overhang
Wash lines, ropes or cables
Power lines—maintain a 20 ft (6 m) distance. Electrocution can occur without direct contact (arcing).

The safety decals and their positions are shown on the illustration below. Good safety requires that you familiarize yourself with
the various safety decals, the type of warning and the area or specific function related to that area that requires your SAFETY
