SAFETY
YOU are responsible for the SAFE operation and
maintenance of your Wallenstein Backhoe Attach-
ment. YOU must ensure that you and anyone
else who is going to use, maintain or work around
the Backhoe be familiar with the using and main-
tenance procedures and related SAFETY informa-
tion contained in this manual. This manual will
take you step-by-step through your working day
and alerts you to all good safety practices that
should be used while using the Backhoe.
Remember, YOU are the key to safety. Good
safety practices not only protect you but also the
people around you. Make these practices a work-
ing part of your safety program. Be certain that
EVERYONE using this equipment is familiar with
the recommended using and maintenance proce-
dures and follows all the safety precautions. Most
accidents can be prevented. Do not risk injury or
death by ignoring good safety practices.
• Backhoe Attachment owners must give oper-
ating instructions to operators or employees
before allowing them to operate the machine,
and at least annually thereafter.
• The most important safety device on this
equipment is a SAFE operator. It is the op-
erator’s responsibility to read and understand
ALL Safety and Operating instructions in the
manual and to follow these. Most accidents
can be avoided.
• A person who has not read and understood all
using and safety instructions is not qualified
to use the machine. An untrained operator
exposes himself and bystanders to possible
serious injury or death.
• Do not modify the equipment in any way.
Unauthorized modification may impair the
function and/or safety and could affect the life
of the equipment.
• Think SAFETY! Work SAFELY!
1. Read and understand the
Operator’s Manual and all
safety signs before operat-
ing, maintaining, adjusting or
servicing the Backhoe.
2.1 GENERAL SAFETY

4
2.2 EQUIPMENT SAFETY GUIDELINES
1. Safety of the operator and bystanders is one
of the main concerns in designing and de-
veloping equipment. However, every year
many accidents occur which could have been
avoided by a few seconds of thought and a
more careful approach to handling equipment.
You, the operator, can avoid many accidents
by observing the following precautions in this
section. To avoid personal injury or death,
study the following precautions and insist
those working with you, or for you, follow
them.
2. In order to provide a better view, certain
photographs or illustrations in this manual
may show an assembly with a safety shield
removed. However, equipment should never
be used in this condition. Keep all shields in
place. If shield removal becomes necessary
for repairs, replace the shield prior to use.
3. Replace any safety sign or instruction sign
that is not readable or is missing. Location of
such safety signs is indicated in this manual.
4. Never use alcoholic beverages or drugs which
can hinder alertness or coordination while us-
ing this equipment. Consult your doctor about
using this machine while taking prescription
medications.
5. Under no circumstances should young
children be allowed to work with this
equipment. Do not allow persons to use or
assemble this unit until they have read this
manual and have developed a thorough
understanding of the safety precautions
and of how it works. Review the safety
instructions with all users annually.
6. This equipment is dangerous to children and
persons unfamiliar with its operation. The
operator should be a responsible, properly
trained and physically able person familiar
with machinery and trained in this equipment's
operations. If the elderly are assisting with
work, their physical limitations need to be
recognized and accommodated.
7. Never exceed the limits of a piece of machin-
ery. If its ability to do a job, or to do so safely,
is in question - DON'TTRY IT.
8. Do not modify the equipment in any way. Un-
authorized modification may result in serious
injury or death and may impair the function
and life of the equipment.
9. In addition to the design and configuration of
this implement, including Safety Signs and
Safety Equipment, hazard control and ac-
cident prevention are dependent upon the
awareness, concern, prudence, and proper
training of personnel involved in the operation,
transport, maintenance, and storage of the
machine. Refer also to Safety Messages and
operation instruction in each of the appropri-
ate sections of the engine and machine manu-
als. Pay close attention to the Safety Signs
affixed to the tractor and the machine.

5
2.3 SAFETYTRAINING
1. Safety is a primary concern in the design and
manufacture of our products. Unfortunately,
our efforts to provide safe equipment can
be wiped out by a single careless act of an
operator or bystander.
2. In addition to the design and configuration of
equipment, hazard control and accident pre-
vention are dependent upon the awareness,
concern, prudence and proper training of
personnel involved in the operation, transport,
maintenance and storage of this equipment.
3. It has been said, "The
best safety feature is an
informed, careful opera-
tor." We ask you to be that
kind of an operator. It is the
operator's responsibility to read and under-
stand ALL Safety and Using instructions in the
manual and to follow these. Accidents can be
avoided.
4. Working with unfamiliar equipment can lead
to careless injuries. Read this manual before
assembly or using, to acquaint yourself with
the machine. If this machine is used by any
person other than yourself, or is loaned or
rented, it is the machine owner's responsibil-
ity to make certain that the operator, prior to
using:
a. Reads and understands the operator's
manuals.
b. Is instructed in safe and proper use.
5. Know your controls and how to stop power
unit engine and machine quickly in an emer-
gency. Read this manual and the one pro-
vided with your engine.
6. Train all new personnel and review instruc-
tions frequently with existing workers. Be
certain only a properly trained and physically
able person will use the machinery. A person
who has not read and understood all using
and safety instructions is not qualified to use
the machine. An untrained operator exposes
himself and bystanders to possible serious in-
jury or death. If the elderly are assisting with
the work, their physical limitations need to be
recognized and accommodated.
2.4 SAFETY SIGNS
1. Keep safety signs clean and legible at all
times.
2. Replace safety signs that are missing or have
become illegible.
3. Replaced parts that displayed a safety sign
should also display the current sign.
4. Safety signs displayed in Section 3 each have
a part number in the lower right hand corner.
Use this part number when ordering replace-
ment parts.
5. Safety signs are available from your author-
ized Distributor or Dealer Parts Department or
the factory.
How to Install Safety Signs:
• Be sure that the installation area is clean and
dry.
• Be sure temperature is above 50°F (10°C).
• Determine exact position before you remove
the backing paper.
• Remove the smallest portion of the split back-
ing paper.
• Align the sign over the specified area and
carefully press the small portion with the ex-
posed sticky backing in place.
• Slowly peel back the remaining paper and
carefully smooth the remaining portion of the
sign in place.
• Small air pockets can be pierced with a pin
and smoothed out using the piece of sign
backing paper.

6
2.5 PREPARATION
1. Never use the engine and machine until you
have read and completely understand this
manual, the Tractor Operator's Manual and
each of the Safety Messages found on the
safety signs on the tractor and machine.
2. Personal pro-
tection equip-
ment including
hard hat, safety
glasses, safety
shoes, and
gloves are rec-
ommended dur-
ing assembly,
installation, operation, adjustment, maintain-
ing, repairing, removal, cleaning, or moving
the unit. Do not allow long hair, loose fitting
clothing or jewelery to be around equipment.
3. PROLONGED EXPOSURE
TO LOUD NOISE MAY
CAUSE PERMANENT
HEARING LOSS!
Power equipment with or
without equipment attached
can often be noisy enough
to cause permanent, partial
hearing loss. We recommend that you wear
hearing protection on a full-time basis if the
noise in the Operator's position exceeds 80db.
Noise over 85db on a long-term basis can
cause severe hearing loss. Noise over 90db
adjacent to the Operator over a long-term ba-
sis may cause permanent, total hearing loss.
NOTE: Hearing loss from loud noise (from
tractors, chain saws, radios, and other such
sources close to the ear) is cumulative over a
lifetime without hope of natural recovery.
4. Operate the machine only
with a tractor equipped
with an approved Roll-
Over-Protective Structure
(ROPS). Always wear
your seat belt when oper-
ating the tractor. Serious
injury or even death could
result from falling off the
tractor - - particularly during a turnover when
the operator could be pinned under the ROPS
or the tractor.
5. Review maps of underground utilities before
starting to dig. Remove all sticks, stones,
roots, and wires from working area before
starting. Take care not to contact overhead
and underground obstructions during opera-
tion.
6. Keep boom and bucket away from overhead
and underground power lines. Electrocution
can occur without direct contact with an over-
head power line.
7. Operate only in daylight or good artificial light.
8. Be sure machine is properly mounted, adjust-
ed and in good operating condition.
9. Ensure that all safety shielding and safety
signs are properly installed and in good condi-
tion.

7
2.6 OPERATING SAFETY
1. Please remember it is important that you read
and heed the safety signs on the Backhoe.
Clean or replace all safety signs if they can-
not be clearly read and understood. They are
there for your safety, as well as the safety of
others. The safe use of this machine is strictly
up to you, the operator.
2. All things with moving parts are potentially
hazardous. There is no substitute for a cau-
tious, safe-minded operator who recognizes
potential hazards and follows reasonable
safety practices. The manufacturer has
designed this Backhoe to be used with all
its safety equipment properly attached, to
minimize the chance of accidents. Study
this manual to make sure you have all safety
equipment attached.
3. If a safety shield or guard is removed for any
reason, it must be replaced before the ma-
chine is again operated.
4. Always use the drawbar anchor bracket when
mounting a Backhoe to tractor. Adjust to pre-
vent Backhoe from moving when digging.
5. Attach the tractor side plate to reinforce the
frame if required. Do not overload the tractor
frame.
6. Do not use a "Quick Hitch" on the 3 point
hitch.
7. Review maps of underground utilities before
starting to dig. Remove all sticks, stones,
roots, and wires from working area before
starting. Take care not to contact overhead
and underground obstructions during opera-
tion.
8. Never operate controls from the ground. Op-
erate only from the operator's seat to prevent
unexpected boom movement that can lead to
crushing between frame members.
9. Do not dig under machine or stabilizers. A
cave-in could result and the machine could fall
into the excavation.
10. Lower stabilizers to the ground to support
machine befoe starting to dig.
11. Keep boom and bucket away from overhead
and underground power lines. Electrocution
can occur without direct contact with an over-
head power line.
12. Do not exceed machine lift capacity. Over-
loading can cause structural damage and lead
to unsafe operating conditions.
13. Position Backhoe so that loads extend directly
behind machine when lifting or placing heavy
objects.
14. Counter-balance backhoe with suitcase
weights or a loader to provide stability. Unbal-
anced machines can tip during operation.
15. Never carry, lift or move people on boom or
bucket.
16. Always use two people to handle heavy, un-
wieldy components during assembly, installa-
tion, removal or moving.
17. Never place any part of your body where it
would be in danger if movement should occur
during assembly, installation, operation, main-
taining, repairing, removal or moving.
18. Do not walk or work under a raised machine
or attachment unless it is securely blocked or
held in position. Do not depend on the tractor
hydraulic system to hold the machine or at-
tachment in place.
19. Never use alcoholic beverages or drugs which
can hinder alertness or coordination while
operating this equipment. Consult your doc-
tor about operating this machine while taking
prescription medications.
20. Do not allow riders on this machine at any
time. There is no safe place for any riders.
21. Before you operate the machine, check over
all hydraulic lines, hoses, connections and
components. Replace any worn or damaged
parts immediately. Tighten all leaking fittings.
22. Keep hands, feet, hair, jewelry, and clothing
away from all moving and/or rotating parts.
23. Review safety instructions annually.

8
2.9 MAINTENANCE SAFETY
1. Good maintenance is your responsibility. Poor
maintenance is an invitation to trouble.
2. Follow good shop practices.
- Keep service
area clean and
dry.
- Besureelectrical
outlets and tools
are properly
grounded.
- Use adequate

6. Use personal protection devices such as eye,
hand and hearing protectors, when performing
any service or maintenance work.
7. Where replacement parts are necessary for
periodic maintenance and servicing, genuine
factory replacement parts must be used to
restore your equipment to original specifica-
tions. The manufacturer will not be responsi-
ble for injuries or
damages caused
by use of unap-
proved parts and/
or accessories.
8. A fire extinguisher
and first aid kit
should be kept readily accessible while per-
forming maintenance on this equipment.
9. Periodically tighten all bolts, nuts and screws
and check that all fasteners are properly
torqued.
10. When completing a maintenance or service
function, make sure all safety shields and
devices are installed before placing unit in
service.
2.7 TRANSPORT SAFETY
1. Comply with state and local laws governing
safety and transporting of machinery on public
roads.
2. The use of flashing amber lights is accept-
able in most localities. However some locali-
ties prohibit their use. Local laws should be
checked for all highway lighting and marking
requirements.
3. At all times, when driving the tractor and
equipment on the road or highway under
20 mph (32 kph) use flashing amber warn-
ing lights and a slow moving vehicle (SMV)
identification emblem. Do not exceed 20 mph
(32 kph). Reduce speed on rough roads and
surfaces.
4. Plan your route to avoid heavy traffic.
5. Always install transport lock pins and retainers
before transporting.
6. Do not drink and drive.
7. Be a safe and courteous driver. Always yield
to oncoming traffic in all situations, including
narrow bridges, intersections, etc. Watch for
traffic when operating near or crossing road-
ways.
8. Turn into curves or go up or down hills only
at a low speed and a gradual steering angle.
Make certain that at least 20% of the tractor's
weight is on the front wheels to maintain safe
steerage. Slow down on rough or uneven
ground.
9. Never allow riders on either tractor or ma-
chine.
2.8 STORAGE SAFETY
1. Store the unit in an area away from human
activity.
2. Do not allow children to play on or around the
stored machine.
3. Store the unit in a dry, level area. Support the
frame with planks if required.

9
2.10 HYDRAULIC SAFETY
1. Make sure that all the components in the hy-
draulic system are kept in good condition and
are clean.
2. Before applying pressure to the system, make
sure all components are tight, and that lines,
hoses and couplings are not damaged.
3. Do not attempt any makeshift repairs to the
hydraulic lines, fittings or hoses by using
tapes, clamps or cements. The hydraulic sys-
tem operates under extremely high pressure.
Such repairs will fail suddenly and create a
hazardous and unsafe condition.
4. Wear proper hand and eye
protection when searching
for a high pressure hy-
draulic leak. Use a piece
of wood or cardboard as a
backstop instead of hands
to isolate and identify a
leak.
5. If injured by a concentrated high-pressure
stream of hydraulic fluid, seek medical atten-
tion immediately. Serious infection or toxic
reaction can develop from hydraulic fluid
piercing the skin surface.
6. Relieve pressure on hydraulic system before
maintaining or working on system.
