2.3 Why is SAFETY important?
Three Big Reasons:
• Accidents Disable and Kill
• Accidents Cost
• Accidents Can Be Avoided
The policy of EMB Manufacturing Inc. (EMB) is to
produce products that are safe and reliable. However,
even when using well-engineered equipment, there
is always an element of risk. To minimize the risks
and promote safety at all times, this section of the
operator’s manual details a number of safety rules that
must always be followed and obeyed.
YOU are responsible for the SAFE operation and
maintenance of your Wallenstein Skid Steer Mounted
backhoe Attachment. YOU must ensure that you and
anyone else who is going to use, maintain or work
around the backhoe be familiar with the operating
and maintenance procedures and related SAFETY
information contained in this manual. This manual
provides good safety practices that should be followed
while using the Wallenstein 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 working part of
your safety program. Be certain that EVERYONE
using this equipment is familiar with the recommended
operating and maintenance procedures and follows
all the safety precautions. Most accidents can be
prevented.
Do not risk injury or death by ignoring good safety
practices.
2.4 Safety Rules
• DO give operating instructions to
operators or employees before
allowing them to operate the
machine.
• DO read, understand and follow ALL Safety
and Operating instructions in the manual. Most
accidents can be avoided. The most important
safety device on this equipment is a SAFE

2.5 Safety Training
1. Safety is a primary concern in the design
and manufacture of Wallenstein products.
Unfortunately, our efforts to provide safe equipment
can be wiped out by a single careless act of an
operator or bystander.
2. The best safety feature is an
informed, careful operator—we ask
you to be that kind of an operator.
It is the operator's responsibility to
read, understand and follow ALL
safety and operation instructions
in the manual. Accidents can be
avoided.
3. Do not allow anyone to use this machine until they
have read this manual. Operator's must have a
thorough understanding of the safety precautions
and of how the machine works. Review the safety
instructions with all users annually.
2.6 Operating Safety
It is important to read and pay attention to the safety
signs on the backhoe. Clean or replace all safety signs
if they cannot 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.
All things with moving parts are potentially hazardous.
There is no substitute for a cautious, safe-minded
operator who recognizes potential hazards and follows
reasonable safety practices.
1. Learn the machine controls and how to stop
quickly in an emergency. A person who has not
read and understood all operation and safety
instructions is not qualied to use the machine.
2. Never allow young children near this equipment.
This equipment is dangerous to children and
persons unfamiliar with its operation.
3. Make sure the operator is a responsible, properly
trained and physically-able person familiar with
machinery. If the elderly are assisting with work,
their physical limitations need to be recognized and
accommodated.
4. Never place any part of your body where it would
be in danger if movement of equipment should
occur during assembly, installation, operation,
maintenance, repairing, removal or moving.
5. Do not operate engine inside a closed building.
Asphyxiation could result from engine exhaust.
6. Before servicing, repairing or maintaining the

attachment unless it is securely blocked or held in
position. Do not depend on the skid steer hydraulic
system to hold the machine or attachment in place.
10. Never consume alcohol or drugs while using
this equipment. These can hinder alertness or
coordination. Consult your doctor about using this
machine while taking prescription medications.
11. Operate only on level ground. Do not operate on
hillsides or when working area is cluttered, wet,
muddy or icy to prevent slipping and tripping.
12. Apply parking brake, lower back hoe to ground and
stop engine when leaving the machine unattended.
13. Always make sure face plate is securely locked
to front of loader when attaching to prevent
movement during operation.
14. Read and understand the operator's manual before

2.7 Equipment Safety Guidelines
The safety of the operator and bystanders is one of the
main concerns in designing and developing 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.
As the operator, you can avoid many accidents by
observing the following precautions in this section.
To avoid personal injury or death, study the following
precautions and insist everyone follows them.
Always place the skid steer machine in a Safe
Condition before performing any service, maintenance
work, storage preparation, or hooking/unhooking
backhoe.
SAFE CONDITION
1. Lower backhoe to ground.
2. Release hydraulic controls.
3. Set parking brake.
4. Shut off the engine.
5. Relieve hydraulic system pressure by actuating
controls.
6. Remove and retain ignition key.
7. Replace any safety sign or instruction sign that is
not readable or is missing. Location of such safety
signs is indicated in this manual.
8. Mount the backhoe only on a skid steer machine
equipped with an approved Roll Over Protective
Structure (ROPS).
9. Never exceed the limitations of the machine. If its
ability to do the job, or to do it safely is in question–
STOP!
10. Do not modify the equipment in any way.
Unauthorized modication may result in serious
injury or death, and may impair the function and
life of the equipment.
If this machine is used by anyone other than a trained
operator, or is loaned or rented, it is the machine
owner's responsibility to make certain that prior to
using, the operator must:
- Read and understand the operator's manual
- Be fully trained in safe and proper use of the
equipment
- Understand and know how to perform the Safe
Condition procedure
2.8 Maintenance Safety
Follow good shop practices.
1. Keep service area clean and dry.
2. Be sure electrical outlets and tools are properly
grounded.
3. Use adequate light for the job at hand.
4. Make sure there is plenty of ventilation. Never
operate the engine of the skid steer in a closed
building. The exhaust fumes may cause
asphyxiation.
5. Never work under unsupported equipment. Engage
a hydraulic cylinder lift-arm lockout device when
the boom is in the upright position for any repairs
or maintenance.
6. Always wear appropriate personal protective
equipment when performing any service or
maintenance work.
7. Inspect and tighten all bolts, nuts and screws and
check that all connections are properly secured.
8. A re extinguisher and rst aid kit should be kept
readily accessible while performing maintenance
on this equipment.
9. Where replacement parts are necessary for
periodic maintenance and servicing, genuine
factory replacement parts must be used to restore
your equipment to original specications. The
manufacturer will not be responsible for injuries or
damages caused by use of unapproved parts and/
or accessories.
10. When completing a maintenance or service
function, make sure all safety shields and devices
are installed before placing unit in service.
11. When cleaning any parts, do not use gasoline or
diesel fuel. Use a regular cleanser.

QC605 / B, QC620
Skid Steer Mounted Backhoe Safety

12. Always use proper tools that are in good condition.
Make sure the procedure is understood before
performing any service work.
2.9 Hydraulic System Safety
1. Make sure that all the components in the hydraulic
system are kept clean and in good condition.
2. Make sure all components are tight, and that lines,
hoses and couplings are not damaged before
applying pressure to the system.
3. Do not use a hand to check for
hydraulic oil leaks. Hydraulic uid
escaping under pressure can
penetrate the skin causing serious
injury. Use a piece of cardboard.
4. Wear proper hand and eye
protection when searching for a
high pressure hydraulic leak.
5. If injured by a concentrated high-pressure
stream of hydraulic uid, seek medical attention
immediately. Serious infection or toxic reaction
can develop from hydraulic uid piercing the skin
surface.
6. Do not attempt any makeshift repairs to the
hydraulic lines, ttings or hoses by using tape,
clamps or cements. Doing so can cause sudden
failure and create a hazardous and unsafe
condition.
7. Relieve pressure on the hydraulic system before
working it. The hydraulic system operates under
extremely high pressure.
8. Replace any hydraulic hose immediately that
shows signs of swelling, wear, leaks or damage
before it bursts.
9. Do not bend or strike high-pressure lines, tubes
or hoses, or reinstall them in a bent or damaged
condition.
10. Check to make sure hydraulic hoses are not worn
or damaged, and are routed to avoid chang.
11. Never adjust a pressure relief valve or other
pressure-limiting device to a higher pressure than
specied.
12. Never disable a hydraulic system interlock device.
They prevent the engine from starting or the
hydraulic system from engaging if the operator
restraint is not fastened or properly positioned.

2.10 Preparation
1. Do not use the backhoe until this manual, the
skid steer operator's manual, and the safety
signs on the skid steer and machine are read and
understood.
2. Personal Protection Equipment
(PPE) including hard hat, safety
glasses, safety shoes, and gloves
are recommended during assembly,
installation, operation, adjustment,
maintaining, repairing, removal,
cleaning, or moving the unit. Do not
allow long hair, loose tting clothing
or jewelry near equipment.
Z94239
3. Prolonged exposure to loud noise
may cause permanent hearing
loss! Machine noise can cause
permanent, partial hearing loss.
Wear hearing protection on a
full-time basis if the noise in the
Operator's position exceeds
80 dB. Noise over 85 dB on a
long-term basis can cause severe
hearing loss. Noise over 90 dB
adjacent to the Operator over
a long-term basis may cause
permanent, total hearing loss.
4. Always wear the seat belt when
operating the skid steer. Serious
injury or even death could result
from falling off the skid steer,
particularly during a rollover when
the operator could be pinned under
the machine.
5. Clear working area of stones, branches or hidden
obstacles that might be hooked or snagged,
causing injury or damage.
6. Do not install backhoe on the skid steer if the total
skid steer and equipment weight exceeds the
ROPS weight certication.
7. Have underground utilities located and marked
before starting to dig. Take care not to contact
overhead and underground obstructions during
operation.
8. Keep boom and bucket away from overhead and
underground power lines. Electrocution can occur
even without direct contact with an overhead
power line.
9. Operate only in daylight or good articial light.
10. Be sure machine is properly mounted, adjusted
and in good operating condition.
