GENERAL INFORMATION
Your backhoe is operated by four different control levers. Two are for
stabilizer operation and the other two operate the swing, boom, dipper, and
bucket functions. The information contained below will help you become
familiar with the operation of each control lever. Read the safety precau-
tions (Section B) of this manual before attempting to use the backhoe.
Remember, right and left when referred to on this page are determined by
the operator’s position seated at the backhoe controls facing the bucket.
BACKHOE STABILIZER LEVERS
Moving the stabilizer lever(s) forward will bring the backhoe stabilizer (s)
"Down". Moving the stabilizer lever(s) rearward will raise the backhoe stabiliz-
ers "Up". Both stabilizers are required to be down for proper stability of the
backhoe when in operation.
BOOM/SWING LEVER (LEFT HAND LEVER)
Pushing the boom/swing lever forward will "Lower" the boom dipstick
and bucket. Pulling the lever rearward will "Lift" the boom, dipstick, and bucket.
Pushing the boom/swing lever to the left will swing the boom and bucket
to the "Left". Pushing the lever to the right will swing the boom, and bucket to
the "Right".
DIPPER/BUCKET LEVER (RIGHT HAND LEVER)
Pushing the dipper/bucket lever forward will move the dipper "Out" or
away from the operator. Pulling the lever rearward will move (crowd) the dipper
"In" or toward the operator.
Pushing the dipper/bucket lever to the left will "Fill" or curl the bucket
(move inward). Pushing the lever to the right will "Dump" the bucket (move
outward).
