BACKHOE OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS
FITTING THE BACKHOE
CAUTION:
Prior to commencing work, read the
Safety Rules of this Kanga Loader Manual.
1. Turn the engine off and push the AUX lever forward and
backward to release any hydraulic line pressure. Clean
the hydraulic fittings (QRCs) and connect backhoe hoses
to connections A and T. (See “Hydraulic Attachment
Connections.”)
2. Lower the loader’s main arm and place the 4-in-1 bucket flat
on the ground. For best results and increased stability, fill
the bucket with dirt.
3. To remove, reverse the order given above. To prohibit dirt
from entering the hydraulic system, always reconnect the
attachment hoses into one another or fit with supplied dust
caps.
4. Complete a pre-operation check. Confirm that the backhoe
is securely attached to the loader and the couplings are
engaged. Check all joins for leaks.
NOTE: 8 Series loaders require a rear-mount backhoe adaptor plate
for backhoe attachment Installation -
Part # 0K55015
. Refer to
Backhoe Manual for complete installation instructions.
1. Complete a pre-operation check. Confirm that the backhoe
is securely attached to the loader and the couplings are
engaged. Check all joints for leaks. Tighten and repair as
required. Check that the backhoe bucket teeth, hydraulic
hoses, and cylinders are in good condition.
2. Place the backhoe wheels in the locked position. Place the
AUX lever in neutral. Start the engine, then adjust the engine
RPM lever to suit the operation and hydraulic requirements.
Drive the loader into position, then lower the loader main
arms to position the bucket onto the ground.
3. While standing on the rear step of the loader, pull the AUX
lever toward you, allowing hydraulic power to go to the
backhoe valve. Now, turn around and operate the backhoe
as per control details in the Backhoe Operator’s Manual.
4. Once the AUX lever is engaged, the backhoe is live and
operational. Any movement of the backhoe control levers will
cause the backhoe to move.
OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS
CAUTION:
Establish and maintain a minimum 4m exclusion zone around the working
area. No person other than the operator should enter the work zone while the machine’s
engine is running. Observe all underground utility markings carefully. Maintain a no-
work zone six feet from any utility marking.
Keep clear of the backhoe at all times (4m minimum distance).
