TRENCHER OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS

Drive the Loader to the attachment and couple the Attachment 
Plate onto the attachment. Raise the Trencher slightly and engage 
the locking pins fully. Turn the engine off and push the AUX 
Control Lever forwards and backwards to release any hydraulic 
line pressure. Clean the hydraulic 

fi

ttings (QRCs) and then 

connect them to connections A & B (see “Hydraulic Attachment 
Connection” section).

Removal procedure is the reverse order of the above. Remember 
to always reconnect the attachment hoses into one another to 
stop dirt entering the hydraulic system, or 

fi

t the dust 

caps supplied.

Ensure that the Trencher is securely attached to the Kanga 
Loader. Check that the couplings are engaged and check all joints 
for leaks. Tighten/repair as required. Inspect the cutting teeth, 
ensuring that they are in good condition and 

fi

rmly attached.  

Chain Tensioning:

The Trencher chain requires 35-45mm of “lift” to have the correct 
tension and should be adjust as required. This is achieved by 
loosening the 16mm bolt, adjusting the adjustment wedge, and 
retightening the bolt.

CAUTION:

Read all safety rules before operating.       

See safety chapter in this manual. 

CAUTION:

Prior to commencing any digging operations, check with the Local 

Authorities and the land owner that there are no buried services (Power, phone, water, 
gas, sewage etc) in the vicinity. 

Australia ONLY: Phone 1100 “DIAL BEFORE YOU DIG”

Read the Safety instructions in this Manual.

Keep clear of the Trencher at all times (4m minimum).

PRE-OPERATION CHECK

OPERATING INSTRUCTION 

SETTING THE TRENCHING 
VALVE

Position the Trencher, and activate the AUX lever so that the chain 
runs along the top of the boom and returns back towards you on 
the underside. Engage the TILT lever so that the boom and chain 
arcs down to dig a trench. When the desired depth is achieved, 
slowly drive the Kanga Loader backwards along the trench line.

(LH side of the Loader). This is a load-sensing valve, which can be 
set to automatically regulate the speed of travel when trenching. 
Use the black knob to shut off the valve (turn clockwise). With the 
trencher cutting to the required depth start moving backwards 
using the drive levers, open the valve (

½

 a turn) and this will 

regulate the travel speed. Further adjustment of this valve will 
vary the cutting speed to suit the conditions and the  
operator’s experience.
 

NOTE: Minor adjustments are required to maintain a straight 
line as the Loader will tend to “drift” to the left.

BACK HOE OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS

1.  Refer to Backhoe Manual for complete installation 

instructions.

2.  Turn the engine off, move the Aux Lever 3 back and forth to 

release hydraulic pressure. Connect the hoses of the Back 
Hoe to A & B QRC’s on the right hand side of the loader 
when looking from the front of the machine.

3.  Ensure the Loaders Main Arm is lowered with the 4 in 1 

Bucket 

fl

at on the ground, for best results the backhoe works 

better if the bucket is full of dirt making the machine slightly 
more stable.

PLEASE NOTE: ALWAYS FIT THE DUST CAPS PROVIDED FOR 
THE QRC’S TO YOUR ATTACHMENT AND MACHINE WHEN 
NOT IN USE TO PREVENT DIRT ENTERING THE SYSTEM

1.  Ensure the Back Hoe is securely attached to the Kanga 

Loader. Check the couplings are engaged and check all joints 

for leaks.

2.  Tighten and Repair as required.
3.  Inspect the Backhoe bucket teeth and hydraulic hoses and 

cylinders are in good condition.

4.  Ensure the Backhoe wheels are in the locked position.
1.  Ensure Lever 3 is in the neutral Position.
2.  Start the Diesel Engine.
3.  Adjust engine rpm using Lever 7 which can be adjusted to 

suit the operation and hydraulic requirements.

4.  Drive the loader into position then lower the loader main arms 

to position the bucket onto the ground.

5.  While standing on the rear step of the loader pull Lever 3 of 

the mini loader towards you, this allows hydraulic power to go 
to the Backhoe Valve.

6.  Turn around and operate the backhoe as per control details in 

the Back Hoe Operators Manual.

CAUTION:

Once the “AUX” lever is engaged, the KANGA Back Hoe attachment is 

“Alive”. Any movement of the KANGA Back Hoe control levers will cause the Back Hoe 
to move. Ensure that you are ready to operate the machine and have observed all safety 
regulations before moving the control levers.
