Installation of backhoe on tool holder frame

attention Our backhoes, in their package and transport configuration, have stabilizer feet partially out and arms folded up and locked by proper safety stops and connecting rods, in order to ensure a safe stability in vertical position.

To properly install the backhoe on the working machine, proceed as follows: - Place the backhoe on a flat surface, large enough to be able to carry out all the approaching operations in complete safety.

Danger If the backhoe must be lifted or moved, refer to section E - lifting and Handling.

- Put the front part of the machine aligned to the middle of backhoe frame, stopping at about 50 cm from it. - Unhook quick coupling devices placed on the tool holder plate of the working machine by moving the proper lever(s). - Turn levers (5) in order to release the quick coupling device of upper hooking arms of the backhoe. - Lower and tilt the operating machine tool support plate (1) forward. - Approach with the machine and insert the tool holder plate under the relevant seat (2) on the backhoe frame, paying great attention to perfectly match the coupling seats.

Danger Perform all connection operations using the working machine at a very low speed, activating the controls with extreme caution and attention, to prevent the backhoe from overturning.

- Slowly lift and tilt the upper part of the working machine connection plate slightly backwards, so as to make the lower quick coupling devices (3) match the respective holes (4) on the backhoe frame. - Move the tool holder plate quick coupling device levers to the lock position to fix the backhoe on the working machine.

- Make the auxiliary supports free ends match the relevant seats (1) on the backhoe frame and insert pins (6) fastening them with safety cotters (2). - Check that the wedges or pins of the quick-coupling devices are inserted perfectly inside their seats.
