DEFINITION OF SAFETY TERMS AND SYMBOLS

Throughout this manual, the terms DANGER,WARNING, and CAUTION are used to indicate the degree of hazard to

personnel if proper safety procedures are not followed. These words will be used in conjunction with the Safety Alert

Symbol: a dark triangle containing a white exclamation mark.

The Safety Alert Symbol means:

ATTENTION! BECOME ALERT! YOUR SAFETY IS INVOLVED!

DANGER

Indicates an imminently hazardous situation which, if not avoided,

WILL result in death or serious injury.

WARNING

Indicates a potentially hazardous situation which, if not avoided,

could result in death or serious injury.

CAUTION

Indicates a potentially hazardous situation which, if not avoided,

may result in minor or moderate injury;

may also be used to alert against unsafe practices which may result in personal injury.

ACCIDENTS CAN BE PREVENTED WITH

YOUR HELP!

No accident prevention program can be successful

without the wholehearted cooperation of the person who

is directly responsible for the operation of the equipment.

To read equipment accident reports from all over the

country is to be convinced that a large number of

accidents can be prevented only by operators who

consistently anticipate the results of their actions and

thus prevent accidents from ever occurring. No power-

driven equipment, whether it is on the highway, in a farm

field, or in an industrial plant, can be any safer than the

person who is at the controls.

If accidents are to be prevented [and accidents can be

prevented], that prevention will come from equipment

operators who accept their complete responsibility.

The designer, the manufacturer, and the safety engineer

all help create a safe product, but their combined efforts

can be wiped out with a single careless act by the

operator of that product.

The best safety device is a careful operator. FFC and

your dealer ask that YOU be that careful, responsible

equipment operator.

YOU ARE THE KEY TO SAFETY BECAUSE:

YOU are responsible for the SAFE operation and

maintenance of YOUR Backhoe.

YOU are responsible to familiarize yourself, and anyone

else who will assemble, operate, maintain, or work

around this product, with the safety information

contained in this manual.

YOU are responsible to read ALL information contained

in this manual to any operators or maintenance

personnel who are not fully able to read the written

English language. Whether YOU read the manual as

written or translate it into another language, YOU must

make certain that all operators and maintenance

personnel have a complete understanding of the full and

exact contents of this manual. Translations of this

manual into other languages are available by submitting

a written request to FFC.

YOU can reduce the risk of injury or death by following

all safety precautions and by using good safety

practices.

BACKHOE OPERATION

SAFETY FIRST!! READ AND UNDERSTAND THE SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS (pages 2-5 of

this manual) BEFORE BEGINNING ANY BACKHOE OPERATION

DANGER

Failure to obey the following procedures will result in death or serious injury.

Avoid contacting overhead wires and underground pipes or cables. Failure to heed may

result in electrocution or explosion.

WARNING

Failure to obey the following procedures could result in death or serious injury.

Never lift this product:

NOTICE

USE OF REAR COUNTERWEIGHTS IS REQUIRED!

Refer to your power unit’s operator’s manual for safe operating limit and use of counterweights.

TO DIG:

1. Be sure the loader is on solid ground before digging or lifting any load.

2. With the loader arms partially raised and the bucket cylinder partially extended, slowly curl the dipperstick toward

the loader (using the loader’s tilt control). The loader arms may need to be lowered or raised and/or the bucket

cylinder extended to allow the bucket to penetrate the soil.

3. As the bucket fills, extend the bucket cylinder and extend the dipper or raise the loader arms to lift the bucket

clear of the hole.

4. The depth of the hole will be controlled by the amount the dipper is extended and the height of the loader arms.

Use extreme care when working on hillsides. Always dump loaded bucket on uphill side of backhoe to

minimize possibility of upset.

Exercise caution when working close to fences, ditches, or on uneven ground.

DO NOT:

Dig close to the loader’s wheels or under the loader; this could cause a cave-in and vehicle overturn.

TO DUMP ON GROUND:

1. With the bucket raised clear of the hole, slowly back up and pivot the loader rearward about the front wheels. This

will swing the loader away from the trench, and the bucket to the side to dump.

Keep loads close to the ground while transporting.

BACKHOE OPERATION (continued)

SAFETY FIRST!! READ AND UNDERSTAND THE SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS (pages 2-5 of

this manual) BEFORE BEGINNING ANY BACKHOE OPERATION

above the operator’s eye level OR

to a height where visibility is obstructed, whichever is lower

Use caution when raising loaded bucket. Objects could fall from bucket toward bystanders or

operator.

TO CUT A SHALLOW TRENCH

1. With the loader arms partially raised and the bucket cylinder partially extended, slowly curl the dipperstick toward

the loader (using the loader’s tilt control). The loader arms may need to be lowered or raised to allow the bucket

to penetrate the soil.

2. When the bucket is positioned at the desired depth, slowly back up the loader, keeping the bucket height constant

to cut a shallow amount of soil.

IMPORTANT

The tilt circuit of your power unit must be protected with a port relief; ignoring this precaution

CAN result in damage to your power unit and/or this product and

WILL void all FFC warranties

WARNING

Always back away from trenches before turning.

Failure to obey this warning could result in death or serious injury.

TO FILL A TRENCH

1. With the loader arms partially raised, curl the dipperstick (attachment mainframe) forward with the bucket

cylinder extended and the bottom of the bucket flat on the ground. The entire height of the bucket should be

visible.

2. Use the loader’s tilt cylinder only to raise the bucket above the material pile.

3. Pivot the loader to reach over the pile and tilt the backhoe downward so the bottom of the bucket is

approximately 12” below the top of the pile.

4. Pivot the loader toward the trench, using the side of the bucket to move the material into the trench. Repeat this

process, lowering the bucket 6” at a time.

5. Move your power unit forward and repeat the above steps to continue filling the trench.

IMPORTANT

Make sure the portion of the trench to be driven on is full before moving forward.

Moving on an unstable surface

CAN result in damage to your power unit and/or this product and

WILL void all FFC warranties
