12. SERVICE

12.1. Service Safety

CAUTION: To avoid possible injury, observe the following safety rules WHEN SERVICING the

backhoe.

12.1.1. Engage transport locking pins before servicing the backhoe. Refer to Page 46.

12.1.2. Do not oil, grease, or adjust the backhoe while it is in motion.

12.1.3. Do not change any backhoe relief valve settings. They are factory set for best performance and safety.

12.1.4. Protect your eyes - wear safety glasses. Guard against injury when driving connecting pins or performing

any repair in which particles can chip from work piece or striking tool.

12.2. Hydraulic Fluid

12.2.1. With the engine off and the backhoe on the ground, inspect all hoses for cuts or wear. Check for signs of

leaks and make sure all fittings are tight.

CAUTION: Escaping hydraulic fluid under

pressure can have sufficient force to

penetrate skin, causing serious personal

injury. Before disconnecting lines, be sure

to relieve all pressure.

Before applying pressure to system, be

sure all connections are tight and that lines,

tubes, and hoses are not damaged.

Fluid escaping from a very small hole can

be almost invisible. Use a piece of

cardboard or wood, rather than hands, to

search for suspected leaks.

If injured by escaping fluid, see a doctor at

once. Serious infection or reaction can

develop if proper medical treatment is not

administered immediately.

12.3.1. Remove all protective covering.

12.3.2. Check hydraulic hoses for deterioration and replace, if necessary.

12.3.3. Lubricate all grease fittings and oil handle linkages.

12.3.4. Check hydraulic system for loss of fluid and, if necessary, fill to proper level.

12.3.5. Tighten all loose bolts, nuts and set screws.

12.3.6. Inspect bucket teeth and, if necessary, replace them.

12.3.7. Operate the backhoe slowly for a short time before placing the unit under full load.

12.4. Bleeding Backhoe Hydraulic System

12.4.1. If the hydraulic hoses have been disconnected from the backhoe or tractor, all trapped air must be

removed after the hoses are connected. Start tractor engine and operate backhoe through all movements fully,

several times, to purge the system of air.

12.5. Hydraulic System Hoses

12.5.1. Oil leaks in the pressure side of the system can be located by carefully inspecting the external area of the

hoses and fittings.

12.5.2. When tightening connections, always use two wrenches.

IMPORTANT: Do not over-tighten fittings. Make them tight enough to eliminate leaks.
