If work must be done close to high voltagelines, have the utility disconnect them. It is not necessaryto actually contact a power line for the electricity toground through the machine. If power does groundthrough the machine, remain on the machine and DONOT TOUCH THE MACHINE STRUCTURE.

AAWARNING: Know the location of underground cables,water mains, gas lines, etc. Machine contact with underground obstructions could result in personal injury.WARNING: When operating on a slope, always positionthe machine to swing the backhoe to the uphill side ifpossible. Swinging the backhoe to the downhill sidecould tip the machine and result in personal injury.During normal digging, as the bucket penetrates the ground and is filled, there is atendency for the rear of the unit to raise up off the ground and movetoward the bucket.To minimize this tendency on rubber tired machines, engage the creep control. Turnthe control in the direction that will obtain movement of the machine away from theproposed excavation. Adjust control until the machine just begins to move. As themachine begins to move, turn the creep control or variable speed control in theopposite direction just enough to stop movement. This places a load on the grounddrive system, counteracting the pull of the backhoe.NOTE: Some rubber tired machines may not be equipped with a creep control. Engagethe parking brake on these machines to help prevent being pulled toward theexcavation by the backhoe.On track mounted machines, lock both steering brakes by pulling them completelyback into the over-center position.780623CORRECT780624INCORRECTSet the stabilizers or backfill blade so that the machine is leveland the weight is takenoff the rear of the machine. Do not raisethe rear of the machine off the ground. The rearof the machine should rest lightly on the ground, as this will also help prevent beingpulled toward the excavation by the backhoe. Raising the rear of the machine off theground will not only reduce stability, digging depth and impair performance, but mayalso impose unnecessary stresses on the machine.17

Stability is particularly important when operating the backhoe at the extreme swingpositions, because the tendency is to lift one stabilizer and transfer the weight of themachine to the other stabilizer.For added stabilizer stability on the D100 and D130 Backhoe, attach the optionalstabilizer spikes as follows.Insert stabilizer spikes (1) in holes provided in stabilizer pads (2). Secure stabilizerspikes with klik pins (3).18

STARTING THE EXCAVATIONTo familiarize yourself with the operation of the backhoe,practice coordinated useofthe controls in a safe, open area at reduced engine speed. Gradually increaseenginespeed as the technique is mastered.Strive to develop a smooth digging cycle. Avoid abrupt or jerky movements.This isaccomplished by operating two or more controls at the sametime and not allowing thecylinders to reach their limit of travel.To start the excavation, position the backhoeasshown for maximum breakout force.Actuate the crowd cylinder to start the dig cycle. Approximately halfway through thedigging cycle, start to curl the bucket and continue the crowd cycle. If the bucket stalls,raise the boom slightly.NOTE: Do not use too much down pressure when starting to dig, as this will lift themachine and move it out of alignment with the work.19

FILLING THE BUCKETControl the bucket attitude throughout the digging cycle to keep the teeth at theproper angle for best penetration. The bucket should be positioned with the teethparallel to the bottom of the excavation during the digging cycle. This will minimizedragging and scraping the bucket through the ground.770206The depth of penetration is determined by the type and condition of the soil.Use only the dipper and bucket'during the digging cycle. As the dipper movesthebucket through the soil, curl the bucket to maintain the proper bucket position.At the end of the passor when the bucket is full, completely curl the bucket, lift thebucket from the excavation and swing the boom to the dump site.To obtain a cleaner trench and avoid the buildup of material directly in front of thebackhoe, crowd out and completely curl the bucket while starting to lift it out of theexcavation. This will cause any excess material to fall back into the excavation.780631DUMP AND RETURN CYCLEA20WARNING: Before swinging the backhoe to either side,be sure there is ample room and that all persons are out ofthe way.L

Keep the swing-dump-returncycle as brief as possible. Keep the dipper movingoutward and start swinging the boom as soon as the bucket clears the excavation.Continue to extend the dipper and as the spoil pile is approached, start to dump thebucket. When the bucket is empty, the dipperstick and bucket are in position to resumedigging upon return to the excavation.,. IMPORTANT: Avoid constant jarring or hammering-type contact between the spoilpile and the loaded bucket as this may cause premature wearing of thebackhoe pins and bushings.ALIGNMENT CORRECTIONSAlignment corrections of the machine to the excavation may be made as follows:MOVING THE MACHINE FORWARD OR REARWARDTo move a machine either forward or rearward, raise the stabilizers or backfill bladefully, raise the boom, crowd the dipper stick completely in and curl the bucket.With rubber tired machines, disengage the creep control and move the machineforward or rearward using the Mono-Stick.NOTE: Some rubber tired machines may not be equipped with a creep control. Onthese machines, simply disengage the parking brake and move the machineforward or rearward using the Mono-Stick.Whenthe machine has been movedto the desired position, engagethe creep controland adjust as described under "POSITIONING THE MACHINE," resetthe stabilizersorbackfill blade and resume digging.With track mounted machines, disengage both steering brakes and move themachine either forward or rearward using the propulsion lever(s). After machine ispositioned, lock both steering brakes by pulling them completely back into the overcenter position. Reset the stabilizers and resume digging.MOVING THE MACHINE TO THE SIDEMinor corrections to the left or right of the excavation may be madewith the backhoeby lifting the stabilizers or backfill blade clear of the ground, curling the bucketapproximately halfway and crowding in so that the dipper stick is nearly vertical. . ,NOTE: The dipper stick pivot, bucket pivot, and the point where the bucket contactsthe ground should be aligned to reduce the stress on the bucket and crowdcylinders.780622Position the dipper stick slightly forward of vertical and apply enough down pressurewith the boom to raisethe rearof the machineclear of the ground. SLOWLY actuatetheswing cylinder to move to the right or left as required, to realign with the trench.Whenthe machine is in the desired position, resetthe stabilizersor backfill blade andresume digging.21

TRENCHINGAND EXCAVATINGPROCEDURESAWARNING: Before operating in an untarnlliar area, walkaround the full length of the proposed trench site andcheck for hidden holes, drop-offs, or obstacles thatcould cause an accident.ACAUTION: Understand the machine's limitations. Keepit under control at all times. DO NOT TRY TO DO TOOMUCH TOO FAST.ACAUTION: Be extremely careful when working close toan open trench. Serious injury could result from a trenchcave-In.Trenching is the most basic backhoe digging operation. Other digging operationsare only variations of this basic function.While trenching, it is generally important to maintain a level trench bottom. This isaccomplished by setting the bucket at the proper angle of approach.CORRECTINCORRECTINCORRECT780729As the bucket is crowded in, continuously push on the bucket curl lever to maintainthe correct cutting angle. At the same time, pull on the boom lift lever to relieve downpressure and keep the bucket in the same plane.Continue the trench by moving the machine along the centerline of the trench awayfrom the existing excavation. Do not movethe machine beyond approximately one halfthe effective reach of the backhoe. Moving too far will require excessivedown pressurefor digging, plus hand clean-up of the trench bottom. It is better to move a lesseramount than to move too far.22
