OMT166701 D1: 410G Backhoe Loader, Block File: TX_35_BG246_19

Operate machine on firm, level ground when operating backhoe.

1. Level work area as necessary.

IMPORTANT: To avoid injury from tipping or unexpected machine movement do not dig under stabilizers.

NOTE: When stabilizers are lowered to level machine, they may not be extended the same length due to variations in ground.

2. Lower stabilizers to level machine and provide side-to-side stability. Take load off rear tires with minimum clearance between tires and ground.

3. With front bucket in dig position, lower until weight of machine is off front tires. Add material in bucket for additional counterweight.

Position loader bucket in fully dumped position when ground surface is icy, wet, or rocky.
