Safety First! When Operating your 6' PTO Backhoe Attachment!
Safety: In addition to the design and configuration of equipment, hazard control and accident prevention are dependent upon the awareness. concern, prudence, and proper training of personnel in the operation, transport, maintenance and storage of equipment. Lack of attention to the safety can result in accident, personal injury, and reduction of efficiency and worst of all-loss of life. Watch for safety hazards and correct deficiencies promptly. Use the following safety precautions as a general guide to safe operations when using this machine. Additional safety precautions are used throughout the user's manuel and review the safety precautions often until you know the limitations.
Tractor And/Or Loader Precautions:
Tractor And/Or Loader Precautions:
- Read the tractor and/or loader operator's manual to learn how to operate your tractor and/or loader safely. Failure to do so could result in serious injury or death and equipment damage.
- It is recommended that the tractor be equipped with Rollover Protective Systems (ROPS) and a seat belt be used for all loader operations.
- Add wheel ballast or front weight for stability.
- Move wheels to the tractor manufacture's widest recommended settings to increase stability.
- For better stability, use tractor with wide front axle rather than tricycle front wheels.
- Move and turn the tractor at low speeds.
- Stop tractor engine, place transmission in the park (or neutral), engage parking brake, lower loader arms to ground, cycle all hydraulic controls to relieve pressure, allow machine moving parts to stop, remove ignition key to prevent serving, repairing, or making adjustments to the equipment
- Wear personal protective equipment (PPE), such as, but not limited to, protection for eyes, ears, lungs, head. hands and feet when operating, servicing, or repairing equipment. Avoid wearing loose clothing or jewelry that may catch and entangle on equipment moving parts.
Backhoe Precautions:
- DO NOT operate the backhoe unless it is rigidly attached to the tractor.
- KNOW your controls. Read the operator's manual and the manual provided with your tractor. Learn how to stop the tractor, then engine and the back-hoe quickly in an emergency.
- PROVIDE adequate front end weight to counter-balance the backhoe at all times. 20% of the total tractor, loader and backhoe weight must be on the tractor font axle. If unsure of weight distribution, at a weight scale. Total vehicle weight, including backhoe and counter weights, must not exceed the ROPS certificate for gross vehicle weight.
- BE SURE the area is clear of overhead or underground utilities or other hazards.
- POSITION a barricade around the work area.
- KEEP all bystanders a safe distance away.
- DO NOT attempt to enter operator's platform backhoe by using the stabilizers as a step.
- OPERATE from the backhoe operator's seat only.
- ALLOW only on person to operate the backhoe at any one time.
- DISENGAGE safety locks.
- NEVER dig with the backhoe unless the stabilizers are properly set.
- DO NOT dig under stabilizers or tractor backhoe. Soft soil or sand can cause cave-ins.
- KEEP BUCKET away from the stabilizer area to avoid possible stabilizer damage.
- ALWAYS swing bucket uphill to dump when on a hillside and keep loaded bucket low.
- WATCH for overhead wires. DO NOT touch wires with any part of the backhoe.
- NEVER allow a person to work under a raised bucket.
- NEVER lift a person with the backhoe.
- DO NOT use the backhoe as battering ram. Use the backhoe only for digging .
- ALWAYS lower the backhoe bucket and stabilizer to the ground, shut off engine, and apply the parking brake before getting off unit, or when not digging.
- NEVER leave the tractor unattended with the engine running.
- DO NOT attempt to raise the tractor off the ground or move the tractor forward or backward using the backhoe dipper stick or bucket.
TRANSPORTATION
- ALWAYS engage safety locks before transporting backhoe.
- DO NOT drive the tractor near the edge of a ditch or excavation.
- ALWAYS use accessory lights and devices when transporting on a road or highway to warn operators of other vehicles. Check your local government regulations.
ADJUSTMENTS & INSPECTION
- CHECK pins that attach backhoe to tractor and all pivot pins for tightness several times daily. replace any parts that are bent, broken or missing.
- ALWAYS engage safety locks before servicing backhoe.
- DO NOT oil, grease, or adjust the backhoe while it is in motion.
- DO NOT change any backhoe relief valve settings, they are factory set for best backhoe performance and safety
- PROTECT YOUR EYES WEAR SAFETY GLASSES
- GUARD AGAINST INJURY when driving connecting pins or performing any repair in which particles can chip.

The WoodMaxx WM-Series PTO Backhoe Attachments
WoodMaxx backhoe attachments are a perfect combination of size, weight, and power. Light enough to move around, yet strong enough to get the tough jobs done. Some backhoe attachments boost heavier weight, but heavier is not always better. Additional unnecessary weight only adds stress to the frame of your tractor.
WoodMaxx WM series backhoe attachments are manufactured using heavy formed q-235 (American standard ASTM A-36) structural steel plate, the strongest plate steel available. The pieces are CNC laser cut so that they fit together perfectly, and are then precisely welded. This fact combined with the structural design allows for the perfect combination of weight and rigidity.

General Operation of the WoodMaxx's WM-Series Backhoe Attachments
Set the stabilizers to remove weight from the rear wheels. The wheels are to remain touching the ground as this provides for the widest stabilizer stance and the lowest center of gravity. Raising the wheels off the ground will not only reduce stability and digging depth, but will perform and impose unnecessary stress.
To obtain a cleaner trench and avoid the buildup of material directly in front of the backhoe, crowed out and completely curl the bucket while starting to lift it from the excavation. In this way, excess material will fall back into the excavation.
Dumping The Bucket:
To dump the bucket at the end of the digging cycle, lift the bucket clear of the trench while crowding it out and swinging it to the spoil pile. As the pile is approached, dump the bucket, When the bucket is empty, the dipper stick and bucket are in position to resume digging upon return to the trench.
IMPORTANT
Avoid constant jarring or hammering type contact between the spoil pile and the loaded bucket, as this may cause premature wear to the backhoe pins and bushings

Trenching Between A Building And Open Excavations:
Start the trench at the building. Trench out halfway to the excavation. Then start trenching from the excavation to the first trench. Dig toward the first trench until there is just enough room to move the unit out between the two trenches. Position the unit so the backhoe swings post is over the center line of the trench connection. Dig with the backhoe at extreme swing positions, and in as close to the stabilizers as possible. Pile the spoil on the opposite side of the trenches. Position the unit forward with the lift and crowed levers so the two trenches can be connected. Pile the spoil on the opposite side of the trench.

Filling The Bucket:
Control the bucket attitude throughout the digging cycle to keep teeth at the proper angle for best penetration. This will minimize dragging and scrapping through the ground. When digging in hard-packed soil, bucket penetration can be increased by applying down pressure with the boom while crowing in and curling the bucket. If the crowed action "stalls" it may be necessary to apply lift occasionally during the digging cycle to correct the bucket depth. 
To obtain a cleaner trench and avoid the buildup of material directly in front of the backhoe, crowed out and completely curl the bucket while starting to lift it from the excavation. In this way, excess material will fall back into the excavation.
