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.

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.

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.
