OPERATING TECHNIQUES
ATTACHMENT TYPE BACKHOES
MISCELLANEOUS - BACKFILLING
To backll an excavation, lower the extended bucket into the spoil pile. Curl the bucket
and lift it clear of the spoil pile. Swing the bucket to the excavation and extend the bucket. Re-
turn the bucket to the spoil pile and continue the cycle until the job is completed.
IMPORTANT: Do not backll by using the swing circuit and dragging the bucket side-
ways. Doing so could cause damage to the dipper, boom, and swing cylinders or main-
frame.
IMPORTANT: Avoid constant jarring or hammering contact between the spoil pile and
the loaded bucket as this may cause premature wear to the backhoe pins and bushings.
MISCELLANEOUS - EXCAVATING BY A WALL
To excavate by a wall, where the wall will interfere with the stabilizer placement, move
the backhoe in at an angle to the wall. Concentrate on getting the swing pin as close to the
wall as possible while leaving enough swing arc left to dump the spoil.
MISCELLANEOUS - HARD GROUND OPERATION
When digging in hard ground, it may be necessary to decrease the bucket angle of entry
to the point where the back of the bucket almost contacts the ground. It may also be neces-
sary to apply downward pressure with the boom on the bucket.
