PRESENTATION
The loader backhoes are hydraulic digging
machines. They consist of travel components, an
engine, hydraulic assemblies and an operator’s
compartment. When the operator operates the
controls, the pump, driven by the engine, sends
hydraulic fluid to the control valves. The control
valves distribute the hydraulic fluid to the various
components. A cooling system including an oil
cooler maintains the hydraulic fluid at a normal
operating temperature.
The 695 Super R loader backhoes exist in two
different versions: sideshift backhoe version
(sideshift backhoe attachment) or centre pivot
backhoe version (fixed backhoe attachment).

RIGHT, LEFT, FRONT AND REAR OF THE MACHINE

! WARNING !
Before starting the engine, make sure you are fully
aware of the location and the function of each con-
trol. Operating the controls wrongly can cause seri-
ous physical injury.

STARTER SWITCH
Located on the right of the operator’s seat (with seat
in loader attachment position), this switch has four
positions.
Key position:
Position (1): Not used.
Position (2): Off.
Position (3): On.
Position (4): Start.

NOTE: In On position (1) the audible alarm sounds.

NOTE: This key is also used for locking the cab
doors, the engine guard and the fuel tank cap.
STEERING CONTROL
A hydrostatic steering system is installed requiring
minimum effort to turn the steering wheel. Familiar-
ise yourself with the effort required to turn the wheel
before driving the machine for the first time.

! WARNING !
Because your machine is equipped with hydrostatic
power steering, never hold the steering wheel
against either of the steering stops. Failure to
observe this precaution may result in damage to the
steering system components. 12

! WARNING !
In the event of a burst steering hose the machine
will not be steerable, stop the machine immediately
and contact your Dealer.

In the event of loss of power steering due to engine


failure, the machine can still be driven to a place of
safety. The force necessary to turn the steering
wheel and steer the machine will, however, be much
higher.

Transmission
The transmission is fully synchronised providing
four forward and four reverse speeds allowing gear
ratio changes on the move. A torque converter is
used to connect the engine to the transmission and
the column mounted powershuttle lever (4) enables
shifts between forward and reverse travel without
disengaging gear ratios.
A “Transmission disconnect” feature is provided by
finger operated button (2) on the main gearshift
lever (1) and loader control lever (3) of which disen-
gages drive to the transmission to enable on the
move gear changing. 17

! WARNING !
Always apply the parking brake whenever the
machine is parked as the machine is free to roll
even though the transmission gearshift lever and
power reversing lever may be “In Gear” and the
engine is turned “OFF”.

Gear Shift Lever


The single gearshift lever (1) is used to select any
one of the four gear ratios. The transmission discon-
nect button (2) is depressed and held as the lever is
shifted from one gear to another and then released
to re-connect transmission drive.

Forward/Reverse Powershuttle Lever


To select FORWARD travel, engage the required
gear ratio with the gearshift lever, then with the
engine idling lift the powershuttle lever from the neu-
tral lock position (1) and move to the forward posi-
tion (2). Use the foot accelerator to control the
engine and ground speed.
To reverse the direction of travel, reduce engine
speed and move the power reversing from neutral
lock position (1) and rearwards (3) for reverse travel
an audible alarm device sounds.
IMPORTANT: The powershuttle lever is equipped
with a neutral lock to prevent inadvertent engage- 19
ment of the transmission. With this design the power
reversing lever moves through a “T” slot for the for-
ward and reverse positions.
IMPORTANT: When operating in low ambient tem-
peratures with cold transmission oil, allow the oil to
warm up before attempting to shift the powershuttle
lever. The transmission can be shifted normally after
the oil warms up.

NOTE: The horn will sound if the powershuttle lever


is operated (forward or reverse) with the handbrake
engaged.

NOTE: The powershuttle lever can be shifted at any


engine speed, however, for safe, smooth operation
the engine speed should be reduced to approxi-
mately 1200 rev/min.
This action is easily controlled by using the foot
accelerator to control engine and ground speed.

SECTION 4 - CONTROLS/INSTRUMENTS/ACCESSORIES

Transmission Disconnect
The 4x4 transmission provides for easy upward and
downward gear ratio changes on the move. How-
ever, as a clutch is not used between the engine
and transmission, the power flow from the engine to
the transmission must be interrupted to shift from
one gear ratio to another. This is accomplished by
using a transmission disconnect (dump) button.
The finger operated button (2) on the main gearshift
lever knob (1) is easy to operate.

! WARNING ! 20
To avoid personal injury do not use the disconnect
switch control to coast down hill. Excessive speed
may cause loss of control, personal injury to a
bystander or failure of the transmission.

To make upward gear ratio changes simply depress


and hold the button (2) on the gearshift lever (1),
while moving the lever from one gear ratio to
another. When the desired gear ratio has been
selected release the button and allow the unit to
gain engine speed and ground speed. If another
higher ratio is required repeat the procedure.
IMPORTANT: To avoid possible damage to the
transmission hydraulic clutches never use the dis-
connect switch for inching the machine forward.
Inching the machine forward with the button will
cause the clutches to slip excessively and overheat.
To make downward gear ratio changes or reduce
ground speed, simply lower the engine speed,
depress and hold the gearshift lever button and
downshift the transmission. When the desired gear
ratio has been selected release the button and
adjust the engine speed to suit ground speed
required.
Operating the machine in too high a gear or under
too heavy a load will cause the torque converter to
slip excessively and overheat. If the machine is
overloaded, the engine speed will not exceed a
range of 1800-2200 rev/min at maximum accelera-
tor and the torque converter will “stall” bringing the
machine to a complete stop.
If “stall” does occur, there is still sufficient engine
power to operate the loader however, to prevent the
transmission from overheating, either reduce the
load on the machine or select a lower gear ratio.

4-16
Copyright ©
SECTION 4 - CONTROLS/INSTRUMENTS/ACCESSORIES

IMPORTANT: Operating at a “stall” for more than 20


seconds can cause the transmission to overheat
and can possibly damage the transmission. If the
transmission overheats, the indicator needle rises
into the red zone. Shift both the power reversing and
gearshift levers to neutral. Idle the engine at 1000
rev/min. until the transmission oil is cooled suffi-
ciently for the indicator needle to drop into the green
zone. Once done, operations may resume.

21
DIFFERENTIAL LOCK PEDAL
In conditions inducing wheel slip, hold down the dif-
ferential lock pedal with your heel until the lock is felt
to engage. The lock will automatically disengage
when traction at the rear wheels equalises. If a rear
wheel spins at speed, reduce the engine speed to
idle before engaging the differential lock to minimise
shock loads on the rear axle. See “Differential lock”
in Section 5.

! WARNING !
Never use the differential lock at speeds above 8
km/h or when turning the machine. When engaged 22
the lock will prevent the machine turning and per-
sonal injury could result.

Powershift Lever and Microprocessor Functions
The microprocessor controls the transmission and
self checks its own memory continuously to ensure
that gear selection and range changes are always
performed in a safe manner.
Should a fault occur in the transmission or the
microprocessor, the microprocessor will default to
the reset mode.

SECTION 4 - CONTROLS/INSTRUMENTS/ACCESSORIES

Reset Mode:
When the microprocessor defaults to reset mode
both the T and N LED’s are displayed simultane-
ously to indicate that a reset has taken place.
If no critical faults are active the microprocessor
selects N2 and goes to the Neutral lock state. See
“Driving with Powershift” chapter.

If a fault is detected at power up the limp home facil-
ity is automatically selected.
IMPORTANT: If limp home is active, only 1st and

Selecting Neutral
At power up, “Neutral and 2nd Gear” are automati-
cally selected regardless of the powershift lever
position (1). The LED-2 and the N-LED are illumi-
nated RED, (neutral 2nd), the microprocessor is in a
neutral lock state.
If after driving, neutral is selected and the shift lever
stays in neutral for more than 3 seconds the micro-
processor automatically defaults to the neutral lock
state for safety. In neutral an automatic shift routine
takes effect to prevent damage to the transmission
due to overspeeding.
Leaving Neutral 30

A feature of the powershift lever is the neutral lock


state, which does not allow forward or reverse direc-
tion drive to be selected. This feature prevents the
machine accidentally moving should the lever be
knocked into forward or reverse. To leave the neu-
tral lock state, you select drive direction followed by
an upshift by rotating the shift lever.
Selecting Forward
To select forward travel push the lever away from
you and the “F” LED will illuminate green.
NOTE: When forward is selected you will not be
given any indication of gear selected, only the maxi-
mum selected gear the transmission will shift too.
The microprocessor is programmed to be an auto-
matic speed based shift system.
In addition whether forward actually engages at that
time, depends on the status of the machine, for
example if on the move, road speed and direction
will be considered before any shift changes take
place. 31
Selecting Reverse
To select reverse travel pull the lever towards you
and the reverse “R” LED will illuminate orange.
NOTE: When reverse is selected you will not be
given any indication of gear selected, only the maxi-
mum selected gear the transmission will shift too.
The microprocessor is programmed to be an auto-
matic speed based shift system.
In addition whether reverse actually engages at that
time, depends on the status of the machine, that is if
on the move road speed and direction will be con-
sidered by the microprocessor.

SECTION 4 - CONTROLS/INSTRUMENTS/ACCESSORIES

Up Shifting
Up shifting to a desired gear from neutral is
achieved by twisting the handgrip counter clockwise
(+) in single movements. If held in this position the
processor will advance the shift selection from 2
through to 4 in 1.8 sec intervals.

NOTE: An upshift request after a downshift is


delayed for 2 seconds. Should an error occur with
the speed sensor the microprocessor will not allow
up shifts above 2nd gear and will be indicated by the
“T” LED flashing and the “N” LED flashing slower.

NOTE: If climbing up a steep incline select 2nd and 33


proceed, if speed and power allow upshift into 3rd
and 4th.
Down Shifting

! WARNING !
If descending down a steep incline select 2nd and
proceed, upshifting only when safe to do so. You
can not downshift to reduce speed if the machine
speed is above 15 km/h (9.321 mph).

Downshifting to the desired gear is achieved by


twisting the handgrip clockwise (-) in single move-
ments. If held in this position the processor will
decrease the shift from 4, if the shift lever was in this
gear, through to 1 in 1.5 sec intervals. 34

NOTE: If the gear requested and the shift attainable


are not the same because of torque convertor tur-
bine RPM being too high, the gear position LED
(e.g. LED 4) will flash and the shift lever position will
illuminate, not flashing, (e.g. LED 2), until the
requested gear is reached. When a gear position
LED is flashing this indicates that the machine has
to reduce speed to reach the requested gear.

SECTION 4 - CONTROLS/INSTRUMENTS/ACCESSORIES

Direction Changes
Changing driving direction is achieved simply by
shuttling the powershift lever between forward and
reverse and vice versa which is allowed at any time.
The system response however depends on
machine speed and currently engaged gear. When
driving in 1st or 2nd gear direction changes are
unrestricted and are granted immediately.

F1 - R1 F2 - R2
R1 - F1 R2 - F2

35
When driving forward in 3rd or 4th gear two
responses are possible depending on machine
speed.
RESPONSE 1: If the machine speed in forward is
above 15 km/h (9.321 mph) and reverse is selected
downshift engages but momentum forward remains,
until the speed drops sufficiently to allow downshift
to take place when reverse is achieved in 2nd gear.
RESPONSE 2: If the machine speed in forward is
less than 15 km/h (9.321 mph) reverse takes place
immediately into 2nd gear.
Should a speed sensor fault be detected while in F3
or F4 a downshift sequence to 2nd gear will take 36
place and is indicated by the LED “T” flashing fast
and the LED “N” flashing slowly.
NOTE: If the transmission is in forward 1st gear due
to kick down the direction change will result in selec-
tion of reverse 2nd gear for efficient pull away. Refer
to Kickdown for more information.

SECTION 4 - CONTROLS/INSTRUMENTS/ACCESSORIES

Transmission Powershift
In the previous paragraphs shift changes have been
shown as precise movements and twist actions of
the powershift lever. However the transmission can
change gear automatically in forward or reverse as
described in the following paragraph:
Select forward and 4th gear on the powershift lever
and with the handbrake released apply pressure to
the foot accelerator. As the engine revs and
machine speed increase the transmission will start
from 2nd gear and change up through 3rd and 4th
gears up to maximum road speed.
When you require to slow down or stop release the
foot accelerator and apply the foot brake, the trans-
mission will automatically downshift through 4th, 3rd
and 2nd gear as the machine speed decreases.
Once stopped apply the handbrake and neutral will
be selected by the microprocessor.
To select drive again, simply twist the handgrip to
select 4th and with the handbrake released apply
pressure to the foot accelerator.
Kick Down
The kick down facility (2nd to 1st gear only) on this
transmission increases torque instantly to the driv-
ing wheels and hence pushing power. For example
when the loader is pushing into a pile and more
torque is required at the wheels.
This is achieved by the instant gear change from
2nd to 1st by the use of the button (1) without the
need to use the twist grip on the powershift lever.
NOTE: The kick down facility is only available when
the transmission is in 2nd gear and the kickdown
button (1) is depressed. If kick down can not be
achieved (machine speed too high) the LED 1 will 38
be illuminated and LED 2 will be flashing.

Transmission Disconnect
The disconnect feature is useful when loading, for
example; when pushing the loader into a pile and
you have sufficient dirt in the bucket press the dis-
connect switch which disengages the transmission
and allows the full power of the engine to be
directed to the hydraulic oil pump.
Disconnect is available in 1st and 2nd gear.
NOTE: Transmission disconnect is selectable, when
the machine speed is less than 5 km/h (3.107 mph)
and by depressing the button on the loader lever
and remains active until the pedals or switch are
released. 39

Speed Ranges
The microprocessor controlling the powershift trans-
mission is pre-programmed to control the speed at
which the gear changes take place.
This effectively protects the transmission from
excess forces, should gear changes be selected at
higher speeds than is desirable.
(Except 695 Super R) shown in the chart opposite
with an 18.4 X 26 R4 tyre fitted is the approximate
(within 10%) maximum speed available and at
which speed an automatic shift takes place in each
gear.
40
(...) = Automatic upshift speed
[...] = Automatic downshift speed
As can be seen when down shifting from 4th gear at
maximum speed 39.5 km/h (24.544 mph) the micro-
processor will not allow the down shift to take place
until the speed has dropped to approximately
19.9 km/h (12.365 mph).
Refer to the chart for complete upshift and downshift
speed change details.

NOTE: In some countries the road speed of 40 km/h


(24.855 mph) is not allowed. In these circumstances
the transmission is governed to a maximum of
30 km/h (18.641 mph) and the shift speed range
reduces accordingly.

! WARNING !
HFC 134a refrigerant can be dangerous if improp-
erly handled. Therefore, it is important the following
warnings and directions are adhered to.
HFC 134a has a boiling point of -12 °C (10.4 °F).
Never expose any part of the air conditioning sys-
tem to flames or excessive heat because of the risk
of fire or explosions and the production of phosgene
gas.
Never disconnect or disassemble any part of the air 109
conditioning system as escaping refrigerant can
cause frostbite.
If refrigerant comes into contact with your skin, use
the same treatment as for frostbite.
Warm the exposed area of skin with your hand or
lukewarm water 32 °C (89.6 °F), cover loosely with
a bandage to protect against infection and consult a
doctor immediately.

HYDRAULIC SPEED CONTROL


Using the control during loader operation:
When the hydraulic speed control switch is in the
“OFF” position, oil is supplied to loader functions by
two pump bodies (2 flows).
When the hydraulic speed control switch is in the
“ON” position, oil for loader functions is supplied by
two pump bodies up to a pressure of 170 bar
(2465 psi), beyond which it is supplied by only one.
The flow from the second pump body returns
directly to the reservoir, thereby reducing the total
flow and increasing the loader bucket break out
force.
Using the hydraulic speed control while the backhoe
attachment is functioning: 39
For occasional use of the backhoe attachment and
in the interests of fuel consumption, place the switch
in “ON” position. In this mode the attachment speed
is reduced for pressures above 170 bar (2465 psi).
For maximum backhoe loader performance the
switch should be placed in the “OFF” position.

STEER PHASING (4WS)


To select the type of steering required, turn the
switch to the corresponding position. The corre-
sponding position lamp will begin to flash on the
instrument panel. Turn the steering wheel to the
right and then to the left and the lamp will remain on
permanently.
IMPORTANT: The steering mode has been suc-
cessfully changed when the lamp stays on perma-
nently.
Position 1 = “Road”
Position 2 = “4WS”
Position 3 = “Crab steer”
IMPORTANT: When changing from one position to 40
another the speed of the machine must be below
10 km/h (6.214 mph) and the steering wheel turned
to full lock left and right. This allows the hydraulic
cylinders to refill with oil and engage the steering
selected.
The machine is fitted with an audible alarm device,
which warns the operator when the machine is trav-
elling at a speed higher than 12 km/h (7.456 mph),
in crab steering position.

LOADER ATTACHMENT OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS


The instructions contained in this chapter do not
cover all possible conditions of use of the loader
attachment. They only constitute basic information
to enable the machine to be operated correctly.
IMPORTANT: Before operating in temperatures
below -1 °C (30 °F) operate the engine for approxi-
mately 15 minutes at speeds below 1200 rev/min. to
warm the oil to the normal operating temperature.
Where possible, always use the loader attachment
at full engine speed.

NOTE: The first time it is operated, manoeuvre the


machine in a clear area, at low speed.

NOTE: To operate the controls, see “Loader attach-


ment controls” in Section 4.

! WARNING !
Automatic loader bucket levelling only operates
when raising the attachment; it does not operate
when lowering the attachment. You must take care
to keep the bucket level during attachment lowering
to avoid the load being dumped.

SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
- Be careful.
- Make sure that the operator’s seat is correctly
adjusted in the loader attachment position.
- Attach the seat belt.
- Make sure that no other person is in the working
range of the machine.

4 IN 1 LOADER BUCKET CLAM OPENING
INDICATOR (If fitted)
This indicator, located on the top right-hand side of
the clam, allows the operator to see the degree of
clam opening and the bucket digging depth.
When the pin (1) is positioned corresponding to the
“0” the bucket is closed; when its position corre-
sponds to the “1/2” the bucket is half-way opened
and, when it faces the “4/4” the bucket is fully
opened.

25
LOADING OPERATIONS
To fill the bucket from a stock pile, set the bucket in
the level position and lower the attachment with the
control lever to “float” position.

26

6-10
Copyright ©
SECTION 6 - JOB SITE AND ROAD INSTRUCTIONS

When the loader has entered the pile, press down


the transmission disconnect button, allow the con-
trol lever to move backwards and then simultane-
ously operate the controls to lift and roll back the
bucket.
Lift and roll-back of the bucket will increase effi-
ciency as a level bucket throughout the lifting cycle
resists bucket lift and increases break away effort.
NOTE: Do not be concerned if the bucket is not
completely filled during each pass. Maximum pro-
ductivity is determined by the amount of material
loaded in a given period of time. Time is lost if two or
more attempts are made to fill the bucket on each 27
pass.

! WARNING !
To avoid personal injury exercise care when under-
cutting high banks. Soil slides can be dangerous.
Load from the bank as low as possible for maxi-
mum efficiency. Remember that loader lift and
breakaway capacities diminish rapidly as loading
height is increased.

Dump the bucket completely, raise the attachment


and then release the transmission disconnect but-
ton.
Keep the bucket position as low as possible, espe-
cially when working on sloping or rough ground.

! WARNING !
When working on a slope, keep the bucket as low
as possible to ensure maximum stability.
When travelling with a full bucket on rough ground,
keep the bucket as low as possible to avoid spill-
age.
28
Raise the loader high enough to clear any obstruc-
tion prior to dumping the load.
After the bucket is dumped, back away whilst lower-
ing and levelling the bucket using the return to dig
facility if required.

SECTION 6 - JOB SITE AND ROAD INSTRUCTIONS

During hard surface operation, place the loader


lever in “float” and keep the bucket level. This will
permit the bucket to “float” on the contour of the
working surface. If hydraulic down pressure is
exerted, the bucket will wear faster than normal.
The “float” position will prevent the mixing of surface
material with stockpile material. It will also reduce
the chance of surface gouging when removing snow
or other material.
When loading from a bank select the highest for-
ward gear which will provide the most efficient load-
ing operation without going into a “stall”. Keep the
working area free of ruts and holes occasionally
back grading with the bucket using the low rear
edge of the bucket.
For site stripping peeling or scraping, use down
pressure with the loader lever in the lowered posi-
tion, and a slight bucket angle to start the cut. Begin
the cut at the notch approximately 50 mm (2 in)
deep and hold the depth by feathering the bucket to
adjust the cutting lip up or down as required. When
the machine front tyres enter the cut, adjust the lift
arms to maintain the correct depth. Make additional
cuts until the desired depth is reached.
Back grade the working area occasionally with the
bucket flat and slight down pressure to keep the
working area smooth and free from ruts or holes.
If the loader lever is moved for lift cylinder action 30
without controlling the bucket angle, the bucket may
gouge and leave a series of ruts in the surface.
To backfill a trench efficiently it is necessary to move
the maximum amount of soil without losing speed. If
a “stall” occurs downshift or reduce the depth of cut.
If the machine is not working at capacity in the gear
selected, increase the depth of cut.
Operate at right angles to the trench with the loader
bucket level. Leave the soil in the bucket as empty-
ing the bucket on each pass is time-consuming, and
leave soil that drifts over the side of the bucket for
the final clean up. One lengthwise clean up is usu-
ally sufficient to gain an acceptable grade after
backfilling.

6-12
Copyright ©
SECTION 6 - JOB SITE AND ROAD INSTRUCTIONS

When backfilling from a large pile, shovel off the top


of the pile, pushing toward the excavation. Drag
some soil rearward to form a work ramp of conven-
ient grade.
If during the backfill operation the machine front
wheels get stuck in a trench dump the bucket and
apply down pressure to lift the front wheels from the
trench. Actuate the bucket as engine power is
applied to move the machine rearwards.

NOTE: Maximum bucket down pressure may be


obtained by “feathering” the loader lever to the right.
IMPORTANT: The Safe Working Load of the loader
is calculated using a standard bucket, therefore,
when using any other bucket or attachment for “lift-
ing” or “craning” the weight of the bucket or attach-
ment must be taken into account when calculating
the rated load of the loader.
Safe Working Load = 1000 kg (2204 lb).

31
ORGANISING THE JOB SITE
Use the shortest possible work cycle. The location pro-
vided for the trucks is an all important element. Spend
a little time levelling the work area.
A smooth working surface facilitates the work of the
machine and moving and parking the trucks. It gives
a shorter work cycle.

! WARNING !
Operating the loader attachment with a full bucket
on sloping ground can cause the machine to turn
over. If possible avoid turning the steering wheel
and always travel forwards when climbing a slope
and in reverse when travelling down a slope. Keep 32
the bucket as close as possible to the ground.
There is a risk of accident if these instructions are
not observed.

6-13
Copyright ©
SECTION 6 - JOB SITE AND ROAD INSTRUCTIONS

! WARNING !
On the job site, always keep the bucket as close as
possible to the ground so as to increase the
machine’s stability to the maximum and to ensure
perfect visibility.

! WARNING !
On rough or slippery ground, when the bucket is
full, drive the machine as slowly as possible. There
is a risk of accident if these instructions are not
observed.

OPERATING TECHNIQUES

! WARNING !
Never operate any of the backhoe control levers
with the transport boom lock engaged.

Filling the backhoe bucket


Fill the backhoe bucket by manoeuvring the dipper.
Keep the bottom of the backhoe bucket parallel to
the cut. The backhoe bucket teeth and blade must
cut the ground like the blade of a knife. The depth of
dig varies depending on the type of material.
Dump the bucket contents onto the spoil pile, rolling
out the bucket as the pile is approached. Avoid con-
stant jarring or hammering-type contact between the
spoil pile and bucket as this will cause wear to the
bucket pins and bushings.

Moving the machine forwards when working on


flat ground
It is possible to use the backhoe attachment to
move the machine forward at the same time as the
excavation.
1. Make sure that the front wheels are straight.
2. Set the engine speed to 1000 rpm.
3. Release the machine’s brakes by means of the
parking brake.
4. Raise the boom and retract the dipper, then
move the boom so as to place the backhoe
bucket teeth on stable ground.
5. Raise the stabilizers and the loader bucket
about 20 cm (7.8 in) from the ground. 36

6. Use the boom and dipper to move the machine.


7. After moving the machine, lower the stabilizers
and place the loader bucket on the ground, then
level the machine.
8. Use the parking brake to brake the machine.
IMPORTANT: This procedure can only be used on
flat ground. Never use it on sloping ground. On slop-
ing ground it is mandatory to turn the operator’s seat
to the loader attachment position to move the
machine by the normal procedure.
The machine can be moved sideways in the same
fashion, except that the bucket must be flat to sup-
port the weight of the machine. Use the swing con-
trol to move the machine sideways to the required
position.
Telescopic dipper
To avoid the risk of damage and to extend the over-
all life of machines fitted with a telescopic dipper the
following precautions must be observed.
- When the attachment is used for compacting
operations, the telescopic dipper must be fully
retracted and locked.

37

6-16

SECTION 6 - JOB SITE AND ROAD INSTRUCTIONS

- Before returning to normal use, install the pin in


working position (A).
A. Locked position
B. Unlocked position
- When you use the hydraulic breaker, make sure
that the telescopic dipper is retracted and the pin
is in working position (A).
- When using the hand tool the telescopic dipper
must be in unlocked position.
- When using a toothed bucket to break hard
ground, avoid extending the dipper beyond 0.60 m
(2 ft).
38
- When digging in wet soil or mud and the bucket
needs to be cleaned, do not knock the bucket
against the ground with the dipper extended.
- Avoid overloading the attachment by using a
bucket which is too big in harsh working condi-
tions, as this will reduce the useful life of the
machine.
- Do not bottom-out the swing cylinder with the dip-
per extended.
- For safety reasons, when working on sloping
ground, do not swing the boom to dump the
bucket contents on the side sloping down.

! WARNING !
Always wear your seat belt for protection in the 39
event of the machine overturning. Never try to jump
clear, always remain in the cab.

- When operating with the dipper fully extended,


ensure that the bucket does not receive a sharp
impact which will cause distortion of the cylinder
rod.

Trenching
Trenching is the most basic backhoe excavating
operation. Other digging operations are merely vari-
ations of this basic function (i.e. filling the bucket,
dumping the bucket, and moving the unit forward).
While trenching, it is generally important to maintain
a level trench bottom. This is accomplished by set-
ting the bucket at the correct angle of approach. Pull
on the dipper lever to maintain the correct cutting
angle as the bucket is crowding in (1) applying light
pressure to the right. At the same time, pull on the
lift lever (2) to relieve down pressure and keep the
bucket in the same plane.
Continue the trench by moving forward. Moving too 40
far will require excessive down pressure for digging,
plus hand clean-up of the trench bottom. It is better
to move a lesser amount than to move too far.
When using the backhoe for digging on slopes posi-
tion the backhoe uphill wherever possible. If how-
ever, this is not practicable use the loader or
backhoe to cut a level surface into the slope for the
uphill wheel and stabilizer, and deposit the spoil
from the slot onto the downhill side for the opposite
wheel and stabilizer. When digging always deposit
the spoil from the trench on the uphill side.

! WARNING !
When excavating across a slope it is not possible to
make use of the loader bucket for added stability.
Do not overload the bucket and avoid swinging a 41
loaded bucket to the downhill side of the slope.

To finish the far wall on a straight-walled excavation


crowd out the bucket while forcing the bucket down
the excavation from the boom. To finish the rear wall
crowd in the bucket, while lifting with the boom,
keeping the edges of the bucket horizontal.

42

6-18
Copyright ©
SECTION 6 - JOB SITE AND ROAD INSTRUCTIONS

When finishing straight walls in sandy soil, position


a platform under the rear tyres and stabilizers to dis-
tribute the load over a larger area and reduce the
possibility of a cave-in.
The platform will also reduce the possibility of the
machine creeping rearwards if hard digging is
encountered.
IMPORTANT: Do not backfill using the swing device
and dragging the bucket sideways. Doing so can
damage the dipstick, boom, swing cylinders or
mainframe.

43
To backfill a trench, lift the bucket over the spoil pile
and then crowd in the dipper and lift the boom. Pull
both the crowd and boom levers simultaneously for
smooth even backfilling.

PROCEDURE AFTER FUEL PRE-FILTER CHANGE


NOTE: Pre-filling of the filters is not recommended.
Unfiltered fuel may cause starting issues. Do not
loosen any fuel lines or injector lines to bleed air
from the system. They are very high pressure, loos-
ening lines is dangerous and may require replace-
ment of lines.
1. Unscrew bleed screw (1) on pre-filter and acti-
vate hand primer (2) until fuel flows freely from
the bleed screw. This generally takes 35-45
pumps to fill the fuel lines and the pre-filter. This
can be done in about 30 seconds. Tighten bleed
screw.
IMPORTANT: Crank engine. Engine should start 40
within 5 seconds.

REPLACING FILTER
1. Raise the loader attachment, stop the engine,
remove the starter switch key and install the
support strut.
2. Lift the engine guard
3. Clean around the filter head.
4. Place a receptacle of a suitable capacity under
the filter and remove the filter, using the steel
band wrench for filters.
5. Remove the filter from the lower part of the
engine.

41
6. Apply a fine layer of oil or grease on the new fil-
ter seal.

NOTE: Do not fill the new filter with fuel before


installing it.
7. Install the new filter. Turn the filter until the seal
comes in contact with the filter head and then
tighten an extra half turn by hand.
IMPORTANT: Do not use the filter wrench to
tighten. Overtightening can damage the seal and
the filter.

NOTE: It is imperative to use a genuine filter, as 42


supplied by the manufacturer, when making the

PROCEDURE AFTER FUEL FILTER REPLACE


NOTE: Pre-filling of the filters is not recommended.
Unfiltered fuel may cause starting issues. Do not
loosen any fuel lines or injector lines to bleed air
from the system. They are very high pressure, loos-
ening lines is dangerous and may require replace-
ment of lines.
1. Loosen bleed screw (1) on fuel filter head.
2. Activate pre-filter hand primer (2) until fuel flows
freely from the fitting on filter (No foam). This
takes about 25-40 pumps of the hand primer.
This step can be completed in about 30 sec-
onds. The amount of air in this filter has the
greatest impact on how long the engine has to 43
be cranked before it will start, so it is crucial that
all the air be removed from the system at this
point. Retighten bleed screw.
3. The engine can now be cranked. Crank engine
for no more than 30 seconds. If engine does not
start, bleed air from the fuel filter again. Crank
engine again until it starts.
The engine should be run for several minutes before
turning off. The engine will start hard the next 4 or 5
times that it is started. Generally, the engine will
crank for 10 seconds the second time it is started,
about 5 seconds the third, and so on.

PRIMING THE FUEL SYSTEM

NOTE: Pre-filling of the filters is not recommended.


Unfiltered fuel may cause starting issues. Do not
loosen any fuel lines or injector lines to bleed air
from the system. They are very high pressure, loos-
ening lines is dangerous and may require replace-
ment of lines.
1. Open bleed screw (1) on pre-filter only and acti-
vate hand primer (2) until fuel flows freely from
the bleed screw. This generally takes 35-45
pumps to fill the fuel lines and the pre-filter. This
step can be done in about 30 seconds. Tighten
bleed screw.

45
2. Loosen bleed screw (3) on fuel filter head. This
will require a 13 mm wrench.
3. Activate hand primer on fuel pre-filter until fuel
flows freely from the fitting on filter (No foam).
This takes about 100-125 pumps if the fuel filter
is empty. This step can be done in about 1 1/2
minutes. The amount of air in this filter has the
greatest impact on how long the engine has to
be cranked before it will start, so it is crucial that
all the air be removed from the system at this
point. Re-tighten bleed screw.
NOTE: Do not loosen any fuel lines or injector lines
to bleed air from the system. They are very high 46
pressure, loosening lines is dangerous and may
require replacement of lines.
4. The engine can now be cranked. Crank engine
for no more than 30 seconds. If engine does not
start, bleed air from the fuel filter again. Crank
engine again until it starts.
5. The engine should be run for several minutes
before turning off. The engine will require longer
than normal cranks times the next 4 or 5 times
that it is started. Generally, the engine will crank
for 10 seconds the second time it is started,
about 5 seconds the third, and so on.

HYDRAULIC PIPES AND HOSES


Repair all hydraulic oil leaks promptly to avoid loss
of oil and possible damage and dirt entry into the
system. When checking for hydraulic leaks, start
and operate the engine at 1200-1500 rev./min.
Remove and install new hoses immediately, if they
are severely damaged by a cut or scrape, swollen at
the fittings, or leaking.

! WARNING !
Check all hydraulic connections for leakage. If leak-
age is observed, shut off the engine, relieve all 55
hydraulic pressure. Do not tighten any connection
while the system is under pressure.

If a hydraulic hose or tube is renewed the following


procedure should be observed.
Release the fittings (1) and remove the hose or tube
assembly, then remove and discard the O-ring seal
(2).
Dip a new O-ring seal into clean hydraulic oil prior to
installation. Install the new O-ring (2) into the fitting
(1) and if necessary, retain in position using petro-
leum jelly.
Assemble the new hose or tube assembly and
tighten the fitting finger tight, whilst holding the tube
or hose assembly to prevent it from turning.

NOTE: Ensure that when tightening the hose or


tube fitting, the hose or tube assembly does not
turn. If the hose turns while tightening the fitting the
O-ring seal may be damaged.

56

8-26

SECTION 8 - LUBRICATION/FILTERS/FLUIDS

Using two suitable wrenches, tighten the fitting to


specification.
IMPORTANT: Ensure that when an hose or pipe is
renewed/installed, all components are absolutely
clean and free from dirt. Failure to ensure absolute
cleanliness will result in the hose/pipe leaking after
installation or possible damage to other hydraulic
system components.
To ensure a leak free joint is obtained, it is important
that the fittings are not overtorqued or undertorqued.
Bleed the air from the system any time a hydraulic
hose is removed, a pipe disconnected, or the sys-
tem is opened to atmosphere. This is accomplished 57
by running the engine at 1200-1500 rev/min., and
actuating the loader or backhoe control levers (no
load in the bucket) for approximately 15 minutes or
until all air is expelled from the system.
After bleeding the system, position the loader
bucket flat on the ground, put the backhoe into the
transport position, and shut off the engine. Then
check the hydraulic system oil level and add oil if
necessary.

AIR FILTER
INSPECTION
Be sure to carry out regular checks on the air filter,
intake manifold, gaskets and seals. At the same
time, check the intake manifold screws and hose
clamps for tightness.
The hoses should be replaced before they are worn.
Check frequently that the air filter restriction warning
lamp on the instrument panel is in good working
order.
AIR FILTER RESTRICTION WARNING LAMP
If the air filter restriction warning lamp comes on
when the engine is running, the air filter elements
must be checked.

LOADER BUCKET MECHANICAL/HYDRAULIC SELF LEVELLING/RETURN TO DIG


ADJUSTMENT
Return to dig is an electrically activated feature
which enables the operator to automatically return
the bucket to a level digging position for a further
work cycle with one simple movement of the loader
control lever (3).
Whenever the bucket is rolled forward to dump the
return to dig electrical circuit is completed and the
solenoid on the bucket spool is energised.
When the loader bucket control lever (3) is moved
diagonally left to the return to dig position (2) the
electromagnet will hold the bucket spool in the roll
back position until the bucket is in the level digging
position at which time the indicator on the rod of the
bucket self levelling linkage will pass in front of the
sensor which de-energises the electromagnet on
the bucket spool enabling the spool to return to the
neutral position.

RETURN TO DIG SENSOR ADJUSTMENT


The return to dig system consists of an electromag-
net mounted on the loader bucket control valve
spool, a sensor (1) mounted on top of the loader
arm and a pointer attached to the tube of the bucket
self levelling linkage.
1. Place the bucket on the ground in the preferred
digging position.
2. Check the dimensions of 88.5 mm and 7.5 mm
(3.48 in and 0.3 in) are maintained as shown.
3. Ensure the face of the sensor (1) is 6 mm
(0.24 in) from rod (2).
As a visual aid for the operator, while seated in the 3
cab, the pointer mounted on the loader arm can be
seen to align with the pointer on return to dig link-
age, when the loader arms are lowered and the
bucket is in the level digging position.

TURBOCHARGER
Serious damage to the turbocharger bearing can
result from inadequate lubrication if the following
recommendations are not observed.
To prevent turbocharger bearing damage prior to the
first start after a turbocharger has been newly
installed or if for any reason, the oil supply to the tur-
bocharger has been disconnected, or in cases
where the engine is being started for the first time
after a period of 4 weeks or more without use, the
following procedure should be used:
1. Disconnect the inlet and outlet oil pipes from the
turbocharger and pour some clean engine oil
into the oil inlet port, taking care that no contam-
inants enter the turbocharger.
2. Remove the air inlet tube from the turbocharger
and spin the compressor wheel by hand to pre-
lubricate the bearings.
3. Re-connect the oil inlet and air inlet tubes but
not the oil outlet.
4. Disconnect the electrical wire to the fuel injec-
tion pump fuel shut-off solenoid. Place a suita-
ble receptacle below the oil outlet port and
crank the engine until oil flows from the outlet
port.
5. Re-connect the oil outlet tube using a new gas-
ket and tighten the retaining bolts to the torque.
Re-connect the fuel injection pump fuel shut-off
solenoid wire.
6. Check the engine oil level and add oil if neces-
sary. Start the engine and check for oil and air
leaks.
7. Observe the oil pressure warning light. If the oil
pressure warning light is not extinguished in the
first few seconds of idling, stop the engine
immediately and consult your Dealer.
On every start-up the engine should be allowed to
idle (1000 rev/min maximum) for 60 seconds before
operating under load, to ensure an adequate oil
supply to the turbocharger bearing. The engine
should also be allowed to idle without load for two
minutes before shut-down to enable the oil to dissi-
pate the heat from the turbocharger bearing.
