replacement procedure.

Remove the backhoe bucket and place the backhoe in

the position shown at A.

2

Lower the stabilisers.

3

Stop the engine and disconnect the battery (to prevent

the engine being started).

several times to release pressure trapped in the

hydraulic hoses.

Hydraulic Pressure

Hydraulic fluid at system pressure can injure you. Before

disconnecting or connecting hydraulic hoses, stop the

engine and operate the controls to release pressure

trapped in the hoses. Make sure the engine cannot be

started while the hoses are open.

5

Disconnect the hydraulic hoses, as shown at B. Always

label hydraulic hoses before disconnecting them, this

will ensure that they are correctly reconnected. Plug

and cap all hose open ends to prevent ingress of dirt

and loss of hydraulic fluid.

6

Place a suitable support underneath the dipper ram as

shown at C.

7

Wrap a sling around the dipper as shown at D. Make

sure the weight of the dipper is held by the sling before

removing pivot pins etc.

8

Remove nut E, bolt F and pivot pin G.

9

Remove two thin nuts H, bolt J and pivot pin K.

Note: It is important to use two thin nuts, this arrangement

allows the pivot pin retaining bolt to be secured without

inducing a lateral tension.

10

Hoist the dipper clear of the boom.

Replacement

! WARNING

Hydraulic Fluid

Fine jets of hydraulic fluid at high pressure can penetrate

the skin. Do not use your fingers to check for hydraulic

fluid leaks. Do not put your face close to suspected

leaks. Hold a piece of cardboard close to suspected

leaks and then inspect the cardboard for signs of

hydraulic fluid. If hydraulic fluid penetrates your skin, get

medical help immediately.

Replacement is generally a reversal of the installation

procedure.

M12 thin nuts. Fit the first thin nut with zero torque, fit the

second thin nut and torque to 98Nm (72 lbf ft).

When fitting the dipper to the boom, make sure that shim,

item L is installed as shown.
