MAINTENANCE 3 Adjust the Bucket Linkage (Backhoe) When play in the linkage increases, remove and install shims as follows: 1. Park the machine on a level surface. Lower the bucket to the ground with the flat side down so that the bucket will not roll. 2. Run the engine at slow idle. With the bucket on the ground, slowly swing counterclockwise slightly until the top of the left bucket boss contacts the arm. 3. Stop the engine. Pull the pilot control shut-off lever to the LOCK position. 4. Adjust the clearance between arm and bucket to become from 0.5mm to 1mm (0.02 – 0.04 in) by Shims. NOTE: The product is shipped with shims (1mm (0.04 in) : 2 pieces, 1.6mm (0.063 in):
1 piece) from the factory. Clearance Adjust Part M104-07-063 Bucket Pin Shim Arm M1J1-07-072 7-81
