Instruction Manual

New Backhoe Design. The completely
new E-Series backhoe delivers increased
digging forces. Its rugged design provides
durability in the toughest applications.
Serrated edges on the stick provides
improved material clamping for clearing
and demolition applications.
New Extendible Stick. The optional
extendible stick (E-stick) increases
reach and dig depth by 1.26 m (4.14 ft).
The new design delivers increased life
and easy in-field adjustment.
High Rotation Backhoe Linkage.
Single pin bucket linkage contributes
to best-in-class rotation of 198 degrees
for all applications, eliminating the need
to change pin position whether loading
trucks or digging tight, vertical wall
trenching. An extra pin hole in the
E-Series buckets is provided to maintain
compatibility with previous machine
models.
Backhoe Boom. The excavator-style
boom features box section fabrication
with thicker plates for optimum
performance and durability. The curved
design provides additional clearance
over obstacles while digging a trench or
truck loading. The narrow boom enhances
the viewing area to the bucket and trench
throughout the entire operating range.
Backhoe Swing Casting. New swing
casting is designed to handle the high
performance of the E-Series backhoe.
It features replaceable bushings for
durability and serviceability.
Thumb Mounting. Thumb mounting
provisions are standard on every
Cat Backhoe Loader for added machine
versatility. Hydraulic thumbs are
available factory-installed.
Single Tilt Loader Linkage. The standard
single tilt loader linkage features strong
lift and breakout forces for solid
performance in backfilling and truck
loading applications. The machine is
equipped with either a general purpose
or multi-purpose pin-on bucket to meet
your specific needs.
Loader Return-to-Dig. The return-to-dig
system reduces loading cycle times by
bringing the loader bucket back to the
dig position with an easy pull of the
lever. By the time the loader bucket is
at ground level, the bucket is angled
correctly for the next load or cut.
