Rear tires usually wear faster than front tires. To keep tire wear even, move the front tires to the rear and rear tires to the front [A]

It is important to keep the same size tires on each side of the loader to avoid excessive wear. If different sizes are used, each tire will be turning at a different rate and cause excessive wear. The tread bars of all the tires must face the same direction.

Recommended tire pressure must be maintained to avoid excessive tire wear and loss of stability and handling capability. Check for the correct pressure before operating the loader.

Do not inflate tires above specified pressure. Failure to use correct tire mounting procedure can cause an explosion which can result in injury or death.

W–2078–1285

Tire Inflation

Tires are to be repaired only by an authorized person using the proper procedures and safety equipment. Tires and rims must always be checked for correct size before mounting. Check rim and tire bead for damage.

The rim flange must be cleaned and free of rust. The tire bead and rim flange must be lubricated with a rubber lubricant before mounting the tire, avoid excess pressure which can rupture the tire and cause serious injury ordeath. During inflation of the tire, check the tire pressure frequently to avoid over inflation.

FINAL DRIVE TRANSMISSION (CHAINCASE)

The chaincase contains the final drive sprockets and the chains and is filled with the same type of fluid as is used in the hydraulic system. (See SPECIFICATIONS Page 71.)

Checking And Adding Oil

Put the loader on a level surface.Remove the plug at the front of the chaincase (Item 1) [A]. If the fluid can be reached with the tip of your finger through the hole, the level is correct.

Add fluid through the check plug hole until the fluid flows from the hole. Install and tighten the plug.

Auxiliary Control Lockbolt

The Auxiliary control has a lockbolt (Item 1) [B] that must be removed to use the optional auxiliary hydraulics.

Raise the operator cab. (See Raising The Operator Cab Page 32.)

Remove the nut and bolt (Item 1) [B] from the right hand steering lever.

LUBRICATING

Base End Lift Cylinder (Item 1–Both sides) [A]

Rod End Lift Cylinder (Item 1–Both sides) [B]

Lift Arm Pivot Pin (Item 1–Both sides) [C].

Rod End Tilt Cylinder (Item 1) [D].

LUBRICATING THE LOADER (Cont’d)

Base

Pivot Pins

All pivot pins, lift arms and cylinders have a large pin held in position with lockbolts and retainer (Item 1) [A] & [B]

Check that the lockbolts are tightened to 8–10 ft.–lbs. (11–13 Nm) torque.

Do not over–tighten.

BOB–TACH

Inspection And Maintenance

Move the Bob–Tach lever (Item 1) [C] to engage the wedges. The levers and wedges must move freely.

The wedges must extend through the holes in the attachment mounting frame (Item 1) [D]

Bob–Tach wedges must extend through the holes in attachment. Lever(s) must be fully down and locked. Failure to secure wedges can allow attachment to come off and cause injury or death.

Inspect the mounting frame on the attachment and the Bpb–Tach, linkages and wedges for excessive wear or damage. Replace anyu parts that are damaged, bent, or missing. Keep all fasteners tight.

Look for cracked welds. Contact your Bobcat dealer for repair or replacement parts.

Lubricate the wedges (See SERVICE SCHEDULE,Page 29 and LUBRICATION OF THE BOBCAT LOADER, Page 52.)
