W–2044–1285

FIRE PREVENTION The loader has several components that are at high temperature under normal operating conditions. The primary source of high temperatures is the engine and exhaust system. The electrical system, if damaged or incorrectly maintained, can be a source of arcs or sparks.

Flammable debris (leaves, straw, etc.) must be removed regularly . If flammable debris is allowed to accumulate, it will increase the fire hazard. The loader must be cleaned as often as necessary to avoid this accumulation. Flammable debris in the engine compartment is a fire hazard when the loader is parked with a hot engine.

The spark arrestor muffler is designed to control the emission of hot particles from the engine and exhaust system, but the muffler and the exhaust gases are still hot.

• Do not use the Bobcat loader where exhaust, arcs, sparks or hot components can contact flammable material, explosive dust or gases.

• The engine compartment and engine cooling system must be inspected everyday and cleaned if necessary to prevent fire hazard and overheating.

• Check all electrical wiring and connections for damage. Keep the battery terminals clean and tight. Repair or replace any damaged part.

• Check fuel and hydraulic tubes, hoses and fittings for damage and leakage. Never use open flame or bare skin to check for leaks. Tighten or replace any parts that show leakage. Always clean fluid spills. Do not use gasoline or diesel fuel for cleaning parts. Use commercial nonflammable solvents.

Dealer Copy -- Not for Resale

• Do not use ether or starting fluids on this engine. It has glow plugs. These startingaids can cause explosion and injure you or bystanders.

• Always clean the loader and disconnect the battery before doing any welding. Cover rubber hoses, battery and all other flammable parts. Keep a fire extinguisher near the loader when welding. Have good ventilation when grinding or welding painted parts. Wear dust mask when grinding painted parts. Toxic dust or gas can be produced.

• Stop the engine and let it cool before adding fuel. No smoking!

• Use the procedure in the Operation & Maintenance Manual for connecting the battery.

• Use the procedure in the Operation & Maintenance Manual for cleaning the spark arrestor muffler.

ATTACHMENTS AND BUCKETS

A

Never use attachments or buckets which are not approved by Melroe Company. Buckets and attachments for safe loads of specified densities are approved for each model.

Unapproved attachments can cause injury or death.

W–2052–1285

The rated operating capacity for this loader is shown on a label in the operator cab. (SeeSPECIFICATIONS Page 87.) It is determined by using a standard dirt bucket, and material of normal density, such as dirt or dry gravel. If longer buckets are used, the load center moves forward and reduces the rated operating capacity. If very dense material is loaded, the volume must be reduced.

AVOID INJURY OR DEATH Do not exceed Rated Operating Capacity.

Excessive load can cause tipping or loss of control.

W–2053–0887

Exceeding the rated operatingcapacity [A] can cause the following problems: 1. Steering the loader may be difficult.

2. Tires will wear faster.

B

3. There will be a loss of stability.

WEIGHT OF LOADS LBS. (KG) (Without counterweights)

800 (360)

Use the correct size bucket for the type and density of material being handled. For safe handling of materials and avoiding machine damage, the attachment (or bucket) should handle a full load without going over the rated operating capacity for the loader.Partial loads make steering more difficult.

705 (320)

4. The life of the Bobcat loader will be reduced.

Dealer Copy -- Not for Resale

B–06587

The dealer can identify , for each model loader, the attachments and buckets approved by Melroe Company.

The buckets and attachments are approved for rated operating capacity and for secure fastening to the Bob–Tach.

SPARK ARRESTOR MUFFLER

A

See the SERVICE SCHEDULE Page 37 for service interval for cleaning the spark arrestor muffler.

Do not operate the loader with a defective exhaust system.

1 This loader is factory equipped with a U.S.D.A. Forestry Service approved spark arrestor muffler. It is necessary to do maintenance on this spark arrestor muffler to keep it in working condition. The spark arrestor muffler must be serviced by dumping the spark chamber every 100 hours of operation.

If this machine is operated on flammable forest, brush or grass covered land, it must be equipped with a spark arrestor attached to the exhaust system and maintained in working order. Failure to do so will be in violation of California State Law, Section 4442 PRC.

When an engine is running in an enclosed area, fresh air must be added to avoid concentration of exhaust fumes. If the engine is stationary, vent the exhaust outside.

Exhaust fumes contain odorless, invisible gases which can kill without warning.

Make reference to local laws and regulations for spark arrestor requirements.

W–2050–1285

Stop engine and allow the muffler to cool before cleaning the spark chamber. Wear safety glasses or goggles. Failure to obey can cause serious injury.

Tire Mounting 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 excessive pressure which can rupture the tire and cause serious injury or death. During inflation of the tire, check the tire pressure frequently to avoid over inflation.

B–09976

Inflate tires to the MAXIMUM pressure shown on the sidewall of the tire. DO NOT mix brands of tires used on the same loader.

I–2057–0794

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.

Indicator Light

Flashing Indicator Means System Problem (See Your Bobcat Dealer for Service) Effect on Operation of Loader When Light Is Number of OFF Flashes Cause

Lift, tilt and traction functions will not operate.

* Normal BICS operating voltage is less than the electrical system voltage. If voltage is more, the circuit is shorted to system voltage.

NOTES: (1) If the seat and/or seat bar sensor circuits are open, the corresponding lights will be OFF. If one of the lights stay OFF, check the circuit for continuity. See Inspection & Maintenance Instructions in Preventive Maintenance section.

(2) If all five lights flash repeatedly, the voltage supply is greater than 16 volts or less than 9 volts.

(3) Flashing patterns will repeat every 3.25 seconds.

(4) If seat indicator light does not go ON, check for debris, dirt or objects under or behind the seat. The Seat Sensor Override♦ can be used if the seat sensor cannot be activated. ♦ Only on later loaders, and early loaders which have had BICS Controller and switch replaced.

NOTE: If the Seat Bar is lowered before the seat sensor is activated, a 10 second delay will occur before the valve and traction lights come on. (only loaders with BICS controller S/N’s above 200,000 will have this delay.)

ADVANCED HAND CONTROLS (AHC) Troubleshooting Chart The AHC has a built–in diagnostic function which uses the two lights on the left handle.

Both lights will be ON when theAHC is functioning correctly. The lights will flash in a specific pattern to indicate a problem (See Below). (See your Bobcat dealer for service information.)
