Always walk around equipment to avoid coming near a turning PTO driveline. Stepping over, leaning across or crawling under a turning PTO driveline can cause entanglement.

•

Position the machine and implement hitch correctly to prevent driveline stress and separation.

•

Use caution when turning. Turning too sharp can cause driveline damage.

•

Use caution when raising PTO driven implement.

Excessive driveline angle can cause driveline damage. Use stops if needed.

Compact Tractor Requirements And Capabilities •

Fasten seat belt securely when Roll-Over Protective Structure (ROPS) is up and locked. DO NOT wear seat belt if ROPS is down.

•

Compact tractor must be equipped with sway bars or chains.

•

Stop the compact tractor and engage the parking brakes. Install blocks in front of and behind the rear tires of the compact tractor. Install blocks underneath and support the implement securely before working under raised implements.

•

Keep bystanders clear of moving parts and the work area. Keep children away.

•

Use increased caution on slopes and near banks and ditches to prevent overturn.

Park on flat level ground.

Fully lower the loader arms and put the attachment flat on the ground (if equipped).

Fully lower the three-point hitch or mid-mount implements (if equipped).

Lock brake pedals together (if equipped) and engage the parking brake.

Place all controls in neutral.

Stop engine, unfasten seat belt and remove the key.

•

Never allow riders on the compact tractor or implement. Falling off can result in serious injury or death.

•

Start the compact tractor only when properly seated in the operator’s seat. Starting a compact tractor in gear can result in serious injury or death.

•

Operate the compact tractor and attachments / implements from the operator's position only.

•

Add the correct front ballast for rear three-point hitch implements and pull type implements. Add the correct rear ballast when using the loader and attachments.

Front and rear ballast can be purchased from your compact tractor dealer.

•

Do not handle large objects (such as round bales or posts) unless the loader is equipped with the proper attachment and the load is secured.

•

The parking brake must be engaged before leaving the compact tractor operator’s seat. Rollaway can occur because the transmission may not prevent machine movement. Lock the brake pedals together (if equipped) before activating the parking brake.

FIRE PREVENTION

Hydraulic System Check hydraulic tubes, hoses and fittings for damage and leakage. Never use open flame or bare skin to check for leaks. Hydraulic tubes and hoses must be properly routed and have adequate support and secure clamps.

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.

Maintenance The machine and some attachments / implements have components that are at high temperatures 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.

Fueling

Flammable debris (leaves, straw, etc.) must be removed regularly. If flammable debris is allowed to accumulate, it can cause a fire hazard. Clean often to avoid this accumulation. Flammable debris in the engine compartment is a potential fire hazard.

Stop the engine and let it cool before adding fuel. No smoking! Do not refuel a machine near open flames or sparks. Fill the fuel tank outdoors.

The operator’s area, engine compartment and engine cooling system must be inspected every day and cleaned if necessary to prevent fire hazards and overheating.

All fuels, most lubricants and some coolant mixtures are flammable. Flammable fluids that are leaking or spilled onto hot surfaces or onto electrical components can cause a fire.

Ultra Low Sulfur Diesel (ULSD) poses a greater static ignition hazard than earlier diesel formulations with higher Sulfur content. Avoid death or serious injury from fire or explosion. Consult with your fuel or fuel system supplier to ensure the delivery system is in compliance with fueling standards for proper grounding and bonding practices.

Operation

Starting

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

Do not use ether or starting fluids on any engine that has glow plugs. These starting aids can cause explosion and injure you or bystanders.

Electrical

Use the procedure in the Operation & Maintenance Manual for connecting the battery and for jump starting.

Spark Arrester Exhaust System The spark arrester exhaust system is designed to control the emission of hot particles from the engine and exhaust system, but the exhaust components and the exhaust gases are still hot.

Check all electrical wiring and connections for damage.

Keep the battery terminals clean and tight. Repair or replace any damaged part or wires that are loose or frayed.

Check the spark arrester exhaust system regularly to make sure it is maintained and working properly. Use the procedure in the Operation & Maintenance Manual for cleaning the spark arrester (if equipped).

Battery gas can explode and cause serious injury. Use the procedure in the Operation & Maintenance Manual for connecting the battery and for jump starting. Do not jump start or charge a frozen or damaged battery. Keep any open flames or sparks away from batteries. Do not smoke in battery charging area.

FIRE PREVENTION (CONT’D) Welding And Grinding Always clean the machine and attachment / implement, disconnect the battery, and disconnect the wiring from the Bobcat controllers before welding. Cover rubber hoses, battery and all other flammable parts. Keep a fire extinguisher near the machine 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.

Dust generated from repairing nonmetallic parts such as hoods, fenders or covers can be flammable or explosive.

Repair such components in a well ventilated area away from open flames or sparks.

Fire Extinguishers

Know where fire extinguishers and first aid kits are located and how to use them. Inspect the fire extinguisher and service the fire extinguisher regularly.

Obey the recommendations on the instructions plate.

TOWING THE COMPACT TRACTOR Procedure

Towing Compact Tractor With Loader Installed;

IMPORTANT

If possible, slightly raise the attachment off of the ground.

The compact tractor will need to be towed backwards (if possible) to avoid the bucket (or attachment) from digging into the ground while towing.

Never tow the compact tractor faster than 16 km/h (10 mph). Always have someone seated to steer and brake the towed compact tractor.

Use the towing procedure described but install the tow chain to the rear of the compact tractor and tow backwards.

Tow the compact tractor for short distances only.

Towing Compact Tractor With Implement Installed;

I-2263-0910

If the engine can be started, slightly raise the implement off of the ground. The type of implement will determine which direction to tow the compact tractor.

NOTE: When the engine is not running, turning the steering wheel will require more effort. Power steering assist is not available when the engine is OFF.

Implements that dig into the ground will be difficult to tow and may require the implement to be disconnected from the compact tractor before towing. (Example; plow or cultivator.) If the implement must be removed before towing, use the procedure described previously and tow forward to get the compact tractor away from the implement.

Install a tow chain (or cable) to the front of the compact tractor (for towing in the forward direction) or to the drawbar (for towing in the rearward direction).

The tow chain (or cable) must be rated at 1.5 times the weight of the compact tractor and implement / attachment. (See Performance on Page 174.)

NOTE: Do not connect the tow chain (or cable) to the loader, attachment or the implement. Connect to the compact tractor. The rated strength of the tow chain or cable must be rated at 1.5 times the weight of the entire towed load (compact tractor plus the attachment or implement installed). Add the weight of the compact tractor, the loader, the attachment and / or the implement together for the total machine weight to calculate the strength of the tow chain or cable needed.

Enter the compact tractor and fasten the seat belt. Move the PTO engagement lever to the disengaged (OFF) position.

Disengage the front wheel assist.

Move the speed range lever to neutral. Place all controls in neutral.

Disengage the parking brake (use the brake pedal for slowing or stopping the compact tractor).

Always have an operator seated in the operator's seat to operate the steering and brakes while towing the compact tractor. Use ROPS and fasten seat belt. Engage the parking brake and stop the engine before leaving the machine.

If the compact tractor is equipped with a loader or has an implement attached and the engine cannot be started, tow the compact tractor using one of the following procedures:

Biodiesel Blend Fuel

NOTE: Contact your local fuel supplier to receive recommendations for your region.

Biodiesel blend fuel has unique qualities that should be considered before using in this machine:

U.S. Standard (ASTM D975)

•

Use only clean, high quality diesel fuel, Grade Number 2-D or Grade Number 1-D.

Cold weather conditions can lead to plugged fuel system components and hard starting.

•

Ultra low sulfur diesel fuel must be used in this machine.

Ultra low sulfur is defined as 15 mg/kg (15 ppm) sulfur maximum.

Biodiesel blend fuel is an excellent medium for microbial growth and contamination which can cause corrosion and plugging of fuel system components.

•

Use of biodiesel blend fuel may result in premature failure of fuel system components, such as plugged fuel filters and deteriorated fuel lines.

•

Shorter maintenance intervals may be required, such as cleaning the fuel system and replacing fuel filters and fuel lines.

•

Using biodiesel blended fuels containing more than five percent biodiesel can affect engine life and cause deterioration of hoses, tubelines, injectors, injector pump and seals.

The following is one suggested blending guideline that should prevent fuel gelling during cold temperatures: TEMPERATURE

NOTE: Biodiesel blend fuel may also be used in this machine. Biodiesel blend fuel must contain no more than five percent biodiesel mixed with ultra low sulfur petroleum based diesel.

This biodiesel blend fuel is commonly marketed as B5 blended diesel fuel. B5 blended diesel fuel must meet ASTM specifications.

Apply the following guidelines if biodiesel blend fuel is used:

E.U. Standard (EN590)

•

Ensure the fuel tank is as full as possible at all times to prevent moisture from collecting in the fuel tank.

•

Ensure that the fuel tank cap is securely tightened.

•

Biodiesel blend fuel can damage painted surfaces, remove all spilled fuel from painted surfaces immediately.

Use only clean, high quality diesel fuel that meets the EN590 specifications listed below: •

Ultra low sulfur diesel fuel defined as 10 mg/kg (10 ppm) sulfur maximum.

•

Drain all water from the fuel filter daily before operating the machine.

•

Diesel fuel with cetane number of 51.0 and above.

•

Do not exceed engine oil change interval. Extended oil change intervals can cause engine damage.

•

Before vehicle storage; drain the fuel tank, refill with 100% petroleum diesel fuel, add fuel stabilizer and run the engine for at least 30 minutes.

NOTE: Biodiesel blend fuel may also be used in this machine. Biodiesel blend fuel must contain no more than seven percent biodiesel mixed with ultra low sulfur petroleum based diesel.

This biodiesel blend fuel is commonly marketed as B7 blended diesel fuel. B7 blended diesel fuel must meet EN590 specifications.

WARRANTY (CONT’D) In this emissions limited warranty, the term “Manufacturer” means IHI Agri-Tech Corporation (IAT) as the holder of the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (U.S. EPA) Certificate of Conformity and California Executive Order for the vehicle. The emission control limited warranty is in addition to the standard limited warranty for your vehicle.

Your Bobcat dealer is authorized to perform all warranty and service repairs on your diesel engine. To locate a Bobcat dealer, visit www.bobcat.com or call 1-800-743-4340.

IHI AGRI-TECH CORPORATION (IAT) CALIFORNIA EMISSION CONTROL WARRANTY STATEMENT California Air Resources Board (CARB) YOUR WARRANTY RIGHTS AND OBLIGATIONS The California Air Resources Board and IHI Agri-Tech Corporation (IAT) are pleased to explain the emission control system warranty on your 2018 through 2020 engine.

In California, new engines must be designed, built and equipped to meet the State’s stringent anti-smog standards. IAT must warrant the emission control system on your engine for the periods of time listed below provided there has been no abuse, neglect or improper maintenance of your engine. Additional conditions and responsibilities are further outlined below. Where a warrantable condition exists, IAT will repair your engine at no cost to you including diagnosis, parts and labor.

MANUFACTURER’S WARRANTY COVERAGE: IAT warrants to the original owner, and to each subsequent owner, of a new, diesel engine that the emission control system of your engine: 1. Was designed, built and equipped so as to conform at the time of sale with all applicable regulations of the California Air Resources Board (CARB).

2. Is free from defects in material and workmanship that will cause such engine to fail to conform with applicable regulations for the following warranty period: • For variable speed engines rated under 19 kW (25 HP): two (2) years or 1,500 hours of operation, whichever occurs first. In the absence of a device to measure  hours of use, the engine shall be warranted for a period of two years.  The warranty period shall begin: • on the date the equipment is first delivered to the first retail purchaser, or; • if the equipment is placed in service for demonstration purposes prior to sale at retail, on the date the engine is first placed in service.  The emission control systems of your new IAT engine were designed, built and tested using genuine IAT parts, and the engine is certified as being in conformity with CARB emission control regulations. Accordingly, it is recommended that any replacement parts used for maintenance, repair or replacement of emission control systems be IAT parts. Any replacement part may be used in the performance of any maintenance or repairs, although IAT recommends that the owner obtain assurance that such parts are warranted by their manufacturer to be equivalent to genuine IAT parts. Such use shall not reduce the warranty obligations of the engine manufacturer, provided they are warranted to be equivalent to genuine IAT parts.   Any warranted part that is not scheduled for replacement as required maintenance shall be warranted for the warranty period defined above. If any such part fails during the period of warranty coverage, it will be repaired or replaced under warranty. Any such part repaired or replaced under the warranty shall be warranted for the remaining warranty period.   Any warranted part that is scheduled only for regular inspection in the written instructions shall be warranted for the warranty period defined above. A statement in the written instructions to the effect of “repair or replace as necessary” shall not reduce the period of warranty coverage. Any such part repaired or replaced under warranty shall be warranted for the remaining warranty period.   Any warranted part that is scheduled for replacement as required maintenance shall be warranted for the period of time prior to the first scheduled replacement point for that part. If the part fails prior to the first scheduled replacement, the part shall be repaired or replaced by the engine manufacturer under warranty. Any such part repaired or replaced under warranty shall be warranted for the remainder of the period prior to the first scheduled replacement point for the part.   Repair or replacement of any warranted part under warranty shall be performed at no charge to the owner at a warranty station.  IAT provides warranty services or repairs at all manufacturer distribution centers (warranty stations) that are franchised to service the subject engines. Please see the Customer Assistance section of this statement for help in locating such service centers.   The owner will not be charged for diagnostic labor that leads to the determination that a warranted part is in fact defective, provided that such diagnostic work is performed at the warranty station.  IAT is liable for damages to other engine components proximately caused by failure under warranty of any warranted part.   IAT is required by California regulations to maintain a supply of warranted parts sufficient to meet the expected demand for such parts during the warranty period for the engines covered by this warranty.   OWNER’S WARRANTY RESPONSIBILITIES: This engine is designed to operate on ultra-low sulfur diesel fuel only. Use of any other fuel may result in this engine no longer operating in compliance with California’s emissions requirements.  The purchaser is responsible for initiating the warranty process. The California Air Resources Board suggests that the engine be presented to an IAT dealer as soon as a problem exists. The warranty repairs should be completed by the dealer as expeditiously as possible.  Add-on or modified parts, as defined in Section 1900(b)(1) and (b)(10), Title 13, that are not exempted by the Air Resources Board may not be used. The use of any non-exempted add-on or modified parts shall be grounds for disallowing a warranty claim made in accordance with this article. The engine manufacturer shall not be liable under this article to warrant failures of warranted parts caused by the use of a non-exempted add-on or modified part.   The emissions control parts covered by this Emission Control System Warranty are listed under “What is Covered By the Emission Warranty.” As the off-road engine owner, you are responsible for the performance of the required maintenance listed in your owner’s manual. IAT recommends that you retain all receipts covering maintenance on your off-road engine, but IAT cannot deny warranty solely for the lack of receipts or for your failure to ensure the performance of all scheduled maintenance.  As the off-road engine owner, you should however be aware that IAT may deny you warranty coverage if your off-road engine or a part has failed due to abuse, neglect, improper maintenance or unapproved modifications. 
