The dealer explains the capabilities and restrictions of the Bobcat compact tractor and attachment or implement for each application. The dealer demonstrates the safe operation according to Bobcat instructional materials, which are also available to operators. The dealer can also identify unsafe modifications or use of unapproved attachments or implements.

The attachments, implements and buckets are designed for the loader and the Three-Point Hitch lift capacities. They are designed for secure fastening to the Bobcat machine. The user must check with the dealer, or Bobcat literature, to determine safe loads of materials of specified densities for the compact tractor and attachment / implement combination.

Call Before You Dig When you call, you will be directed to a location in your state / province, or city for information about buried lines (telephone, cable TV, water, sewer, gas, etc.).

The following publications and training materials provide information on the safe use and maintenance of the Bobcat compact tractor and attachments / implements: •

The Delivery Report is used to assure that complete instructions have been given to the new owner and that the machine and attachment is in safe operating condition.

•

The Operation & Maintenance Manual delivered with the machine or attachment gives operating information as well as routine maintenance and service procedures. It is a part of the machine and can be stored in a container provided on the machine.

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; 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.

IMPORTANT

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

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

Towing Compact Tractor With Implement Installed;

Tow the compact tractor for short distances only.

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 152.)

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:

4

Any seat belt system that shows cuts, fraying, extreme or unusual wear, significant discolorations due to ultraviolet UV exposure, dusty / dirty conditions, abrasion to the seat belt webbing, or damage to the buckle, latch plate, retractor (if equipped), hardware or any other obvious problem should be replaced immediately.

The items below are referenced in [Figure 152].

1. Check the webbing. If the system is equipped with a retractor, pull the webbing completely out and inspect the full length of the webbing. Look for cuts, wear, fraying, dirt and stiffness.

B-22283

2. Check the buckle and latch for correct operation.

Make sure latch plate is not excessively worn, deformed or buckle is not damaged or casing broken.

3. Check the retractor web storage device (if equipped) by extending webbing to determine if it looks correct and that it spools out and retracts webbing correctly.

4. Check webbing in areas exposed to ultraviolet (UV) rays from the sun or extreme dust or dirt. If the original color of the webbing in these areas is extremely faded and / or the webbing is packed with dirt, the webbing strength may have deteriorated.

See your Bobcat dealer for seat belt system replacement parts for your machine.

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

GRADE 2-D GRADE 1-D

Above -9°C (+15°F)

100%

0%

Down to -21°C (-5°F)

50%

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.
