6.

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.

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.

The three-point hitch lowering speed / lock valve (Item 1) [Figure 76] is used to control the lowering rate of the lower links when the three-point hitch position lever is moved.

CT235 and CT2540 models only are equipped with a remote three-point hitch position lever (Item 1) [Figure 75].

Turn the knob (Item 1) counterclockwise to increase the lowering speed. Turn the knob (Item 1) [Figure 76] clockwise to decrease the lowering speed.

The remote three-point hitch position lever is used to select the desired position of the three-point hitch lower links. The position of the lever will determine the position of the lower links. The lever can be used to raise and lower the lower links when connecting and disconnecting a three-point implement.

The lowering speed / lock valve can also be used to lock the three-point hitch lower links from lowering. The lock valve does not prevent the three-point hitch lower links from raising. The three-point hitch lower links should be locked when traveling on a public road to help prevent unintentional lowering of the implement.

SLOWLY move the three-point hitch position lever (Item 1) up to raise the lower links or SLOWLY move the threepoint hitch position lever (Item 1) [Figure 75] down to lower the lower links.

NOTE: Do Not stand between the compact tractor and the implement when raising or lower the lower links. Keep arms and feet away from the implement and three-point hitch components when adjusting the lower link position.

NOTE: The lowering speed / lock valve should be set so the implement takes at least two seconds to go from fully raised to ground level.

IMPORTANT Do not operate the three-point hitch control lever with Three-Point Hitch Lowering Speed / Lock Valve in the locked position. Hydraulic oil flow is restricted by the lowering speed / lock valve and will activate the relief valve. This can cause the hydraulic oil to overheat.

DIESEL PARTICULATE FILTER (DPF) SYSTEM Description For Models CT2035, CT2040, CT2535 And CT2540 Only

Passive Regeneration - The engine provides adequate exhaust temperature during operation for regeneration.

The engine exhaust system is equipped with a diesel particulate filter (DPF).

Active Regeneration - The engine control unit (ECU) automatically controls active regeneration. Active regeneration can occur anytime the engine is operating.

The DPF is an emissions reduction device that removes diesel particulate matter (soot) from the exhaust gases of the diesel engine. The DPF will trap and collect the soot until it is burned off.

Parked Regeneration - The operator initiates a parked regeneration by pressing the top of the DPF switch (Item 1). (See NOTE below.)

The process of burning off the collected soot is called regeneration. There are four types of regeneration, passive, active, parked, and service.

Service Regeneration - Your Bobcat dealer uses specialized equipment to perform a service regeneration.

Pallet Forks Figure 93

The dealer can identify, for each model, the attachments, buckets and ballast approved by Bobcat. The buckets and attachments are approved for loader lift capacity and for secure fastening to the loader arms.

For loader lift capacity, (See Compact Tractor Loader Lift Capacity (CT2025) on Page 207.) or (See Compact Tractor Loader Lift Capacity (CT2035, CT2040, CT2535 And CT2540) on Page 208.)

Load varies with model of pallet fork being used.

Loader lift capacity is determined by using the proper rear ballast and a standard bucket filled with material of normal density, such as dirt or dry gravel. If larger buckets are used, the load center can change and the Loader lift capacity will be reduced. If very dense material is loaded, the volume must be reduced to prevent overloading.

B-17255

The maximum load to be carried when using a pallet fork is shown in the Specifications section of this manual [Figure 93]. (See Compact Tractor Loader Lift Capacity (CT2025) on Page 207.) and (See Compact Tractor Loader Lift Capacity (CT2035, CT2040, CT2535 And CT2540) on Page 208.)

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 (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 214.)

NOTE: Do not connect the tow chain (or cable) to the loader, attachment or the implement, connect to the compact tractor only. 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 switch (if equipped), mid-PTO lever (if equipped) to the disengaged (OFF) position.

Disengage the front wheel assist.

Move the speed range lever to neutral.

For Manual Transmission Models: Move the speed range lever to neutral (N) and the gear shift lever to neutral.

For HST Models: Move the speed range lever to neutral (N).

Place all controls in neutral.

Disengage the parking brake, but leave the brake pedals locked together (if equipped) 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:

FUEL SYSTEM Fuel Specifications

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

GRADE 2-D GRADE 1-D

Above -9°C (+15°F)

100%

0%

Down to -21°C (-5°F)

50%

50%

Below -21°C (-5°F)

0%

100%

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.

DIESEL PARTICULATE FILTER (DPF) SYSTEM Description

DPF Cleaning

For models CT2035, CT2040, CT2535 And CT2040 Only: The engine exhaust system is equipped with a diesel particulate filter (DPF). The DPF is an emissions reduction device that removes diesel particulate matter (soot) from the exhaust gases of the diesel engine. The DPF will trap and collect the soot until it is burned off. The process of burning off the collected soot is called regeneration.

Cleaning the DPF is recommended at the 3000 hour time frame.

The general warning icon Service Engine Soon Indicator Light (Item 1) [Figure 256] will illuminate.

The DPF is a critical component of the engine exhaust system and must be properly maintained. Specialized equipment is required to clean the ash from the DPF. See your Bobcat dealer for DPF cleaning.

Ash residue will remain after the regeneration process is complete. The ash must be periodically removed from the DPF. (See DPF Cleaning on Page 171.)

WARNING AVOID SERIOUS INJURY OR DEATH Exhaust gas temperature and exhaust system components are hot during regeneration. Keep flammable material, explosive dust, and explosive gases away from exhaust system.

Daedong-USA INC. KIOTI Tractor Division (KIOTI) CONSUMER WARRANTY RIGHTS & OBLIGATIONS INTRODUCTION Daedong-USA INC. KIOTI Tractor Division (KIOTI) is pleased to explain the emission control system warranty on your 2019 model year engine designed & manufactured to meet the stringent requirements of Tier IV.  In North America, new engines must be designed; built and equipped to meet the EPA’s reduced emission standards & California’s stringent anti-smog standards. KIOTI 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, KIOTI will repair your engine at no cost to you including diagnosis, parts and labor.  The warranty period shall begin on the date the engine is first placed in service (Date of sale). This emissions warranty is applicable in all provinces, states and territories of the United States of America and complies with the policies of Federal Warranty Provisions. This warranty is also applicable in all provinces & territories of Canada.

MANUFACTURER’S WARRANTY COVERAGE: KIOTI 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 EPA and CARB. 2. Is free from defects in material and workmanship which will cause such engine to fail to conform with applicable regulations for the following warranty period: • For variable speed engines rated less than 19 kW (25 HP), excluding UTV’s: - Commercial application: Three (3) years or 2,000 hours of operation, whichever occurs first.  - Non-Commercial application: Four (4) years • For all other variable speed engines rated at or above 19 kW (25 HP): - Commercial application: Five (5) years or 3,000 hours of operation, whichever occurs first. - Non-Commercial application: Five (5) years  The emission control systems of your new Daedong engine were designed, built and tested using genuine Daedong parts, and the engine is certified as being in conformity with EPA and CARB emission control regulations.  Accordingly, it is recommended that any replacement parts used for maintenance, repair or replacement of emission control systems be genuine Daedong parts.  Owners may choose to use any replacement part in the performance of any maintenance or non-warranty repairs although KIOTI recommends that the owner obtain assurance that such parts are warranted by their specific part manufacturer to be equivalent to genuine Daedong parts.  Any warranted part which 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 which 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 which 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 an authorized KIOTI warranty station. KIOTI 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 an authorized KIOTI warranty station.  KIOTI is liable for damages to other engine components caused by the failure of a warranted part remaining under warranty.  KIOTI is required by EPA and CARB regulations to maintain a supply of 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 fuel only. Use of any other fuel may result in this engine no longer operating in compliance with applicable emissions requirements. The purchaser is responsible for initiating the warranty process by presenting the engine to an authorized KIOTI Warranty Station, as soon as a problem exists. The warranty repairs should be completed by the dealer as expeditiously as possible. Use of any add-on, modified or non-KIOTI approved or equivalent replacement parts may reduce or eliminate your warranty coverage. The use of any non-approved, add-on or modified parts shall be grounds for disallowing a warranty claim. KIOTI is not liable for warranty failures of warranted parts caused by the use of a nonapproved, 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.” You are responsible for the performance of all scheduled maintenance or repairs on your new Daedong engine.  KIOTI may deny a warranty claim if your failure to perform maintenance results in the failure of a warranted part. Receipts covering the performance of regular maintenance should be retained in the event questions arise concerning maintenance. The receipts should be transferred to each subsequent owner of the equipment with the emission warranted engines.   CUSTOMER ASSISTANCE In the event that you do not receive the warranty service to which you believe you are entitled under the Emission Control System’s Warranty, you should contact KIOTI at the address below for assistance.
