SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS SAFETY IS THE OPERATOR’S RESPONSIBILITY The Bobcat Hydraulic Excavator is a highly maneuverable and compact machine. In operation, it is rugged and useful under a wide variety of conditions. This presents an operator with hazards which are common for of f highway, rough terrain applications but not unique for use of Bobcat Hydraulic Excavator. The excavator has an internal combustion engine with resultant heat and exhaust. All exhaust gases can kill or cause illness so the excavator must be used with adequate ventilation. The excavator must not be used in an area with explosive dusts or gases or so that the engine exhaust can contact flammable material. Some excavators maybe equipped with a spark arrestor muf fler which is required for operation in certain areas.

The dealer recommends the capabilities of the excavator and attachments for each application. The dealer demonstrates the safe operation of the excavator according to the manufacturer’s instructional materials which are also available to all operators. The dealer can also identify unsafe modifications or use of unapproved attachments. The attachments and buckets are designed for rated capacity and secure fastening to the Bobcat Hydraulic Excavator . The user must check with the dealer or Melroe Company literature or load diagram to identify safe loads.

The following publications provide information on the safe use and maintenance of the excavator and attachments: • The Delivery Report is used to check whether complete instructions have been given to the new owner and that the machine is in safe operating condition.

Dealer Copy -- Not for Resale

• The Operation & Maintenance Manual delivered with the Bobcat Hydraulic Excavator gives operating information as well as routine maintenance information. It is a part of the machine and must stay with the machine when it is sold.

SAFE OPERATION NEEDS A QUALIFIED OPERATOR* A QUALIFIED OPERATOR MUST DO THE FOLLOWING:

• UNDERSTAND THE WRITTEN INSTRUCTIONS, RULES AND REGULA TIONS • The written instructions from Melroe Company include the delivery report, operator handbook, Operation & Maintenance Manual, and machine signs (decals).

• Check the rules and regulations at your location.

• HAVE TRAINING WITH ACTUAL OPERATION • Operator training must consist of a demonstration and verbal instruction. This training is given by your excavator dealer before the excavator is delivered.

• The new operator should start in an area without bystanders and use all the controls until he can operate safely unde r all conditions of the work area.

• KNOW THE WORK CONDITIONS • For each material to be handled, the operator must know how to avoid exceeding the rated lift capacity of th e excavator. For example, you should not use the excavator for lifting heavy objects.

Check all of the items on the Service Schedule under the 8–10 hour column.

FIRE PREVENTION The excavator 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. These conditions make it important to avoid applications where explosive dust or gases can be ignited by arcs, sparks or heat.

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

If equipped the spark arrestor muf fler 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. This spark arrestor muffler does not change the need to avoid use of the excavator in an atmosphere with explosive dust or gases or where the exhaust can contact flammable material.

• Do not use the Hydraulic Excavator where explosive dust or gases can be ignited by arcs, sparks, hot components or exhaust gases.

• The operator cab, engine compartment and engine cooling system must be inspected every day and cleaned if necessary to prevent overheating. Remove all flammable material.

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

• Do not use ether or starting fluids on any engine which has glow plugs. These starting aids can explode and injure bystanders.

Dealer Copy -- Not for Resale

• Check fuel and hydraulic tubes, hoses and fittings for damage and leakage. T ighten or replace any parts that show leakage. Always clean fluid spills.

• Always clean the excavator before doing any welding. Cover rubber hoses, battery and all other flammable parts. Keep a fire extinguisher near the machine when welding.

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

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

• Use the procedure in the Operation & Maintenance Manual for servicing the spark arrestor muffler (if equipped) every 100 hours of operation.

• Know where fire extinguishers and first aid kits are located and how to use them. A fire extinguisher is available from your Bobcat Dealer.

When operating in water or crossing streams, first check the soil conditions, depth and flow of water . Never operate in water higher than the bottom of the swing circle.

OPERATING PROCEDURE Breaking In A New Machine When operating on a public road or highway , always follow local regulations. For example: Slow Moving Vehicle Sign or Directional Signals may be required.

NOTE: Be careful when removing the machine from water. The engine may become filled with water and damage could result.

A new machine requires careful operation during the first 100 hours to break in various parts.

If a machine is subjected to hard use during the initial operation, the performance and service life will be reduced.

Do not operate the machine when visibility is poor (fog, mist or smoke).

If it is necessary to operate the control levers when moving the machine near a clif f, road shoulders, or sloping ground, stop the machine travel before operating any work equipment levers.

Do the following when operating a new machine:

Do not dig under the machine.

• After starting, let the engine idle for 5 minutes so the engine and components can warm up.

Check with utility companies, for underground electrical, water, gas lines, etc. Work slowly in areas of underground utilities.

• Avoid operation with heavy loads or at high speeds.

• Avoid sudden starting or stopping or abrupt motions.

Do not allow the bucket teeth to contact the groundwhen swinging the upperstructure.

General Operation Suggestions

Do not use the bucket as a breaker or pile driver. It is better to excavate hard or rocky ground after breaking it with other equipment. This will reduce damage to the machine.

When operating on uneven ground or in places where there are obstacles, do the following: • Operate as slow as possible and avoid sudden changes in direction.

• Avoid traveling over objects (such as rocks, trees, stumps, etc.).

To brake the machine when going down a slope, put the steering levers in NEUTRAL position. This will engage the hydrostatic braking.

When the engine stops on a slope, move the steering levers to the neutral position. Lower the boom/bucket.

When working in wet or soft ground, put planking on the ground to prevent the machine from getting stuck. If the machine is stuck in soft soil, use the following procedure to move the machine to firm ground:

NOTE: The ignition switch must be in the ON position with the engine stopped to activate the accumulator pressure to lower the boom/bucket to the ground.

• If one track or both tracks are stuck in soft soil, push the bucket down against the ground to raise the track (or tracks, one side at a time) off the ground.

Start the engine and resume the operation.

• Place timber (planks) under the track(s) and drive the machine to firm ground.

• It may help to put the bucket into the ground in front and move the arm as if you were digging to help move the machine.

W–2199–0595

Stop the machine travel before moving the upper equipment controls. Never allow the blade to strike a solid object. Damage to the blade or hydraulic cylinder can result.

RECOMMENDED POSITION FOR WORKING ON A SLOPE

It is recommended to level the work area [C].

If this is not possible, the following procedures should be used: MC–1865C

Do not work on slopes which are over 15 degrees.

Slow down the work cycle. Avoid working with the tracks across the slope as this reduces stability and increases the tendency for the machine to slide. Position the excavator with the blade down hill and lowered.

Avoid swinging or extending the bucket farther than necessary in a down hill direction. When you must swing the bucket down hill, keep the dipper arm low and skid the bucket downhill.

When working with the bucket on the uphill side, keep the bucket as close to the ground as possible. Dump the spoil far enough away from the trench or hole to prevent the possibility of a cave in.

Center Of Track Measure the distance between the frame and the top of the track. If the distance is between 2.25–2.50 inch (57–63 mm), the track tension is correct [B].

If not, loosen one bolt and remove the other bolt from the cover [C].

P–00854

C

Add grease to the fitting(Item 1) [D] until the track tension is correct.

Cover

If track tension is too tight, decrease the track tension pressure by loosening the bleed screw (Item 2) [D] (maximum of 1 turn) and allow grease to flow out of the bleed screw. When the tension is correct, tighten the bleed screw.

Repeat the procedure for the other side.

If the track tension is still loose after adjusting to the above mentioned limit, it indicates the track is worn. See your dealer for repairs.

AVOID INJURY

2

Do not loosen the grease fitting more than one complete rotation. Also, be careful not to loosen any part other than the grease fitting. If the grease fitting or any part is loosened too much, it can fly off under high pressure. If the grease does not ooze smoothly, try moving the machine back and forth for a short distance.
