maintenance

The Bobcat compact tractor is highly maneuverable and compact. It is rugged and useful under a wide variety of conditions. This presents an operator with hazards associated with off highway, rough terrain applications, common with Bobcat machine usage.

The Bobcat compact tractor has an internal combustion engine with resultant heat and exhaust. All exhaust gases can kill or cause illness so use the machine with adequate ventilation.

The dealer and owner / operator review the recommended uses of the product when delivered. If the owner / operator will be using the machine for a different application(s) he or she must ask the dealer for recommendations on the new use.

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.

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

SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS (CONT’D)

•

Make certain that the Slow Moving Vehicle (SMV) emblem is installed so that it is visible and legible.

When transporting the equipment, use the compact tractor flashing warning lights and follow all local regulations.

•

Operate this equipment with a compact tractor equipped with an approved Roll-Over Protective Structure (ROPS). Always wear seat belt when the ROPS is up. Serious injury or death could result from falling off the compact tractor.

•

Before leaving the compact tractor operator’s seat:

Safety Rules For Power Take-Off (PTO) Driven Implements Keep PTO shields and all guards in place. Replace damaged or missing shields and guards before operating.

•

Follow warnings and instructions on machine signs (decals). Replace damaged or missing decals.

•

Do not wear loose or bulky clothing around the PTO or other moving parts.

1. Park on flat level ground.

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

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

4. Lock brake pedals together and engage the parking brake.

5. Place all controls in neutral.

6. Stop engine, unfasten seat belt and remove the key.

•

Keep bystanders away from PTO driven equipment, and never allow children near machines.

•

Read and understand the manuals for the PTO driven equipment and be aware of safe operating procedures and hazards that may not be readily apparent.

•

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.

•

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

•

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

•

•

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

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 before activating the parking brake.

•

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.

Hydraulic System

FIRE PREVENTION

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.

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.

Starting 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.

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

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

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

Spark Arrestor Exhaust System The spark arrestor exhaust system 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.

Electrical

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

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.

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.

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.

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.

ATTACHMENTS Choosing The Correct Bucket

WARNING

WARNING

•

AVOID INJURY OR DEATH Never use attachments or buckets which are not approved by Bobcat Company. Buckets and attachments for safe loads of specified densities are approved for each model. Unapproved attachments can cause injury or death.

• •

W-2052-0907

•

NOTE: Warranty is void if non-approved attachments are used.

AVOID INJURY OR DEATH Steering and braking can be affected by the loader attachment, implements, front wheel assist and the rear differential lock. Always install the correct ballast. Do not exceed the Loader or Three-Point Hitch lift capacities.

Always carry loads low. Slow down when turning.

Always lock brake pedals together for road travel.

Make sure that the brakes are adjusted correctly so the compact tractor does not pull to one side when braking.

W-2558-0908

Steering and braking can be affected by the loader attachment. Always install the correct rear ballast and the tires with the correct load rating. Do not exceed Loader lift capacities. (See Compact Tractor Loader Lift Capacity on Page 201.)

Pallet Forks

Dealer Copy -- Not for Resale

Figure 52

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.

Load varies with model of pallet fork being used.

For Loader lift capacity, (See Compact Tractor Loader Lift Capacity on Page 201.)

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 52]. (See Compact Tractor Loader Lift Capacity on Page 201.)

WARNING • • • • •

See your Bobcat dealer for more information about pallet fork inspection, maintenance and replacement. See your Bobcat dealer for loader lift capacity when using a pallet fork and for other available attachments.

AVOID INJURY OR DEATH Use ROPS and fasten seat belt.

Carry load low. Never carry riders.

Load, unload and turn on flat level ground only.

Adjust rear compact tractor wheels to the widest setting.

Do not exceed the Loader lift capacity. Install the correct rear ballast and the tires with the correct load rating.

TOWING THE COMPACT TRACTOR

Towing Compact Tractor With Loader Installed;

Procedure

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 10 mph (16 km/h). 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-2263-1007

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 206.)

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 switch and mid-PTO lever to the disengaged (OFF) position.

Disengage the front wheel assist.

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

Press the clutch pedal fully and secure the clutch pedal in the storage position.

Disengage the parking brake (but leave the brake pedals locked together 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:

Failure to properly inspect and maintain the seat belt can cause lack of operator restraint resulting in serious injury or death.

W-2466-0703

2

Check the seat belt daily for correct function.

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.

B-22283

The items below are referenced in [Figure 160].

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.

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.

Inspect the seat belt system thoroughly at least once each year or more often if the machine is exposed to severe environmental conditions or applications.

The back-up alarm is located at the rear of the compact tractor on the left fender.

BACK-UP ALARM SYSTEM Description

Figure 162

This machine may be equipped with a back-up alarm system. The back-up alarm will sound when the operator presses the rear of the travel pedal (for reverse travel).

Slight movement of the Travel Control Pedal in the reverse position is required, with hydrostatic transmissions, before the back-up alarm will sound.

A back-up alarm is not a substitute for looking to the rear when operating the compact tractor in reverse, or for keeping bystanders away from the work area.

100%

At a minimum, Low Sulfur (500 ppm sulfur) Diesel Fuel must be used in this machine.

•

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

•

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.

•

Ultra Low Sulfur (15 ppm sulfur) Diesel Fuel.

•

Biodiesel Blend Fuel - Must contain no more than five percent biodiesel mixed with low sulfur or ultra low sulfur petroleum based diesel. This is commonly marketed as B5 blended diesel fuel.

Apply the following guidelines if biodiesel blend fuel is used:

WARNING AVOID INJURY OR DEATH Stop and cool the engine before adding fuel. NO SMOKING! Failure to obey warnings can cause an explosion or fire.

W-2063-0807

WARNING AVOID INJURY OR DEATH Always clean up spilled fuel or oil. Keep heat, flames, sparks or lighted tobacco away from fuel and oil.

Failure to use care around combustibles can cause explosion or fire.

•

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.

•

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

ENGINE COOLING SYSTEM Checking Level

NOTE: The cooling system is factory filled with ethylene glycol coolant (green color). DO NOT mix ethylene glycol with propylene glycol.

Figure 201

Ethylene Glycol Add premixed coolant; 50% water 50% ethylene glycol to the recovery tank if the coolant level is low.

One gallon (3,8 L) ethylene glycol mixed with one gallon (3,8 L) of water is the correct mixture of coolant to provide a -34°F (-37°C) freeze protection.

Use a refractometer to check the condition of ethylene glycol in your cooling system.

1

Open the engine cover. (See ENGINE COVER on Page 140.)

AVOID ENGINE DAMAGE Always use the correct ratio of water to antifreeze.

The coolant recovery tank (Item 1) [Figure 201] is next to the battery.

Too much antifreeze reduces cooling system efficiency and may cause serious premature engine damage.

Too little antifreeze reduces the additives which protect the internal engine components; reduces the boiling point and freeze protection of the system.

WARNING AVOID INJURY Stop the engine and allow to cool before adding coolant or you can be burned.

Always add a premixed solution. Adding full strength concentrated coolant can cause serious premature engine damage.
