SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS Before Operation Carefully follow the operating and maintenance instructions in this manual.

The Bobcat utility vehicle 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 road, rough terrain applications, common with Bobcat utility vehicle usage.

This vehicle handles differently than other vehicles, such as motorcycles, golf cars or cars. If you fail to take proper precautions, a collision or rollover can occur quickly, even during routine maneuvers like turning, braking, driving over rough terrain and up and down hills or over obstacles. This can result in severe injury or death.

This vehicle is intended for off road use only and should not be operated on public roads.

Driving this vehicle in an aggressive manner can increase the risk of head injury and requires head protection. For these aggressive driving conditions, Bobcat Company recommends that all occupants wear a properly fitting Department of Transportation (D.O.T.) approved helmet.

Always follow these instructions: • Fasten seat belts for occupant restraint before operating.

• Keep hands and feet inside the vehicle at all times.

• Travel at appropriate vehicle speeds depending on the type of terrain, visibility conditions, operating conditions and your operating experience.

• Wear eye protection.

• Wear other personal protective equipment such as a helmet or hard hat, face protection, hearing protection, safety boots or shoes, chemical suit, respirators and gloves as needed by work location and vehicle operation.

• NEVER attempt jumps or other stunts with the vehicle.

This vehicle is an ADULT VEHICLE ONLY. NEVER operate this vehicle if you are under age 16 and NEVER operate without a valid drivers license.

No person under the age of 12 may ride as a passenger in this vehicle. Any passenger must be able to comfortably reach the floor and hand holds.

FIRE PREVENTION

SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS (CONT’D) Equipment Modifications Bobcat strongly recommends that operator’s do not install on the Bobcat Utility Vehicle, any equipment that may increase the speed or power of the vehicle, or make any other modifications to the vehicle for these purposes.

Any modifications to the original equipment of the utility vehicle create a substantial safety hazard and increase the risk of bodily injuries.

Maintenance The utility vehicle and some attachments and accessories 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.

The warranty on your Bobcat Utility Vehicle is terminated if any equipment has been added to the vehicle, or if any modifications have been made to the vehicle, that increases speed or power.

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.

Avoid Silica Dust

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 coolants mixtures are flammable. Flammable fluids that are leaking or spilled onto hot surfaces or onto electrical components can cause a fire.

Cutting or drilling concrete containing sand or rock containing quartz may result in exposure to silica dust.

Do not exceed Permissible Exposure Limits (PEL) to silica dust as determined by OSHA or other job site Rules and Regulations. Use a respirator, water spray or other means to control dust. Silica dust can cause lung disease and is known to the state of California to cause cancer.

Operation Do not use the utility vehicle where exhaust, arcs, sparks or hot components can contact flammable material, explosive dust or gases. Do not park this vehicle near open flames or pilot lights.

Electrical

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.

FIRE PREVENTION (CONT’D)

Welding And Grinding

Hydraulic System

Always clean the utility vehicle attachments and accessories, disconnect the battery, and disconnect the wiring from the Bobcat controllers before welding. Cover fuel tank, rubber hoses, battery and all other flammable parts. Keep a fire extinguisher near the utility vehicle when welding.

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.

Have good ventilation when grinding or welding painted parts. Wear dust mask when grinding painted parts.

Toxic dust or gas can be produced.

Always clean fluid spills. Do not use gasoline or diesel fuel for cleaning parts. Use commercial nonflammable solvents.

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.

Fueling

Fire Extinguishers

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

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.

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.

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

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.

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

• Always exercise extreme caution whenever handling diesel fuel.

• Always stop the engine when refueling.

• Always refuel outdoors or in a well ventilated area.

• Remove flammable material containers from the box before filling them with fuel.

• Do not smoke or allow open flames or sparks in or near the area where refueling is performed or where diesel fuel is stored.

• Do not overfill the tank. Do not fill the tank neck.

• If diesel fuel spills on your skin or clothing, immediately wash it off with soap and water and change clothing.

• Store diesel fuel in an approved container only.

Store in a well-ventilated area away from sparks, open flames, heaters, or heat sources • Keep diesel fuel out of the reach of children.

• To avoid the possibility of fire, clean up any spilled fuel before operating the vehicle.

AVOID SERIOUS INJURY OR DEATH Failure to operate this vehicle properly can result in a collision, loss of control, accident or overturn, which may result in serious injury or death. Read and understand all safety information outlined in the safety instructions of this manual.

W-2820-0510

The break-in period for your new Bobcat utility vehicle is the first 50 hours of operation, or the time it takes to use the first two full tanks of fuel.

No single action on your part is as important as a proper break-in period. Careful treatment of a new engine will result in more efficient performance and longer life of the engine. Perform the following procedures carefully.

NOTE: Excessive heat build-up during the first three hours of operation will damage close-fitting engine parts. Do not operate at full throttle or high speed for extended periods of time during the first three hours of use.

W-2873-0510

1. Fill the fuel tank with recommended diesel fuel. (See FUEL SYSTEM on Page 93.)

2. Check the oil level. Add the recommended oil as needed to maintain the oil level in the normal (safe) operating range.

3. Drive slowly at first. Select an area that allows room to familiarize yourself with vehicle operation and handling.

4. Vary the throttle positions. Do not operate at sustained idle.

5. Perform regular checks on fluid levels, controls and areas outlined on the daily inspection checklist. (See DAILY INSPECTION on Page 39.)

6. Pull only light loads.

7. During the break-in period, change both the oil and filter at 50 hours.

8. Inspect and adjust the park brake cable tension after the first 25 hours of operation and every 100 thereafter to ensure proper cable tension. (See PARKING BRAKE SYSTEM on Page 82.)

Clutches / Belt Break-In A proper break-in of the clutches and belt will ensure a longer life and better performance. Break in the clutches and belt by operating at slower speeds during the breakin period as recommended. Pull only light loads. Avoid aggressive acceleration and high speed operation during the break-in period.

Choosing The Correct Attachment

Figure 41 1

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 on the Bobcat utility vehicle.

237

The dealer can identify, for the utility vehicle, the attachments and buckets approved by Bobcat. The buckets and attachments are approved for attachment arm rated capacity and for secure fastening to the RapidLink.

If a pallet fork attachment is used, the load center moves forward and reduces the load capacity.

The maximum load to be carried when using a pallet fork is shown on a decal located on the pallet fork frame (Item 1) [Figure 41].

The attachment arm rated capacity is determined by using a standard bucket and material of normal density, such as dirt or dry gravel. If very dense material is loaded, the volume must be reduced to prevent overloading.

See your Bobcat Dealer for more information about pallet fork inspection, maintenance and replacement. See your Bobcat Dealer for attachment arm rated capacity when using a pallet fork and for other available attachments.

Figure 40 WRONG

Exceeding the arm rated capacity [Figure 40] can cause the following problems: •

Difficult steering.

•

Longer stopping distance.

•

Faster tire wear.

•

Loss of stability.

•

Reduced utility vehicle life.

Use the correct size bucket for the type and density of material being handled. For safe handling of materials and avoiding vehicle damage, the attachment (or bucket) should handle a full load without going over the attachment arm rated capacity for the utility vehicle.

FUEL SYSTEM

Biodiesel Blend Fuel

Fuel Specifications

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

Use only clean, high quality diesel fuel, Grade No. 2 or Grade No. 1.

•

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

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

•

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.

•

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. B5 blended diesel fuel must meet ASTM D975 (US Standard) or EN590 (EU Standard) specifications.

Apply the following guidelines if biodiesel blend fuel is used: •

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.

•

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.

Battery Charging

Battery Maintenance

Conventional Battery 1. Remove the battery from the vehicle to prevent damage from leaking or spilling electrolyte during charging. (See Removing And Installing Battery on Page 108.)

WARNING

2. Charge the battery with a charger output no larger than 1/10 of the battery’s amp/hr rating. Charge as needed to raise the specific gravity to 1.270 or greater.

AVOID INJURY OR DEATH Batteries contain acid which burns eyes and skin on contact. Wear goggles, protective clothing and rubber gloves to keep acid off body.

3. Reinstall the battery.

Sealed Battery

In case of acid contact, wash immediately with water.

In case of eye contact get prompt medical attention and wash eye with clean, cool water for at least 15 minutes.

The following battery charging instructions apply only to the installation of a sealed battery which is the factory installed battery in this model. Read all instructions before preceding with the installation of this battery.

The sealed battery is already filled with electrolyte and has been sealed and fully charged at the factory. Never pry the sealing strip off or add other fluid to this battery.

If electrolyte is taken internally drink large quantities of water or milk! DO NOT induce vomiting. Get prompt medical attention.

The single most important thing about maintaining a sealed battery is to keep it fully charged. Since the battery is sealed and the sealing strip cannot be removed, you must use a voltmeter or multimeter to measure DC voltage.

W-2065-0807

Figure 147

For a refresh charge, follow all the instructions below: 1. Check battery voltage with a voltmeter or a multimeter. A fully charged battery will register 12.8 V or higher.

2. If the voltage is less than 12.8 volts, recharge the battery at 1.3 amps or less until the battery voltage is 12.8 V or higher.

3. When using an automatic charger, refer to the charger manufacture’s instructions for recharging.

When using a constant current charger, use the following guidelines: P-09589

P-09590

Always verify the battery condition before and 1 -2 hours after the end of charging.

Always clean the battery terminals and cable ends when installing a new or used battery [Figure 147].

CHARGE TIME STATE OF VOLTAGE CHARGE

Put grease on the battery terminals and cable ends to prevent corrosion.

Battery Storage Whenever the vehicle is not used for a period of 3 months or more, remove the battery from the vehicle, ensure that the battery is fully charged and stored out of the sun in a cool, dry place. Check battery voltage during storage and recharge as needed to maintain a full charge.

Bobcat recommends maintaining battery charge by using a Bobcat Battery tender charger or by charging about once a month to make up for normal self-discharge. The Battery Tender can be left connected during the storage period, and will automatically charge the battery if the voltage drops below a pre-determined voltage.

Figure 183

1 254 mm (10.0 in) NA5339

NA5337

NOTE: Be sure the steering wheel is straight ahead before determining which tie rod needs adjustment.

1. Turn the steering wheel so it is in the straight ahead position.

2. Place a chalk mark (Item 1) [Figure 183] on the center of the front tires at approximately 254 mm (10 in) up from the floor (or as close to the centerline of the front axle as possible).

If the toe alignment is incorrect, measure the distance between the center of the vehicle and each wheel. This will determine which tie rod needs adjusting [Figure 184].

NOTE: It is important that the height of both marks be equally positioned to get an accurate measurement.

NOTE: During tie rod adjustment, make sure to use a wrench on both the tie rod end and the jam nut. Tie rod end damage could occur if the tie rod end is not held securely while loosening or tightening the tie rod jam nut.

3. Measure the distance between the marks and record this measurement. (We will call this dimension A.)

1. Hold the tie rod end securely and loosen the jam nut.

4. Disengage the parking brake and roll the vehicle ahead until the chalk marks are to the rear of the front tires (approximately at the centerline of the front axle).

Engage the parking brake.

2. Use a wrench on the flat spot on the tie rod and a wrench on the tie rod end. Rotate the tie rod to shorten or lengthen until the alignment is as required to achieve the proper toe setting.

5. Measure the distance between the chalk marks and record the dimension. (We will call this dimension B.)

3. When alignment is correct, hold the tie rod end securely and tighten the jam nut to 16 - 19 Nm (14 16 ft-lb) torque.

6. The difference between dimension A and B is the toe alignment. The recommended toe tolerance is 3,17 6,35 mm (0.125 - 0.25 in) to out. (This means the measurement “A” in front of the tire should be wider than the measurement “B” at the rear of the tire.
