316 Excavator Operation & Maintenance Manual

Manual for connecting the battery and for jump starting.

SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS (CONT’D) Fire Prevention • The machines and some attachments 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.

Use the procedure in the Operation & Maintenance Manual for cleaning the spark arrestor muffler (if equipped).

Figure 1

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 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.

•

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

•

The operator cab, engine compartment and engine cooling system must be inspected every day and cleaned if necessary to prevent fire hazards and overheating.

•

Check all electrical wiring and connections for damage. Keep the battery terminals clean and tight.

Repair or replace any damaged part.

•

Check fuel and hydraulic tubes, hoses and fittings for damage and leakage. Never use open flame or bare skin to check for leaks. 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.

•

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.

•

Always clean the machine, disconnect the battery, and disconnect the wiring from the 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.

•

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

•

•

Know where fire extinguishers and first aid kits are located and how to use them. Fire extinguishers are available from your Bobcat dealer [Figure 1].

OPERATING PROCEDURE (CONT’D)

Operating In Water

Operating On Slopes (Cont’d)

Mud and water should be removed from the machine before parking. In freezing temperatures, park the machine on boards or concrete to prevent the track or undercarriage from freezing to the ground and preventing machine movement.

Figure OI-35 Recommended Position For Working On A Slope

Figure OI-36

MC-1865C

When operating on a slope, level the work area before beginning [Figure OI-35].

P-43181

If this is not possible, the following procedures should be used:

Do not operate or immerse the excavator in water higher than the bottom of the swing circle [Figure OI-36].

Do not work on slopes which are over 15 degrees.

Grease the excavator when it has been operated or immersed in water for a period of time. Greasing forces water out of the lubrication areas.

Use a slow work cycle.

Avoid working with the tracks across the slope. This will reduce stability and increase the tendency for the machine to slide. Position the Excavator with the blade downhill and lowered.

Water must be removed from the cylinder rods. If water freezes to the cylinder rod, the cylinder seals can be damaged when the rod is retracted.

Avoid swinging or extending the bucket more than necessary in a down hill direction. When you must swing the bucket downhill, keep the 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.
