FPOREWORD:

• This Operation & Maintenance Manual was written to give the owner/operator instructions on the safe operation and maintenance of the Bobcat loader.
• READ AND UNDERSTAND THIS OPERATION & MAINTENANCE MANUAL BEFORE OPERATING YOUR LOADER. If you have any questions, see your Bobcat loader dealer

SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS:

SAFETY IS THE OPERATOR’S RESPONSIBILITY:

• The Skid Steer Loader 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 off highway, rough terrain applications but not unique for use of Bobcat loaders.
• The loader has an internal combustion engine with resultant heat and exhaust. All exhaust gases can kill so the loader must be used with adequate ventilation. The loader must not be used in an area with explosive dusts or gases or so that the engine exhaust can contact flammable material.
• The loader has a spark arrestor muffler which is required for operation in certain areas. The dealer recommends the capabilities of the loader and attachments for each application. The dealer demonstrates the safe operation of the loader 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 loader. For each model loader, the user must check with the dealer or manufacturer’s literature to identify each bucket or attachment for safe loads of materials of specified densities.

The following publications provide information on the safe use and maintenance of the loader and attachments:

• The Delivery Report is used to check whether complete instructions have been given to the new owner.• The Operation & Maintenance Manual delivered with the loader gives operating information as well as routine maintenance and service procedures. It is a part of the loader and must stay with the machine when it is sold.• Every loader has machine signs (or decals) which instruct on the safe care and operation of the loader. The complete signs and their location are shown in the Operation & Maintenance Manual. All signs are available from your Bobcat loader dealer.• The loader has a plastic Operator Handbook fastened to the operator cab. It has brief instructions always available to the operator. The handbook is available from your Bobcat dealer in an English edition or a combination English, French, German Spanish edition.• The EMI Safety Manual (available in Spanish) delivered with the loader gives general safety information.• The Service Manual and Parts Manual are optional manuals available from your Bobcat dealer for use by mechanics to do shop–type service and repair.• The Bobcat Skid–Steer Loader Safety Video is available from your Bobcat Dealer.
