FOREWORD

This Operation & Maintenance Manual was written to give the owner / operator instructions on the safe operation and maintenance of the Bobcat utility vehicle. READ AND UNDERSTAND THIS OPERATION & MAINTENANCE MANUAL BEFORE OPERATING YOUR BOBCAT UTILITY VEHICLE. If you have any questions, see your Bobcat dealer. This manual may illustrate options and accessories not installed on your Bobcat utility vehicle.

SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
Before Operation

• Carefully follow the operating and maintenance instructions in this manual. The Bobcat utility work machine 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 utility work machine 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 explains the capabilities and restrictions of the Bobcat utility work machine and attachment 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.
• The attachments and buckets are designed for a Rated Operating Capacity (some have restricted lift heights). 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 machine – attachment combination.

The following publications and training materials provide information on the safe use and maintenance of the Bobcat machine and attachments:

• • The Delivery Report is used to assure that complete instructions have been given to the new owner and that the machine and attachment is in safe operating condition.
• The Operation & Maintenance Manual delivered with the machine or attachment gives operating information as well as routine maintenance and service procedures. It is a part of the machine and can be stored in a container provided on the machine. Replacement Operation & Maintenance Manuals can be ordered from your Bobcat dealer.
• Machine signs (decals) instruct on the safe operation and care of your Bobcat machine or attachment. The signs and their locations are shown in the Operation & Maintenance Manual. Replacement signs are available from your Bobcat dealer.
• An Operator’s Handbook is fastened to the operator cab of the machine. It’s brief instructions are convenient to the operator. The handbook is available from your dealer in an English edition or one of many other languages. See your Bobcat dealer for more information on translated versions.
• The Toolcat Utility Work Machine Operating Training Course is available through your Bobcat dealer. This course is intended to provide rules and practices of correct operation of the Toolcat utility work machine. The course is available in English and Spanish versions.

SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS (CONT’D)
Safe Operation Is The Operator’s Responsibility

Operator must have instructions before operating the machine. Untrained operators can cause injury or death

IMPORTANT
This notice identifies procedures which must be followed to avoid damage to the machine

The Bobcat utility work machine and attachment must be in good operating condition before use. Check all of the items on the Bobcat Service Schedule Decal under the 8-10 hour column or as shown in the Operation & Maintenance Manual.

Safe Operation Needs A Qualified Operator

For an operator to be qualified, he or she must not use drugs or alcoholic drinks which impair alertness or coordination while working. An operator who is taking prescription drugs must get medical advice to determine if he or she can safely operate a machine and attachment

A Qualified Operator Must Do The Following: Understand the Written Instructions, Rules and Regulations

• The written instructions from Bobcat Company include the Delivery Report, Operation & Maintenance Manual, Operator’s Handbook and machine signs (decals).
• Check the rules and regulations at your location. The rules may include an employer’s work safety requirements. Regulations may apply to local driving requirements or use of a Slow Moving Vehicle (SMV) emblem. Regulations may identify a hazard such as a utility line.

Have Training with Actual Operation

• Operator training must consist of a demonstration and verbal instruction. This training is given by your Bobcat dealer before the product is delivered.
• The new operator must start in an area without bystanders and use all the controls until he or she can operate the machine and attachment safely under all conditions of the work area. Always fasten seat belt before operating.
• Operator Training Courses are available from your Bobcat dealer in English and Spanish. They provide information for safe and efficient equipment operation. Safety videos are also available.

Know the Work Conditions

•  Know the weight of the materials being handled. Avoid exceeding the Rated Machine Load Capacities of the machine. Material which is very dense will be heavier than the same volume of less dense material. Reduce the size of the load if handling dense material.
• The operator must know any prohibited uses or work areas, for example, he or she needs to know about excessive slopes.
• Know the location of any underground lines. Call local utilities or the TOLL FREE phone number found in the Before Operation section of this manual.
• Wear tight fitting clothing. Always wear safety glasses when doing maintenance or service. Safety glasses, respiratory equipment, hearing protection or Special Applications Kits are required for some work. See your Bobcat dealer about Bobcat safety equipment for your model.
