This presents an operator with hazards associated with off motorway, rough terrain applications, common with Bobcat excavator usage.
• The Bobcat excavator has an internal combustion engine with resultant heat and exhaust. All exhaust gases can kill or cause illness so use the excavator with adequate ventilation. The dealer explains the capabilities and restrictions of the Bobcat excavator 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 Lift Capacity.
• They are designed for secure fastening to the Bobcat excavator. 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 excavator. Its brief instructions are convenient to the operator. See your Bobcat dealer for more information on translated versions.
