FOREWORD

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

SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
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 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 co- ordination 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 the 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, Safety Manual and machine signs (decals).
• Check the rules and regulations at your location. The rules may include an employer’s work safety requirements. For driving on public roads, the machine must be equipped as stipulated by the local regulations authorising operation on public roads in your specific country. 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.
  Know the Work Conditions 

• Know the weight of the materials being handled. Avoid exceeding the machine load capacities. Material which is very dense will be heavier than the same volume of less dense material. Reduce the size of 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.
• Wear tight fitting clothing. Always wear safety glasses when doing maintenance or service. Safety glasses, respiratory equipment, hearing protection, Special Applications Kits or a Front Window Guard are required for some work. See your Bobcat dealer about Bobcat Safety equipment for your machine.

SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS (CONT’D)
Use Safety Rules

• • Read and follow instructions in the machine and the attachment’s Operation & Maintenance Manual before operating.
• Check for underground lines before operating attachment (if applicable).
• In addition to the design and configuration of equipment, hazard control and accident prevention are dependent upon the awareness, concern, prudence and proper training of personnel involved in the operation, transport, maintenance and storage of equipment.
• Check that the Bob-Tach™ levers are in the locked position and the wedges are fully engaged into the holes of the attachment (if applicable).
• Check that the attachment is securely fastened to the machine.
• Make sure all the machine controls are in the NEUTRAL position before starting the machine.
• Operate the attachment only from the operator’s position.
• Operate the attachment according to the Operation & Maintenance Manual.
• When learning to operate the attachment, do it at a slow rate in an area clear of bystanders.
• DO NOT permit personnel to be in the work area when operating the machine and attachment.
• The attachment must be used ONLY on approved machines. See your Bobcat dealer for updated list of approved attachments for each machine model.
• DO NOT modify equipment or add attachments that are not approved by the manufacturer.
• DO NOT make any adjustments or repairs on the machine or attachment while the engine is running.
• Keep shields and guards in place. Replace if damaged.
