PRE-OPERATION AND DAILY SAFETY CHECKLIST
Each Bobcat vehicle has been thoroughly inspected and adjusted at the factory; however, upon receiving
your new vehicle(s), you should become familiar with its controls, indicators, and operation. Carefully inspect
each vehicle to ensure that it is in proper working condition before accepting delivery.
Use the following checklist as a guide to inspect the vehicle. This checklist should be used daily to ensure that
the vehicle is in proper working condition and in conjunction with the Periodic Service Schedule on page 30.
Any problems should be corrected by a Bobcat dealer or a trained technician.
• General: All the parts should be in place and properly installed. Be sure that all nuts, bolts, and screws
are tight. Check hose clamps for tight fit.
• Safety and information decals: Check to ensure that all safety and information decals are in place.
See pages 4 through 7.
• Roll-over Protective Structure (ROPS): Check to ensure the ROPS is not damaged and all hardware
is secure. See Roll-over Protective Structure (ROPS) and Safety Belts on page 17.
• Safety belts: Visually inspect for cuts, fraying, and loose parts. See Roll-over Protective Structure
(ROPS) and Safety Belts on page 17.
• Tires: Check for proper tire pressure. Visually inspect tires for wear, damage, and proper inflation on a
daily basis. See Vehicle Specifications on page 48.
• Battery: Check electrolyte to ensure it is at the proper level (Figure 38, Page 45). Check battery posts.
Wires should be tight and free of corrosion and battery should be fully charged.
• Engine: Check for proper engine oil and coolant levels (diesel vehicles) and leaks. See Engine Oil on
page 35 and Engine Coolant – Diesel Vehicles on page 41. Check air filter and replace if necessary.
• Fuel: Check fuel level. See Fueling Instructions on page 43. Check fuel tank, lines, fuel cap, pump,
fuel filters, and carburetor (gasoline vehicles) for fuel leakage. Drain water from the fuel filter (diesel
vehicle). See Draining Water from Fuel Filter on page 44.
• Exhaust system: Check for leaks.
• Hydraulic brakes: Check fluid level. See Brake Fluid Reservoir on page 34.
