Installing
Pull the Bob-Tach levers all the way up (Item 1) [Figure
109].
Enter the loader and perform the PRE-STARTING
PROCEDURE. (See PRE-STARTING PROCEDURE on
Page 73.)
Start the engine, press the PRESS TO OPERATE
LOADER button and release the parking brake.
Lower the lift arms and tilt the Bob-Tach forward.
Drive the loader forward until the top edge of the Bob-
Tach is completely under the top flange of the bucket
[Figure 109] (or other attachment). Be sure the Bob-
Tach levers do not hit the bucket.
Figure 110
Tilt the Bob-Tach backward until the cutting edge of the
bucket (or other attachment) is slightly off the ground to
ensure the mounting frame is tight to the Bob-Tach
[Figure 110].
Stop the engine and exit the loader. (See STOPPING
THE ENGINE AND LEAVING THE LOADER on Page
84.)
AVOID INJURY OR DEATH
Before you leave the operator’s seat:
• Lower the lift arms and put the attachment flat on
the ground.
• Stop the engine.
• Engage the parking brake.
• Raise the seat bar.
• Move all controls to the NEUTRAL / LOCKED
position to make sure the lift, tilt and traction
drive functions are deactivated.
The seat bar system must deactivate these functions
when the seat bar is up. See your Bobcat dealer for
service if controls do not deactivate.
