Installing And Removing The Attachment (Hand Lever Bob-Tach)
The Bob-Tach is used for fast changing of buckets and attachments. See the appropriate attachment Operation &
Maintenance Manual to install other attachments.
Installing
Figure 124
Pull the Bob-Tach levers up until they are fully raised
(wedges fully raised) (Item 1) [Figure 124].
Enter the loader and perform the PRE-STARTING
PROCEDURE. (See PRE-STARTING PROCEDURE on
Page 94.)
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 slowly forward until the top edge of the
Bob-Tach is completely under the top flange of the bucket
mounting frame [Figure 124] (or other attachment).
NOTE: Be sure the Bob-Tach levers do not hit the
attachment.
Figure 125
Tilt the Bob-Tach backward until the cutting edge of the
bucket (or other attachment) is slightly off the ground
[Figure 125]. This procedure will cause the bucket
mounting frame to fit up against the front of the
Bob-Tach.
Stop the engine and exit the loader. (See STOPPING
THE ENGINE AND LEAVING THE LOADER on Page
106.)
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.
