BOB-TACH (HAND LEVER)
Inspection And Maintenance
Figure 290
Move the Bob-Tach levers down to engage the wedges
[Figure 290].
The levers and wedges must move freely.
AVOID INJURY OR DEATH
The Bob-Tach wedges must extend through the holes
in the attachment mounting frame. Levers must be
fully down and locked. Failure to secure wedges can
allow attachment to come off.

Figure 291
The wedges (Item 1) [Figure 291] must extend through
the holes in the attachment mounting frame.
The spring loaded wedges (Item 1) must contact the
lower edge of the holes in the attachment mounting
frame (Item 2) [Figure 291].
If the wedges do not contact the lower edge of the holes
[Figure 291], the attachment will be loose and can come
off the Bob-Tach.
Figure 292
Inspect the mounting frame on the attachment and
Bob-Tach, linkages, and wedges for excessive wear or
damage [Figure 292]. Replace any parts that are
damaged, bent, or missing. Keep all fasteners tight.
Look for cracked welds. Contact your Bobcat dealer for
repair or replacement parts.
Lubricate the wedges. (See SERVICE SCHEDULE on
Page 134.) and (See LUBRICATING THE LOADER on
Page 193.)
