SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
Before Operation
Carefully follow the operating and maintenance
instructions in this manual.
The Bobcat loader is highly maneuverable and compact.
It is rugged and useful under a wide variety of conditions.
This presents an operator with hazards associated with
off motorway, rough terrain applications, common with
Bobcat loader usage.
The Bobcat loader has an internal combustion engine
with resultant heat and exhaust. All exhaust gases can
kill or cause illness so use the Loader with adequate
ventilation.
The dealer explains the capabilities and restrictions of
the Bobcat loader and attachment for each application.
The dealer demonstrates the safe operation according to
Bobcat instructional materials, which are also available to
operators. The dealer can also identify unsafe
modifications or use of unapproved attachments. The
attachments and buckets are designed for a Rated
Operating Capacity (some have restricted lift heights).
They are designed for secure fastening to the Bobcat
loader. The user must check with the dealer, or Bobcat
literature, to determine safe loads of materials of
specified densities for the machine - attachment
combination.
The following publications and training materials provide
information on the safe use and maintenance of the
Bobcat machine and attachments:
• The Delivery Report is used to assure that complete
instructions have been given to the new owner and
that the machine and attachment is in safe operating
condition.
• The Operation & Maintenance Manual delivered with
the machine or attachment gives operating
information as well as routine maintenance and
service procedures. It is a part of the machine and can
be stored in a container provided on the machine.
Replacement Operation & Maintenance Manuals can
be ordered from your Bobcat dealer.
• Machine signs (decals) instruct on the safe operation
and care of your Bobcat machine or attachment. The
signs and their locations are shown in the Operation
& Maintenance Manual. Replacement signs are
available from your Bobcat dealer.
• An Operator’s Handbook is fastened to the operator
cab of the loader. Its brief instructions are convenient
to the operator. See your Bobcat dealer for more
information on translated versions.
The dealer and owner / operator review the
recommended uses of the product when delivered. If the
owner / operator will be using the machine for a different
application(s) he or she must ask the dealer for
recommendations on the new use.
