Choosing The Correct Bucket
AVOID INJURY OR DEATH
Never use attachments or buckets which are not
approved by Bobcat Company. Buckets and
attachments for safe loads of specified densities are
approved for each model. Unapproved attachments
can cause injury or death.
W-2052-0907
NOTE: Warranty is void if non-approved attachments
are used on the Bobcat loader.
The dealer can identify, for each model loader, the
attachments and buckets approved by Bobcat. The
buckets and attachments are approved for Rated
Operating Capacity (ROC) and for secure fastening to the
Bob-Tach.
The ROC for this loader is shown on a decal in the
o
perator cab. (See Performance on Page 197.)
The ROC is determined by using a bucket and material of
no
rmal density, such as dirt or dry gravel. If longer
buckets are used, the load center moves forward and
reduces the ROC. If very dense material is loaded, the
volume must be reduced to prevent overloading.
Figure 124
Exceeding the ROC [Figure 124] can cause the following
problems:
• Steering the loader may be difficult.
•
Tires will wear faster.
• There will be a loss of stability.
• The life of the Bobcat loader will be reduced.
Use the correct bucket size for the type and density of
ma
terial being handled. For safe handling of materials
and avoiding machine damage, the attachment (or
bucket) should handle a full load without going over the
ROC for the loader. Partial loads make steering more
difficult.
Pallet Fork
Figur
e 125
The maximum load to be carried when using a pallet fork
is sho
wn on a decal located on the pallet fork frame (Item
1) [Figure 125].
See your Bobcat dealer for more information about pallet
f
ork inspection, maintenance and replacement. See your
Bobcat dealer for ROC when using a pallet fork and for
other available attachments.
AVOID INJURY OR DEATH
Do not exceed Rated Operating Capacity (ROC).
Excessive load can cause tipping or loss of control.
