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.

COUNTERWEIGHTS Accessories That Affect Machine Weight
Description If your loader is already equipped with accessories like

Over Tyre Steel Tracks, Water Tanks or Rear Stabilisers,
Counterweights can be installed on the loader. See your installing counterweights may not be necessary.
Bobcat dealer for information about approved loader
counterweights and configurations for your job See your Bobcat dealer for more information about the
application and attachment. proper use of counterweights with your attachments and
accessories.
Effect On The Loader And Loader Operation
Proper operation of the loader and attachment does not

change if counterweights are installed on this loader.
Always follow the instructions provided in this manual
when operating your loader with counterweights installed.
Counterweights installed on your loader can affect the

loader and its operation in some applications. Some
examples are:
• Increased machine weight.
• Increased Rated Operating Capacity (ROC).
• Harder steering.
• Accelerated or uneven tyre wear.
• Increased power consumption.
When To Consider Using Counterweights
Install counterweights to increase the loaders Rated

Operating Capacity (ROC) which could improve
attachment performance in some applications. Some
examples are:
• Using pallet fork with palletized loads.
• Using grapples or bale fork.
• Using buckets to handle loose material without

digging.
When To Consider Removing Counterweights
Remove counterweights to increase the downward force

of the attachment for better attachment performance in
some applications. Some examples are:
• Digging with buckets.
• Using Hydraulic Breakers, Scrapers or Landplanes.

ATTACHMENTS Use the correct bucket size for the type and density of
material being handled. For safe handling of materials
Choosing The Correct Bucket 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.

SEAT BELT Figure 178
Inspection And Maintenance 1
WARNING 3
Failure to properly inspect and maintain the seat belt

can cause lack of operator restraint resulting in
serious injury or death.
W-2466-0703
Check the seat belt daily for correct function. 2 4
Inspect the seat belt system thoroughly at least once

each year or more often if the machine is exposed to
severe environmental conditions or applications.
Any seat belt system that shows cuts, fraying, extreme or

unusual wear, significant discolourations due to
ultraviolet UV exposure, dusty / dirty conditions, abrasion
to the seat belt webbing, or damage to the buckle, latch
plate, retractor (if equipped), hardware or any other
obvious problem should be replaced immediately.
B-22283
The items below are referenced in [Figure 178].
1. Check the webbing. If the system is equipped with a

retractor, pull the webbing completely out and inspect
the full length of the webbing. Look for cuts, wear,
fraying, dirt and stiffness.
2. Check the buckle and latch for correct operation.

Make sure latch plate is not excessively worn,
deformed or buckle is not damaged or casing broken.
3. Check the retractor web storage device (if equipped)

by extending webbing to determine if it looks correct
and that it spools out and retracts webbing correctly.
4. Check webbing in areas exposed to ultraviolet (UV)

rays from the sun or extreme dust or dirt. If the original
colour of the webbing in these areas is extremely
faded and / or the webbing is packed with dirt, the
webbing strength may have deteriorated.
