FIRE PREVENTION (CONT’D)
Welding And Grinding
Always clean the machine and attachment, disconnect

the battery, and disconnect the wiring from the Bobcat
controllers before welding. Cover rubber hoses, battery
and all other flammable parts. Keep a fire extinguisher
near the machine when welding.
Have good ventilation when grinding or welding painted

parts. Wear dust mask when grinding painted parts.
Toxic dust or gas can be produced.
Dust generated from repairing non-metallic parts such as

hoods, fenders or covers can be flammable or explosive.
Repair such components in a well ventilated area away
from open flames or sparks.
Fire Extinguishers
Know where fire extinguishers and first aid kits are

located and how to use them. Inspect the fire
extinguisher and service the fire extinguisher regularly.
Obey the recommendations on the instructions plate.

NOTE: * When using the HB980 breaker on A770,

S630, S650, S740, S770, T650, and T770 model
loaders, the breaker must be equipped with a
diverter valve kit. See your Bobcat dealer for
available kits.
NOTE: ** Loader models S130 and T140 must be

equipped with a 725S backhoe when using the

To Connect:
Remove any dirt or debris from the surface of both the

male and female couplers, and from the outside diameter
of the male coupler. Visually check the couplers for
corroding, cracking, damage, or excessive wear. If any of
these conditions exist, the coupler(s) must be replaced
[Figure 128], [Figure 129] or [Figure 130].
Install the male coupler into the female coupler. Full

connection is made when the ball release sleeve slides
forward on the female coupler [Figure 128], [Figure 129]

NOTE: With experience, the operator will become

more effective at breaking.
• Break off small pieces to prevent damage to the

equipment from falling material.
• Keep the tool perpendicular to the work surface.
• Apply penetrating force by raising the front of the

loader slightly off the ground.
• Apply penetrating force for no more than 15 seconds.
• Move the tool to a different location whenever the tool

penetrates but does not crack the material.

Loading And Fastening
WARNING
AVOID SERIOUS INJURY OR DEATH
Adequately designed ramps of sufficient strength are
needed to support the weight of the machine when
loading onto a transport vehicle. Wood ramps can
break and cause personal injury.
W-2058-0807
Be sure the transport and towing vehicles are of

adequate size and capacity for weight of machine and
attachment combination. (See machine and attachment
Operation & Maintenance Manuals for specifications.)
Loading
The rear of the trailer must be blocked or supported when

loading and unloading to prevent the front of the trailer
from raising.
• Load the heaviest end of the machine and attachment

combination first.
• Lower the attachment to the floor.
• Engage the parking brake (if equipped).
• Exit the machine. (See the machine’s Operation &

Fastening
Install the chains at the front and rear tie-down positions

on the machine. (See the machine’s Operation &
Maintenance Manual to properly chain the machine to
the transport vehicle.)
• Install chains on the attachment (if needed).
• Fasten each end of the chain to the transport vehicle.
NOTE: Use chain binders to prevent the attachment

and machine from moving during transport.

Never service attachments / implements without

instructions. See Operation & Maintenance Manual and
Attachment / Implement Service Manual.
Cleaning and maintenance are required daily.
Never service or adjust attachment / implement with the

engine running unless instructed to do so in manual.
Always lower the attachment / implement to the ground

before lubricating or servicing.
Avoid contact with leaking hydraulic fluid or diesel fuel

under pressure. It can penetrate skin or eyes.
Stop, cool and clean engine of flammable materials before

checking fluids.
Keep body, loose objects and clothing away from moving

parts, electrical contacts, hot parts and exhaust.
Safety glasses are needed for eye protection from electrical

arcs, battery acid, compressed springs, fluids under
pressure and flying debris or when tools are used. Use eye
protection approved for type of welding.
Maintenance procedures which are given in the Operation & Maintenance Manual can be performed by the owner/operator
without any specific technical training. Maintenance procedures which are not in the Operation & Maintenance Manual must be
performed ONLY BY QUALIFIED BOBCAT SERVICE PERSONNEL. Always use genuine Bobcat replacement parts.

NOTE: Do not use an electric or pneumatic grease

gun. Over greasing may damage the seal.
NOTE: Failure to push the tool up inside the breaker

before greasing may cause seal damage.
Push the tool in as far as possible. Apply grease (5 - 6

pumps) at the grease fitting (Item 1) [Figure 382].

ATTACHMENT STORAGE AND RETURN TO SERVICE If the breaker is stored in a highly corrosive environment,

Storage the breaker as recommended above if the storage period
is over thirty days.
Sometimes it may be necessary to store your Bobcat
attachment for an extended period of time. Below is a list If the breaker must be stored in the horizontal position,

Return To Service
• Inspect the Bob-Tach wedge mounts, mounting flange
and all welds on the attachment for wear and damage. After the Bobcat attachment has been in storage, it is
necessary to follow a list of items to return the

• Replace worn or damaged parts.
• Lubricate the attachment.

removing the attachment from the machine.
Always relieve the hydraulic pressure when

disconnecting the breaker from the machine. Plug the
breaker hydraulic ports when in storage. If equipped with
hoses, install caps on the hoses. If equipped with
couplers, connect the couplers together to keep them
clean.
If storing for six months or longer, remove the tool and

thoroughly grease the piston and lower bushing to
prevent corrosion. Reinstall the tool and store the breaker
in the vertical position, with the tool installed into a
holding fixture. The weight of the breaker on the tool
retracts the piston which reduces the possibility of piston
corrosion. Storing vertical prevents any side loading of
the piston seal and increases the seal service life. Check
the nitrogen charge before using the breaker.
