MAINTENANCE SAFETY Never service the Bobcat Compact Excavator without instructions. Have good ventilation when welding or grinding painted parts. Wear dust mask when grinding painted parts. Toxic dust and gas can be produced. Stop, cool and clean engine of flammable materials before checking fluids. Never service or adjust machine with the engine running unless instructed to do so in the manual. Avoid contact with leaking hydraulic fluid or diesel fuel under pressure. It can penetrate the skin or eyes. Never fill fuel tank with engine running, while smoking, or when near open flame. Always lower the bucket and blade to the ground before doing any maintenance. Never modify equipment or add attachments not approved by Bobcat Company. Keep body, jewelry and clothing away from moving parts, electrical contact, hot parts and exhaust. Wear eye protection to guard from battery acid, compressed springs, fluids under pressure and flying debris when engines are running or tools are used. Use eye protections approved for type of welding. Keep tailgate closed except for service. Close and latch tailgate before operating the excavator. Vent exhaust to outside when engine must be run for service. Exhaust system must be tightly sealed. Exhaust fumes can kill without warning. Cleaning and maintenance are required daily. MSW28-0805 Use the correct procedure to lift and support the excavator. Lead-acid batteries produce flammable and explosive gases. Keep arcs, sparks, flames and lighted tobacco away from batteries. Batteries contain acid which burns eyes or skin on contact. Wear protective clothing. If acid contacts body, flush well with water. For eye contact flush well and get immediate medical attention.
