CORRECT
Never service the Bobcat Skid-
Steer Loader without instructions.
Have good ventilation when
welding or grinding painted
parts.
Wear dust mask when grinding

can kill without warning. Exhaust
system must be tightly sealed.
Stop, cool and clean engine of
flammable materials before
checking fluids.
Never service or adjust loader
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.
Disconnecting or loosening any
hydraulic tubeline, hose, fitting,
component or a part failure can
cause lift arms to drop. Do not go
under lift arms when raised
unless supported by an approved
lift arm support device. Replace it
if damaged.
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 protection approved for
type of welding.
Keep rear door closed except for
service. Close and latch door
before operating the loader.
Never work on loader with lift
arms up unless lift arms are held
by an approved lift arm support
device. Replace if damaged.
Never modify equipment or add
attachments not approved by
Bobcat Company.
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.
Use the correct procedure to lift or
lower operator cab.
Cleaning and maintenance are
