Bobcat 2200 Diesel Vehicle
7 Operation & Maintenance Manual
CONTROLS AND INDICATORS (CONT’D)
Fuel Gauge/Hour Meter
The fuel gauge and hour meter (7) are housed together
at the left side of the instrument panel [Figure 2]. The
fuel gauge operates when the key switch is in the ON
position, and allows the operator to monitor the fuel level
in the vehicle. The hour meter operates only when the
engine is running, and should be used by the trained
technician to track vehicle usage and determine when
periodic service procedures are required. See PERIODIC
SERVICE SCHEDULE on page 24.
Headlight control
The headlight control (5) is located on the left side of the
instrument panel below the fuel gauge/hour meter
[Figure 2]. Pull the headlight control knob out to turn
headlights on and push the knob in to turn headlights off.
NOTE: Using the headlights for extended periods of
time without the engine running, or with the
engine idling, will discharge the battery.
Steering Adjustment Lock
The steering wheel on the Bobcat 2200 vehicle is
adjustable. To adjust the steering wheel, press down on
the steering adjustment lock lever (4), then move the
steering wheel to the desired position [Figure 2]. While
holding the steering wheel in the desired position, pull up
on the steering adjustment lock lever to firmly lock the
steering column in position.
WARNING
• Ensure that the steering wheel lock is fully
engaged prior to operating the vehicle.
Electric Bed Lift
Vehicles with Electric Bed Lift Option
The electric bed lift switch (10) is located on the
instrument panel to the right of the key switch [Figure 2].
To lift the bed, pull up and hold the toggle switch (10) in
the upper position. Release switch to stop lifting
operation. To close the bed, press down and hold switch
in the lower position. The bed lift will make a loud clicking
sound to signal the bed is in the rest position.
High-Temperature Warning LIght
The high-temperature warning light is located on the
instrument panel below the low oil warning light. The
diesel engine is liquid-cooled; if the engine coolant has
exceeded its normal safe operating temperature, the
warning lamp will illuminate. If the warning light comes
on, stop the vehicle and allow it to idle for approximately
five minutes before stopping the engine. Contact a
Bobcat dealer or a trained technician.
WARNING
• Allow the engine to cool before servicing the
engine coolant system. Engine coolant can
cause severe burns.
