Bobcat 2200 Diesel Vehicle
17 Operation & Maintenance Manual
TRANSPORTING ON A TRAILER
WARNING
• Do not allow riders in the trailer being towed.
• Avoid sudden starts, sudden stops, and tight
turns when towing.
• Avoid stopping on a hill when towing. If you must
stop on a hill, avoid sudden starts, or rolling
backwards and stopping suddenly. Failure to
heed this warning could cause the vehicle to
overturn, possibly resulting in severe personal
injury.
• Reduce normal driving speed when transporting
a vehicle on a trailer.
• For use on public roads, the trailer must meet all
federal, state, and local requirements such as
taillights, brake lights, etc.
• Never tow a Bobcat vehicle behind a passenger
vehicle or truck on a public road unless it is on an
approved trailer.
• The vehicle to be transported should be tied
securely to the trailer, with the Forward/Reverse
handle in the NEUTRAL position, the key switch
in the OFF position, and the park brake firmly
engaged.
• Because of the added length of the trailer, use
caution when making turns.
• Do not transport the vehicle on a trailer with a
load in the vehicle cargo bed.
• Remove the vehicle windshield and secure seats
before transporting on a trailer.
If the vehicle must be transported over long distances or
on public highways, it should be transported on an
approved trailer that has an approved load rating of
908 kg per vehicle being transported.
NOTE: A two-car trailer should be rated at
2 x 908 kg = 1816 kg.
STORAGE
See GENERAL WARNINGS on page 7.
DANGER
• Do not attempt to drain fuel when the engine is
hot or while it is running.

open flames, heaters, or heat sources.
• Keep fuel out of the reach of children.
• Do not siphon fuel from the vehicle.
WARNING
• Turn the key switch to the OFF position, remove
the key, and leave the Forward/Reverse handle in
the NEUTRAL position during storage. This is to
prevent unintentionally starting the vehicle or a
