MAINTENANCE
See GENERAL WARNINGS on page 7.
To ensure trouble-free vehicle performance, follow an
established preventive maintenance program. Regular
and consistent maintenance can prevent vehicle
downtime and expensive repairs. Use the on page 11
and the following Periodic Service Schedule and Periodic
Lubrication Schedule to keep the vehicle in proper
working condition.
Any vehicle not functioning correctly should not be used
until it is properly repaired. This will prevent further
damage to the vehicle and avoid the possibility of injury
due to unsafe conditions.
Contact your local Bobcat dealer for repairs and
semiannual and annual periodic service.
WARNING
• Only trained technicians should service or repair
the vehicle. Anyone doing even simple repairs or
service should have knowledge and experience
in electrical and mechanical repair. The
appropriate instructions must be used when
performing maintenance, service, or accessory
installation.
• If any problems are found during scheduled
inspection or service, do not operate vehicle until
repairs are made. Failure to make necessary
repairs could result in fire, property damage,
severe personal injury, or death.
• Do not wear loose clothing or jewelry, such as
rings, watches, chains, etc., when servicing
vehicle.
• Turn key switch to the OFF position, remove the
key, place the Forward/Reverse handle in the
NEUTRAL position and chock the wheels prior to
servicing.
• Moving parts: Do not attempt to service vehicle
while engine is running.
• Hot! Do not attempt to service hot engine or
exhaust system. Failure to heed this warning
could result in severe burns.
• For vehicles with cargo beds, remove all cargo
before raising the bed or servicing the vehicle. If
the vehicle is equipped with a prop rod, ensure
that it is securely engaged. Do not close bed until
all persons are clear of cargo bed area. Keep
hands clear of all crush areas. Do not drop cargo
bed; lower gently and keep entire body clear.
Failure to heed this warning could result in
severe personal injury or death.
• Do not work on vehicle powertrain or under cargo
bed when it is loaded.
• To help avoid unintentionally starting the vehicle:
- Disconnect battery cables, negative (–) cable
first [Figure 1, Page 6].
• If wires are removed or replaced make sure
wiring and wire harness are properly routed and
secured. Failure to properly route and secure
wiring could result in vehicle malfunction,
property damage, personal injury, or death.
• Lift only one end of the vehicle at a time. Use a
suitable lifting device (chain hoist or hydraulic
floor jack) with 454 kg minimum lifting capacity.
Do not use lifting device to hold vehicle in raised
position. Use approved jack stands of proper
weight capacity to support the vehicle and chock
the wheels that remain on the floor.
• When servicing the vehicle with part of the
vehicle on jack stands, do not operate the engine
with the Forward/Reverse handle in either the
FORWARD or REVERSE position. The all-wheel
