FIRE PREVENTION

SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS (CONT’D) Equipment Modifications Bobcat strongly recommends that operator’s do not install on the Bobcat Utility Vehicle, any equipment that may increase the speed or power of the vehicle, or make any other modifications to the vehicle for these purposes. Any modifications to the original equipment of the utility vehicle create a substantial safety hazard and increase the risk of bodily injuries.

Maintenance The utility vehicle and some attachments and accessories have components that are at high temperatures under normal operating conditions. The primary source of high temperatures is the engine and exhaust system. The electrical system, if damaged or incorrectly maintained, can be a source of arcs or sparks.

The warranty on your Bobcat Utility Vehicle is terminated if any equipment has been added to the vehicle, or if any modifications have been made to the vehicle, that increases speed or power.

Flammable debris (leaves, straw, etc.) must be removed regularly. If flammable debris is allowed to accumulate, it can cause a fire hazard. Clean often to avoid this accumulation. Flammable debris in the engine compartment is a potential fire hazard.

Avoid Silica Dust

The operator’s area, engine compartment and engine cooling system must be inspected every day and cleaned if necessary to prevent fire hazards and overheating. All fuels, most lubricants and some coolants mixtures are flammable. Flammable fluids that are leaking or spilled onto hot surfaces or onto electrical components can cause a fire.

Cutting or drilling concrete containing sand or rock containing quartz may result in exposure to silica dust. Do not exceed Permissible Exposure Limits (PEL) to silica dust as determined by OSHA or other job site Rules and Regulations. Use a respirator, water spray or other means to control dust. Silica dust can cause lung disease and is known to the state of California to cause cancer.

Operation Do not use the utility vehicle where exhaust, arcs, sparks or hot components can contact flammable material, explosive dust or gases. Do not park this vehicle near open flames or pilot lights. Electrical

Check all electrical wiring and connections for damage. Keep the battery terminals clean and tight. Repair or replace any damaged part or wires that are loose or frayed. Battery gas can explode and cause serious injury. Use the procedure in the Operation & Maintenance Manual for connecting the battery and for jump starting. Do not jump start or charge a frozen or damaged battery. Keep any open flames or sparks away from batteries. Do not smoke in battery charging area.

SI UVD-0610

3400, 3400XL Operation & Maintenance Manual

FIRE PREVENTION (CONT’D)

Welding And Grinding

Fueling

Always clean the utility vehicle attachments and accessories, disconnect the battery, and disconnect the wiring from the Bobcat controllers before welding. Cover fuel tank, rubber hoses, battery and all other flammable parts. Keep a fire extinguisher near the utility vehicle when welding. Have good ventilation when grinding or welding painted parts. Wear dust mask when grinding painted parts. Toxic dust or gas can be produced.

Stop the engine and let it cool before adding fuel. No smoking! Do not refuel a utility vehicle near open flames or sparks. Fill the fuel tank outdoors.

Dust generated from repairing nonmetallic parts such as hoods, fenders or covers can be flammable or explosive. Repair such components in a well ventilated area away from open flames or sparks.

Starting Do not use ether or starting fluids on any engine that has glow plugs. These starting aids can cause explosion and injure you or bystanders.

Fire Extinguishers

Use the procedure in the Operation & Maintenance Manual for connecting the battery and for jump starting.

Spark Arrestor Exhaust System The spark arrestor exhaust system is designed to control the emission of hot particles from the engine and exhaust system, but the muffler and the exhaust gases are still hot. Know where fire extinguishers and first aid kits are located and how to use them. Inspect the fire extinguisher and service the fire extinguisher regularly. Obey the recommendations on the instructions plate.

Check the spark arrestor exhaust system regularly to make sure it is maintained and working properly. Use the procedure in the Operation & Maintenance Manual for cleaning the spark arrestor muffler

AVOID SERIOUS INJURY OR DEATH Failure to handle diesel fuel properly can result in a fire which may result in serious injury or death. • Always exercise extreme caution whenever handling diesel fuel. • Always stop the engine when refueling. • Always refuel outdoors or in a well ventilated area. • Remove flammable material containers from the box before filling them with fuel. • Do not smoke or allow open flames or sparks in or near the area where refueling is performed or where diesel fuel is stored. • Do not overfill the tank. Do not fill the tank neck. • If diesel fuel spills on your skin or clothing, immediately wash it off with soap and water and change clothing. • Store diesel fuel in an approved container only. Store in a well-ventilated area away from sparks, open flames, heaters, or heat sources • Keep diesel fuel out of the reach of children. • To avoid the possibility of fire, clean up any spilled fuel before operating the vehicle.

AVOID SERIOUS INJURY OR DEATH Failure to operate this vehicle properly can result in a collision, loss of control, accident or overturn, which may result in serious injury or death. Read and understand all safety information outlined in the safety instructions of this manual. W-2820-0510

The break-in period for your new Bobcat utility vehicle is the first 50 hours of operation, or the time it takes to use the first two full tanks of fuel. No single action on your part is as important as a proper break-in period. Careful treatment of a new engine will result in more efficient performance and longer life of the engine. Perform the following procedures carefully. NOTE: Excessive heat build-up during the first three hours of operation will damage close-fitting engine parts. Do not operate at full throttle or high speed for extended periods of time during the first three hours of use.

W-2873-0510

1. Fill the fuel tank with recommended diesel fuel. (See FUEL SYSTEM on Page 81.) 2. Check the oil level. Add the recommended oil as needed to maintain the oil level in the normal (safe) operating range. 3. Drive slowly at first. Select an area that allows room to familiarize yourself with vehicle operation and handling. 4. Vary the throttle positions. Do not operate at sustained idle. 5. Perform regular checks on fluid levels, controls and areas outlined on the daily inspection checklist. (See DAILY INSPECTION on Page 37.) 6. Pull only light loads. 7. During the break-in period, change both the oil and filter at 50 hours. 8. Inspect and adjust the park brake cable tension after the first 25 hours of operation and every 100 thereafter to ensure proper cable tension. (See PARKING BRAKE SYSTEM on Page 70.) Clutches / Belt Break-In A proper break-in of the clutches and belt will ensure a longer life and better performance. Break in the clutches and belt by operating at slower speeds during the breakin period as recommended. Pull only light loads. Avoid aggressive acceleration and high speed operation during the break-in period.

OPERATING PROCEDURE (CONT’D) Towing Equipment With The Utility Vehicle Towing improperly can alter the vehicle handling and may cause loss of control or brake instability. Always follow these precautions when towing: Figure 48

P-97406

•

Never exceed trailer hitch tongue weight - 68 kg (150 lb).

•

Do not operate the vehicle faster than 16 km/h (10 mph) when towing. Towing the trailer increases braking distance

•

Do not tow more than the recommended weight for the vehicle. (See Vehicle Load Capacities (Model 3400) on Page 44.) or (See Vehicle Load Capacities (Model 3400XL) on Page 45.)

•

Attach a trailer to the trailer hitch receiver (Item 1) [Figure 48] only. Do not attach to any other location or you may loose control of the vehicle.

•

Never tow a trailer on a slope steeper than 15°.

•

Avoid sudden starts, sudden stops, and tight turns when towing. Slow down when driving on wet, slippery or rough terrains.

•

Avoid stopping on a slope when towing.

•

Always park towed equipment on level ground.

•

Make sure the coupler is of adequate capacity for the load being towed.

OPERATING PROCEDURE (CONT’D)

Disengaging The Four Wheel Drive (4x4)

Drive Mode Switch

To disengage Four Wheel Drive (4x4); press the switch to the center position (2WD - with rear Differential Lock) or the bottom position (Turf - with Differential Unlock). If Four Wheel Drive (4x4) is turned OFF while the front hubs are driving, they will not release until the rear wheels regain traction.

Engaging The Four Wheel Drive (4x4) Figure 49

2WD (Differential Locked)

In some situations, the front gear case may remain locked after disengaging the Four Wheel Drive (4x4) switch. If this occurs, you may notice increased steering effort and some vehicle speed restriction. Perform the following procedure to unlock the front gear case:

Turf (Differential Unlocked) 2 Wheel Drive

1. Stop the vehicle.

4x4(4WD)

2. Operate in reverse for at least 3 m (10 ft). 3. Stop completely.

4. Shift into low gear and drive forward. To engage Four Wheel Drive (4x4); press the top of the switch (Item 1) [Figure 49]. The amber 4x4 light will be illuminated when engaged.

5. If the front gear case remains locked after following these instructions, see your Bobcat dealer for service.

When Four Wheel Drive (4x4) is engaged, the front wheels will automatically engage any time the rear wheels lose traction. When the rear wheels regain traction, the front wheels will automatically disengage and will remain disengaged until rear wheels again lose traction and the front wheels will again automatically reengage. There is no limit to the length of time the vehicle may remain in Four Wheel Drive (4x4). NOTE: The Four Wheel Drive (4x4) switch may be turned ON or OFF while the vehicle is moving. Engage the Four Wheel Drive (4x4) before getting into conditions where the four wheel drive may be needed. If the rear wheels are spinning, release the throttle before switching to Four Wheel Drive (4x4).

IMPORTANT Switching to Four Wheel Drive (4x4) while the rear wheels do not have traction may cause severe drive shaft and clutch damage. Always switch to Four Wheel Drive (4x4) while the rear wheels have traction or are stopped. I-2296-0510

SEAT BELT Inspection And Maintenance

WARNING

Failure to properly inspect and maintain the seat belt can cause lack of operator restraint resulting in serious injury or death. W-2466-0703

Check the seat belt daily for correct function.

Inspect the seat belt system thoroughly yearly or more often if the utility vehicle is exposed to severe environmental conditions or applications. The seat belt system should be repaired or replaced if it shows cuts, fraying, extreme or unusual wear, significant discolorations due to ultraviolet (UV) rays from the sun, dusty / dirty conditions, abrasion to the seat belt webbing, or damage to the buckle, latch plate, retractor (if equipped), and hardware.

B-22283A

The items below are referenced in [Figure 55]. 1. Check the webbing. If the system is equipped with a retractor, pull the webbing completely out and inspect the full length of the webbing. Look for cuts, wear, fraying, dirt and stiffness. 2. Check the buckle and latch for proper function. Make sure latch plate is not excessively worn or deformed and buckle is not damaged. 3. Check the retractor web storage device (if equipped) by extending the seat belt webbing to determine if it extends and retracts the webbing correctly. 4. Check webbing in areas exposed to ultraviolet (UV) rays from the sun or extreme dust or dirt. If the original color of the webbing in these areas is extremely faded and / or the webbing is packed with dirt, the webbing strength may have weakened. See your Bobcat dealer for approved seat belt system replacement parts for your utility vehicle.

The brake system requires regular inspection and maintenance. See the SERVICE SCHEDULE for intervals. (See SERVICE SCHEDULE on Page 66.)

The brake fluid level needs to be between the minimum and maximum fluid level lines [Figure 63].

The front and rear brakes are hydraulic disc type brakes activated by the brake pedal.

Figure 64

Inspection And Maintenance Brake Fluid

WARNING AVOID INJURY OR DEATH After opening a bottle of brake fluid, always discard any unused portion. Never store or use a partial bottle. Brake fluid is hygroscopic, meaning it rapidly absorbs moisture from the air. The moisture causes the boiling temperature of the brake fluid to drop, which can lead to early brake fade and the possibility of accident or severe injury.

P-97289

W-2872-0510

To add brake fluid, remove the front cover. (See FRONT COVER on Page 109.)

Check and change the brake fluid as scheduled. See the SERVICE SCHEDULE for intervals. (See SERVICE SCHEDULE on Page 66.) See your Bobcat dealer for changing brake fluid.

Clean the area around master cylinder cap (Item 1) [Figure 64] thoroughly to avoid any contamination from getting into the brake fluid reservoir when removing the cap.

NOTE: Change the brake fluid any time the fluid becomes contaminated, the fluid level is below the minimum, or any time the type and brand of brake fluid in the reservoir is unknown. Always use DOT 4 brake fluid in the utility vehicle.

Do Not overfill the brake fluid reservoir. Remove the master cylinder cap (Item 1) [Figure 64] and use a clean, long neck funnel to add NEW brake fluid to the master cylinder until it is at the maximum fluid line.

Figure 63 Replace the cap as soon as the brake fluid has been added. Apply the brakes forcefully for a few seconds and then check the brake fluid leakage around all of the brake fittings.

FUEL SYSTEM

Biodiesel Blend Fuel

Fuel Specifications

Biodiesel blend fuel has unique qualities that should be considered before using in this machine:

Use only clean, high quality diesel fuel, Grade No. 2 or Grade No. 1.

•

Cold weather conditions can lead to plugged fuel system components and hard starting.

The following is one suggested blending guideline which should prevent fuel gelling during cold temperatures:

•

Biodiesel blend fuel is an excellent medium for microbial growth and contamination which can cause corrosion and plugging of fuel system components.

•

Use of biodiesel blend fuel may result in premature failure of fuel system components, such as plugged fuel filters and deteriorated fuel lines.

•

Shorter maintenance intervals may be required, such as cleaning the fuel system and replacing fuel filters and fuel lines.

•

Using biodiesel blended fuels containing more than five percent biodiesel can affect engine life and cause deterioration of hoses, tubelines, injectors, injector pump and seals.

The following fuels may be used in this machine: •

Low Sulfur (500 ppm sulfur) Diesel Fuel.

•

Ultra Low Sulfur (15 ppm sulfur) Diesel Fuel.

•

Biodiesel Blend Fuel - Must contain no more than five percent biodiesel mixed with low sulfur or ultra low sulfur petroleum based diesel. This is commonly marketed as B5 blended diesel fuel. B5 blended diesel fuel must meet ASTM D975 (US Standard) or EN590 (EU Standard) specifications.

Apply the following guidelines if biodiesel blend fuel is used: •

Ensure the fuel tank is as full as possible at all times to prevent moisture from collecting in the fuel tank.

•

Ensure that the fuel tank cap is securely tightened.

•

Biodiesel blend fuel can damage painted surfaces, remove all spilled fuel from painted surfaces immediately.

•

Drain all water from the fuel filter daily before operating the machine.

•

Do not exceed engine oil change interval. Extended oil change intervals can cause engine damage.

•

Battery Charging

Battery Maintenance

Conventional Battery 1. Remove the battery from the vehicle to prevent damage from leaking or spilling electrolyte during charging. (See Removing And Installing Battery on Page 96.)

WARNING

2. Charge the battery with a charger output no larger than 1/10 of the battery’s amp/hr rating. Charge as needed to raise the specific gravity to 1.270 or greater.

AVOID INJURY OR DEATH Batteries contain acid which burns eyes and skin on contact. Wear goggles, protective clothing and rubber gloves to keep acid off body.

3. Reinstall the battery. Sealed Battery

In case of acid contact, wash immediately with water. In case of eye contact get prompt medical attention and wash eye with clean, cool water for at least 15 minutes.

The following battery charging instructions apply only to the installation of a sealed battery which is the factory installed battery in this model. Read all instructions before preceding with the installation of this battery.

If electrolyte is taken internally drink large quantities of water or milk! DO NOT induce vomiting. Get prompt medical attention.

The sealed battery is already filled with electrolyte and has been sealed and fully charged at the factory. Never pry the sealing strip off or add other fluid to this battery.

W-2065-0807

The single most important thing about maintaining a sealed battery is to keep it fully charged. Since the battery is sealed and the sealing strip cannot be removed, you must use a voltmeter or multimeter to measure DC voltage.

Figure 114

For a refresh charge, follow all the instructions below: 1. Check battery voltage with a voltmeter or a multimeter. A fully charged battery will register 12.8 V or higher. 2. If the voltage is less than 12.8 volts, recharge the battery at 1.3 amps or less until the battery voltage is 12.8 V or higher.

P-09589

3. When using an automatic charger, refer to the charger manufacture’s instructions for recharging. When using a constant current charger, use the following guidelines:

P-09590

Always verify the battery condition before and 1 -2 hours after the end of charging.

Always clean the battery terminals and cable ends when installing a new or used battery [Figure 114].

CHARGE TIME

Put grease on the battery terminals and cable ends to prevent corrosion.

STATE OF VOLTAGE CHARGE

ACTION

Battery Storage Whenever the vehicle is not used for a period of 3 months or more, remove the battery from the vehicle, ensure that the battery is fully charged and stored out of the sun in a cool, dry place. Check battery voltage during storage and recharge as needed to maintain a full charge. Bobcat recommends maintaining battery charge by using a Bobcat Battery tender charger or by charging about once a month to make up for normal self-discharge. The Battery Tender can be left connected during the storage period, and will automatically charge the battery if the voltage drops below a pre-determined voltage.

DRIVE BELT (CONT’D)

Belt Inspection

Installation

Inspect the belt for hourglass (extreme circular wear in at least one spot and on one side of the belt). Hour glassing occurs when the drive train does not move and the drive clutch engages on the belt.

Figure 144

Inspect belt for loose cords, missing cogs, cracks, abrasion, thin spots, pr excessive wear. Compare belt measurements with a new belt. Replace as needed. Belts with thin spots, burn marks, etc. should be replaced to eliminate noise, vibration, or erratic CVT operation. Figure 146

1 P-97454

NOTE: Do not allow the belt to be twisted or turned inside out. This damages the internal belt cords and may cause the belt to flip (invert) during usage. If this happens, the belt must be replaced. If installing the existing belt, make sure it is being installed in the correct rotation direction.

If installing a new belt, install the belt so the numbers on the belt are readable when installed.

P-97450

Loop the belt over the drive clutch and over the top of the driven clutch [Figure 144].

Make sure the belt can be rotated by hand and that the drive clutch is fully open and the driven clutch is in the closed position.

Figure 145

To check belt deflection (stretch), place a straight edge (Item 1) over the top of the belt. Press down in the center of the belt until lightly tensioned and measure (Item 2) [Figure 146] the belt deflection. The correct deflection is 29 - 32 mm (1.12 - 1.25 in).

If the belt deflection is out of range, install a new belt. NOTE: The drive and driven clutches are not adjustable for belt tension. The belt must be replaced when belt deflection is above recommended range. P-97452

Install the belt and driven clutch [Figure 145]. Install the bolt (Item 1) [Figure 145]. Tighten the driven sheave bolt to 18 N•m (13 ft-lb) torque Reinstall the CVT cover. Installation: Tighten the bolts to 5 - 5,6 N•m (45 - 50 in-lb) torque. 112

WHEEL TOE ALIGNMENT

Toe Adjustment

Inspection

Figure 148

The wheel toe alignment requires regular inspection and maintenance. (See SERVICE SCHEDULE on Page 66.) Stop the machine on a flat level surface. Engage the parking brake and stop the engine. Figure 147

1 254 mm (10.0 in) NA5215

NA5216

NOTE: Be sure the steering wheel is straight ahead before determining which tie rod needs adjustment.

1. Turn the steering wheel so it is in the straight ahead position. 2. Place a chalk mark (Item 1) [Figure 147] on the center of the front tires at approximately 254 mm (10 in) up from the floor (or as close to the centerline of the front axle as possible).

If the toe alignment is incorrect, measure the distance between the center of the vehicle and each wheel. This will determine which tie rod needs adjusting [Figure 148].

NOTE: It is important that the height of both marks be equally positioned to get an accurate measurement.

NOTE: During tie rod adjustment, make sure to use a wrench on both the tie rod end and the jam nut. Tie rod end damage could occur if the tie rod end is not held securely while loosening or tightening the tie rod jam nut.

3. Measure the distance between the marks and record this measurement. (We will call this dimension A.)

1. Hold the tie rod end securely and loosen the jam nut.

4. Disengage the parking brake and roll the vehicle ahead until the chalk marks are to the rear of the front tires (approximately at the centerline of the front axle). Engage the parking brake.

2. Use a wrench on the flat spot on the tie rod and a wrench on the tie rod end. Rotate the tie rod to shorten or lengthen until the alignment is as required to achieve the proper toe setting.

5. Measure the distance between the chalk marks and record the dimension. (We will call this dimension B.)

3. When alignment is correct, hold the tie rod end securely and tighten the jam nut to 16 - 19 N•m (14 16 ft-lb) torque.

6. The difference between dimension A and B is the toe alignment. The recommended toe tolerance is 3,17 6,35 mm (0.125 - 0.25 in) to out. (This means the measurement “A” in front of the tire should be wider than the measurement “B” at the rear of the tire.

Toe Out
