The Bobcat loader has an operator cab (ROPS and
FOPS) as standard equipment to protect the operator
from rollover and falling objects. Check with your dealer
if the operator cab has be damaged.
Never modify operator cab by welding,

grinding, drilling holes or adding attachments
unless instructed to do so by Melroe Company.
Changes to the cab can cause loss of operator
protection from rollover and falling objects,
and result in injury or death.

OPERATOR CAB (Cont’d)
Raising the Operator Cab
A
Stop the loader on a level surface. Lower the lift arms. If
the lift arms must be up while raising the operator cab,
install the lift arm support device (Page 1–4).
Before the cab or the lift arms are raised for

service, jackstands must be put under the rear CD–11451
corners of the frame. Failure to use jackstands
can allow the machine to tip backward causing
injury or death.

Accidental movement of the loader, the lift
arms or the attachment can occur if the lift or
tilt control handles are not positioned
correctly before lifting or lowering the cab. CD–11452

SEAT BAR RESTRAINT SYSTEM
Description P–00660
The seat bar restraint system has a pivoting seat bar with
arm rests and has spring loaded interlocks for the lift and tilt
control pedals. The operator controls the use of the seat bar. B
The seat bar in the down position helps to keep the operator
in the seat. The interlocks require the operator to lower the
seat bar in order to operate the foot pedal controls. When
the seat bar is up, the lift and tilt pedals are locked when
returned to the neutral position.

The seat bar system must lock the lift and tilt B–13915
control pedals in neutral when the seat bar is
up. Service the system if pedals do not lock
correctly. W–2105–1285 C
Seat Bar Inspection
Sit in the seat and fasten the seat belt. Engage the
parking brake. Pull the seat bar all the way down. Start
the engine, activate the lift arm operation button. Operate
each foot pedal to check both the lift and tilt functions.
Raise the lift arms until the bucket is about 2 feet (600
mm) off the ground.
Raise the seat bar. Try to move each foot pedal. Pedals
must be firmly locked in neutral position. There must be
no motion of the lift arms or tilt (bucket) when the pedals
are pushed.
Pull the seat bar down, activate the lift arm operation P–03269 P–03270
button, lower the lift arms and place the bucket flat on the
ground. Stop the engine. Raise the seat bar and operate
the foot pedals to be sure that the pedals are firmly locked
in the neutral position. Unbuckle the seat belt. D
Seat Bar Maintenance
Pedal Lock
See the Service Schedule (Page 1–1) and on the loader Shield
for correct service interval.
Clean any debris or dirt from the moving parts [C] & [D].
Inspect the linkage bolts and nuts for tightness. The Clean
correct torque is 25–28 ft.–lbs. (34–38 Nm).
If the seat bar system does not function correctly, check
for free movement of each linkage part. Check for
excessive wear [C]. Adjust pedal control linkage.
Replace parts that are worn or damaged. Use only
genuine Melroe replacement parts. P–01640

LUBRICATION OF THE BOBCAT LOADER
A
Procedure
Lubricate the loader as specified in the SERVICE
SCHEDULE Page 1–1 for the best performance of the
loader.
Always use a good quality lithium based multi–purpose
grease when you lubricate the loader. Apply the lubricant 1
until extra grease shows.
Lubricate the following locations on the loader:
1. Stabilizer Rod (both sides) [A].

REMOTE START SWITCH
A
Procedure
The tool listed will be needed to do the following
procedure:
MEL–1398 – Remote Start Switch
The Remote Start Switch assembly is required when the
operator cab is in the raised position for service and the
technician needs to start the engine. The operator cab
wire harness connectors must be separated from the
engine wiring harness connector under the cab.
Connect the remote start switch to these connectors [A].
CD–09029
This remote start switch is required when the technician
is adjusting the steering linkage or checking the
hydraulic/hydrostatic system.

ELECTRICAL SYSTEM INFORMATION
Description
The loader has a 12 volt, negative ground electrical system.
There are two main circuits.
1. The charging circuit has an alternator (with built–in

regulator) and a battery.
2. The starting circuit has glow plugs, starter motor and

solenoid for starting the engine.
See your dealer for optional equipment. P–02862
Standard Loader: The electrical system is protected by two

fuses in the instrument panel [A].
B
BOSS Option: The electrical system is protected by two fuses
in the engine area wiring harness [B].
Fuses protect the electrical system from an overload.
TROUBLESHOOTING
The following troubleshooting chart is provided for assistance
in locating and correcting problems which are most common.
Many of the recommended procedures must be done by
authorized Bobcat Service Personnel only.
CD–10367
Instructions are necessary before operating or

servicing machine. Read Operation &
Maintenance Manual, Handbook and signs
(decals) on machine. Follow warnings and
instructions in the manuals when making
repairs, adjustments or servicing. Check for
correct function after adjustments, repairs or
service. Failure to follow instructions can

procedure:
MEL–1237 – Adapter Fuel Line
MEL–1173–1 – Pressure Gauge
To check the discharge pressure at the fuel injection
pump, use the following procedure:
Disconnect a high pressure fuel line from the injection
pump. Loosen the other end of the same fuel line so it can
be turned away from the fitting.
Connect the adapter fuel line (Item 1) to the fitting and
connect the pressure gauge (Item 2) [A].
Turn the flywheel to increase the pressure. If the pressure
can not reach the allowable limit of 2133 PSI (14707 kPa),
replace the injection pump assembly.
Measure the time needed to decrease the pressure from
2133 PSI to 1990 PSI (14707 kPa to 13721 kPa). If the
measurement is less than the allowable limit of 5
seconds, replace the delivery valve. B

If the standard size bearing cannot be employed due to 2
excessive wear of the crankpin and crank journal use
undersize or oversize bearings.
For undersize or oversize bearing use, follow the
precautions noted below.
Grind the crankpin and journal with a wheel which has
specified round corner and width without shoulder [A].
1. 0.13–0.15” (3,3–3,7 mm) 2
2. 0.11–0.13” (2,8–3,2 mm) 5
3. Be sure to chamfer the oil hole circumference to 4
0.04–0.06” (1,0–1,5 mm) radius with an oil stone.
4. The crankpin must be fine–finished to higher than PI–10026
(0,4–5).
5. The crank journal must be fine–finished to higher
than (0,4–5).
6. The crank journal side surface must be fine–finished
to higher than (1,6–5).

HYDRAULIC/HYDROSTATIC FLUID SPECIFICATIONS
Specifications
Use Melroe hydraulic/hydrostatic transmission fluid (P/N 6563328). If this fluid is not
available, use 10W–30 or 10W–40 SAE Motor Oil (5W–30 for 0° F [–18° C] and
Below).
DO NOT use automatic transmission fluids in the loader or permanent damage to the
transmission will result.
Diesel fuel or hydraulic fluid under

pressure can penetrate skin or eyes,
causing serious injury or death.
Fluid leaks under pressure may not
be visible. Use a piece of cardboard
WARNING or wood to find leaks. Do not use
your bare hand. Wear safety goggles.
If fluid enters skin or eyes, get
immediate medical attention from a
physician familiar with this injury.
W–2072–0496
Where temperatures below zero degree F. (–18° C) are common, the loader must
be kept in a warm building. Extra warm–up time must be used each time the loader
is started during cold temperature conditions. Cold fluid will not flow easily and it
makes action of the hydraulic function slower. Loss of fluid flow to the hydrostatic
transmission pump (indicated by “TRANS” light “ON”) can cause transmission
damage in less then 60 seconds.
During cold weather (32°F [0°C] and

below), do not operate machine until
the engine has run for at least five
minutes at less than half throttle.
This warm–up period is necessary
for foot pedal operation and safe
stopping. Do not operate controls
during warm–up period.
WARNING When temperatures are below –20°F
(–30°C), the hydrostatic oil must be
heated or kept warm. The hydrostatic
system will not get enough oil at low
temperatures. Park the machine in an
area where the temperature will be
above 0°F (–18°C) if possible.
