SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS (CONT’D)
The dealer and owner / operator review the

recommended uses of the product when delivered. If the
owner / operator will be using the machine for a different
application(s) he or she must ask the dealer for
recommendations on the new use.
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.

FIRE PREVENTION (CONT’D)
Welding And Grinding
Always clean the machine and attachment, disconnect

the battery, and disconnect the wiring from the Bobcat
controllers before welding. Cover rubber hoses, battery
and all other flammable parts. Keep a fire extinguisher
near the machine 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.
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.

Related Notes:
The meter will display the voltage difference between the
negative test point and the positive test point. The ohmmeter actually measures the current which flows
from the negative to positive test probes. The current
source is the battery in the multimeter. This is important
to know when checking diodes. A diode will show a very
small or zero resistance when connected in one direction
and a very high or infinite resistance when connected in
the other direction. If the resistance is the same in both
directions, the diode is defective.
When using an ohmmeter for checking the continuity of a

wire harness, connect one probe to one end and the
other probe to the other end. The meter should display a
very small amount of resistance, usually less than one
ohm. If the wire is broken or has a bad contact to a
connector or splice, the resistance reading will be much
higher or infinite. If the wire passes this test, but you think
it may be shorted to another wire or ground, place one of
the probes to each of other connector pins in the harness
and check that the resistance is infinite to each of the
other wires. Any lower resistance value indicates a short
or other contact between the wires.

Connector Maintenance
When using the service code troubleshooting procedure,

reference is made to connectors J1-J4. Refer to the
connector layout diagram (See Identification Chart on
Page 20-30-1) that explains wire numbers and wire
location on the connector plug.
Figure 20-40-1
N-19275
When cleaning connectors that have corrosion or

moisture problems, use a fast drying, ozone-safe contact
cleaner. For best results, use a cleaning brush with
stainless steel bristles to remove corrosion [Figure 20-

Melroe extension lead (MEL1568-3) is used when taking

ohmmeter or continuity readings between sensors/
senders and Bobcat controller connectors [Figure 20-40-

sensor/sender connectors or into the Bobcat controller
connectors, whichever is preferred.
NOTE: NEVER ATTEMPT TO INSERT PROBE OF
