RESPONSIBILITY Safety Alert Symbol This symbol with a warning statement means: “Warning, be alert! Your safety is involved! Carefully read the message that follows. Operator must have instructions before running the machine. Untrained operators can cause injury or death. w-2001-1285 IMPORTANT This notice identifies procedures which must be followed to avoid damage to the machi b2019-0284 ‘Warnings on the machine and in the manuals are for your safety. Failure to obey warnings can cause injury or death. we2044-1285 Carefully follow the operating and maintenance instructions in this manual The Bobcat product and attachment must be in good ‘operating condition before use. Check all of the items on the Bobcat Service Schedule Decal under the 8-10 hour column or as shown in the Operation & Maintenance Manual, xi ‘SAFE OPERATION NEEDS A QUALIFIED OPERATOR* “For an operator to be qualified, he must not use drugs or alcoholic drinks which impair his aleriness or coordination while working. An operator who is taking prescription drugs must get medical advice to determine it he can safely operate a machine. A Qualified Operator Must Do The Following: Understand the Written Instructions, Rules and Regulations + The written instructions from Bobcat Company include the Delivery Report, Operation & Maintenance Manual, Operator's Handbook, Safety Manual and machine signs (decals). + Check the rules and regulations at your location. The rules may include an employer's work safety requirements. Regulations may apply to local driving requirements or use of a Slow Moving Vehicle (SMV) ‘emblem. Regulations may identiy a hazard such as a ullity fine, Have Training with Actual Operation * Operator training must consist of a demonstration and verbal instruction. This training is given by your Bobcat dealer before the product is delivered. * The new operator must start in an area without bystanders and use all the controls until he can operate the machine and attachment safely under all conditions of the work area. Always fasten seat belt before operating the loader. Know the Work Conditions + Know the weight of the materials being handled. Avoid exceeding the machine load capacities. Material which is very dense will be heavier than the same volume of less dense material. Reduce the size of load if handling dense material. ‘+ The operator must know any prohibited uses or work areas, for example, he needs to know about excessive slopes. + Know the location of any underground lines. Call local ulities or the TOLL FREE phone number found in the SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS Section of this manual. ‘+ Wear tight fiting clothing. Always wear safety glasses when doing maintenance or service. Safety glasses , hearing protection or special applications kit are required for some work. See your dealer about Bobcat Safety equipment. SIA30-0502 L1213, LT313 Trencher Operation & Maintenance ManualUSE SAFETY RULES Check that the Bob-Tach levers are in the locked position and the wedges are fully engaged into the holes of the attachment, Make sure all the controls (steering levers, foot pedals, mechanical and Advanced Hand Controls) are in the NEUTRAL position before starting the Bobcat loader. Keep your feet on the pedals (or foot rests), seat belt fastened snugly and seat bar lowered when operating the Bobcat loader and attachment. When leaming to operate the attachment, do it at a slow rate in an area clear of bystanders. DO NOT permit personnel to be in the work area when operating the Bobcat loader and attachment, Before leaving the operator's seat, always lower the liftarms fully, engage the brake, stop the engine, raise the seat bar and move the foot pedals and mechanical hand controls (if equipped) until both are locked. DO NOT make any adjustments or repairs on the Bobcat loader or attachment while the engine is running Check for underground lines before digging. Do not modify equipment or add attachments that are ‘not approved by the manufacturer. The attachment must be used ONLY on machines with correct load capacity. xi > ID Call Before You Dig 1-888-258-0808 ‘When you call, you will be directed to a location in your state/city for information about buried lines (telephone, cable TV, water, sewer, gas, etc.). SIAS1-1101 1213, LT313 Trencher Operation & Maintenance ManualFIRE PREVENTION ‘The machines and some attachments 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 ares or sparks. Flammable debris (leaves, straw, etc.) must be removed regularly. If flammable debris is allowed to accurnulate, it can cause a fire hazard. Clean often to avoid this accumulation. Flammable debris in the engine ‘compartment is @ potential fire hazard. ‘The spark arrestor exhaust system (if equipped) is designed to control the emission of hot particles from the engine and exhaust system, but the muffler and the exhaust gases are still ht. + Donot use the machine where exhaust, arcs, sparks ‘or hot components can contact flammable material, explosive dust or gases. + The operator cab, engine compartment and en: cooling system must be inspected every day and cleaned if necessary to prevent fire hazards and overheating. * Check all electrical wiring and connections for damage. Keep the battery terminals clean and tight. Repair or replace any damaged part. * Check fuel and hydraulic tubes, hoses and fitings for damage and leakage. Never use open flame or bare skin to check for leaks. Tighten or replace any parts that show leakage. Always clean fluid spills. Do not use gasoline of diesel fuel for cleaning parts. Use ‘commercial nonflammable solvents. Do not use ether or starting fluids on any engine which has glow plugs. These starting aids can cause ‘explosion and injure you or bystanders. + Always clean the machine, 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. * Stop the engine and let it cool before adding fuel. No smoking! Use the procedure in the Operation & Maintenance Manual for connecting the battery and for jump starting, Use the procedure in the Operation & Maintenance Manual for cleaning the spark arrestor muffler (if equipped). Know where fire extinguishers and first aid kits are located and how to use them. Fire extinguishers are available from your Bobcat dealer.

Be careful when connecting and disconnecting quick couplers. 2220-0906 IMPORTANT Contain and dispose of any oil leakage in an environmentally safe manner. 12086-0395 IMPORTANT Thoroughly clean the quick couplers before making connections. Dirt can quickly damage the system. 2178-0608 New attachments and new machines are factory ‘equipped with flush face couplers. If installing the ‘rencher on a loader equipped with poppet style couplers on either the loader or the trencher, the couplers will have to be changed to match the other. See your Bobcat dealer for parts information. NOTE: Make sure the quick couplers are fully engaged. If the quick couplers do not fully engage, check to see that the couplers are the same size and type. See Page Ol-11 to relieve hydraulic pressure. To Connect Relieve hydraulic pressure. (See Page Ol-11.) Remove any dirt or debris from the surface of both the male and female couplers, and from the outside diameter of the male coupler. Visually check the couplers for corroding, cracking, damage, or excessive wear. If any of these conditions exist, the coupler(s) must be replaced, one Figure O15 Loaders Flush Face Coupler With Locking Collar [Figure O1-15] Install the male coupler into the female coupler. Full ‘connection is made when the ball release sleeve slides forward on the female coupler and the sleeve is rotated so that the locking pins (Item 1) [Figure O15] and the groove (Item 2) [Figure O15] do NOT align (Locked Position). This will prevent accidental disconnection. NOTE: If the locking pins and grooves are aligned tem 3) [Figure OF15], accidental isconnection is possible.
