773 BICS Loader


Revised June 01 v Service Manual
FIRE PREVENTION
The loader has several components that are at high temperature 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.
Flammable debris (leaves, straw, etc.) must be removed regularly. If flammable debris is allowed to accumulate, it will increase
the fire hazard. The loader must be cleaned as often as necessary to avoid this accumulation. Flammable debris in the engine
compartment is a fire hazard when the loader is parked with a hot engine.
The spark arrestor muffler 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.
• Do not use the Bobcat loader where exhaust, arcs, sparks or hot components can contact flammable material, explosive
dust or gases.
• The engine compartment and engine cooling system must be inspected every day and cleaned if necessary to prevent fire
hazard 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 fittings 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 or diesel fuel for
cleaning parts. Use commercial nonflammable solvents.
• Do not use ether or starting fluids on this engine. It has glow plugs. These starting aids can cause explosion and injure you
or bystanders.
• Always clean the loader and disconnect the battery before doing any welding. Cover rubber hoses, battery and all other
flammable parts. Keep a fire extinguisher near the loader 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.
• Use the procedure in the Operation & Maintenance Manual for cleaning the spark arrestor muffler.
• Know where fire extinguishers and first aid kits are located and how to use them.

A fire extinguisher is available from your Bobcat dealer. The fire extinguisher can be installed in the location shown [A].

Replenishing Valve Function


The functions of the replenishing valves are:
1. To give replacement fluid to the low pressure side
of the hydrostatic circuit. Replacement fluid is
needed because of normal internal leakage and
the controlled flow to the oil cooler for cooling;
Function 1 [A].
2. To keep high pressure fluid out of the low pressure
side of the hydrostatic circuitry; Function 2 [A].

starter has been overheated.
Inspect the pinion teeth for wear and damage.
Armature Short–Circuit Test: Use a growler tester, put the
armature on the growler and hold a hack saw blade
against the armature core while slowly rotating the
armature [A]. A short circuited armature causes the blade
to vibrate and be attracted to the core. An armature which
is short–circuited must be replaced.

2. Check for debris under and around seat.
3. Look for any obstruction around seat.
4. Check to make sure seat rail lowers when weight is in seat.
5. Raise cab and check for magnet collar movement when weight is added to seat.
(Magnet collar should extend approximately 3/8’’ beyond the sensor assembly
with weight in the seat).
6. Use sensor tester to check operation of sensor and controller. Follow instructions
on tester.
7. Check to make sure the magnet guide pin is in place.
8. Check for contamination on magnets such as metal particles or for shipping plate
over magnets.
9. Check to make sure both magnets are in collar.
10. Check for binding of magnet collar or bushing with hex head on other side for
binding.
11. Check for correct mounting. One spring for standard seat. Two springs for
suspension seats. Thick washers should be under front seat mounting rails on
both sides.
12. Check for loose hardware mounting magnet collar. Check to make sure the
magnet collar bushing is threaded on all the way so it is contacting seat rail.
13. Check to make sure seat rail raises when weight is removed from the seat.
14. Raise cab and check for magnet collar movement when weight is removed from
seat. (Magnet collar should extend approximately 1/8 inch beyond the sensor
assembly without weight in seat.)
15. With smaller operators that operate with the seat forward some mounting
alterations may be required. (See solution suggestions 16, 17 and 18.)
16. Adjust suspension seat to lightest weight setting.
17. Check to make sure the seat rails move up and down freely when weight is added.
18. Add washer between the bushing the magnet collar assembly slides on and the
seat rail. This will reduce the amount of seat travel required to activate the system.
Must check, with seat moved all the way back, that indicator light does not stay
on with operator out of seat. If light does not go out with operator out of the seat,
the washer must be removed.

HYDRAULIC/HYDROSTATIC FLUID SPECIFICATIONS
Specifications
Use Bobcat 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
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

When 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 than 60 seconds.

During cold weather 32°F (0°C) and


below, do not operate machine until
the engine has run for at least five (5)
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. 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.

TROUBLESHOOTING (AHC)
Chart
The Advance Hand Control System (AHC) has a built–in diagnostic function which uses the two lights on the left handle
to indicate the condition of the AHC System. The left light is lift and the right light is tilt.
The control module continually checks the system in the order listed. The checks start with the lift handle controller and
then the lift actuator. If no problems are present, it will then check the tilt handle controller and the tilt actuator. The system
will stop its check at the first problem and then flash the code. If the problem is in the tilt controller or actuator, the lift indicator
light will be ON and the tilt light flashing a code.
The system starts its diagnostics and calibration when the ignition key is turned ON. The left light will be ON for 0.5 second
and remain ON, then both lights will be ON for another 0.5 second. (This indicates the handles are wired properly and both
lights are working.)
LOADER WITH PRESS TO OPERATE BUTTON–At this time one of the following will happen:
1. Both lights will be OFF until the PRESS TO OPERATE BUTTON is engaged. (Normal Operation.)
2. The System goes into a flashing code. (See chart below for the problem.)
The following list shows the probable causes and troubleshooting procedures when the lights are flashing.
The system will continually flash the code signal with the key in the RUN position.

NUMBER PROBLEM CAUSE SOLUTION


OF FLASHES (Page 10–5 )

1 Handle not calibrated Handle controller not in neutral during start–up. 1


Mechanical handle controller malfunction. 4

3 Handle Control Wiring Fault Disconnected connector or wire. 2

Electrical handle controller problem. 6
4 Actuator Wiring Fault Disconnected connector or wire. 2
Broken wire. 3
Faulty actuator. 2,4,7
*5 Actuator Fault Faulty actuator. –

*Actuator fault (5 flashes) will only occur while the loader is in operation. The controller sensed the
actuator was out of sync with the hand controller unit. Normally this is caused from dust build up in the
actuator motor, which causes a poor connection at the motor brush. This fault will cause a loss of
power to the actuators. When the loader control unit is reset (The loader key is turned to the OFF
position then back to the ON position) you will not get an actuator fault (5 flashes), the system will reset
and say the system is OK or signal an alarm (2 or 4 flashes). When actuator faults (5 flashes) alarm
becomes more frequent replace the actuator.

SOLUTION

1. Turn the key OFF, put the hand controller in neutral position, turn the key ON. (The engine
does not have to be running for system recalibration or diagnostics).
2. Check wire connections for loose connector body, loose or bent pins in connectors.
3. Check for broken or damaged wire.
4. Check for stuck or sticky handle controller mechanism.
5. Turn the key OFF check to ensure spool moves freely, returns to neutral, turn the key ON.
6. Check the signal voltage from the handle controller unit. (See Page 10–10)
7. Check the signal voltage from the lift or tilt spool actuator. (See Page 10–8)
8. Check to insure the actuator moves freely on the actuator mounting bolt.

NOTE: If during operation one or both indicator light(s) goes out, this represents a reduced performance state.
This is caused by the actuator not being able to reach (full stroke) as commanded by the handle controller.
When the handle controller is returned to neutral and the actuator reaches neutral, the condition will clear
itself and the light will come back ON. Reduced speed in the lift or tilt circuits may be noticed. This will
not disable the loader, but may be an indication that an actuator is going bad.
When the wrong BICS™ controller, (Black face instead of Green face) is installed in an Advanced Hand
Control loader, and the key is turned to the ON position, the left light will come on for 0.5 seconds and
remain ON, then both lights will stay ON for an additional 0.5 seconds, then both lights will go out with
no flashing code, because there is no signal from the BICS to the control module. The BICS™ controller
lights will be ON, but the Advanced Hand Controller will not allow the loader hydraulics to function.
