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 cause injury or death.
W–2003–0797
The following publications provide information on the safe use and maintenance of the excavator and attachments:
• The Delivery Report is used to assure that complete instructions have been given tothe new owner and that the machine
is in safe operating condition.
• The Operation & Maintenance Manual delivered with the excavator gives operating information as well as routin e
maintenance and service procedures. It is a part of the excavator and must stay with the machine when it is sol d.
Replacement Operation & Maintenance Manuals can be ordered from your Bobcat Excavator dealer.
• The excavator has machine signs (decals) which instruct on the safe operation and care. The signs and their locations
are shown in the Operation & Maintenance Manual. Replacement signs are available from your Bobcat Excavator deale
r.
• The CIMA Safety Manual delivered with the excavator gives information for safe operating and standard signals.
Safety Alert Symbol: This Safety Symbol is used for important safety messages. When you see thi s
symbol follow the safety message to avoid personal injury or death.
• Wear tight fitting clothing. Always wear safety glasses when maintaining or servicing the excavator
. Safety glasses, hear-
ing protection or loader special application kits are required for some work. See your dealer for Melroe Safety equipmen
t.
• Know where fire extinguishers and first aid kits are located and how to use them.
• Do not use the Bobcat excavator where exhaust, arcs, sparks or hot components can contact flammable materia l,
explosive dust or gases.
• The engine compartment and engine cooling system must be inspected every day and cleaned if necessary to prevent
a fire hazard and overheating.
• Check all electrical wiring and connections for damage. Keep the battery terminals clean and tight. Repair or replace an
y
damaged part.
• Check fuel and hydraulic tubes, hoses and fittings for damage and leakage. Never use open flame or bare skin to chec
k
for leaks. Tighten or replace any parts that show leakage. Always clean fluid spills. Do not use gasoline or diesel fuelorf
cleaning parts. Use commercial nonflammable solvents.
• Follow any environmental safety regulations when disposing of used fluids such as engine oil, grease or anti–freeze.
• Do not use ether or starting fluids on an engine that has glow plugs. These starting aids can cause an explosion andreinju
you or bystanders.
• Always clean the excavator and disconnect the battery before doing any welding. Cover rubber hoses, battery and a ll
• Stop the engine and let it cool before adding fuel. No smoking!

Description
There are three relief valves, five port relief valves, one
joystick relief valve and one unloading relief valve in the
hydraulic system.
See hydraulic schematic for relief valve locations.
C Main Relief
Three–Spool Valve
Remove the plug (Item 1) [D] and the spring (Item 2) [D].
Make sure no shims are stuck to the end of the spring.
Add shims (Item 3) [D] to increase pressure or remove 1
shims (Item 3) [D] to decrease the pressure setting.
The following list is the approximate pressure change per PI–12308
shim thickness:
Shim 0.010 inches (0,25 mm) thick (896265) = 75 PSI (517 kPa)
Shim 0.020 inches (0,50 mm) thick (896264) = 200
PSI (1379 kPa) D
Shim 0.040 inches (1,01 mm) thick (896263) = 300 PSI (2069 kPa)
If the low and high pressure recorded (at the pump gauge)
fall within the correct pressure range on all the pump
sections, then the four hoses can be reinstalled onto the CD–13214
control valve. Install the swing motor cover , the rear
floorboard, the seat and the floormat.
If the pressures recorded do not fall within the correct
pressure range, the relief valve(s) must be adjusted, do
the following procedure:
Six Spool Dual Pressure Relief Valve Procedure:
Remove the tube(s) from the relief valve(s) [A].
Plug the tube(s).
NOTE: Adjust the high pressure relief valve(s) first
(if needed) and then adjust the low pressure
relief valve(s).
Install the spring and outer portion of the relief valve [B].
Tighten the outer portion of the relief valve to 20 ft.lbs. (27
Nm) torque.
CD–13214
Readjust and retest the low pressure relief valves until CD–13216
pressure settings are correct. (Per Information on Page
2–7.)
Tighten the jam nut while holding the adjusting screw from B
turning [C].
Install the tube(s) [B].
Install the four hoses onto the control valve.
After all the relief valves have been tested and/or
adjusted, install the swing motor cover , the rear

The cross port relief valve used on the swing motor has
two relief valves (Item 1)[C] mounted on either side of the
valve body. These valves work to dampen the swing stop,

preventing damage to the swing motor. The relief valves
also prevent the upperstructure from independent 1
movement, or creeping, until the swing circuit is engaged.

PROBLEM CAUSE
3. Battery is damaged.
ELECTRICAL SYSTEM
Description
The excavator has a 12 volt, negative ground electrical
system. There are two main circuits.
1. The charging circuit has an alternator (with integral
regulator) and a battery.
2. The starting circuit has a starter motor, solenoid and
ignition switch for starting the engine.
Fuses protect the electrical system from an overload.
The reason for the overload must be found before
starting the engine.

Batteries contain acid which burns eyes and
skin on contact. W ear goggles, protective
clothing and rubber gloves to keep acid off
body.
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.
If electrolyte is taken internally drink large

The tools listed will be needed to do the following
procedure:

Align the pin (Item 1) [D] in the control rack with the slot
in the engine block. D
Remove the injection pump.
Installation: When the injection pump is installed, make
sure the pin (Item 1) [D] on the control rack is correctly
installed on the fork lever. If the slot is not installed
correctly, the engine will run over maximum speed and
serious damage can result.

installed under the injection pump. The
shims are used for engine timing.

You can adjust the release pressure of the injector nozzle
by adding or removing spacer(s) (Item 1)[A] from the top
of the nozzle spring (Item 2) [A].
Each spacer is 0.004 inch (0,10 mm) thick and will change
the release pressure by about 142 PSI (980 kPa). The
release pressure should be 1920–2133 PSI
Nozzle
NOTE: Do not over–tighten, or slow action of the Body
valve will occur.
Needle
Check for internal leakage. Operate the hand lever until Valve
the pressure is almost enough to open the injectorvalve.
Record the pressure. Release the hand lever. check the A–02621
pressure drop for 10 seconds. If the pressure drop more
is
than 740 PSI (5102 kPa), the nozzle is damaged.
