SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
SAFETY IS THE OPERATOR’S RESPONSIBILITY
- The Bobcat Hydraulic Excavator is a highly maneuverable and compact machine. In operation, it is rugged and useful under
a wide variety of conditions. This presents an operator with hazards which are common for off highway, rough terrain
applications but not unique for use of Bobcat Hydraulic Excavator. The excavator has an internal combustion engine withresultant heat and exhaust. All exhaust gases can kill or cause illness so the excavator must be used with adequate
ventilation. The excavator must not be used in an area with explosive dusts or gases or so that the engine exhaust can
contact flammable material. Some excavators maybe equipped with a spark arrestor muffler which is required for operation
in certain areas.
The dealer recommends the capabilities of the excavator and attachments for each application. The dealer demonstrates
the safe operation of the excavator according to the manufacturer’s instructional materials which are also available to all
operators. The dealer can also identify unsafe modifications or use of unapproved attachments. The attachments and
buckets are designed for rated capacity and secure fastening to the Bobcat Hydraulic Excavator. The user must check with
the dealer or Melroe Company literature or load diagram to identify safe loads
