FIRE PREVENTION
Hydraulic System
Check hydraulic tubes, hoses and fittings for damage
and leakage. Never use open flame or bare skin to check
for leaks. Hydraulic tubes and hoses must be properly
routed and have adequate support and secure clamps.
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.
Maintenance
The machine 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
arcs or sparks.
Fueling
Flammable debris (leaves, straw, etc.) must be removed

regularly. If flammable debris is allowed to accumulate, it
can cause a fire hazard. Clean often to avoid this
accumulation. Flammable debris in the engine
compartment is a potential fire hazard.
The operators area, engine compartment and engine
cooling system must be inspected every day and cleaned
if necessary to prevent fire hazards and overheating.
All fuels, most lubricants and some coolant mixtures are
flammable. Flammable fluids that are leaking or spilled
onto hot surfaces or onto electrical components can
cause a fire.
Ultra Low Sulfur Diesel (ULSD) poses a greater static

ignition hazard than earlier diesel formulations with
higher Sulfur content. Avoid death or serious injury from
fire or explosion. Consult with your fuel or fuel system
supplier to ensure the delivery system is in compliance
with fueling standards for proper grounding and bonding
practices.
Operation
Starting
Do not use the machine where exhaust, arcs, sparks or

hot components can contact flammable material,
explosive dust or gases.
Do not use ether or starting fluids on any engine that has

glow plugs. These starting aids can cause explosion and
injure you or bystanders.
Electrical
Use the procedure in the Operation & Maintenance

Manual for connecting the battery and for jump starting.
Spark Arrester Exhaust System
The spark arrester exhaust system 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.
Check all electrical wiring and connections for damage.

Keep the battery terminals clean and tight. Repair or
replace any damaged part or wires that are loose or
frayed.
Check the spark arrester exhaust system regularly to

make sure it is maintained and working properly. Use the
procedure in the Operation & Maintenance Manual for
cleaning the spark arrester muffler (if equipped).
Battery gas can explode and cause serious injury. Use

the procedure in the Operation & Maintenance Manual
for connecting the battery and for jump starting. Do not
jump start or charge a frozen or damaged battery. Keep
any open flames or sparks away from batteries. Do not
smoke in battery charging area.
Sl ATT-0913
15
17 of 94
Stop the engine and let it cool before adding fuel. No

smoking! Do not refuel a machine near open flames or
sparks. Fill the fuel tank outdoors.
FIRE PREVENTION (CONTD)

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.
Fire Extinguishers
Know where fire extinguishers and first aid kits are

located and how to use them. Inspect the fire
extinguisher and service the fire extinguisher regularly.
Obey the recommendations on the instructions plate.

Slowly tilt the planer forward into the work surface until
both skis are flat on the work surface [Figure 57].
With the loader in motion, adjust the skis to the desired

cutting depth. (See Hydraulic Ski Adjustment on Page
42.)
For optimum planer performance the skis should be

adjusted while the loader is in motion, so the planer drum
bits are making as shallow a cut as necessary to remove
any surface imperfections, stripes or markings on the
work surface.
The planer skis (Item 1) must both be on the work
surface and the stabilizer wheels (Item 2) [Figure 57]
must be off the work surface at all times while the planer
is cutting.
Excessive vibration usually indicates the planer skis are
not properly contacting the work surface. Lower the lift
arms and tilt the planer forward as needed to maintain
constant contact with the work surface.

Cutting Concrete: The recommended cutting depth per

pass should be 12,7 mm (0.5 in) or less to achieve
desired cutting depth make multiple passes.
Cutting Asphalt: The recommended cutting depth per
pass should be 76,2 mm (3 in) or less. The performance
of the planer cutting asphalt will best determine the
cutting depth. The age of the asphalt, the size of the
aggregate and the temperature of the asphalt will all
affect how deep of a cut that can be made, and at what
travel speed.
