Bobcat Company is ISO 9001 certified
ISO 9001 is a set of international standards that control the processes and procedures which we use to design, develop,
manufacture, distribute, and service Bobcat products.

British Standards Institute (BSI) is the Certified Registrar Bobcat Company chose to assess the Company’s compliance
with the ISO 9001 set of standards. The BSI registration certifies that the two Bobcat Company manufacturing plants
and the Bobcat Company corporate offices (Gwinner, Bismarck & West Fargo) in North Dakota are in compliance with
ISO 9001. Only certified assessors, like BSI, can grant registrations. Since registration requires this third--party auditing,
it is irrefutable evidence of conformance. Continued certification is subject to periodic audits.

ISO 9001 means that as a company we say what we do and do what we say. In other words, we have established
procedures and policies, and we provide evidence that the procedures and policies are followed.

x 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 arcs or sparks.

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 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 hot.

• Do not use the machine where exhaust, arcs, sparks or hot components can contact flammable material, explosive
dust or gases.
• The operator cab, engine compartment and engine cooling system must be inspected every day and cleaned if neces-
sary 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 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 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 electronic 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.
