the trainee will be able to:
- Explain why the environment of use and machine application is an important factor for safe, efficient and productive operation.
- Explain how to use the Radio Remote Control System to efficiently and safely operate a Bobcat® loader equipped with Selectable Joystick Controls (SJC) or a Bobcat All-Wheel Steer (AWS) loader.
- Discuss how operation of the Remote Control Transmitter affects loader steering, braking and overall stability.
- Explain the difference between Tipping Load and Rated Operating Capacity (ROC).
- Discuss how different ground conditions, speed and slopes can affect the stability and traction capabilities of a Bobcat® loader.
- Identify the controls on the loader and the Radio Remote Control Transmitter, Control Mode Selector / E-Stop Box and their functions.
- Identify the loader’s and the Radio Remote Control System’s safety features and explain their importance.
- Explain the steps of safe entry and exit including how to open the rear window of the cab when necessary to activate the Lift Arm Bypass Control feature.
- Explain how to install the Radio Remote Control kit on the loader.
- Understand the operational differences between operating a Bobcat® SJC or AWS loader while seated inside the operator’s cab versus controlling the machine using the Radio Remote Control System.
- Understand the responsiveness of the loader’s hydrostatic drive system, and that the loader will respond to the operator's movement of the steering controls on the Radio Remote Control Transmitter.
- Know the fundamentals of safe and efficient maneuvering, traveling and working with attachments. Understand what attachments are approved for use with the Bobcat® Loader Radio Remote Control System.
