4 - OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS
Precautions for travelling on slopes
When traveling on a sloping ground, the machine becomes unstable, unbalanced, and difficult to control.
Therefore, the following operating prescriptions shall be
strictly respected.
Always travel with the undercarriage oriented along the
slope, never across. Never travel along a slope steeper
than 20°.
If going across a slope is needed to reach a specific work
place, make sure to follow an alternative path that is made
by traveling along the slope, as outlined in the pictures.
Always select the slow speed travel mode, and operate
the travel controls in order not to suddenly increase or
decrease the speed of the machine.
LELI11E0219AB
12
LELI11E0218AB
13
NOTICE: never shift the travel mode to the fast speed
range while traveling on slopes, as this suddenly increases the speed and makes the machine unstable and
difficult to control.
NOTICE: when the hydraulic oil is not sufficiently warm,
the machine may not be able to develop its full performance. Before traveling on a steep slope, make sure to
carry out a complete preheat of the machine main systems.
For uphill and downhill travel, approach the slope as outlined in the pictures.
The undercarriage shall be oriented along the slope, with
the blade facing the direction of travel, and with the travel
reduction gears on the back side.
The upper-structure shall be aligned to the undercarriage,
and shall be oriented in order to grant straight visibility to
the direction of travel.
The front equipment shall be aligned to the direction of
travel, and shall be positioned in order to have the arm in
vertical position, and the bottom side of the bucket 20 –
30 cm (7.9 – 11.8 in) from the ground.
When traveling along a slope, never swing the upperstructure or the boom from the straight position. In particular during uphill travel, never attempt to swing the upper
structure towards the bottom of the slope: the machine
could tip over.
If the machine starts to slide or loses stability when traveling along a slope, immediately lower the bucket to the
ground and release the travel controls.
Never make turns when traveling along a slope in order
not to affect the balance of the machine. If changing of the
travel direction is needed, make sure to reach a horizontal
area in order to complete the turning movement.

General specification - Biodiesel fuels
Biodiesel usage in CASE CONSTRUCTION • United States Biodiesel Fuel Specification ASTM
D7467 provides specifications for biodiesel blends
products
from B6 to B20.
Introduction to Fatty Acid Methyl Ester Pure biodiesel (B100) specification is covered by the
(FAME) biodiesel
following requirements:
FAME biodiesel, called biodiesel fuel in the following section, consists of a family of fuels derived from vegetable
oils treated with methyl esters.
There are two main biodiesel fuel types: Rapeseed
Methyl Ester (RME) and Soybean Methyl Ester (SME).
RME is a blend of rapeseed and sunflower methyl ester,
and is the preferred crop in Europe. SME is the preferred
crop in the United States.
Biodiesel fuel is a renewable alternative fuel source. Its
use and development is promoted worldwide, especially
in Europe and in the United States.
NOTICE: Your emissions control system is compatible
with up to 5% biodiesel fuel ( B5 ). Be aware that the use
of biodiesel fuel that does not comply with the standards
mentioned in this section could lead to severe damage to
the engine, fuel system or after treatment system of your
machine. The use of non-approved fuels may void CASE
CONSTRUCTION Warranty coverage.
Biodiesel fuel can be used to run diesel engines as pure
biodiesel fuel or when blended with standard diesel fuel:
• B5 : indicates the blend of 5% biodiesel and 95% diesel
fuels.
NOTICE: Never use biodiesel blends higher than B5.
• ASTM D6751 - Standard specification for biodiesel fuel
blend stock (B100) for middle distillate fuels.
Before raw oil can be converted into usable biodiesel
fuel, it must undergo transesterification to remove glycerides. During the transesterification process, the oil
reacts with an alcohol to separate the glycerine from
the fat or vegetable oil. This process leaves behind two
products: methyl ester (the chemical name for biodiesel)
and glycerine (a byproduct usually sold for use in soaps
or other products).
NOTICE: Biodiesel fuels approved for use in the CASE
CONSTRUCTION equipment must be transesterified and
comply with the North America Standard ASTM D6751.
NOTICE: Cold Pressed Biodiesel, Cold Pressed Oil,
Straight Vegetable Oil (SVO), or more generally unrefined vegetable oils used as motor fuel, are fuels that are
normally made from Rapeseed oil or similar high oil content crops. These kinds of fuel are not transesterified, so
they do not fulfil the ASTM D6751 requirements. There is
no recognized quality standard available for these types
of fuel. Therefore the use of Cold Pressed Biodiesel,
Cold Pressed Oil, Straight Vegetable Oil (SVO), or more
generally unrefined vegetable oils used as motor fuel
are NOT APPROVED at any blend in any CASE CONSTRUCTION product.
• Biodiesel fuel adds lubricity to the fuel, which is beneficial in many circumstances, particularly as sulfur and
aromatics are removed from the fuel.
NOTICE: Any engine and fuel injection equipment fitted
to a CASE CONSTRUCTION vehicle found to have run
with any blend of NON-APPROVED fuel (fuel not fulfilling the specification described in the requirement ASTM
D6751) will no longer be covered for Warranty by CASE
CONSTRUCTION.
• Biodiesel has a greater cetane number and burns
cleaner.
Biodiesel fuel usage conditions
Biodiesel fuel has several positive features in comparison
with diesel fuel:
• Biodiesel produces less particulate matter and reduces
smoke emissions.
• Biodiesel is fully biodegradable and non-toxic.
You must stringently follow the biodiesel fuel usage conditions. Incorrect application of the biodiesel fuel usage
conditions could lead to severe damage to the engine,
fuel injection equipment and aftertreatment system.
Diesel and biodiesel fuel specifications
The main concerns related to operation with biodiesel
fuels are:
TIER 4 FINAL diesel fuel specifications are covered by
the following:
• ASTM D975, Standard Specification for Diesel Fuel
Oils. (15 ppm sulfur maximum.)
Biodiesel blends are covered by:
• United States Diesel Fuel Specification ASTM D975 allows up to 5% biodiesel since 2009. United States fuel
suppliers are allowed to use up to 5% biodiesel fuel (B5)
to supply the network.
• Filters and injector blockage caused by poor fuel quality.
• Wear and corrosion of internal components due to water content, which affects lubricity.
• Deterioration of some rubber sealing compounds in the
fuel system.
• Biodiesel oxidation, which can lead to the formation of
deposits that can harm the fuel injection system.
6-4
6 - MAINTENANCE
NOTICE: Any problem in the engine fuel injection equipment associated with non-compliance to the following
conditions for biodiesel fuel handling and maintenance
will not be covered for Warranty by CASE CONSTRUCTION.
Purchase biodiesel fuel from a trusted supplier who
understands the product and maintains acceptable
fuel quality. It is highly recommended that you use
biodiesel from BQ 9000 accredited suppliers to maintain
the quality and consistency of the fuel. The BQ 9000
Quality Management Program is accredited by the National Biodiesel Board for producers and marketers of
biodiesel fuel. See the National Biodiesel Board website
at www.biodiesel.org for more information.
Storage
The machine should not be stored for long periods without
changing the diesel fuel in the fuel system.
NOTICE: Biodiesel is highly hygroscopic and tends to collect water more than diesel fuel. This increases the risk of
algae and bacteria growth which can cause severe damage to the fuel injection system. Keep the machine fuel
tanks and on-site storage tanks as full as possible to limit
the amount of air and water vapors inside the tank. Drain
water from the tanks at least once a week.
If the machine should be stored for long periods, make
sure to replace the diesel fuel every three months at most.

Fluids and lubricants
By using appropriate fluids and lubricants the excavator can operate in ambient temperatures ranging from -15 °C
(-4 °F) to 45 °C (113 °F).
NOTICE: when operating the machine in ambient temperatures outside the above mentioned range, consult your
CASE CONSTRUCTION dealer for specific machine provision and for specific fluids and lubricants to be used.

recommended may cause damage to the fuel injection pump, injector, and other fuel supply system or the engine.
CASE CONSTRUCTION may not be responsible to any of such damages.
If the temperature drops below the fuel cloud point, output deficiency or engine start problems may occur due to wax
crystals.
For North America only: during cold weather, lower than -7 °C (19.4 °F), it is temporarily acceptable to use a mixture
of No. 1-D (S15) and No. 2-D (S15).
NOTICE: if operating in severe winter climate, consult the fuel supplier or the CASE CONSTRUCTION dealer for
specific diesel fuel to be used.
The diesel fuel to be used on the machine shall:
• be free from dust particles, even minute ones.
• have the proper viscosity.

Circuit configuration
As for breaker oil pressure line, use extra spool of main control valve.
Set proper breaker pressure on load relief valve.
The pressure of the system is 19615 kPa (2845 psi).
The accumulator should be used to the breaker charging and return line. If the accumulator is not used, it will be
damage as the input wave is delivered.
Keep the pressure pulsation of pump below 5861 kPa (850 psi) by installing the accumulator.
Do not connect the breaker return line to the main control, but connect to the return line front of the cooler.
Do not connect the breaker return line to drain lines, such as of swing motor, travel motor or pump, otherwise they
should be damaged.

Precautions while operating the hydraulic breaker
Avoid hitting objects with breaker. The breaker is heavier than the bucket and lowers faster. This may cause
damages to the breaker, attachment, and upperstructure.
Always lower the breaker slowly until the chisel point
touches the object to be broken before starting breaker
operation.

W0257A
WARNING
Improper operation or service of this machine can result in an accident.
When lifting a load the machine must be equipped with:
- safety valves,
- an overload indicator,
- a load fixing point.
Failure to comply could result in death or serious injury.
W1489A
NOTICE: the machine has been specifically designed to perform digging/loading works. If you handle suspended
loads with this machine, you must equip the machine with the appropriate optional equipment including safety valves,
load handling eye, load lifting table, and an overhead warning alarm. Make sure to handle suspended loads following
strictly all current Regulations regarding this application, as well as the rules described in the SAFETY INFORMATION
chapter.
NOTICE: make provision for lifting devices that comply with current Regulations for lifting applications. Make sure
that the lifting devices (hooks, chains etc.) are in perfect conditions without any sign of excessive wear. Make sure
to use self-locking hooks in order to avoid unintended opening during lift operation. The lifting devices can be used
exclusively for the lifting of parts not anchored to the ground. Never use them for towing operations, uprooting or
tearing apart.
NOTICE: a suspended load can swing freely, and it can thus hit persons or the cab of the machine. Make sure that
all bystanders are moved away from the field of action of the machine, and make sure to handle the load slowly. If
the load starts to swing during the handling, lower it slowly to the ground and sling it in a way that avoid unintended
swinging as much as possible.
NOTICE: load handling eye (optional) rated lifting load RLL: 1500 kg (3307 lb).

• Secure the load with the load handling eye (optional)
(2) located on the bucket linkage rod, using slinging devices and chains adequate for the load to be lifted. In
order to limit the swinging of the load, avoid slinging it
with cables and/or chains too long.
• Extend the bucket cylinder to end stroke.
• Check the surrounding working area and make sure
that the path to be travelled with the load is free from
obstacles.
• Lift slowly the load, avoiding sharp movements which
could cause swinging of the load. Keep the load near
the machine, to improve the stability and operate,
preferably, along its longitudinal axis, rather than crossways. Lift the load from the ground the minimum height
required.
• Position and place the load where desired, making sure
that it is resting on a solid base appropriate for its mass.
• Remove the chains.
Safety valves
The safety valves are intended to prevent the front equipment from dropping down in the event of a breakage or
burst of a hose in the hydraulic lines of boom and arm.
The safety valves keep the front equipment in the position at the time of breakage, and thus allow the operator
to slowly lower the attachment to the ground using the left
and right control levers.
Moreover, the safety valves allow an operator to keep the
front equipment in the selected operating position, reducing the leakages that occur in the neutral position of the
boom spool and the arm spool in the main control valve.
NOTICE: prior to starting any handling of suspended
loads check that the valves do not show clear evidence
of damages or abnormal noises. In the event abnormal
conditions are found, contact the CASE CONSTRUCTION. dealer.
NOTICE: the pressure setting of the safety valves must
be checked every 6 months. Consult the CASE CONSTRUCTION dealer.
