2 - SAFETY INFORMATION
Install guards and shields after you service the machine.
Close all access doors and install all panels after servicing the machine.
Do not attempt to clean, lubricate, clear obstructions, or make adjustments to the machine while it is in motion or while
the engine is running.
Always make sure that working area is clear of tools, parts, other persons and pets before you start operating the
machine.
Unsupported hydraulic cylinders can lose pressure and drop the equipment, causing a crushing hazard. Do not leave
equipment in a raised position while parked or during service, unless the equipment is securely supported.
Jack or lift the machine only at jack or lift points indicated in this manual.
Incorrect towing procedures can cause accidents. When you tow a disabled machine follow the procedure in this
manual. Use only rigid tow bars.
Stop the engine, remove the key, and relieve pressure before you connect or disconnect fluid lines.
Stop the engine and remove the key before you connect or disconnect electrical connections.
Scalding can result from incorrect removal of coolant caps. Cooling systems operate under pressure. Hot coolant can
spray out if you remove a cap while the system is hot. Allow the system to cool before you remove the cap. When
you remove the cap, turn it slowly to allow pressure to escape before you completely remove the cap.
Replace damaged or worn tubes, hoses, electrical wiring, etc.
The engine, transmission, exhaust components, and hydraulic lines may become hot during operation. Take care
when you service such components. Allow surfaces to cool before you handle or disconnect hot components. Wear
protective equipment when appropriate.
When welding, follow the instructions in the manual. Always disconnect the battery before you weld on the machine.
Always wash your hands after you handle battery components.
Cleaning the machine
Do not use cold water on a hot engine. Allow engine to cool to ambient temperature before cleaning, as damage to
components such as fuel pump and other equipment may occur.
When the soft trim material inside the cab becomes dirty, it should be wiped clean. Dip a cloth in a warm water/
detergent solution and wring out as much of the water as possible.
The floor matting should be cleaned with a vacuum cleaner and/or a stiff brush. If necessary a damp cloth may be
used to remove obstinate stains. Allow the matting to dry naturally and avoid getting water under the mat.
External plastic parts such as fenders and the roof should be cleaned using warm and a little detergent and rinsed
with water.
Protect FM radio and speaker from water and dust.
NOTE: If using a high pressure washer to clean the machine, avoid aiming the jet directly at oil fill points, breathers,
seats, instruments, decals, electrical connectors and other electrical connections.
Wheels and tires
Make sure that tires are correctly inflated. Do not exceed any recommended load or pressure. Follow the instructions
in the manual for proper tire inflation.
Tires are heavy. Handling tires without proper equipment could cause death or serious injury.
Never weld on a wheel with a tire installed. Always remove the tire completely from the wheel prior to welding.
Always have a qualified tire technician service the tires and wheels. If a tire has lost all pressure, take the tire and
wheel to a tire shop or your CASE Dealer for service. Explosive separation of the tire can cause serious injury.
