Working Attachment With Off-Set Boom - Case WX145 Operator's Manual

WORKING ATTACHMENT WITH OFF-
SET BOOM
This attachment is equipped with a joint (1) on the
monoboom (2) allowing to turn the front attachment
section laterally. The machine can now operate
without problems directly in front of walls, corners or
escarpments or under other conditions of confined
space.
During the creation of a flat surface, the soil must be
levelled exclusively in direction of digging. Never
use the bucket as a "broom or a hammer" (for dem-
olition work for instance). The working attachment is
not designed for big efforts, applied laterally; this
would cause its damage.
To increase the machine balance, position the stabi-
lizers and the blade in the proper way. Always oper-
ate with stabilizers feet and blade lowered. If the
machine is not equipped with stabilizers, block the
floating axle. In such a case pay particular attention
during operation, because the overturning danger is
remarkably higher. Avoid to exceed the load carry-
ing capacity limit.
WORKING WITH OFF-SET BOOM
When the machine is equipped with off-set boom,
pedal (3) takes over the control of slewing.
By depressing pedal (3) in the upper/front section,
the off-set boom turn to the right.
By depressing pedal (3) in the lower/rear section,
the off-set boom turn to the left.
MACHINE TRANSPORT WITH OFF-SET BOOM
The best transport height, when the machine is
loaded on the trailer is achieved with:
- off-set boom retracted;
- the digging cylinder completely extended;
- the bucket cylinder completely extended.
The lifting cylinders have to be retracted so that the
attachment can lay as far as possible on the trailer.
