6 - MAINTENANCE
Fuel
Use only No. 2-D Ultra-Low Sulfur Diesel ( S15 ) that meets ASTM D975 specifications.
Using other types of fuel may lead to stalled engine output or deterioration in fuel economy.
NOTICE: The warranty should be invalid if any serious defect is caused by usage of any other fuel. Using any fuel
other than the prescribed type will cause damages to the fuel supply system, to the fuel injection system, to the
engine block, and to the exhaust after treatment system. CASE CONSTRUCTION will 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. 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 should:
• be free from dust particles, even minute ones.
• have the proper viscosity.
• have a high cetane number.
• present great fluidity at low temperatures.
• have low sulfur content.
• have very little residual carbon.
NOTICE: Never use a mix of diesel fuel and old engine oil. The fuel injection system and the exhaust after treatment
system will be severely damaged.
NOTICE: consult the fuel supplier or the CASE CONSTRUCTION Dealer regarding appropriate use of fuel additives.
NOTICE: in order to prevent condensation during cold weather, fill the fuel tank to full after completing the day's work.
Fuel storage:
Long storage can lead to the accumulation of impurities and condensation in the fuel. Engine trouble can often be
traced to the presence of water in the fuel. The storage tank must be placed outside and the temperature of the fuel
should be kept as low as possible. Drain off water and impurities regularly.
Disposal of fluids, lubricants, and spare parts
Fluids, lubricants and spare parts used on the machine are not fully compatible with the environment. Make sure to
carry out all maintenance operations using appropriate tools, in order to avoid any risk of damaging the environment.
NOTE: for example, make sure that the receptacle for collecting oil to be replaced is not leaking.
Never spread fluids or lubricants on the ground or into water. Consult the CASE CONSTRUCTION Dealer or the
Local Environmental Agency in order to obtain information on the correct method of disposing fluids and lubricants
used on the machine.
Never throw away spare parts as filters or batteries. Consult the CASE CONSTRUCTION Dealer or the Local Envi-
ronmental Agency in order to obtain information on the correct method of disposing filters, batteries or other spare
parts used on the machine.
