1. Position the machine on flat, level ground, away from
soft ground, excavations or poorly shored cavities.
2. Place the upperstructure and the attachment in line
with the undercarriage, retract the attachment and dig
the bucket into the ground.
3. Lower the dozer blade (if equipped) until it rests on the
ground.
4. Stop the engine and remove the ignition key.
5. You must place the function cancellation lever in
raised position before leaving the operator's compart-
ment.
6. Lock the cab door.

Maintenance and adjustments
• Do not try to service this machine unless you have
first read and perfectly understood the safety messages
and instructions featuring in this manual.
• When carrying out service work always wear suitable
dress. Avoid loose-fitting clothing.
• Release pressure completely in the hydraulic system
before disconnecting the hydraulic piping. Hydraulic oil
escaping under pressure can cause serious injury.
• Before doing maintenance work on the machine, shut
down the engine and allow it to cool down. Otherwise,
you could be burned.
• Before commencing any work on the machine, place a
"Do not operate" tag on the right-hand control arm.
• Always wear eye protection when using a tool that
might project metal particles. Use a hammer with a
soft face, such as copper, for installing pins.
• Badly carried out maintenance or adjustments can
cause serious injuries. If you do not understand a
servicing or adjustment procedure, consult your CASE
CONSTRUCTION Dealer.
