4. If possible, make all repairs with the machine
parked on a level, hard surface. Block the machine
so it does not roll while working on or under the
machine. Hang a Do Not Operate tag in the Op-
erators Compartment.
5. Do not work on any machine that is supported only
by lift, jacks or a hoist. Always use blocks or jack
stands, capable of supporting the machine, before
performing any disassembly.
6. Relieve all pressure in air, oil or water systems
before any lines, fittings or related items are dis-
connected or removed. Always make sure all
raised components are blocked correctly and be
alert for possible pressure when disconnecting any
device from a system that utilizes pressure.
7. Lower the bucket, blade, or other attachments to
the ground before performing any work on the ma-
chine. If this cannot be done, make sure the bucket,
blade or other attachment is blocked correctly to
prevent it from dropping unexpectedly.
Do not operate this machine unless you have read
and understand the instructions in this OPERA-
ORS MANUAL. Improper machine operation is
dangerous and could result in injury or death.
1.2 SAFETY PRECAUT ONS
The serviceman or mechanic may be unfamiliar
with many of the systems on this machine. This
makes it important to use caution when perform-
ing service work. A knowledge of the system and
or components is important before the removal or
disassembly of any component.
Because of the size of some of the machine com-
ponents, the serviceman or mechanic should
check the weights noted in this manual. Use proper
lifting procedures when removing any components.
Weight of components table is shown in Section
6, SPECIFICATIONS.
he proper and safe lubrication and maintenance
for this machine, recommended by CASE, is out-
lined in this OPERA ORS MANUAL for this machine.

16. Do not damage wiring during removal opera-
tions. Reinstall the wiring so it is not damaged
nor will be damaged in operation of the machine
by contacting sharp corners, or by rubbing
against some object or hot surface. Do not con-
nect wiring to a line containing fluid.
17. Be sure all protective devices including guards
and shields are properly installed and function-
ing correctly before starting a repair. If a guard
or shield must be removed to perform the repair
work, use extra caution and replace the guard or
shield after repair is complete.
18. he maintenance and repair work while holding
the bucket raised is dangerous due to the possi-
bility of a falling attachment. Do not fail to lower
the attachment and place the bucket to the
ground before starting the work.
19. Loose or damaged fuel, lubricant and hydraulic
lines, tubes and hoses can cause fires. Do not
bend or strike high pressure lines or install ones
which have been bent or damaged. Inspect lines,
tubes and hoses carefully. Do not check for leaks
with your hands. Very small (pinhole) leaks can
result in a high velocity oil stream that will be
invisible close to the hose. his oil can penetrate
the skin and cause personal injury. Use card-
board or paper to locate pinhole leaks.
20. ighten connections to the correct torque. Make
sure that all heat shields, clamps and guards are
installed correctly to avoid excessive heat, vibra-
tion or rubbing against other parts during opera-
tion. Shields that protect against oil spray onto
hot exhaust components in event of a line, tube
or seal failure must be installed correctly.
21. Do not operate a machine if any rotating part is
damaged or contacts any other part during op-
eration. Any high speed rotating component that
has been damaged or altered should be checked
for balance before reusing.
22. Be careful when servicing or separating the
tracks (crawlers). Chips can fly when removing
or installing a track (crawlers) pin. Wear safety
glasses and long sleeve protective clothing.
racks (crawlers) can unroll very quickly when
separated. Keep away from front and rear of
machine. he machine can move unexpectedly
when both tracks (crawlers) are disengaged from
the sprockets. Block the machine to prevent it
from moving.
8. Use steps and grab handles when mounting or
dismounting a machine. Clean any mud, grease,
oil or debris from steps, walkways or work plat-
forms before using. Always face the machine
when using steps, ladders and walkways. When
it is not possible to use the designed access sys-
tem, provide ladders, scaffolds, or work platforms
to perform safe repair operations.
Refer to item L on page 1-7 .
9.o avoid back injury, use a hoist when lifting com-
ponents which weigh 20 kg (45 lb) or more. Make
sure all chains, hooks, slings, etc., are in good
condition and are the correct capacity. Be sure
hooks are positioned correctly. Lifting eyes are
not to be side loaded during a lifting operation.
10. o avoid burns, be alert for hot parts on ma-
chines which have just been stopped and hot
fluids in lines, tubes and compartments.
11. Be careful when removing cover plates. Gradu-
ally back off the last two capscrews or nuts lo-
cated at opposite ends of the cover or device and
carefully pry cover loose to relieve any spring or
other pressure, before removing the last two
capscrews or nuts completely.
12. Be careful when removing filler caps, breathers
and plugs on the machine. Hold a rag over the
cap or plug to prevent being sprayed or splashed
by liquids under pressure. he danger is even
greater if the machine has just been stopped be-
cause fluids can be hot.
13. Always use the proper tools that are in good con-
dition and that are suited for the job at hand. Be
sure you understand how to use them before per-
forming any service work.
14. Reinstall all fasteners with the same part num-
ber. Do not use a lesser quality fastener if re-
placements are necessary.
15. Repairs which require welding should be per-
formed only with the benefit of the appropriate
reference information and by personnel ad-
equately trained and knowledgeable in welding
procedures. Determine type of metal being
welded and select correct welding procedure and
electrodes, rods or wire to provide a weld metal
strength equivalent at least to that of the parent
metal. Make sure to disconnect battery before
any welding procedures are attempted.
