WARNING: Load handling operations must always be carried out with strict adherence to the instructions given in this manual and to current legislation.
For all load handling operations (tubes, concrete pipe connections, shoring material, etc.), the machine must be equipped with safety valves, an overload indicator, a load fixing point and a load handling chart corresponding to the type of machine and to its attachment. See “Load handling limits”. IMPORTANT: No other system or device may be substituted for safety valves when load handling. When handling loads, follow these instructions: -Park the machine on flat, firm, level ground and then lower the stabilizers and the dozer blade (if equipped) to the ground.

-Use the load fixing point located on the connecting rod/bucket linkage pin, on the Quick Coupler (optional,) or at the end of the dipper without tool and without bucket control. See “Load handling limits”. Do not weld hooks or lugs on the bottom plate of buckets or attach a sling or a chain to a clamshell. -Use slings and chains in perfect condition, suitable for the load to be lifted and equipped with a safety device to prevent accidental opening. -Check that the safety valves function properly. The pressure setting must be checked every 6 months, according to the manufacturer’s instructions. Consult your CASE Dealer.
