Load handling (continued)

-Check that the safety valves function correctly. The pressure setting must be checked every 6 months, in conformance with prevailing regulations and/or the maker’s instructions. Consult your CASE Dealer. -Make sure the load handling chart is in the dust jacket specially provided and that it corresponds to the machine version and the attachment mounted. See

“Load handling limits” . -Place the overload indicator switch on the left-hand control arm in “ON” position.

This is mandatory. See “Left-hand control arm” (item 6) in the “Controls/Instruments/Accessories” Section. -Select the “L” (light) work mode. See “Systems display and control panel” (item 2), in the “Controls/Instruments/Accessories” Section. -Do not exceed the limits shown on the load handling chart. To obtain a load handling chart, consult your CASE Dealer, giving full particulars of the machine model number, the weight of the counterweight, plus the length and type of boom and dipper. -Do not allow anyone within the machine’s operating radius. -Operate the controls smoothly to ensure precise movement of the attachment and the machine. -Stabilize the load a few centimeters above the ground to make sure it is perfectly balanced before trying to move it. -All movements must be sure and smooth. Moving quickly does not mean moving roughly. -When traveling with a load, make sure you do the following : -Place the upperstructure in line with the undercarriage. -Bring the load as close as possible to the undercarriage and the ground. -Be sure all travel is undertaken in slow speed only. NOTE: Load handling on CASE machines is in conformity with standard EN 474-1 and standard 474-5 relative to directive 98/37/EC.
