INTRODUCTION
Fuel tanks must be kept as full as possible to limit the amount of air and water vapors in them. It may be necessary to drain the fuel filter water trap more frequently. Potential oxidation and stability could be a problem with the fuel stored in the machine. NOTICE: Machines must not be stored for more than 3 months with Biodiesel fuel blends in the fuel system. If longer storage periods are necessary, the engine must run on pure diesel fuel for a minimum of 20 h to flush the Biodiesel fuel out of the fuel system prior to storage. NOTICE: Biodiesel Fuel must not be stored in on-site + tanks for more than three months. Any spillage of Biodiesel fuel must be cleaned up immediately before it can cause damage to the environment and the paint finish of the machine. Before using Biodiesel fuel blends you should consult with your dealer to receive full information about the approved blend for your machine and any detailed conditions of its usage. NOTICE: Be aware that not fulfilling the requirements and conditions of Biodiesel fuel usage will void your machine’s CASE warranty coverage.
Coolant
WARNING Chemical hazard! Follow the instructions on the container when handling anti-freeze. Failure to comply could result in death or serious injury. W1109A
Use antifreeze in all seasons to protect the cooling system from corrosion and all risk of freezing. For areas where ambient temperature is over -36 °C (-32.8 °F), use a blend of 50 % ethylene-gylcol based antifreeze. For areas where the temperature is below -36 °C (-32.8 °F), it is advisable to use a blend of 40 % water and 60 % antifreeze. NOTICE: Do not use coolant with an antifreeze concentration greater than 50 % (point of congelation is -36 °C (-33 °F), boiling point is 110 °C (230 °F)) unless absolutely required. Never use an antifreeze concentration over 68 %! We do not recommend the blending of antifreeze agents. Blending various types of coolant may cause loss of anticorrosion properties. Always check the antifreeze concentration of the coolant with a refractometer before the winter season starts.
Hydraulic oil Only hydraulic oil CASE AKCELA HY-TRAN® ULTRA™ HYDRAULIC TRANSMISSION OIL may be used for the machine’s hydraulic system. Fill the machine with hydraulic oil of cinematic viscosity 68 mm 2 / s at 40 °C (104 °F) , i.e. ISO VG 68. This oil is most appropriate for use within the widest range of ambient temperatures.
Synthetic hydraulic oil It is possible to fill the hydraulic system with synthetic oil for which any leakage will be completely biodegraded via microorganisms found in water and soil. NOTICE: Always consult with the oil manufacturer or dealer before switching from mineral oil to synthetic oil or mixing oils of various brands!
