Some recommendations must be followed: • Obtain information about the correct methods to recycle or dispose of waste from local authorities, collection centers or your dealer.

• Do not dispose of waste onto the ground, into drains, or in water beds.

• Do not fill reservoirs using cans or inappropriate pressurized fluid delivery systems, as they may cause considerable spillage.

• Use sealed containers when draining the fluids.

NOTE: Do not use containers for food or beverages which may induce ingestion.

• The air conditioning system is under pressure, and contains gases that should not be released into the atmosphere.

• Do not disconnect or remove any component from the pressure line of the air conditioning system.

NOTE: If you need repairs to the air conditioning system, contact an Authorized CASE CONSTRUCTION Dealer.

• Immediately repair any leaks or defects in the machine’s engine cooling system and hydraulic system.

1 - GENERAL INFORMATION

Biodiesel - Biodiesel fuel Introduction Fatty acid methyl ester (FAME) fuel, called biodiesel fuel in this section, is a family of fuels derived from vegetable oils treated with methyl esters.

There are two main types: rapeseed methyl ester (RME) and soybean methyl ester (SME). RME is a blend of rapeseed and sunflower methyl ester, and is the preferred type in Europe. SME is the preferred type in the United States.

Diesel engines can be run with pure biodiesel fuel or a blend of standard diesel fuel and biodiesel fuel: • B5: indicates the blend of 5% biodiesel and 95% diesel fuels.

• B20: indicates the blend of 20% biodiesel and 80% diesel fuels.

• B100: indicates pure biodiesel, or 100% biodiesel fuel.

NOTE: Check on the biodiesel decal which blend is suitable for your machine.

Biodiesel fuel is a renewable alternative fuel source. Its use and development is promoted worldwide, especially in Europe and in the United States. Biodiesel has several positive features: • Biodiesel fuel adds lubricity to the fuel, which is beneficial in many circumstances, particularly as sulfur and aromatics are removed from the fuel.

• Biodiesel has a greater cetane number and burns cleaner.

• Biodiesel produces less particulate matter and reduces smoke emissions.

• Biodiesel fuel is fully biodegradable and non-toxic.

Diesel and biodiesel fuel specifications • Europe: EN 590 - specification of diesel fuel (10 ppm sulfur maximum) • United States of America: ASTM D975-10 – standard specification for diesel fuel • Argentina: 6537-1:1997 and 6538:2010 • Brazil: according to ANP (Agência Nacional do Petróleo) specification Biodiesel blends are covered by: • European diesel fuel specification EN 590 allows up to 7% biodiesel since 2009. European fuel suppliers are allowed to use up to 7% biodiesel fuel (B7) to supply the network.

• The specification for diesel in Brazil ASTM D6751-09A allows up to 7% of biodiesel. Brazilian fuel suppliers can use up to 7% of biodiesel fuel (B7) to supply the network.

Before crude oil can be converted into usable biodiesel, it must undergo transesterification to remove glycerides.

During the transesterification process, the oil reacts with an alcohol to separate the glycerine from the fat or vegetable oil. This process leaves behind two products: methyl ester (the chemical name for biodiesel) and glycerin (a byproduct usually sold for use in soaps or other products).

NOTE: Biodiesel fuels approved for use in CASE CONSTRUCTION equipment must be transesterified and comply with European standard EN14214, Brazilian and North American standard ASTM D6751 and Argentine standard 6515-1:2013.

NOTICE: Cold pressed biodiesel, cold pressed oil, straight vegetable oil (SVO), or more generally unrefined vegetable oils used as motor fuel are fuels that are normally made from rapeseed oil or similar high oil content crops.

These fuels are not transesterified and do not meet EN14214, ASTM D6751 or 6515-1:2013 requirements. There is no recognized quality standard available for these fuels. Therefore the use of cold pressed biodiesel, cold pressed oil, straight vegetable oil (SVO) or unrefined vegetable oils are NOT APPROVED at any blend in any CASE CONSTRUCTION product.

NOTICE: Running any engine and fuel injection equipment in a CASE CONSTRUCTION vehicle with any blend of NON-APPROVED fuel (fuel not complying with the specification described in requirement EN14214 for Europe, requirement ASTM D6751 for Brazil and the United States and 6515-1:2013 for Argentina) will void the warranty cover

by CASE CONSTRUCTION. 1-12

1 - GENERAL INFORMATION

Fuel usage conditions You must follow fuel usage conditions. Incorrect use can lead to severe damage to both the engine and the fuel injection equipment.

The main concerns when operating with biodiesel are: • Filter and injector blockage caused by poor fuel quality.

• Wear and corrosion of internal components from water content, which affects lubricity.

• Deterioration of some rubber sealing compounds in the fuel system.

• Biodiesel oxidation, which can lead to the formation of deposits that can harm the fuel injection system.

NOTICE: Problems in the engine fuel injection equipment associated with non-compliance with the following conditions for biodiesel handling and maintenance will not be covered for warranty by CASE CONSTRUCTION. Purchase biodiesel fuel from a trusted supplier who understands the product and maintains acceptable fuel quality.

Use biodiesel from BQ 9000 accredited suppliers to maintain the quality and consistency of the fuel. The BQ 9000 Quality Management Program is accredited by the National Biodiesel Board for producers and marketers of biodiesel fuel. See the website at www.biodiesel.org for more information.

Biodiesel Fuel must be pre-blended by the supplier. Mixing biodiesel fuel blends on-site can result in an incorrect mixture that may damage the engine and/or fuel system.

NOTICE: CASE CONSTRUCTION may void your warranty if an engine or fuel system problem results from poor fuel quality due to improper blending. You and your fuel supplier are responsible that the right type of fuel and blend is delivered and used.

Using an additive for Biodiesel Despite strict standards for the manufacture of biodiesel in Brazil, fuel may present problems after some time in storage, such as the formation of colonies of microorganisms, oxidation and crystallization in the cold. Although the percentage of biodiesel blended with diesel fuel is small, the problems that can occur with the fuel cause major disruptions.

To avoid disruptions and possible damage to equipment, CASE CONSTRUCTION makes the following recommendation: Use a Biodiesel biocide additive for the purpose of combating the formation of colonies of microorganisms in the machine's fuel system. The additive, as well as having biocidal properties, should also function as a lubricant and antioxidant. Consult your CASE CONSTRUCTION dealer for detailed information on the concentration and frequency of use of the additive.

STARTING THE UNIT

Starting the engine WARNING Equipment failure could cause accident or injury!

Always fasten the seat belt securely before you operate the machine. Inspect seat belt parts for wear and damage. Replace any and all worn or damaged parts of the seat belt prior to operation.

Failure to comply could result in death or serious injury.

W0046C

NOTE: Before you start the engine, always sit in the operator's seat, fasten your seatbelt, and make sure that you are able to push the pedals all the way down, with your back supported on the back of the seat. Apply the parking brake. Make sure that the transmission direction control lever is in the neutral position. Warn anyone who is near the machine that you are about to start it.

NOTE: Do not persist in starting the engine for a period of more than 30 seconds. If the engine does not start in this period, wait two minutes before trying again. Do not use start-up to bleed the fuel supply system. Fuel must be bled by the hand pump. Prolonged and repeated operation of the ignition key due to engine start-up problems can seriously damage the fuel shutoff solenoid. In this case, all warranty claims will be rejected due to improper operation.

• Make sure that the control levers are in neutral.

• Make sure that the transmission lever is in neutral.

• Ensure that the parking brake is applied.

• Turn the ignition key to the on position. Check that the instrument cluster works correctly.

• Turn the ignition key to the start position. Hold the ignition key in that position to engage the starter motor and to turn over the engine.

NOTE: If the engine starts and stops, wait until the starter motor no longer turns over before you start the engine again.

• After starting the engine, check the instruments to ensure that the readings are correct.

• Run the engine for some time at a speed slightly higher than idle speed to warm the engine up.

• Once the engine is running, briefly release the throttle to allow the pump's maximum flow thrust to start working.

This is because the injection pump is equipped with a variable speed regulator.

• With the engine at an idle speed of approximately 950 rpm, the minimum oil pressure should not be lower than 0.5 Kg/cm² (7.1 psi). At this point, the oil pressure warning light should extinguish.

NOTE: If the pressure shown is lower than the specified pressure and the light does not extinguish, immediately stop the engine and check for the cause of the lack of pressure.

• Do not accelerate the engine above idle speed immediately after the start-up. This will allow the air pressure to fall within the green range and the parking brake to be released.

• The machine must not be moved until the buzzer stops sounding, until the air pressure gauge needle is in the green range, and until the parking brake is released.

• During the starter drive, white or black smoke will be emitted from the exhaust pipe.

NOTE: If there is no smoke, or if the engine does not start-up, this means that the fuel is not reaching the cylinders and that you should investigate the cause.

4-4

4 - OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS

During operations Periodically observe the control instruments on the panel.

If the battery charge warning light turns on while the engine is running, this indicates that the battery is not receiving charge.

Also check the coolant water operating temperature and the oil pressure gauge. If any irregularity is identified, stop the vehicle and identify the fault.

Engine speed Diesel engine speed is limited by the injection pump governor. Thus, a diesel engine cannot fire in neutral. A governor automatically restricts the injection pump when the engine reaches the maximum established speed.

Economical operations The diesel engine on your loader guarantees a long working life, low fuel consumption, and the preservation of its initial power. Performance, however, is not solely dependent on the engine. The way in which it is run is also a principal factor.

The greater the uniformity of the load to which the engine is subjected, the lower the level of fuel consumption and general engine wear.

Idle Do not run the engine for a long period at idle speed. This may cause a low operating temperature. A low operating temperature may lead to the contamination of engine oil with acids and impurities. The correct operating temperature keeps the engine efficient and clean.

Run the engine at idle speed for a minute after start-up before you increase the speed and load. When you shut down the engine after you use the machine under high load, let the engine run at idle speed for one to two minutes to allow the components to cool down in a uniform way.

Shut down the engine after you have let the engine run for a few moments at idle speed to prevent damage to the turbocharger.

NOTICE: The engine must never be run at idle speed for long periods during its run-in, especially in extremely cold weather.

Proper cold weather servicing will extend your machine’s working life. Pay attention to the items described below.

Battery and electrical system

Fuel system

1. Clean the batteries and check that they are fully charged.

1. Check with your supplier regarding the ideal fuel type for cold weather use.

NOTE: A fully charged battery at a temperature of -17 °C (1.4 °F) has only 40% of its normal start-up capacity. At -29 °C (-20.2 °F), the battery has only 18% of its total capacity.

NOTE: The engine output will be reduced if wax particles are deposited in the fuel filters.

2. Be sure to check for water in the fuel system.

NOTE: Low temperatures could cause water deposits to form in the fuel tank and freeze.

2. Inspect the battery's cables and terminals.

3. Clean the terminals. Apply a sealing compound to the electronic terminals to prevent corrosion. See an Authorized CASE CONSTRUCTION Dealer for information on how to purchase the product.

3. Check and drain the fuel filter and fuel tank to remove water that may have accumulated at the end of each shift, or as necessary.

NOTE: If no water has accumulated, increase the interval between checks.

4. To retain the charge lost during start-up, let the machine run for approximately 10 min in cold climates and approximately 30 min in extremely cold climates.

NOTE: During extremely cold periods, removing and storing the batteries in a moderately warm place, preferably around 21 °C (69.8 °F), may be necessary.

Reinstall the batteries when starting up the engine for daily operations.

5. If the battery requires water, make sure that you charge the batteries or let the engine run for approximately two hours at temperatures below 0 °C (32 °F).

This procedure will prevent the battery from freezing.

Cooling system 1. Fill the anti-freeze cooling system.

2. Check the coolant mixture before operating in cold weather conditions.

3. Use a mixture of 50% ethylene glycol and 50% water when you operate at temperatures of -37 °C (-34.6 °F).

NOTE: If the temperature is below that described above, see an Authorized CASE CONSTRUCTION Dealer for information about the correct ratio of the mixture of ethylene glycol and water.

Lubricants 1. Make sure that you correctly follow the oil and filter recommendation for the engine. Make sure that you correctly follow the fluid and filter recommendation for the hydraulic system, as indicated in this manual.

2. Use oil with the correct viscosity for the ambient operating temperature on each machine component, especially for the engine crankcase, the transmission, and the axles.

4. Use a solution of ethylene glycol and water in your machine throughout the year.

Cold start 1. Contact an Authorized CASE CONSTRUCTION Dealer for information about the components for the cold starting system (optional).

3. In intense cold weather conditions, contact your Authorized CASE CONSTRUCTION Dealer for information on alternative lubricants for the hydraulic system and the transmission.

4 - OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS

Machine warm up 1.

Once you have started the engine, keep the engine running (without load) at half of maximum speed ( 1300 – 1400 RPM) for at least 10 min.

8.

Once the machine has been correctly warmed up, depress and hold the brake pedal, move the transmission into the FORWARD position, press the parking brake switch to put it in the OFF position, and release the brake pedals.

9.

Operate the machine safely in a clear area before operating it for work.

NOTE: This will help to heat up the hydraulic fluid and transmission fluid.

2.

After the engine has warmed up, activate the driver controls by pressing the right-hand side of the switch on the instrument cluster.

3.

Depress and hold the brake pedal. Activate the hydraulic controls several times.

4.

In extremely cold conditions, it may take a while for hydraulic functions to respond.

5.

10. Ensure that all the machine’s controls work.

11. Do not operate the machine in 3rd or 4th gear until the transmission fluid and the axle oil has warmed up, enabling the machine to move freely.

Activating the hydraulic controls several times will heat up both the hydraulic fluid and the hydraulic system components.

NOTE: The power steering may become slow to respond in periods of intense cold.

6.

Turn the steering wheel from the position of the righthand stop to the position of the left-hand stop at least 3 to 5 times before driving the machine.

NOTE: Ensure that there is enough space around the machine before turning the steering wheel from the right-hand stop position to the left-hand stop position.

7.

In intensely cold conditions, the brakes can be slow to respond. You need to use the correct fluid in the braking/hydraulic system. Even when you use the correct fluid in the braking/hydraulic system, you may find the brakes a little slow to respond the first few times that you activate the brake.

NOTE: Press the brake pedal at least 8 to 10 times before you move the machine.

4-7

ATTENTION: If the machine has been left at idle speed at a cold temperature, the engine will stay warm, but the hydraulic/brake fluid and the axle fluid will not. The axle fluid and axle components may be cold and make the brakes slow to respond. If this happens, the entire warm-up procedure must be repeated.

4 - OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS

Machine operation (In hot environments) ATTENTION: Weather conditions can cause issues with your machine. Under these conditions, your machine will require special care. Proper cold weather maintenance will extend the service life of your machine. Pay attention to the items described below.

Material transport operations When you perform material transport operations, the bucket must tilted back. The bottom of the bucket must not be more than 305 – 457 mm (12.0 – 18.0 in) above the surface.

ATTENTION: When you operate the machine, keep the loader bucket as low as possible. This low position gives better balance and permits you to see more clearly. If the bucket is full and you move the machine over ground that is rough or surfaces that can cause the machine to slide, always operate at low speed.

Operations on sloped surfaces Before you operate this machine on sloped surfaces, always put the transmission in a low gear and test the brakes.

Do not let the machine move down a sloped surface with the transmission in neutral.

Do not use the declutch switch when you operate on sloped surfaces.

Be extra careful and pay extra attention when you operate on sloped surfaces.

Make sure that the low speed travel is selected.

Always travel in the same direction as the slope to prevent the machine from turning over On extremely steep surfaces, use the transmission kick down mode.

NOTICE: This procedure helps with braking and prevents brake overheating and premature disk wear.

6-3

6 - WORKING OPERATIONS

Loading the bucket In general, there are three bucket loading methods: 1. The arc bucket penetration method makes the bucket penetrate the material in a continuous arc upward until the bucket is filled.

2. The step bucket penetration method makes the bucket penetrate the material horizontally with intermittent levels successively higher or in steps, until the bucket is filled.

3. The flat bucket penetration method makes the bucket penetrate the material, horizontally, until the bucket is filled.

NOTE: Assess the type of penetration required to load the bucket. Alter the method based on the materials you load.

Start work with the bucket at the top of the edge or pile of material.

Arc bucket penetration • Slowly approach the pile of material with the bucket in a horizontal position on level ground and with the engine at maximum rpm.

• Move the machine forward until the bucket is full.

• Penetrate the bucket about 152 – 229 mm (6 – 9 in) directly into the pile of material.

• Coordinate the lift movements of the loader arm and the bucket tilt back so that the rear part fills while the machine moves forward.

NOTE: If the tilt back is too excessive, the bucket will not be fully filled, whereas if it is insufficient, the bucket will be overloaded.

COIL15TLB0028AA

COIL15TLB0027AA

6

Step bucket penetration • Approach the pile of material with the bucket in a horizontal position on level ground and with the engine at maximum rpm.

• Make the bucket directly penetrate the pile of material as much as possible during the initial advance.

• When engine rpm starts to drop, chock the brake pedal.

• Keep the bucket in a horizontal position. Lift the bucket approximately 0.305 mm (0.01 in).

• Move the machine forward again. Penetrate further into the pile of material with the bucket.

• Repeat the cycle as many times as necessary until the bucket is full.

Flat bucket penetration • Approach the pile of material with the bucket in a horizontal position on level ground and with the engine at maximum rpm.

• Make the bucket directly penetrate the pile of material as much as possible during the initial advance.

• Keep the bucket in a horizontal position. Penetrate into the pile of material until the bucket is filled.

Yield During the loading process, and when transporting the load, place the gear selector lever in reduced.

6-4

6 - WORKING OPERATIONS

To improve performance, leave the engine running at high speed while unloading the bucket or when using said component to dig.

NOTE: Running the engine for long operating periods at stall speed or at a similar speed (wheels and/or bucket moving slowly or fully stationary, under load), may cause the converter to overheat. Observe the converter temperature gauge. If the needle enters the red range, change to a lower gear or reduce the load.

Transport When moving away from the pile of material and transporting the load, raise the bucket just enough to avoid hitting any obstacles. Raising the bucket higher than necessary will reduce the tractor's traction and stability.

Bucket dump When dumping the load on a truck, let it fall gradually from the bucket. This will ease the impact of the additional weight on the truck.

Suddenly dumping the entire load will have an abrupt impact on the truck, and has the potential to cause serious damage.

After dumping, if part of the load remains inside the bucket, tap its limiters to release the remaining material.

Machine operation in water Make sure that the bottom of the stream, or water in which you will work, can support the weight of the machine.

Do not allow the water level to reach the wheel rim.

Before you use the machine in water, inject large quantities of fresh grease into the appropriate grease fittings.

Having completed the operation, make sure to inject more grease into any fitting that was in water.

ATTENTION: Do not operate in rivers with strong currents.

6-5

6 - WORKING OPERATIONS

Load trucks Load trucks • To load the truck effectively, keep the operating area as small as possible.

• To distribute the wear of the steering system, position the truck alternately on both sides of the machine.

• The operator should somehow determine, by experience, the most efficient arrangement for the specific work conditions.

• When dumping the load on a truck, ensure that the procedure is completed facing away from the wind.

NOTE: Thus, dirt and loose material will be kept away from your eyes and will not restrict visibility.

Furthermore, this measure reduces the maintenance frequency of the engine air filter.

• If one of the sides of the truck's bodywork is lower than the other, the operator may place the tractor in a position that facilitates loading using said lower side. This will improve the reach of the loader bucket.

• First unload from the side furthest from the bodywork.

• Fill the truck gradually, moving from the side furthest from the bodywork towards the side closest to the bodywork.

NOTE: This will ensure that the load is more equally distributed across the truck.

6-6

6 - WORKING OPERATIONS

Return to the digging position After dumping the load, the loader bucket will automatically return to the digging position. This facilitates quicker working cycles, allowing the operator to concentrate on tractor maneuvers.

After dumping the load, return the bucket lever to the tilt back position, fully tilting the bucket, and then push the lifting arm lever to the float position. The bucket will lower and automatically return to the digging position. Engine speed must be sufficient to allow the lower part of the bucket to return to the horizontal position before reaching ground level.

NOTE: When a return-to-digging mechanism is used, make sure that the ignition key is in the “on” position, as this serves to engage the return-to-digging electrical circuits.

At the end of the cycle, the bucket lever will be automatically released from the detent tilt back position and return to the retain position.

This is not the case with the lifting arm lever, which will remain in the float position. It must be manually returned to the retain position.

Torque converter Converter overheating To prevent the converter from overheating and possible damage to the transmission, especially under severe working conditions at high ambient temperatures, the machine must not be constantly operated at stall speed or at a similar speed (engine at full throttle and the transmission fully engaged, but with the wheels stationary or almost stationary).

If the machine is running at a high speed and the temperature gauge's needle approaches the red range, change to a lower gear to avoid overheating.

If the temperature gauge enters the red range, immediately stop the machine, place the transmission in neutral and leave the engine running at an intermediate speed until the needle returns to the green range. Then, check the transmission oil lever for leaks.

If the converter continues to overheat, consult your CASE CONSTRUCTION dealer.

Fuel system WARNING Improper operation or service of this machine can result in an accident.

Read and understand the SAFETY INFORMATION Section before you perform any maintenance, service, or repairs. Read and understand the specific service procedures for the components you plan to work with before you start servicing the machine.

Failure to comply could result in death or serious injury.

W0138A

Specifications For information about fuel specifications and capacities, see page 8-1.

For information about how to drain the fuel pre-filter, see page 7-57.

For information about replacement of the fuel filters, see page 7-80.

For information about replacement of the fuel pre-filter, see page 7-79.

For information about draining the condensation from the fuel tank, see page 7-82.

Fuel use Use grade No. 2 fuel. The use of other types of fuel can result in loss of engine power and cause overly high fuel consumption.

You can use a mixture of No. 1 and No. 2 fuels in cold weather. See the fuel supplier.

If the temperature drops below the fuel’s wax point (temperature at which wax starts to form), wax crystals may cause a loss of engine power or prevent start-up of the engine Fill the fuel tank at the end of each work day. Fill the fuel tank completely to prevent condensation of water inside the tank.

Fuel system components The fuel system is comprised of a tank, filters, pumps, and injection equipment.

Using clean fuel and servicing components regularly at the correct intervals are essential requirements for the system to have a long service life.

Before winter starts, the sediment left in the fuel tank must be removed and the filters must be cleaned well or replaced.

This prevents water waste entering the tubing, which would cause power outages if the water froze.

You should add a certain quantity of kerosene to the fuel, to prevent the fuel from separating, a process which starts from 8.0 °C (46.4 °F) and below. The following table sets out the ideal proportions to be added: Temperature Of -10 – 8 °C

% of fuel Diesel fuel 60%

Kerosene 40%

When topping up the engine, first add the kerosene (because it has a lower specific gravity than diesel fuel) and then the fuel, in order to achieve a uniform mixture.

7-17

7 - MAINTENANCE

Fuel storage Storing fuel for long periods of time can cause sediment, dirt, and condensation to build up. Many engine problems are linked to the presence of water or dirt in the fuel due to such prolonged storage periods.

To keep the fuel supplied in drums as pure as possible: 1. The storage tank should be placed outside and the fuel temperature kept as low as possible.

2. The drum support (trestle) must be placed in a location protected from the sun and gusts of wind.

3. The drum should be tilted in such a way that there is approximately 75 mmdifference in level, with the tap at the highest point to allow any water or impurities in the fuel to settle.

4. When you open the tap, you should not move the drum, in order to using fuel contaminated with impurities deposited as a result of the slope.

COIL15WEL0025AA

5. The drum should not be made of galvanized steel. You should never use container made of galvanized metal plate for fuel oil because the oil undergoes a chemical reaction when it comes into contact with the zinc coating, producing a viscous substance that clogs the filters and very quickly damages the pump and the injectors.

6. Drain off water and impurities regularly.

NOTICE: Because of the risk that such fuel could accidentally catch fire, anyone directly or indirectly connected with the transport, handling, or storage of diesel fuel must take the following additional precautions: A. In places where diesel fuel is stored, unloaded, and poured, there must be two fire extinguishers: one chemical powder ( 8 kgminimum) and one CO2– carbon dioxide gas ( 6 kgminimum). There must be visible signs that state "DO NOT SMOKE", "INFLAMMABLE", and "FIRE EXTINGUISHERS".

B. The fuel tank, lines, hoses and pumps must be kept in good condition for use and periodically checked for leaks, evaporation and operation by qualified personnel.

C. Engines and electrical switches must be of the type that do not produce sparks and be fitted as per the appropriate standards. Anti-static connections to earth must always be used for all the equipment involved (truck – tank, pumps, reservoirs, engines, etc.).

D. Reservoirs located inside sheds must have vents channelled to an area not covered by the roof, and at height of not less than 3,5 mabove the ground. There must be adequate ventilation at the site, in order to eliminate all fuel fumes. Metalworking, welding, and working with electricity or impact tools must be carried out as far as possible from the reservoirs.

7-18

7 - MAINTENANCE

Fuel reservoir WARNING Fuel vapors are explosive and flammable.

Do not smoke while handling fuel. Keep fuel away from flames or sparks. Shut off engine and remove key before servicing. Always work in a well-ventilated area. Clean up spilled fuel immediately.

Failure to comply could result in death or serious injury.

W0904A

NOTE: Every 500 hours of operation and with the fuel tank half-full, add 10%of the fuel tank capacity of additive to the fuel. Top up the tank. Move the machine to mix. See page 8-1for the additive specifications.

1. Fill the fuel tank at the end of each work day.

2. Fill the fuel tank completely to prevent condensation of water inside the tank.

3. Periodically check the condition of the screen on the fuel tank fill line when the tank is half full.

4. Remove the filler neck cap by twisting it counter-clockwise.

5. If you need to clean the screen, remove the tank fill line. Remove the screen.

6. Be sure to put the screen back before fitting the filler pipe.

7. Drain the water and sediments accumulated in the tank whenever you notice water in the filter glass, or every 500 hours of machine operation.

8. Loosen the drain plug and let the fuel flow out slowly until it is free of water.

NOTE: The fuel tank has a water drain as shown in the illustration.

Injection Pump The injection pump must be installed in the correct position for the engine to be able to work at its full potential.

Checking the injectors Impurities in the fuel system cause the injectors to malfunction, preventing the engine from working properly.

To check if the injectors are defective, start the engine. Increase the throttle to maximum speed. Then observe the removal of exhaust gases. If the machine releases black smoke at regular intervals, one or more of the injectors does not function properly. Repairs must be made.

Radiator • The cooling system operates under high pressure.

• Wear protective gloves. Remove the radiator cap slowly and only when the engine is cold. Otherwise, this could result in serious injury.

• The radiator is intended to cool the water under all conditions of operation.

• It is important that all of the internal and outer water passages are always unobstructed.

• The radiator cap should be replaced if the cap does not maintain the correct pressure of 0.7 bar (10.1 psi).

• This pressure is obtained with the radiator cap performing two functions. The first function is pressurization of the cooling system. This increases the boiling point of the water and reduces the amount of liquid lost by evaporation.

The second function is to maintain the pressure at the specified level (with the cover used as a relief valve).

• When internal system pressure exceeds 1.0 bar (14.7 psi), the calibrated spring of the cap will yield due to steam pressure. This will allow the excess to escape through the radiator overflow tube.

• Normally, when the engine is shut down, the water cools and contracts, forming a vacuum. This could damage the system.

• To remove this vacuum from the system, the cap has a second inlet valve for entry of air into the radiator.

Thermostat valve Regulation of the cooling system water temperature is carried out by the thermostatic valve.

When the engine is cold, the thermostatic valve prevents the water passage from the engine block to the radiator.

The water circulates only in the engine block.

When the coolant temperature reaches approximately 83.0 °C (181.4 °F), the thermostatic valve starts to open. The water can then circulate throughout the system.

Cooling fluid A mixture of 50%anti-freeze and 50%water must be used in this machine. This mixture is recommended for use in locations where minimum ambient temperatures are above –37 °C (–34 °F).

NOTE: If the ambient temperature is lower, adjust the composition of the mixture to 60%anti-freeze and 40%water.

You should use anti-freeze and water in your machine all year.

NOTE: After filling up the cooling system, start the engine and run it at operating temperature for approximately 5 minto mix the ethylene glycol and water well. You must perform this procedure when the machine is at temperatures below 0 °C (32 °F).

NOTICE: Hot coolant can spray out if radiator cap is removed. To remove the expansion tank cap, let the cooling system cool. Wear gloves and turn the cap to the first opening stage. Wait until the internal pressure has been 7-21

Protect stored filter elements from dust and moisture, avoiding agents that could damage them. The best way to store the replacement filters is in the vertical position, in their original packaging. Only use original CASE CONSTRUCTION filters NOTE: The service life of your front loader’s engine depends in large part on the condition of the air filters. As such, proper maintenance of the filters is crucial. Maintenance must be carried out as per the specifications and maintenance plan.

Check the ambient air intake lines, the clean air intake lines (connection hoses), and the ejector air filter lines monthly and after you service the air filter system.

Check the filter housing and the mounting cradle after air filter system maintenance.

Check the operation of the engine air filter restriction sensor every 250 hours of operation or more frequently (shorter periods) when you operate the machine in extreme conditions.

NOTE: To achieve the maximum permissible air intake tube blockage, the inlet duct opening must be closed slowly (for example: with a cardboard or a metal plate), while you keep the engine in operation, until the service indicator is activated. To avoid damage, the intake duct must not remain blocked once the service indicator has been activated.

Machine operation – in harsh environments (Corrosion protection) Technical information For product improvement and performance, the purpose of this instruction is to provide the corrosion protection procedures that must be performed in machines that work in very harsh environments, such as fertilizer application.

Corrosion protection All of the electrical connectors must be sealed completely with silicone. If, for any reason, the electrical connectors are disconnected, remove the silicone layer first. Re-connect the electrical connectors. Then apply a new layer of silicone.

Maintenance CASE CONSTRUCTION strives to use the best materials and processes to allow the machines to operate in harsh environments, such as applications in highly corrosive environments. Some operating environments, however, are too adverse for the available technology. CASE CONSTRUCTION thus recommends that you regularly perform the actions listed below to make sure that the machines operate satisfactorily for long periods and with low cost.

Perform daily When not in operation, park the machine in a dry, well-ventilated area.

Close the doors and windows of the cab during machine operation.

Activate the cab fan (if equipped) at medium speed to prevent corrosive material from entering the cab.

Cleaning Clean the radiator more frequently in the following conditions: • Very dusty environments • Operation with material that may cause any blockage • Operation with sticky material Alternator • Proceed to unblock and clean the alternator filter screen every 8 hours of operation • Disconnect the screen filter. Use compressed air to clean the screen filter. Never wash the alternator filter system piping with water and/or solvent.

• Do not use water jets directly on electronics (alternator, starter motor, electronic control unit, fuse compartments, and electrical wiring harnesses).

7-31

7 - MAINTENANCE

Perform weekly or every two weeks Cleaning • Wash the machine with cold water to remove any accumulation of corrosive material • Use water at a maximum pressure of 100 bar • Use compressed air to completely dry the machine Grease-up As soon as the machine is fully dry, perform the following steps: • Apply grease to all knuckle points • Apply grease or spray oil in all friction areas (cylinder rods, access cover hinges, and doors) Inspection Fuse compartment: • Inspect the inside of the fuse compartment • Apply silicone sealant to all unsealed terminals of the electrical connectors.

Other electrical connections: • Inspect the other sealed electrical connections for damage or corrosion Paintwork Inspect the paintwork of the entire machine for damage. Use the following procedure to repair the paintwork if the paintwork is damaged: • Parts with excess surface corrosion should be sandblasted • Wash the entire surface with "maximum pH 11" alkaline degreaser • Rinse with industrial water to remove any excess degreaser • Apply zinc or iron phosphate • Rinse with industrial water to remove the acidity of the phosphate • Apply Primer PPG (LT0045) and catalyst PPG (LT0001) at a proportion of 6:1 • Apply brown Top Coat Power Tan PPG (LT0003) and catalyst PPG (LT0001) at a proportion of 3:1 • Apply protective varnish PPG (2K DELFLEET) and catalyst PPG (F 369) at a proportion of 1:1 Cylinder rods • Use Tarp (Texaco) oil or Sea Guard protective wax on the cylinder rods, because the movement creates a protective layer

Perform monthly • Apply grease to all knuckle areas • Remove the corrosive substances accumulated inside the engine compartment

Fill the electrolyte level with pure distilled water as necessary to ensure the separators remain covered.

NOTE: The battery electrolyte level must be checked every 50 hours of operation or weekly, whichever comes first. Check the level more frequently (shorter periods) when you operate the machine in extreme conditions. The battery electrolyte level can decrease with high temperatures.

10. Check if the water consumption is at approximately 28.35 g, every 50 hours of operation.

NOTE: If it is greater, the battery box may have a leak or the voltage regulator may charge excessively. In such instances, adjustments must be made.

11. Always keep the battery charged, adhering to densimeter readings.

12. Ensure that the battery is firmly seated in its bracket.

NOTE: The battery cables must not come into contact with the connectors on the cells connectors or the battery bracket.

13. Keep the battery clean and dry.

14. Check if the battery does not hold the charge.

NOTE: Replace with a battery of the same type if necessary.

15. Take a reading from each cell using a densitometer every week and before topping up the electrolyte level.

NOTE: Each cell’s specific density reading must register total charge. The total charge will usually be indicated on the battery.

NOTE: A battery that has a reading of 1.175 will freeze at approximately -17.8 °C (0.0 °F).

16. Keep the battery covers clean and make sure that their ventilation holes are not blocked.

17. Check the batteries and their performance regularly for dirt, corrosion, and damage.

NOTE: Dirt mixed with the electrolyte or humidity on top of the batteries can cause premature discharge.

Electrolyte specific density check NOTE: Use a densimeter to check the specific density of the battery's electrolyte. The specific density of the electrolyte indicates the approximate level of battery charge. Densimeters offer a correct reading when the temperature of the electrolyte is 26.7 °C (80.1 °F). To obtain the correct specific density value, you will need to know the temperature of the electrolyte. Some densimeters are equipped with a thermometer. If your densimeter is not equipped with a thermometer, a separate thermometer will be required to check the temperature of the electrolyte.

1.

Remove the electrolyte of one of the battery cells using a densimeter.

2.

Check the densimeter reading and note it down.

3.

Make sure to secure the densimeter in the vertical position, in addition to keeping the float free.

4.

Take the densimeter reading at eye level.

5.

Check the temperature of the battery's electrolyte.

6.

Then, add or subtract four density points for each 5 °C (41.0 °F) above or below 27 °C (80.6 °F).

7.

Thus, you will be able to establish the precise condition of the battery cell.

8.

Repeat the procedures for all of the battery cells.

2. The battery will be in good condition if the specific density of the cells falls between 1,200 and 1,260 points, or when the difference between the cells of highest and lowest density is lower than 30 points.

NOTE: Charge the battery before placing it in use.

3. Fully charge the battery if the specific density of the cells falls between 1,200 and 1,260 points, or when the difference in the specific density between the cells of highest and lowest density is 30 points or more.

4. Check specific density again.

5. If having fully charged the battery the difference in specific density is 30 points or more, the battery is defective.

6. In such cases, replace it.

Electrolyte Level The battery electrolyte level must be checked every 50 hours of operation or weekly, whichever comes first.

Check the level more frequently (shorter periods) when you operate the machine in extreme conditions. The battery electrolyte level can decrease with high temperatures.

7-127

7 - MAINTENANCE

Addition of water Unless the tap water in your region is “approved” (free from scale-causing minerals), always add distilled water to the battery.

When adding water during very cold periods, the battery must be charged immediately in order to mix the water with the electrolyte. If it is not mixed, the water will remain above the electrolyte and it will freeze.

When a larger amount of water is added than is necessary, the battery's temperature will increase or voltage regulator regulations will increase.

On the other hand, when a smaller amount of water is added than is necessary, the battery will not charge adequately. This may result in poor cable connections or very low voltage regulator regulations.

Precautions for cold periods As the air temperature falls, the battery's performance and capacity drops. In fact, the battery will be weakened by the cold and the starter motor will not be engaged as quickly or for as long as during hot periods.

Given that starting a diesel engine is directly dependent on starter motor rotations, at speeds high enough to result in the self-ignition of diesel fuel, the importance of keeping the batteries well charged, in order to start-up the engine during cold weather, cannot be stressed enough.

Breather plugs Always keep the breather plugs in the correct place and properly tightened. Make sure that the breather holes are unplugged to prevent the gas pressure in the cells breaking the seal or box.

Cable and posts terminals The battery cable terminals must always be kept clean and properly tightened to the corresponding posts. A good way of cleaning the terminals and posts is to remove all excess corrosive material with a steel brush before washing them with a weak bicarbonate of soda and ammonia solution. After cleaning, apply a fine layer of petroleum jelly or a fine grease in order to delay the formation of new corrosion. Make sure that the grounding connection is firmly tightened.
