DESCRIPTION OF THE MAIN COMPONENTS

The CX700 is an all hydraulic machine. It consists of an undercarriage fitted with tracks and a turntable
bearing which supports the upperstructure frame. The upperstructure frame supports the attachment, at the
front end of the machine, plus the engine, hydraulics and cab. When the operator works the controls, the
engine-driven pump delivers hydraulic fluid to the control valves. The control valves distribute the hydraulic
fluid to the various cylinders and motors concerned. A cooling system maintains the hydraulic fluid at normal
operating temperature.

Whenever load handling operations are to be carried out, it is imperative to adhere strictly to the instructions
given in this manual and local legislation.
When lifting a load (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 system or device may be substituted for CASE safety valves when load handling.
When handling loads, be sure to do the following:
- Park the machine on a flat, firm, level surface.
- Use the load fixing point (load handling eye) located on the bucket control rod, (see "Load handling eye", in
section 4). It is forbidden to weld hooks or lugs on the bottom plate of buckets.
- Use slings and chains which are in perfect condition, suitable for lifting the load to be handled and fitted with
safety type hooks that will not accidentally open.
- 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".

covered by the guarantee. To avoid any damage
to the engine fuel supply system, you are
recommended to take the following safety
messages into account:
- Certain fuel suppliers mix used engine oil with
diesel fuel. Certain manufacturers of large engines
allow them to do this. In all cases, for your engine,
never use diesel fuel contaminated by engine oil. In
addition to damaging the engine, this fuel can
actually adversely affect the correct purification of
exhaust gases. Before using any diesel fuel, ask the
supplier if this fuel has been mixed with engine oil.

down, turn the cap to the first notch and wait until
there is no more pressure. Then remove the cap.
COOLANT SOLUTION
Put only ethylene-glycol coolant solution in the
cooling system. Use good quality ethylene-glycol
that has a high boiling point, with no additives to
prevent leakage. Do not use non-approved anti-rust
additives. Anti-rust additives and ethylene-glycol
can mix and work against each other, thereby
reducing anti-corrosion protection, forming deposits
in the cooling system and causing damage to the
cooling system and radiator.
Consult your CASE Dealer for suitable coolant
solution.
LEVEL
The level of coolant solution should be checked
when the engine is cold.
On flat, level ground, before using the machine

CHANGING THE HYDRAULIC FLUID AND FILTERS WHEN A HYDRAULIC BREAKER (optional) IS
USED
Hydraulic fluid
- When using the hydraulic breaker, hydraulic fluid
deteriorates more quickly than during ordinary
digging. Check the hydraulic fluid level more
frequently. In addition, when changing the filters,
also check the condition of the hydraulic fluid.
- Using the following graph as a reference,
determine the intervals for changing the hydraulic
fluid and filters, depending on the frequency of use
of the hydraulic breaker.
- When changing filters, change the return filter for
the hydraulic breaker also.

15 mm above the plates. Add distilled water if
necessary, then install the cell caps.
IMPORTANT: When adding distilled water at
temperatures below 0°C, the batteries must be
charged or the engine run for two hours
approximately in order to ensure that the distilled
water and the electrolyte are properly mixed.
NOTE: Make sure the battery terminals are clean
and coated with grease and that the cables are
properly tightened. CP99A022
