Part of the Case Operator Manuals.
All 94 pages of this Case Hydraulic Excavator Operator Manual (OEM #9-8670) cover the 60 CL, 75 CL, 90 CL, 90 CK, and 115 CL — if you've been hunting for the Case 115 operator manual PDF, this is it. Inside: a full cab controls section mapping every pedal, lever, and flow selector position, plus a dedicated control panel walkthrough explaining what each warning light means before you ever turn the key. You also get running-in schedules at 20, 60, and 1000 metered hours, maintenance intervals, fluid recommendations, and working range charts for loader, backhoe, and clamshell configurations. Clean standard air filtration every 10 hours; replace hydraulic fluid filter cartridges when warning light 5 stays lit on the panel. Your machine is down. Bookmarked by section, it opens on any device: grab your phone, walk to the cab, and get the right answer on the first try.

Case 60–160 Common Problems This Manual Covers
Case excavator battery charging warning light on, machine cranks slowly or won't start p. 73
Check battery cell electrolyte every 100 hours. Each cell must sit 10 to 15 mm above the plates (page 73). With the engine off, press the alternator belt midway with your thumb; it should deflect about 6 mm. If the charging warning light on page 28 stays lit after these checks, inspect fuses on page 71.
Manual Section: Electrical ComponentsAir filter clogging warning light 3 on control panel, power loss during digging p. 57
Service the air filter cartridge when warning light 3 comes on. Remove the element and blow compressed air from inside out at no more than 7 bars (page 53). Replace the cartridge after six cleanings or every year. Clean the standard filtration element every 10 hours (page 57) to stay ahead of clogging.
Manual Section: EngineHydraulic fluid filter warning light stays lit, bucket and arm cycle times feel slow p. 64
Replace hydraulic fluid filter cartridges when warning light 5 on the control panel stays lit (page 64). On 115 and 160 models, also clean suction filters every 200 hours. Replace the breather plug filter every 1000 hours, or every 500 hours under dusty working conditions. Check hydraulic tank level after any filter service before restarting.
Manual Section: Hydraulic ComponentsEngine won't start or hard to start after fuel system drained or machine sat idle p. 54
Bleed and prime the fuel circuit after any standstill, drain, or cartridge replacement; air in the lines is the most common no-start cause in these situations. Verify the fuel filter is current; it must be replaced every 200 hours (page 54). On 60, 75, 90, 115, and 160 models, clean the injection pump filter every 100 working hours.
Manual Section: EngineEngine temperature warning light on, machine runs hotter than normal during work p. 28
Stop work immediately when the warning light comes on. Shut the engine down at low idle. Check coolant and hydraulic oil levels before restarting. Inspect the hydraulic cooler and radiator fins for mud or debris blockage; cleaning schedules are on page 46. Engine oil filter must also be replaced every 200 hours (page 47) to maintain proper heat transfer.
Manual Section: Control PanelFrequently Asked Questions
What are the recommended service intervals?
The manual provides a detailed maintenance schedule. For instance, engine oil level should be checked every 10 hours, while the oil itself is drained every 100 hours and its filter replaced every 200 hours. Hydraulic fluid level is also a 10-hour check, but the complete hydraulic circuit drainage is recommended every 2000 hours. The breather plug filter should be replaced every 1000 hours, or every 500 hours in dusty conditions.
What fluids and capacities does this machine require?
The machine requires specific fluids and capacities depending on the model. For engine oil, models 90-115-160 require 17 L, while model 60 needs 9 L. The fuel tank capacity ranges from 114 L for model 60 to 410 L for model 160. The hydraulic system uses POCLAIN HYDRAULIC FLUID, with total circuit capacities from 145 L (model 60) to 400 L (model 160).
How to troubleshoot engine won't start?
If the engine won't start, first check if the battery is discharged or if cables are badly connected, and recharge/repair as needed. Ensure the shut-down control is fully pushed back. If the engine fails to start, verify the fuel tank isn't empty and that the feed pump filter or fuel filter cartridge isn't clogged, cleaning or replacing them as necessary. Also, check for air in the fuel supply lines and tighten all connections.
What are the hydraulic system specifications?
The hydraulic system operates with a maximum operating pressure of 320 bar and a maximum effort pressure of 400 bar. Flow rates vary by model, for example, the 60 model has 81 l/min, while the 160 model ranges from 46 to 276 l/min. Hydraulic reservoir capacities range from 100 L for the 60 model to 300 L for the 160 model, with total circuit capacities from 145 L to 400 L respectively.
What torque specifications are listed?
The manual lists torque characteristics for the hydraulic swing motor, with values such as 3100 m.daN for the 75 model, 3350 m.daN for the 90 model, 5280 m.daN for the 115 model, and 6900 m.daN for the 160 model. For the oil filter, it instructs to screw it by hand until the seal bears well, then tighten by another half-turn, but no specific torque value is provided.
