Part of the Case Repair Manuals.
Case 686G, 686GXR and 688G telescopic handlers all work from this 636-page factory service manual, form 7-16041, which follows the machine from the diesel engine out to the boom wear pads. This Case 686G, 688G service manual PDF pairs electrical and hydraulic schematics with troubleshooting charts for the engine, steering, brakes and boom, so you can trace a fault from the steering priority valve through to the tilt compensation cylinder. Nearly a quarter of the book goes to the T12000 powershift transmission, including clutch engagement and converter stall checks, and the Type 212 drive axle gets its own long section down to the planetary reduction and differential. Refill the transmission with 12.9 liters (13.6 quarts); run a 1/2 inch Grade 8 bolt to 110 to 132 pound-feet. A made-up torque figure lets go under load. Bookmarks and a live text layer let you pin down the right seal or bearing before calling the parts counter, so you order it once.
