Part of the Case Operator Manuals.
All 230 pages of this Case CX130, CX160 Operator Manual (OEM #BD00M211) put factory operating knowledge directly in your hands for both mid-size excavators. Inside: a full safety chapter covering utility hazards, burn prevention, and fire risk before you ever touch a lever, plus a controls section that maps every cab switch, display panel, and optional joystick pattern. Open to the operations section for cold-weather start sequences, slope work procedures, water operation limits, and load-handling guidance; the specs pages deliver fluid capacities and lifting charts by model. Top the 10.2-litre engine oil sump at every filter change, fill the cooling system to 17.7 litres, and inspect the primary air filter every 250 hours or when the restriction indicator turns red. Your machine is down and the answer is in here. Bookmarks get you to any section in one tap; pull it up on your tablet and start wrenching.
