Case WX155ESR, WX175ESR Wheeled Excavator Operators Manual

These Case WX155ESR and WX175ESR wheeled excavators usually live on road jobs, utility work, and tight urban sites where you’re moving between cuts and lifting around traffic and buried services. This operator’s manual helps you run the machine the way it was intended—how to set up the controls, start and shut down correctly, and do your daily walk‑arounds so you don’t cook a hydraulic pump or flat‑spot a tire through bad habits. If, for example, the machine won’t move after transport or the boom feels jumpy on startup, this is what I’d grab first to verify the operating sequence and basic checks before calling in a laptop.

Applications & Use Cases

• Confirm proper startup/shutdown steps so you don’t stress the engine, turbo, or hydraulic system.
• Learn what each control and switch does to avoid accidental boom or swing movement in tight spaces.
• Follow daily inspection routines to trace leaks, loose wheels, or cracked attachments before they fail on the job.
• Verify travel and steering settings when moving between worksites or loading on a trailer.
• Check correct use of work modes to match power to the task and avoid unnecessary fuel burn and wear.

FAQ

Q: Can I keep this manual on a tablet in the cab?

A: Yes, just make sure it’s saved offline so you can zoom diagrams and read procedures even without a signal.

Q: Is it worth printing certain pages?

A: I’d print the startup/shutdown sequence and daily checks and keep them in a plastic sleeve right in the cab.

Safety Note

Always follow the manual’s safety instructions and lockout steps before inspecting, greasing, or working around the machine.
