Case CX135SR, CX75SR, CX80, CX75SR-LR 2010 Operators Manual

If you’re running one of these Tieru202f3 crawler excavators—Case CX135SR, CX75SR, CX80, CX75SR-LR—and you don’t have the factory Operators Manual in the cab, you’re asking for trouble. I’ve seen guys try to guess the control layout on a job site and end up with a boom through a wall. This is the 2010 edition, printu202fno.u202fLepu202f84336178, 4th edition, 321 pages of the exact instructions Case wrote for these machines.

Pageu202f3 breaks down the safety decal system—Danger (RED for immediate death), Warning (ORANGE for serious injury), Caution (YELLOW for minor injury). That’s not grammar; that’s the difference between walking away and loading into an ambulance. The manual also tells you that the safety alert symbol means you stop and read the message. Every operator on your crew should read pageu202f3 before they touch the hydraulic levers.

Safety Decals – Read Them Twice

The manual spells out exactly what each decal means. Upper panel shows the danger. Lower panel tells you how to avoid it. Background is yellow, prohibition symbols are red. CASE uses the ISO standard. If you’re running a CX75SR‑LR with a longer reach, the decal locations might differ—the manual covers that. Skip this section and you’re operating blind.

321 Pages of Factory-Specified Procedure

321 pages. That’s not a quick-read pamphlet. The manual covers daily checks, instrument panel, controls, cold‑weather operation, and proper shut‑down sequences. It’s written for the guy who has to make this machine earn money without breaking it. Need the proper way to start the CX135SR after a cold night? It’s in there. Want the track adjustment procedure for the CX80? Same place. No guesswork, just printed instructions from the factory.

Operator Qualifications – Don’t Skip This

Pageu202f3 also lists the responsibilities every operator must meet before pulling a lever. The manual says: every operator must be instructed in safe and proper use, read and understand the manuals, read all safety decals, clear the area, and practice controls in a safe area. That’s not a suggestion—it’s printed in the manual. I’ve worked with techs who ignored that and paid for it with finger damage. This manual gives you the same language CASE uses in dealer training.

Control Layout and Daily Walk‑Around

The manual walks you through the cab controls for each model—CX75SR, CX75SR‑LR, CX80, CX135SR. Joystick patterns, travel pedals, blade control (if equipped), and instrument cluster. It also includes the pre‑start walk‑around checklist. Missing that step can lead to bent dipper arms or thrown tracks. I know a guy who skipped fluid levels and tore up a swing gear. One read of this manual would have prevented it.

Source Validity – OEM, Not Aftermarket Copy

This is the original CASE print, English, Juneu202f2010. Replaces Lepu202f84173693. Copyrightu202f©u202f2010 CNH France S.A. It’s a direct scan of the dealer‑distributed manual, not a third‑party rewrite. Aftermarket PDFs often leave out the safety decal meaning or fudge the hydraulic oil specs. This one has the same torque tables, fluid capacities, and warnings that come with a new machine from the factory.

FAQ

Is this a reprint of something I can get free online?

No. This is the factory PDF, exactly as CASE released it.

What if I need the hydraulic pressure test procedure for the CX135SR?

The manual doesn’t include a full service repair procedure—that’s what the service manual is for. But it does list the control patterns, safety cutout locations, and daily fluid checks. For pressure testing, you’ll want Case CX135SR 2004 Service Manual – Section: Engine Service Manual or the matching CASE CX75SR CX80 2004 Service Manual. If you own a CX135SR from 2011, the CASE CX135SR 2011 Operator’s Manual covers later production changes. The operators manual gets you through daily operation and basic troubleshooting. For deeper drivetrain work, refer to a Manual Transmission rebuild guide or the equivalent Manual Transmission section in the service manual.

You’ve got a 321‑page factory document that tells you exactly how to run and maintain your Case CX135SR, CX75SR, CX80, or CX75SR‑LR without turning it into a salvage pile. Access the Factory Manual now and put it in the machine before someone gets hurt.
