![]() ![]() A single lever that controls direction and steering includes push-button speed control for easy speed and direction changes. By turning with continuous power you’re able to keep a full blade of material throughout the turn, increasing productivity.” Case K Series dozers can counter-rotate within the length of the machine by tilting the lever right or left in neutral, providing the ultimate in maneuverability. The amount that one track slows, the other track speeds up. “You have the ability to infinitely adjust the turn. “You can get 100 percent of the torque to either side,” Schaefer said. One hydrostatic motor and planetary gear powers the tracks at variable speeds during turns for smooth, responsive steering. “That translates directly to enhanced productivity.” K Series dozers can easily negotiate varying site conditions with its innovative hydrostatic PowerSteer system, which features single-lever control of direction and steering. “These features mean the operator focuses less on managing the machine and more on managing the job at hand,” said Rusty Schaefer, marketing manager at Case Construction Equipment. It automatically selects first speed for forward and second speed for reverse when making direction change. The smooth power-shift transmission features an Auto-Load mode that downshifts automatically when the workload increases. Torque multiplication provides maximum drawbar pull of up to 48,000 lb-ft (218 kN) on the 1650K and 64,100 lb-ft (285 kN) on the 1850K. Blade capacities range from 4.1 cubic yards (3.2 cubic metres) on the 1650K to 7.4 cubic yards (5.6 cubic metres) on the 1850K. The 1650K delivers 145 hp (108 kW), 428 lb-ft of torque (580 N-m) and 118 inches (2990 mm) of track on ground. The 1850K crawler dozer provides up to 205 hp (153 kW), 671 lb-ft of torque (909 N-m) and 126 inches (3200 mm) of track on ground. Check brakes, steering and attachment controls before moving.The new K Series of crawler dozers from Case includes two models. Before operating a machine, always ensure that any unsafe condition has been repaired. STARTING NEVER START OR OPERATE AN UNSAFE MACHINE. If there are signs of wear or fraying or other signs of weakness that could lead to failure, replace it. ![]() Check the seat safety belt at least twice a year. Do not leave the machine until it is completely stopped. Wear safety boots or shoes that have a high slip resistant sole material. ![]() Be careful of slippery conditions on stepping points, hand rails, and on the ground. Keep head, body, limbs, hands and feet inside operator's compartment at all times, to reduce exposure to hazards outside the operator's compartment. Never attempt to operate the machine or its tools from any position other than seated in the operator's seat. Also, controls may be inadvertently moved causing accidental machine or equipment movement. Hoses and controls are movable and do not provide a solid support. Do not use controls or hoses as hand holds when climbing on or off machine. Keep two hands and one foot, or two feet and one hand in contact with step, grab rails and handles at all times. Clean mud or grease from shoes before attempting to mount or operate the machine. Keep operator's compartment, stepping points, grab-rails and handles clear of foreign objects, oil, grease, mud or snow accumulation to minimise the danger of slipping or stumbling. Consult your employer for specific safety equipment requirements. Examples: hard hat, heavy gloves, ear protection, safety glasses or goggles, reflector vests, respirator. Wear proper safety equipment as recommended for the job. Do not wear rings, wrist watches, jewellery, loose or hanging apparels, such as ties, torn clothing, scarves, unbuttoned or unzipped jackets that can catch on moving parts. Do not operate the machine if not feeling well or fatiqued. Do not allow unauthorised personnel to operate service or maintain this machine. Read and heed all safety rules before any intervention.
