Lubricant Viscosities
SMCS Code: 1000; 7000; 7581

The proper viscosity grade is determined by the minimum outside temperature when the machine is started. The proper
viscosity grade is also determined by the maximum outside temperature while the machine is operated. Use the column
that is entitled "Min" on the table to determine the viscosity grade that is required for starting a cold machine and for
operating a cold machine. Use the column that is entitled "Max" on the table to select the viscosity grade for operating
the machine at the highest temperature that is anticipated. Use the highest viscosity oil that is allowed for the temperature
when you start the machine.

Machines that are continuously operated should use the higher viscosity oils in the final drives and differentials in order
to maintain the highest possible oil film thickness. Consult your dealer if additional information is needed.

9. After all the circle shoes (9) have been adjusted, check the circle shoes (9) for proper clearance. If necessary, perform
adjustments to the circle shoes (9).

Note: After all the adjustments have been performed, the blade circle (1) must rotate freely without binding.

Circle Pinion and Circle


Note: The engagement of the circle pinion and the circle teeth is determined by the adjustment of the circle shoes. Clean
the circle and the pinion. Remove any dirt and any abrasive material. This will reduce wear to the circle pinion and to the
circle teeth. Also, this will improve the accuracy of the adjustment of the circle shoes. After the adjustment, apply clean
lubricant to the circle pinion and to the circle teeth.

1. Rotate the blade. Place the blade at an angle of 90 degrees to the frame. Lower the blade to the ground. As you slowly
inch the machine in a forward direction, apply the service brake. This will hold a light load between the wear strips for
the front circle shoes and the circle. Engage the parking brake. Stop the engine.

Illustration 200

2. Measure the clearance that is between the bottom flange of pinion (10) and the inner machined surface of circle (1). If
the clearance is less than 49.5 to 52.5 mm (1.95 to 2.07 inch), then adjust the clearance.

3. Loosen shoe mounting fastener (4), shoe mounting fastener (5), shoe mounting fastener (6) and locknuts (11) on the
front circle shoes.

4. Loosen the shoe mounting fasteners and the locknuts for the rear circle shoes.

5. Loosen the shoe mounting fasteners and the locknuts for the side circle shoes, if equipped.

6. Adjust the front circle shoes one at a time. Turn the adjusting bolts (12) inward or turn the adjusting bolts (12)
outward in order to attain 49.5 to 52.5 mm (1.95 to 2.07 inch). Adjust the other front circle shoe.

Note: If the circle shoes are moved outward, it may be necessary to slowly inch the machine in a forward direction in
order to place a light load between the wear strips for the front circle shoes and the circle.

Note: Adjust the front shoes so that the front circle shoes have the same clearance measurement.

7. If you cannot attain the correct clearance measurement due to worn front shoe wear strips (7), replace the worn shoe
wear strips (7). Then, repeat Step 6.

8. Tighten the shoe mounting fasteners and locknuts for the front circle shoes.

Note: The adjusting bolts must be tight against the circle shoes before you tighten the mounting fasteners and the
locknuts.

9. Set all of the circle shoes (front, side and rear) to contact the circle. There will be no clearance between the circle
shoes and the circle.

10. Tighten all shoe mounting fasteners (4), shoe mounting fasteners (5) and all shoe mounting fasteners (6) to a torque
of 475 ± 60 N·m (350 ± 44 lb ft).

11. Tighten all locknuts (11) to a torque of 200 ± 30 N·m (150 ± 22 lb ft).

SMCS Code: 1308-507; 3004-507; 3067-507; 5068-507

Inspect A Used Filter for Debris

Illustration 287

The element is shown with debris.

Use a 4C-5084 Filter Cutter to cut the filter element open. Spread apart the pleats and inspect the element for metal and
for other debris. An excessive amount of debris in the filter element can indicate a possible failure.

If metals are found in the filter element, a magnet can be used to differentiate between ferrous metals and nonferrous
metals.

Ferrous metals can indicate wear on steel parts and on cast iron parts.

Nonferrous metals can indicate wear on the aluminum parts of the engine such as main bearings, rod bearings, or
turbocharger bearings.

Small amounts of debris may be found in the filter element. This could be caused by friction and by normal wear.
Consult your Caterpillar dealer in order to arrange for further analysis if an excessive amount of debris is found.

Using an oil filter element that is not recommended by Caterpillar can result in severe engine damage to engine bearings,
to the crankshaft, and to other parts. This can result in larger particles in unfiltered oil. The particles could enter the
lubricating system and the particles could cause damage.

Cooling System Coolant Additive (DEAC) - Add


SMCS Code: 1352-045; 1352-535; 1352-544; 1395-081

Personal injury can result from hot coolant, steam and alkali.

At operating temperature, engine coolant is hot and under


pressure. The radiator and all lines to heaters or the engine
contain hot coolant or steam. Any contact can cause severe
burns.

Remove cooling system pressure cap slowly to relieve pressure


only when engine is stopped and cooling system pressure cap is
cool enough to touch with your bare hand.

Do not attempt to tighten hose connections when the coolant is


hot, the hose can come off causing burns.

Cooling System Coolant Additive contains alkali. Avoid contact


with skin and eyes.

See the appropriate topics in your machine's Operation and Maintenance Manual for all cooling system requirements.

Use 8T-5296 Test Group to check the concentration of the Diesel Engine Antifreeze/Coolant DEAC.

If necessary, add cooling system coolant additive.

Do not exceed the recommended six percent cooling system coolant


additive concentration. Excessive cooling system coolant additive
concentration can form deposits on the higher temperature surfaces
of the cooling system, reducing the engine's heat transfer
characteristics. Reduced heat transfer could cause cracking of the
cylinder head and other high temperature components. Excessive
cooling system coolant additive concentration could also result in
radiator tube blockage, overheating, and/or accelerated water

pump seal wear. Never use both liquid cooling system coolant
additive and the spin-on element (if equipped) at the same time.
The use of those additives together could result in cooling system
coolant additive concentration exceeding the recommended six
percent maximum.

1. Stop the engine and allow the engine to cool.

Illustration 215

2. Open the cover. Remove the cooling system pressure cap slowly in order to relieve the pressure.

3. Drain some coolant from the radiator into a suitable container. This will allow space for additional cooling system
coolant additive.

Note: Always discard drained fluids according to local regulations.

4. Add 0.24 L (.50 pint) of cooling system coolant additive for every 38 L (10 US gal) of engine cooling capacity.

5. Install the cooling system pressure cap. Close the cover.

Engine Valve Lash - Check


SMCS Code: 1105-535

The initial valve lash adjustment is recommended at the first scheduled oil change. The valve lash adjustment should
then be made at every 2000 hour interval. The adjustment is necessary due to the initial wear of the valve train
components and to the seating of the valve train components.

This maintenance is recommended by Caterpillar as part of a lubrication and preventive maintenance schedule in order
to help provide maximum engine life.

Only qualified service personnel should perform this maintenance.


Refer to the Service Manual or your Caterpillar dealer for the
complete valve lash adjustment procedure.

Operation of Caterpillar engines with improper valve adjustments


can reduce engine efficiency. This reduced efficiency could result in
excessive fuel usage and/or shortened engine component life.

Ensure that the engine can not be started while this maintenance
is being performed. To help prevent possible injury, do not use
the starting motor to turn the flywheel.

Hot engine components can cause burns. Allow additional time


for the engine to cool before measuring/adjusting valve lash
clearance.

Ensure that the engine is stopped before measuring the valve lash. To obtain an accurate measurement, allow the valves
to cool before this maintenance is performed.

Refer to the Service Manual for more information.

Engine Oil Pressure


SMCS Code: 1924

Illustration 58

Follow all of the steps in this procedure to obtain a usable oil pressure reading.

1. Be sure that the engine is filled to the correct level with SAE 10W-30 oil. The engine oil pressure graph will not be
accurate if incorrect viscosity oil is used.

2. Remove the oil pressure switch. Connect the 1U-5470 Engine Pressure Group to the main oil manifold. Use the
connection at the oil pressure switch location (1).

3. Run the engine. Allow the engine oil temperature to rise to 99°C (210°F).

Note: A 3°C (5°F) increase in engine oil temperature gives a 7 kPa (1 psi) decrease in engine oil pressure.

Note: Make sure that the engine oil does not rise above a temperature of 115°C (239°F).

4. Keep the engine oil temperature consistent with the engine at the engine's rated rpm and read the pressure gauge.

5. Use the engine rpm and the oil pressure to locate an intersection on the engine oil pressure graph.

Illustration 59

6. The results should fall within the acceptable area of the graph. If the results are not acceptable, find the cause of the
problem and correct the problem. Engine failure or a reduction in engine life can be the result of continued operation
with oil pressure that is outside of the acceptable range.

Note: Keep a record of engine oil pressure at regular intervals. The records can indicate possible engine problems or
damage. A sudden increase or a sudden decrease of 70 kPa (10 psi) in oil pressure should be inspected, even within the
acceptable range of the engine oil pressure graph.

(9) Primary fuel filter (if equipped)

(10) Pressure relief valve

(11) Fuel tank

Fuel from fuel tank (11) is pulled through an in-line screen (1) by fuel transfer pump (3). The fuel transfer pump is
integral with the governor. Fuel is sent from the fuel transfer pump through the pressure relief valve (10). The pressure
relief valve is closed in normal operation. Fuel will enter through fuel filter (9) to a drilled passage in the cylinder head
(6). Once the pressure of the fuel is greater than the desired range then the pressure relief valve will open. This will allow
the fuel to return to the tank. The drilled passage in the cylinder head intersects a gallery around each unit injector in
order to provide a continuous flow of fuel to all injectors.

When there is air on the inlet side of the fuel system, fuel priming pump (A) (if equipped) may be used in order to fill the
fuel filter and the fuel gallery that is in the cylinder head. This is performed before the engine is started. When the
priming pump is used, check valves that are located in the fuel priming pump control the movement of the fuel. The fuel
is forced through the low pressure side of the fuel system. This removes air from the fuel lines and components back into
the fuel tank.

The fuel transfer pump is located in the front housing of the governor. The pump is activated by camshaft (8) that is
attached to the shaft of the governor drive gear. Piston assembly (4) and tappet assembly (7) are stroked up and down by
the camshaft and spring (3).

file://C:\SIS\TMP\sis2F1prt.html 7/22/2008
Copyright 1991, 2008 Caterpillar Inc. All Rights Reserved. Page 5 of 15

Fuel enters the transfer pump through screen (1) (if equipped) and inlet check valve (2). On the upstroke of piston
assembly (4), check valve (2) closes. Outlet check valve (5) closes in order to prevent fuel from being pulled back in the
pump from the outlet. As pressure increases above piston assembly (4), piston check valve (6) opens in order to fill the
cavity above the piston assembly.

On the downstroke, as the fuel pressure in passage (9) increases, piston check valve (6) is closed and outlet check valve
(5) is opened. This causes fuel to be pushed through the secondary fuel filter and to the engine. Inlet check valve (2)
opens in order to allow fuel to fill the cavity above piston assembly (4).

During engine shutdown, the check valves are held closed by springs.

The fuel injection pump (unit injector) allows a small amount of fuel to be injected at the proper time into the
combustion chamber. The fuel that is supplied to fuel gallery (10) surrounds each unit injector. Each of these galleries
are connected by a drilled passage in the cylinder head. This passage provides a continuous flow of fuel to all unit
injectors.

The unit injector is isolated from the coolant passages by sleeve (11). The sleeve also provides the seating surface for the
unit injector.

Injection timing is determined by the angular location of camshaft (14) and the vertical location of plunger (6) in barrel
(9). The camshaft gear and the crankshaft gear mesh together at the front of the engine in order to achieve the angular
location of the camshaft. The location of the plunger (fuel timing) is adjusted by setscrew (2).

The profile of the camshaft is sent to rocker arm (1) by lifter (13) and pushrod (5), as the camshaft rotates. The motion of
rocker arm (1) is then sent to plunger (6) through the floating button (3).

(21) Check (needle valve)

At the top of the plunger's stroke, fuel from fuel gallery (10) enters the unit injector around the edges of sleeve filter
(16). The fuel then fills the volume below plunger (6).

During the plunger's downward motion, fuel beneath the plunger is displaced into the gallery through the two ports in
barrel (9). As upper port (19) is closed by the bottom edge of the plunger, fuel continues to be displaced through lower
port (18). When the lower port is closed, effective stroke begins. The fuel inside the unit injector becomes pressurized by
the continued downward movement of the plunger. When the fuel pressure is sufficient to open check (21), high pressure
fuel will be forced through orifices at the bottom of the nozzle into the combustion chamber. This will continue until
upper port (19) is uncovered by helix (17) on the plunger. At this instant, effective stroke ends and this high pressure fuel
will spill through upper port (19) into the gallery. This will allow spring (20) to close check (21), which will end the
injection cycle.

The downward motion of the plunger will continue until lifter (13) reaches the nose of the camshaft. The plunger will be
returned upward by tappet spring (4). This will allow the cavity under the plunger to be refilled from the fuel in the
gallery. The unit injector is now ready for the next cycle.

In addition to vertical motion, the plunger can rotate with respect to barrel (9) by gear (15). The gear slides in order to
allow vertical movement of the plunger and the gear meshes with rack (7). The rotation of the gear changes the
relationship between helix (17) and upper port (19). The amount of fuel that is injected into each combustion chamber
then changes. For example, if rack (7) is moved to the right, then plunger (6) will rotate CCW. (This movement is
viewed from the top.) The distance between the bottom end of the plunger and helix (17) then increases with respect to
upper port (19). The effective stroke is increased and more fuel is injected into the combustion chamber.

The rack control linkage connects the governor output to unit injector (11) at each cylinder. The governor output shaft is
pinned to link (9). The link is connected to lever assembly (10). When the governor demands more fuel, link (9) and
lever assembly (10) cause rotation of shaft (3) and clamps (6). Shaft (3) and clamps (6) are rotated in a FUEL ON (A)
direction. Each clamp then pushes lever (1) as the shaft rotates. Rack (4) is pulled by lever (1). This will allow more fuel

file://C:\SIS\TMP\sis2F1prt.html 7/22/2008

to be injected into the cylinder.

When the governor requires less fuel, link (9) causes rotation of shaft (3) and clamps (6). Shaft (3) and clamps (6) are
rotated in a FUEL OFF (B) direction. Lever (1) is forced to rotate clockwise by torsion spring (2). This will push rack (4)
toward the shutoff position. A torsion spring is located at each unit injector. This allows the rack control linkage to go to
the shutoff position, even if one fuel injector rack is stuck open.

The power setting of the unit injector for the No. 1 cylinder is made with fuel setting screw (8) in clamp assembly (7).
As fuel setting screw (8) is turned, shaft (3) rotates to a new position with respect to link (9) and lever assembly (10).
Adjusting screws (8) allow synchronization of the injectors to the unit injector of the No. 1 cylinder.

Governor
The governor transfers the operator's requirements to the fuel injector rack control linkage. The governor receives the
desired engine speed by the position of the throttle. The governor output shaft immediately moves when the throttle is
moved. The motion of the governor output shaft will cause the fuel injector rack control linkage to rotate. This will move
the fuel injector racks. The change in the position of the fuel injector rack will cause a change in the speed of the engine.
As the speed of the engine changes, the governor will adjust the amount of fuel that is delivered. This will cause the
engine to stabilize at the rpm that corresponds to the throttle position. For further information, refer to, SENR6454,
"3114 ,3116, and 3126 Governor Service Manual".

Fuel Ratio Control

The turbocharged engine uses a fuel ratio control (FRC) in order to control smoke during acceleration at low boost
levels. The FRC restricts the amount of fuel to the combustion chambers until sufficient boost has been achieved.

Fuel ratio control (FRC) (3) operates on boost air pressure that is delivered by a tube from the inlet manifold of the
engine to inlet port (2). At low boost, retainer shaft (4) is held stationary by springs that are inside the FRC. When the
operator demands more fuel, governor output shaft (1) moves in the FUEL ON direction (A). The governor output shaft
will move in this direction until limit lever (8) contacts setscrew (7) of FRC lever (5). When FRC lever (5) is restrained
from rotating clockwise or FUEL ON movement by the FRC, further FUEL ON movement of governor output shaft (1)
is stopped. Thus, overfueling is prevented.

As engine power increases, boost pressure also increases. This pressure acts against a diaphragm inside the FRC. When
boost pressure is sufficient, spring force inside the FRC is overcome and retainer shaft (4) moves to the right. This
movement will allow FRC lever (5) and limit lever (8) to rotate clockwise. Governor output shaft (1) is now able to
move in the FUEL ON direction until the limit lever (8) contacts limit lever setscrew (6).

When boost pressure decreases, springs inside fuel ratio control (FRC) (3) will return retainer shaft (4) to the normal
position. FUEL ON movement of governor output shaft (1) is again restricted.

the solenoid acts on a lever assembly within the front housing of the governor. This lever assembly pushes the governor
output shaft to the FUEL OFF position when the plunger is released electrically or the plunger is released manually at
engine shutdown. At engine start-up, the solenoid is energized in order to latch in the run position. The governor output
shaft is then free to move to the FUEL ON position.

Engines that are equipped with a latching solenoid can be manually shut off by pushing button (1) inward. The solenoid
CANNOT be manually latched in the run position in order to start the engine.

(9) Inlet valve

(10) Compressor wheel

(11) Turbine wheel

Inlet air is pulled through air cleaner (7). The inlet air is then compressed and heated by the compressor wheel of
turbocharger (5) to about 150°C (300°F). The inlet air is then pushed through one of the following components: air-to-air
aftercooled (ATAAC), jacket water aftercooled (JWAC) and air inlet cover. The inlet air is forced to air inlet manifold
(2). The temperature of the inlet air at the air inlet manifold is about 43°C (110°F). Cooling of the inlet air increases the
combustion efficiency. Increased combustion efficiency helps to lower fuel consumption. Also, increased combustion
efficiency helps to increase horsepower output.

The air to air aftercooled (ATAAC) system incorporates a separate air to air aftercooler core. This core is installed in
front of the radiator of the engine or the core is installed beside the radiator of the engine. Air that is ambient temperature
is moved across the aftercooler core by the engine fan and by the ram effect of the vehicle's forward motion. This cools
the turbocharged inlet air.

The jacket water aftercooled (JWAC) system uses engine coolant from the water pump in order to cool the hot
turbocharged air. The JWAC system incorporates a water-to-air system that is mounted to the air inlet manifold.

Inlet manifold (2) is a one-piece casting that also serves as a base for the valve cover. From the inlet manifold, the air is
forced into the cylinder head in order to fill the inlet ports. Air flow from the inlet port into the cylinder is controlled by
the inlet valves.

There is one inlet valve (9) and one exhaust valve (8) for each cylinder. The inlet valve opens when the piston moves
down on the inlet stroke. When the inlet valve opens, cooled compressed air from the inlet port is pulled into the
cylinder. The inlet valve closes and the piston begins to move up on the compression stroke. The air in the cylinder is
compressed. When the piston is near the top of the compression stroke, fuel is injected into the cylinder. The fuel mixes
with the air and combustion starts. During the power stroke, the combustion force pushes the piston downward. After the
power stroke is complete, the piston moves upward. This upward movement is the exhaust stroke. During the exhaust
stroke, the exhaust valve opens, and the exhaust gases are pushed through the exhaust port into exhaust manifold (3).
After the piston completes the exhaust stroke, the exhaust valve closes and the cycle starts again. The complete cycle
consists of four stages:

· inlet stroke
· compression stroke
· power stroke
· exhaust stroke
Exhaust gases from exhaust manifold (3) enter turbine side of turbocharger (5) in order to turn the turbine wheel (11).
The turbine wheel is connected to a shaft which drives the compressor wheel (10). Exhaust gases from the turbocharger
pass through the exhaust outlet pipe, the muffler and the exhaust stack.

(10) Oil outlet port

(11) Exhaust inlet

The turbocharger is installed on the center section of the exhaust manifold. All the exhaust gases from the engine go
through the turbocharger. The compressor side of the turbocharger is connected to the aftercooler by pipe.

The exhaust gases go into turbine housing (7) through exhaust inlet (11). The exhaust gases then push the blades of
turbine wheel (8). The turbine wheel is connected by a shaft to compressor wheel (3).

Clean air from the air cleaners is pulled through compressor housing air inlet (1) by the rotation of compressor wheel (3).
The action of the compressor wheel blades causes a compression of the inlet air. This compression gives the engine more
power by allowing the engine to burn more air and more fuel during combustion.

When the load on the engine increases, more fuel is injected into the cylinders. The combustion of this additional fuel
produces more exhaust gases. The additional exhaust gases cause the turbine and the compressor wheels of the
turbocharger to turn faster. As the compressor wheel turns faster, more air is forced into the cylinders. The increased
flow of air gives the engine more power by allowing the engine to burn the additional fuel with greater efficiency.

Turbocharger With Waste Gate

When the engine is operating under conditions of low boost, a spring pushes on a diaphragm in canister (13). This action
moves actuating lever (12) in order to close the valve of the waste gate. Closing the valve of the waste gate allows the
turbocharger to operate at maximum performance.

file://C:\SIS\TMP\sis3F1prt.html 7/22/2008
Copyright 1991, 2008 Caterpillar Inc. All Rights Reserved. Page 6 of 10

As the boost pressure through line (14) increases against the diaphragm in canister (13), the valve of the wastegate is
opened. When the valve of the wastegate is opened, the rpm of the turbocharger is limited by bypassing a portion of the
exhaust gases. The exhaust gases are routed through the wastegate which bypasses the turbine wheel of the turbocharger.

Note: The turbocharger with a waste gate is preset at the factory and no adjustment can be made.

Bearings (4) and (6) for the turbocharger use engine oil under pressure for lubrication. The oil comes in through oil
supply tube (15) to oil inlet port (5). The oil then goes through passages in the center section in order to lubricate the
bearings. Oil from the turbocharger goes out through oil outlet port (10) in the bottom of the center section. The oil then
goes back to the engine lubrication system through oil drain tube (16).

The valve system components control the flow of inlet air into the cylinders during engine operation. The valve system
components also control the flow of exhaust gases out of the cylinders during engine operation.

The crankshaft gear drives the camshaft gear through an idler gear. The camshaft must be timed to the crankshaft in
order to get the correct relation between the piston movement and the valve movement.

The camshaft has three camshaft lobes for each cylinder. The lobes operate the following components: the inlet valves,
the exhaust valves and the mechanical unit injector (MUI). As the camshaft turns, lobes on the camshaft cause lifters (5)
to move pushrods (4) up and down. Upward movement of the pushrods against rocker arms (1) results in downward
movement (opening) of valves (3).

Each cylinder has one inlet valve and one exhaust valve. Valve springs (2) close the valves when the lifters move down.

Air Inlet Heater (If Equipped)


The engines may be equipped with an electric heater that is located at the air inlet manifold. The electric heater has two
functions:

· aid in starting
· aid in white smoke cleanup during start-up
Under the proper conditions, an Electronic Control will turn on the system for the electric heater (if equipped). The
following conditions are evaluated prior to activating the electric heater:

· jacket water coolant temperature


· oil pressure
· ignition switch position
· duration of time
Some of the air inlet heaters will have manual controls, while other air inlet heaters will have automatic controls. The
system is capable of delivering heat for 30 seconds prior to start-up and during cranking of the engine. After the engine
has started, the system is capable of delivering heat constantly for several minutes. This will depend on the control
system that is used.

If the air inlet heater malfunctions, the engine will still start and the engine will still run. There may be a concern
regarding the amount of white smoke that is present. Also, there may be a concern regarding the need for an alternative
starting aid.

pulls oil from engine oil pan. The engine oil is then pushed through passage (16) to the engine oil cooler (19). Oil then
flows through engine oil filter (18). The filtered oil then enters the turbocharger oil supply line (13) and main oil gallery
(8).

The main oil gallery (8) distributes oil to main bearings (11), piston cooling jets (4), and camshaft bearing (6). Oil from
the main oil gallery exits the front of the block. The oil then enters passage (10) that is cast in the front housing.

The front housing passage sends the oil flow in two directions. At the upper end of the passage (10), oil is directed back
into the block and up to cylinder head gallery (3). At the lower end of the passage (10), oil enters passage (14). This
passage will send oil to the oil pump idler gear bearing on the 4 cylinder engine and the 6 cylinder engines, and to the
bearing for the front bearing for the balancer shaft on the 4 cylinder engine.

Oil from the main oil gallery is forced through passages to the crankshaft main bearings. Oil enters the holes in the
bearing surfaces (journals) for the main bearing (11). Oil from the front main bearing enters passage (12) in order to
lubricate the camshaft idler gear bearing. Oil passages in the crankshaft send oil from all the main bearings (11) through
the connecting rods to the connecting rod bearings. Passages connect the bearing surface (journal) for the main bearing
with the bearing surface (journal) for the connecting rod.

On the 4 cylinder engine, some of the oil that goes to the rear main bearing is directed out of the rear face of the cylinder
block to passage (7) in the crankshaft seal carrier. Oil is then directed into passage (9) in the cylinder block. Oil is
supplied to the rear support for the balancer unit in order to lubricate the rear bearings of the balancer unit. A passage in
the balancer shafts now carries the oil from the rear balancer shaft bearings to the intermediate bearings of the shafts.

Passages (5) send oil from the camshaft bearing (6) to a short oil passage (25) in the side covers. The oil then enters a
hole in the shafts of the pushrod lifters in order to lubricate the roller bearings of the lifter.

Cylinder head oil gallery (3) provides flow to governor oil supply line (1) and the rocker arm supports. Holes in the
rocker arm supports allow lubrication of the valve and injector components.

After the lubrication oil's work is done, the lubrication oil returns to the engine oil pan.

The oil pump bypass valve (21) limits the pressure of the oil that is coming from the engine oil pump (22). The engine
oil pump can pump more than enough oil into the system. When there is more than enough oil, the oil pressure increases.
When the oil pressure increases, the oil pump bypass valve will open. This allows the oil that is not needed to go back to
the suction side of the engine oil pump.

The bypass valves (15) and (17) will open when the engine is cold (starting conditions). Opening the bypass valves
achieves immediate lubrication of all components. Immediate lubrication is critical when cold oil with high viscosity
causes a restriction to the oil flow through engine oil cooler (19) and engine oil filter (18). The engine oil pump (22)
sends the cold oil through the bypass valves around the engine oil cooler and the engine oil filter to the turbocharger oil
supply line (13) and the main oil gallery (8) in the cylinder block.

When the oil gets warm, the pressure difference in the bypass valves decreases and the bypass valves close. After the
bypass valves close, there is a normal flow of oil through the engine oil cooler and the engine oil filter.

The bypass valves will also open when there is a restriction in the engine oil cooler (19) or engine oil filter (18). This
design allows the engine to be lubricated even though the engine oil cooler or the engine oil filter are restricted.

Crankcase breather (24) allows engine blowby to escape from the crankcase. The engine blowby is discharged through
hose (26) into the atmosphere. This prevents pressure from building up that could cause seals or gaskets to leak.

Oil pressure to the camshaft and the main bearings should be checked at oil gallery plug (27). This plug is located on the
left side of the cylinder block.

Water pump (6) is located on the right front side of cylinder block (4). The water pump is belt driven from the crankshaft
pulley. Coolant from the bottom of radiator (7) is pulled into the bottom inlet of the water pump by the impeller rotation.
The rotation of the impeller in the water pump forces the coolant through the cooling system. The coolant exits the back
of the water pump directly into the oil cooler cavity of the cylinder block.

All of the coolant passes through the core of oil cooler (5) and the coolant then enters the internal water manifold of
cylinder block (4). This manifold distributes the coolant to water jackets that are around the cylinder walls.

From the cylinder block, the coolant flows into passages that are in cylinder head (1). These passages send the flow of
coolant around the following items:

· Unit injector sleeves


· Inlet passages
· Exhaust passages
The coolant now enters water temperature regulator housing (2) at the front right side of cylinder block (4).

Water temperature regulator (9) controls the direction of flow. If the temperature of the coolant is below normal, then the
water temperature regulator is closed. The coolant is directed through bypass hose (3) and into the top inlet of water
pump (6). When the coolant gets to the correct temperature, the water temperature regulator will open. Most of the
coolant goes through outlet (8) to the radiator for cooling. The remainder flows through the bypass hose and into the
water pump.

Note: Water temperature regulator (9) is an important part of the cooling system. The water temperature regulator
divides the coolant flow between the radiator and the bypass in order to maintain the proper temperature. If the water
temperature regulator is not installed in the system, then there is no mechanical control, and most of the coolant will take
the path of least resistance through the bypass. This will cause the engine to overheat in hot weather. Any amount of
coolant that flows through the radiator can be too much in cold weather. This will cause the engine not to reach normal
operating temperatures.

This engine has a pressure type cooling system that is equipped with a shunt line.

A pressure type cooling system offers two advantages:

· The cooling system can operate safely at a temperature that is higher than the normal boiling point of water.
· The cooling system prevents cavitation in the water pump.
Cavitation is the sudden formation of low pressure bubbles in liquids by mechanical forces. The formation of air or
steam pockets is more difficult within a pressure type cooling system.

The shunt line prevents cavitation by the water pump. The shunt line provides a constant flow of coolant to the water
pump.

Coolant Flow Circuit


The water pump is located on the side of the cylinder block. The water pump is belt driven from the crankshaft pulley.

Coolant from the heat exchanger is pulled into the bottom inlet of the water pump by impeller rotation. The coolant exits
the pump directly into the oil cooler cavity.

The coolant enters the internal water manifold of the cylinder block. The manifold disperses the coolant to water jackets
around the cylinder walls.

The coolant from the rear of the cylinder block supplies the exhaust manifold and the turbocharger.

The coolant then flows into passages in the cylinder head. The passages send the flow around the unit injector sleeves
and the inlet and the exhaust passages.

The coolant exits the cylinder head and combines with the flow of coolant from the exhaust manifold before entering the
regulator. The coolant then flows through a deaerator in order to purge excess air to the expansion tank. Air vents are
provided on the water outlet of the turbocharger and at the rear of the cylinder head. The air vents allow the cooling
system to fill with coolant. The air vents also remove the air from the cooling system.

Note: The water temperature regulator controls the direction of flow. When the coolant temperature is below the normal
operating temperature, the water temperature regulator is closed. The coolant is directed from the cylinder head to the
inlet of the water pump. When the coolant temperature reaches the normal operating temperature, the water temperature

file://C:\SIS\TMP\sis551prt.html 7/22/2008

regulator opens. Coolant then travels to the heat exchanger for cooling.

Note: The water temperature regulator is an important part of the cooling system. The water temperature regulator
divides coolant flow between the heat exchanger and the bypass in order to maintain the normal operating temperature.
If the water temperature regulator is not installed in the system, there is no mechanical control, and most of the coolant
will travel the path of least resistance through the bypass. This will cause the engine to overheat in hot weather and the
engine will not reach normal operating temperature in cold weather.

The shunt line extends from the top of the water pump to the expansion tank. The shunt line must be routed properly in
order to avoid trapping any air. By providing a constant flow of coolant to the water pump, the shunt line prevents the
water pump from cavitating.

Basic Engine
SMCS Code: 1200

Cylinder Block and Head


The cylinder block for the four cylinder engine has five main bearings that support the crankshaft. The cylinder block for
the six cylinder engine has seven main bearings that support the crankshaft. The main bearing caps are fastened to the
cylinder block with two bolts per cap.

The removal of the oil pan allows access to the following components:

· Crankshaft
· Main bearing caps
· Piston cooling jets
· Oil pump
The compartment for the camshaft is accessible through covers on the left side of the cylinder block. These side covers
also support the pushrod lifters. The camshaft is supported by bearings that are pressed into the cylinder block. There are
five camshaft bearings for the four cylinder engine and there are seven camshaft bearings for the six cylinder engine.

The cylinder head is separated from the cylinder block by a gasket that is made of steel and non-asbestos fiber. Coolant
flows out of the cylinder block through gasket openings and into the cylinder head. The gasket also seals the oil supply
and the drain passages between the cylinder head and the cylinder block. The air inlet ports are located on the top of the
cylinder head. The exhaust ports are located on the right side of the cylinder head. There is one intake and one exhaust
valve for each cylinder. Valve guides are pressed into the cylinder head. The fuel injector is located between the two
valves. Fuel is injected directly into the cylinders at very high pressure. A system with pushrods and with rocker arms is
used in order to control the valves and the fuel injectors.

Pistons, Rings, and Connecting Rods


One-piece aluminum pistons are used in most applications. Engines with higher cylinder pressures require two-piece
pistons. Refer to the parts manual in order to obtain information about the type of piston that is used in a specific engine.

The one-piece aluminum pistons have an iron band for the top two rings. This helps to reduce wear on the compression
ring grooves. Oil from the piston cooling jets will spray the underside of the piston. This will cool the piston, which
improves the life of the piston and rings. The piston has two compression rings and one oil ring. All of the rings are
located above the piston pin bore. The oil ring is of the standard or conventional type. Oil will return to the crankcase
through holes that are located in the groove for the oil ring. The design of the compression rings is of the keystone type,

file://C:\SIS\TMP\sis601prt.html 7/22/2008
Copyright 1991, 2008 Caterpillar Inc. All Rights Reserved. Page 2 of 7

which is tapered. The piston groove is also tapered. Too much carbon deposits can cause seizure of the piston rings. This
is prevented by the action of the rings in the piston grooves.

The two-piece piston consists of an alloy steel crown that is connected to an aluminum skirt by the piston pin. Oil from
the piston cooling jets will spray the underside of the piston crown. This will cool the piston, which improves the life of
the piston and the rings. The piston rings are located in grooves in the piston crown. Oil will return to the crankcase
through holes that are located in the groove for the oil ring.

The connecting rod has a taper on the pin bore end which gives the rod and the piston more strength in the areas with the
most load. The cap is fastened to the connecting rod by two bolts. This design keeps the rod width to a minimum, so that
the piston can be removed through the cylinder.

Crankshaft
The crankshaft converts the combustion forces in the cylinders into rotating torque which powers the equipment. A
vibration damper is used on the front of the crankshaft to reduce torsional vibrations (twist on the crankshaft) that can
cause damage to the engine.

The crankshaft drives a group of gears (front gear train) on the front of the engine. The front gear train provides power
for the following components:

· Engine oil pump


· Camshaft
· Governor
· Air compressor
· Power steering pump
In addition, the front belt pulleys on the crankshaft provide power for following components:

· Radiator fan
· Water pump
· Alternator
· Refrigerant compressor

Hydrodynamic seals are used at both ends of the crankshaft to control oil leakage. The hydrodynamic grooves in the seal
lip move lubrication oil back into the crankcase as the crankshaft turns. The front seal is located in the front housing. The
rear seal is installed in the flywheel housing.

(2) Main bearings

(3) Connecting rod bearings

Pressurized oil is supplied to all main bearings through drilled holes in the webs of the cylinder block. The oil then flows
through drilled holes in the crankshaft in order to provide oil to the connecting rod bearings. The crankshaft is held in
position by either five main bearings on the four cylinder engine or seven main bearings on the six cylinder engines. A
thrust main bearing is located next to the rear main bearing. This type of main bearing is used in order to control the end
play of the crankshaft.

Camshaft
The camshaft is located in the upper left side of the cylinder block. The camshaft is driven by an idler gear that is turned
by the crankshaft in the front gear train. Five camshaft bearings support the camshaft in a four cylinder engine. Seven
camshaft bearings support the camshaft in a six cylinder engine. Each bearing journal is lubricated from the oil manifold
in the cylinder block. A thrust pin that is located at the rear of the block positions the camshaft through a circumferential
groove. The groove is machined at the rear of the camshaft.

The camshaft has three lobes at each cylinder that operate the unit injector, the exhaust valves, and the inlet valves. As
the camshaft rotates, each lobe moves a lifter assembly. Each outside lifter assembly moves a pushrod, which will move
either an inlet valve or an exhaust valve. The center lifter assembly moves a pushrod that operates the fuel injector. The
camshaft must be in time with the crankshaft. Timing is the relationship of the camshaft lobes to the crankshaft position,
which will cause the valves and the fuel injector in each cylinder to operate at the correct time. Timing of the camshaft is
accomplished by aligning marks on the following components with each other:crankshaft gear, idler gear and camshaft
gear.

Vibration Damper
The force from combustion in the cylinders will cause the crankshaft to twist. This is called torsional vibration. If the
vibration is too great, the crankshaft will be damaged. The vibration damper limits the torsional vibrations to an
acceptable amount in order to prevent damage to the crankshaft.

pump housing (5), intermediate support and rear support. The balancer shafts are driven by crankshaft gear (1) via oil
pump idler gear (2) and oil pump drive gear (4). The balancer shafts are phased and the shafts are timed to the engine by
marked teeth on the gears.

Electrical System
SMCS Code: 1400; 1550; 1900

Engine Electrical System


The electrical system has two separate circuits.

· the charging circuit


· the starting circuit
Some of the electrical system components are used in more than one circuit. The following items are common in each of
the circuits:

· The battery
· The circuit breaker
· The cables
· The wires for the battery
The charging circuit is in operation when the engine is running. An alternator makes electricity for the charging circuit.
A voltage regulator in the circuit controls the electrical output in order to keep the battery at full charge.

The disconnect switch, if so equipped, must be in the ON position to


let the electrical system function. There will be damage to some of
the charging circuit components if the engine runs with the
disconnect with in the OFF position.

If the engine has a disconnect switch, the starting circuit can operate only after the disconnect switch is put in the "ON"

file://C:\SIS\TMP\sis6B1prt.html 7/22/2008

position.

The starting switch is in operation only when the start switch is activated.

The charging circuit is connected through the ammeter. The starting circuit is not connected through the ammeter.

Charging System Components


The alternator is driven by the crankshaft pulley through a belt that is a Poly-vee type. The alternator is a three-phase
self-rectifying charging unit. The regulator is part of the alternator. The operation of the brushless alternator and the
brush type alternator follow.

Never operate the alternator without the battery in the circuit.


Making or breaking an alternator connection with heavy load on
the circuit can cause damage to the regulator.

Brushless Alternator

(3) Stator winding

(4) Ball bearing

(5) Rectifier bridge

(6) Field winding

(7) Rotor assembly

(8) Fan

This alternator design has no need for slip rings or for brushes. The only part of this alternator that moves is the rotor
assembly. All of the conductors that carry current are stationary. The following components are the conductors: the field
winding, the stator windings, rectifying diodes and components of the regulator circuit.

The rotor assembly has many magnetic poles that are similar to fingers with air space between each of the opposite
poles. The poles have residual magnetism that produces a small amount of magnet-like lines of force (magnetic field).
This magnetic field is produced between the poles. As the rotor assembly begins to turn between the field winding and
the stator windings, a small amount of alternating current (AC) is produced in the stator windings. The alternating
current is produced from the small magnetic lines of force that are created by the residual magnetism of the poles. The
AC is changed into direct current (DC) when the current passes through the diodes of the rectifier bridge. Most of this
current provides the battery charge and the supply for the low amperage circuit. The remainder of the current is sent to
the field windings. The DC current flow through the field windings (wires around an iron core) increases the strength of
the magnetic lines of force. These stronger magnetic lines of force increase the amount of AC that is produced in the
stator windings. The increased speed of the rotor assembly also increases the current output of the alternator and the
voltage output of the alternator.

Brush Type Alternator

file://C:\SIS\TMP\sis6B1prt.html 7/22/2008
Copyright 1991, 2008 Caterpillar Inc. All Rights Reserved. Page 4 of 8

Illustration 42

Brush Type Alternator (Typical Example)

(1) Stator

(2) Field coil (rotor)

(3) Regulator

This alternator design has a stator (1) that is stationary and a field coil (rotor) (2) that moves. The slip rings and the
brushes are used for supplying excitation current to the rotating field coil.

The brush type alternators can be a battery energized alternator or a self-energizing alternator. The self-energizing
alternators rely on residual magnetism, which is similar to the brushless alternators. The battery energized alternators
have less residual magnetism. These alternators use current from the batteries for field current in order to produce the
magnetic lines of force. When the alternator's voltage exceeds the battery voltage, the charging system will be self-
contained and the battery voltage will not be needed.

The voltage regulator is a solid-state electronic switch. The voltage regulator senses the voltage of the system. The
regulator then uses switches to control the current to the field windings. This controls the voltage output in order to meet
the electrical demand of the system.

Starting System Components


Solenoid

A solenoid is an electromagnetic switch that performs two basic functions:

· The solenoid closes the high current starter motor circuit with a low current start switch circuit.
· The solenoid engages the starter motor pinion with the ring gear.

file://C:\SIS\TMP\sis6B1prt.html 7/22/2008
Copyright 1991, 2008 Caterpillar Inc. All Rights Reserved. Page 5 of 8

Illustration 43

Typical solenoid schematic

The solenoid has windings (one set or two sets) around a hollow cylinder. A plunger with a spring load device is inside
of the cylinder. The plunger can move forward and backward. When the start switch is closed and electricity is sent
through the windings, a magnetic field is created. The magnetic field pulls the plunger forward in the cylinder. This
moves the shift lever in order for the pinion drive gear to engage with the ring gear. The front end of the plunger then
makes contact across the battery and across the motor terminals of the solenoid. The starter motor then begins to turn the
flywheel of the engine.

When the start switch is opened, current no longer flows through the windings. The spring now returns the plunger to the
original position. At the same time, the spring moves the pinion gear away from the flywheel.

When two sets of windings in the solenoid are used, the windings are called the hold-in winding and the pull-in winding.
Both of the windings wind around the cylinder for an equal amount of times. The pull-in winding uses a wire with a
larger diameter in order to produce a stronger magnetic field. When the start switch is closed, part of the current flows
from the battery through the hold-in winding. The remainder of the current flows through the pull-in windings, to the
motor terminal, and then to the ground. When the solenoid is fully activated, the current is shut off through the pull-in
windings. Only the smaller hold-in windings are in operation for the extended period of time that is necessary for the
engine to be started. The solenoid will now take a smaller amount of current from the battery. Heat that is created by the
solenoid will be kept at an acceptable level.

Starter Motor

Illustration 44

(2) Solenoid

(3) Clutch

(4) Starter pinion

(5) Commutator

(6) Brush assembly

(7) Armature

The starter motor rotates the engine flywheel at a rate that is fast enough to start the engine.

The starter motor has a solenoid (2). When the start switch is activated, the solenoid will move starter pinion (4) in order
to engage the starter pinion and the ring gear on the engine flywheel. The starter pinion and the ring gear will engage
before the circuit between the battery and the starter motor is closed by the electric contacts in the solenoid. When the
circuit between the battery and the starter motor is complete, the starter pinion will rotate the engine flywheel. A clutch
provides protection for the starter motor so that the engine cannot turn the starter motor too fast. When the switch is
released, the starter pinion will move away from the ring gear.

Other Components
Circuit Breaker

The circuit breaker is a switch that opens the battery circuit if the current in the electrical system is higher than the rating

file://C:\SIS\TMP\sis6B1prt.html 7/22/2008
Copyright 1991, 2008 Caterpillar Inc. All Rights Reserved. Page 7 of 8

of the circuit breaker. The metal disc (2) is activated by heat. If the current in the electrical system gets too high, the
metal disc will get hot. This heat causes a distortion of the metal disc. A circuit breaker that is open can be reset when
the metal disc becomes cooler. Push the reset button (1) in order to close the contact points and reset the circuit breaker.

Find and correct the problem that causes the circuit breaker to
open. This will help prevent damage to the circuit components from
too much current.

The magnetic pickup is a permanent magnet generator with a single pole. The magnetic pickup is made of wire coils (2).
The coils go around a permanent magnet pole piece (4).

As the teeth of the flywheel ring gear (5) cut through the magnetic lines of force (1) around the pickup, an AC voltage is
generated. The frequency of this voltage is directly proportional to engine speed.

Magnetic Switch

A magnetic switch is used for the starter solenoid circuit. The switch electrically operates in the same manner as the
solenoid. The magnetic switch has the function of reducing the low current load that is on the start switch. The switch
also controls the low current to the starting solenoid.

Governor Speed Circuit


SMCS Code: 1264

The governor transfers the requirements of the operator to the fuel injector rack control linkage. The governor maintains
the desired engine speed by the position of the throttle. The governor output shaft moves immediately when the throttle
is moved. The movement of the governor output shaft then causes the fuel injector rack control linkage to rotate. The
rotation of the fuel injector rack control linkage causes the fuel injector rack to move. As the rack moves to change the
engine speed, the governor adjusts the amount of fuel that is delivered to the cylinders. This causes the engine to
stabilize at the speed that corresponds to the throttle position.

(8) Shaft

The governor senses engine speed from the camshaft through governor drive gear (1). Shaft (2) connects governor drive
gear (1) to flyweight carrier (3). As flyweights (4) rotate, a centrifugal force is created. This force is converted to linear
motion, moving riser (5) toward low idle spring (6) and high idle spring (7) when the engine speed increases. At the low
idle speed, low idle spring (6) exerts an opposite force on riser (5). At higher engine speeds, high idle spring (7) also
becomes compressed. When the engine speed decreases, springs (6) and (7) move riser (5) toward flyweights (4). Thus,
there is a unique riser position for every engine speed. Because the riser has a unique position for every engine speed,
this is a full range rpm governor. The riser position provides the speed position for the rest of the governor.

Note: Pin (A), which is located on riser lever (18) engages in riser (5).

As riser (5) moves, riser lever (18) causes pivot shaft (17) to rotate. Pivot lever (13) rotates with pivot shaft (17). Thus,
pivot lever (13) will also have a unique position for every engine speed.

The operator selects the desired engine speed with control lever (11). Control lever (11) and governor output shaft (9) are
connected by fulcrum lever (12), which is connected to pivot lever (13). This connection provides the operator with
direct communication to the governor output. As the engine speed changes, fulcrum lever (12) moves in order to change
the output of the governor to a new stable condition. The same condition occurs when the operator changes the position

The governor limits the fuel that is injected into the combustion chamber when the rated load or a lug condition is
reached. When this condition occurs, limit lever (7) is against limit lever setscrew (9) and Governor output shaft (1) is in
the maximum FUEL ON position. Torque cam lever (13) has rotated about a pin on limit lever (7) until torque cam lever
(13) contacts torque cam (14). If the load to the engine is increased in this condition, engine speed will decrease. This
decrease will be felt by the flyweights, causing the riser to rotate riser lever (15) and pivot shaft (12) to a new position.
Since torque cam (14) is fixed to pivot shaft (12), different torque characteristics can be achieved by changing the profile
on torque cam (14).

The fuel ratio control (FRC) limits the fuel by preventing limit lever (7) from reaching limit lever setscrew (9). This is
accomplished with FRC lever (5). As boost increases, limit lever (7) is allowed to rotate further toward limit lever
setscrew (9). At full boost, limit lever (7) will not be restricted by fuel ratio control (3).

In order to deliver more fuel to the engine at start-up, some governors contain a notch in torque cam (14). When the
engine is not operating, the position of the torque cam allows torque cam lever (13) to enter the notch. This allows the
rack to advance beyond the FRC limit. Once the engine is started the torque cam rotates and the torque cam lever is
forced out of the notch. The rack is then limited by the FRC. This feature is known as deep notch and it provides
overfueling for easier starting.

The turbocharged engine uses a simple fuel ratio control (FRC) to control smoke during acceleration at low boost. This
FRC is a pneumatic type. FRC (2) restricts the amount of fuel to the combustion chambers until sufficient boost pressure
is achieved.

Fuel ratio control operates on air pressure that is delivered by a tube between inlet port (1) and the inlet manifold of the

file://C:\SIS\TMP\sis9F1prt.html 7/22/2008

engine. At low boost pressure, retainer shaft (8) is held stationary by springs (5) and (7) inside FRC (2). When the
operator demands more fuel, the internal governor linkage moves in the fuel on direction until lever (3) contacts retainer
(4). At this position, additional fueling is prevented.

As engine power increases, boost pressure also increases. This pressure acts against diaphragm (6). When boost pressure
is sufficient, spring force is overcome and retainer shaft (8) moves to the right. This permits lever (3) to move allowing
the internal governor linkage to move further in the fuel on direction.

(10) Typical location of 128-4794 Plug

In 1996, the EPA Emission Regulations began requiring engines to be equipped with some type of tamper resistant
device. 3114, 3116 and 3126 Engines that have mechanical unit injection will be equipped with tamper resistant plugs in
the governor housing. The tamper resistant plug will prevent unauthorized changes to the FRC.

3114, 3116 and 3126 Engines currently have two sizes of tamper resistant plugs that are being used. Figure 22 shows the
typical location of a 128-4786 Plug (9) that has 7/8 inch threads. Figure 23 shows the typical location of a 128-4794 Plug
(10) that has 1 5/8 inch threads.

If an adjustment is required on a 3114, 3116 or on a 3126 Engine that is equipped with a tamper resistant plug, a 148-
3605 Wrench is required in order to remove the tamper resistant plug.

(10) Governor linkage

The hydrapneumatic FRC is used on turbocharged engines to control smoke during acceleration at low boost.

The hydrapneumatic FRC operates on boost pressure from the inlet manifold and oil pressure from the engine. Valve
body (6) will not move until inlet manifold pressure increases enough to move valve (5). When the governor control is
moved to increase fuel to the engine, valve body (6) limits the movement of internal governor linkage (10) in the fuel on
direction. The oil pressure in the oil chamber resists movement of valve body (6) until air pressure increases.

As the air pressure increases in inlet air chamber (A), diaphragm (2) and valve (5) move to the right. The valve opens oil
passage (8) and the oil in the oil chamber flows to a drain passage. This reduces the oil pressure behind piston (4). Then,
spring (3) moves the piston and valve body (6) to the right until oil passage (8) is restricted by valve (5). This permits
governor linkage (10) to move further in the fuel on direction.

As the air pressure decreases in inlet air chamber (A), diaphragm (2) and valve (5) move to the left. The valve closes oil
passage (8) and oil pressure in the oil chamber increases. When the oil pressure increases behind piston (4), spring (3) is
compressed and valve body (6) moves to the left. Governor linkage (10) is then limited to a position of less fuel on.

During engine start-up, before oil pressure is present in the oil chamber, spring (9) is used to ensure that piston (4)
remains against valve body (6). After engine start-up, oil pressure keeps piston (4) against valve body (6). Pin (7) is used
to limit the travel of valve body (6) due to the spring force of spring (3).

In order to deliver more fuel to the engine during start-up, some governors that use the hydrapneumatic FRC do not
contain pin (7). This allows the rack to advance beyond the FRC limit before the engine is started. The FRC that contains
pin (7) and the FRC that does not contain pin (7) operates identically after the engine is running and the oil pressure
increases. This feature is known as the pinless FRC and it provides overfueling for easier starting.

The governor servo provides hydraulic assistance to the mechanical governor force that is moving the governor output
shaft on engines that require close regulations.

The components of the governor servo are cylinder (3) (part of governor rear housing), cylinder sleeve (4), piston (2),
and valve (1). When the governor moves in the FUEL ON direction, valve (1) moves to the left. As valve (1) moves to
the left oil outlet (B) opens and oil passage (D) closes. Oil pressure from oil inlet (A) pushes piston (2) and clevis (5) to
the left. Oil behind the piston flows through oil passage (C) and around valve (1). The oil then flows into oil outlet (B).

When the governor spring and flyweight forces are balanced and the engine speed is constant, valve (1) stops moving.
Oil pressure from oil inlet (A) pushes piston (2) until oil passage (D) is opened. Oil now flows through oil passage (D)
along valve (1), and out through oil outlet (B). With no oil pressure on the piston, piston (2) and clevis (5) stop moving.

When the governor moves in the FUEL OFF direction, valve (1) moves to the right. The valve closes oil outlet (B) and
opens oil passage (D). Oil under pressure from oil inlet (A) is now on both sides of piston (2). The surface area on the
left side of the piston is greater than the surface area on the right side of the piston. Therefore, more force is exerted on
the left side of the piston so piston (2) and clevis (5) move to the right.

Governors on engines that require close regulation are equipped with a dashpot. The dashpot improves engine stability
during sudden load changes.

Engine oil is supplied to the dashpot by oil passage (7) near the end of the riser shaft. The oil then flows through passage
(9) and into reservoir (8). Excess oil leaves the reservoir through overflow passage (5).

When spring seat (1) is moved by a change in speed, dashpot spring (2) moves piston (3) in seat (4). When the engine
speed increases, piston (3) moves to the right. The oil in the piston cavity is placed under pressure as the oil is forced
through orifice (6) and into reservoir (8).

When engine speed decreases, piston (3) moves to the left. This causes a decrease in the pressure in the piston cavity. Oil
is now pulled through orifice (6) from reservoir (8).

Orifice (6) restricts the flow of oil to the piston cavity and from the piston cavity. This orifice causes a restriction to
movement of piston (3) and spring seat (1). As the governor tries to move spring seat (1) faster, the dashpot resists the
movement more.

(8) Piston assembly

(9) Nut

(10) Setscrew

This is the first type of two types of dual horsepower mechanisms. The dual horsepower mechanism is used to limit
horsepower under certain operating conditions. When high horsepower is activated, the movement of the internal
governor linkage is limited when the torque cam is contacted by the torque lever. This is the normal method of limiting
fuel output. When low horsepower is activated the movement of the FRC lever is restricted by the dual horsepower
mechanism. This determines maximum fuel output and engine power. When low horsepower is activated, the torque cam
is not contacted and the governor is held constant.

To activate low horsepower, the solenoid must be de-energized. The solenoid is located in valve cavity (6). When the
solenoid is de-energized, oil is allowed to flow into oil gallery (3). This oil pressure acts upon piston assembly (8) and
spring (5) by pushing the piston assembly toward the internal governor linkage. The oil pressure will continue pushing
the piston assembly until the full stroke of the piston is reached. This limits the internal governor linkage in the fuel on
direction so there is less fuel output and less horsepower. The rack position for low horsepower is set with setscrew (10)
which is located in the dual horsepower mechanism.

To activate high horsepower, the solenoid must be energized. When the solenoid is energized, oil is restricted from
entering oil gallery (3). Instead, oil that is already in the oil gallery flows back through the solenoid into the governor.
This reduces the pressure against piston assembly (8). Spring (5) moves the piston assembly away from the internal
governor linkage. This allows the internal linkage to move further in the fuel on direction which provides more
horsepower. The rack position for high horsepower is set with the torque cam screw that is located on the torque cam
lever of the governor.

The position of the internal governor linkage for low horsepower is set with setscrew (10) at the end of the assembly.
This setscrew contacts the internal governor linkage when low horsepower is activated. The position of the internal
governor linkage for high horsepower is not set by the dual horsepower mechanism. That position is set by the load stop
lever in the governor.

horsepower under certain operating conditions. Unlike the Type VI dual horsepower mechanism, the internal governor
linkage contacts the torque cam in both low horsepower mode and high horsepower mode.

To activate low horsepower, the solenoid must be de-energized. The solenoid is located in valve cavity (6). When the
solenoid is de-energized oil is allowed to flow into oil gallery (2). This oil pressure acts upon piston assembly (5) and
spring (4) by pushing the piston assembly until the full stroke of the piston is reached. This limits the movement of the
internal governor linkage in the fuel on direction so there is less fuel output and less horsepower. The rack position for

This reduces the pressure against piston assembly (5). Spring (4) moves the piston assembly away from the internal
governor linkage. This allows the internal linkage to move further in the fuel on direction which provides more

to the shaft of the governor drive gear. Piston assembly (4) and tappet assembly (7) are stroked up and down by cam (8)
and spring (3).

Fuel enters the fuel transfer pump through screen (1) and inlet check valve (2). On the upstroke of piston assembly (4),
inlet check valve (2) closes. Outlet check valve (5) closes in order to prevent fuel from being pulled back in the pump
from the outlet. As pressure increases above piston assembly (4), piston check valve (6) opens in order to allow fuel to
fill passage (9).

On the downstroke, increasing fuel pressure in passage (9) causes piston check valve (6) to close. The pressurized fuel
pushes outlet check valve (5) open. The fuel then flows through the main fuel filter and to the engine. Inlet check valve
(2) opens in order to allow fuel to fill the cavity above piston assembly (4).

During engine shutdown, the check valves are held closed by springs.

Fuel Shutoff Solenoid


SMCS Code: 1259

The fuel shutoff solenoid is used to move the fuel rack to the OFF position. When the fuel rack reaches the OFF position,
the engine will shut off. There are three different types of solenoids that are used in various applications.

Latching Solenoids
Mechanical Latching Solenoid

1. This solenoid uses an internal mechanical latching system to hold the solenoid in the Run position during engine
operation. There are two coils in the solenoid. The first coil is the start coil. The start coil is energized during engine
cranking. The start coil pulls the plunger into the solenoid to the Fuel ON position. The plunger position is maintained
mechanically by the mechanical latching system. The second coil is the stop coil. The stop coil disengages the
mechanical latching system. This allows the plunger to return to the Fuel OFF position. The solenoid contains a switch
that disconnects the stop coil when the solenoid is in the Fuel OFF position. During engine operation, neither one of the
coils are energized.

Magnetic Latching Solenoid

1. This solenoid uses an internal magnetic latching system to hold the solenoid in the Run position during engine
operation. There are two coils in the solenoid. The first coil is the start coil. The start coil is energized during engine
cranking. The start coil pulls the plunger into the solenoid to the Fuel ON position. The plunger position is maintained
magnetically by a permanent magnet. The second coil is the stop coil. The permanent magnet maintains the plunger
position until the stop coil is activated. When the stop coil is activated, the stop coil pushes the plunger away from the
magnet and the plunger spring pushes the plunger toward the Fuel OFF position. The solenoid contains a switch that
disconnects the stop coil when the solenoid is in the Fuel OFF position. During engine operation, neither one of the coils
are energized.

(1) Knob

(2) Rod

(3) Plastic cap

1. Remove plastic cap (3).

2. Pull out on rod (2) with pliers in order to place the solenoid in the RUN position. The plunger will latch in this
position.

3. Pull out on knob (1) in order to unlatch the solenoid. The plunger will return to the Fuel OFF position.

Nonlatching Solenoid
1. Unlike the latching solenoids, this solenoid requires voltage during engine operation. The solenoid contains only one
coil. When the coil is energized, the plunger is pulled in the Fuel ON position. When the voltage is removed from the
solenoid, the plunger spring pushes the plunger to the Fuel OFF position. The engine will shut off. This type of solenoid
is typically used on governors for truck applications.

The torque limiter is used in conjunction with torque cam (2) in order to control torque rise on the engine. With the
proper setting and the proper torque cam, a torque rise with two slopes can be achieved. In certain agricultural
applications, there is a rapid torque rise from rated torque to peak torque. At lower speeds, the rise is more natural.

The torque limiter consists of an additional torque limiter screw (1). As the engine speed drops from rated torque to peak
torque the rack follows the profile of torque cam (2). At the peak torque, limiter spool (3) contacts torque limiter screw
(1). This limits the rack. The torque cam profile continues to change. However, the torque cam profile is no longer used
since the rack is stopped by torque limiter screw (1).

Fuel Quality - Test


SMCS Code: 1280-081

This test checks for problems regarding fuel quality. Refer to Diesel Fuels and Your Engine, SEBD0717 for additional
details.

Use the following procedure to test for problems regarding fuel quality:

1. Determine if water and/or contaminants are present in the fuel. Check the water separator (if equipped). If a water
separator is not present, proceed to Step 2. Drain the water separator, if necessary. A full fuel tank minimizes the
potential for overnight condensation.

Note: A water separator can appear to be full of fuel when the water separator is actually full of water.

2. Determine if contaminants are present in the fuel. Remove a sample of fuel from the bottom of the fuel tank. Visually
inspect the fuel sample for contaminants. The color of the fuel is not necessarily an indication of fuel quality. However,
fuel that is black, brown, and/or similar to sludge can be an indication of the growth of bacteria or oil contamination. In
cold temperatures, cloudy fuel indicates that the fuel may not be suitable for operating conditions. The following
methods can be used to prevent wax from clogging the fuel filter:

· Fuel heaters
· Blending fuel with additives
· Utilizing fuel with a low cloud point such as kerosene
Refer to Operation and Maintenance Manual, "Fuel Recommendations" for more information.

3. Check fuelAPI with a 9U-7840 Fluid and Fuel Calibration Gp for low power complaints. The acceptable range of the
fuelAPI is 30 to 45 when the API is measured at 15 °C (60 °F), but there is a significant difference in energy within this
range. Refer to Tool Operating Manual, NEHS0607 for API correction factors when a low power problem is present and
API is high.

Note: A correction factor that is greater than 1.000 may be the cause of low power and/or poor fuel consumption.

4. If fuel quality is still suspected as a possible cause to problems regarding engine performance, disconnect the fuel inlet
line, and temporarily operate the engine from a separate source of fuel that is known to be good. This will determine if
the problem is caused by fuel quality. If fuel quality is determined to be the problem, drain the fuel system and replace
the fuel filters. Engine performance can be affected by the following characteristics :

· Cetane number of the fuel

file://C:\SIS\TMP\sis111prt.html 7/22/2008
Copyright 1991, 2008 Caterpillar Inc. All Rights Reserved. Page 2 of 2

8T-2700 Blowby/Air Flow Indicator 1

Damaged pistons or rings can cause too much pressure in the crankcase. This condition will cause the engine to run
rough. There will be more than the normal amount of fumes (blowby) rising from the crankcase breather. The breather
can then become restricted in a very short time, causing oil leakage at gaskets and seals that would not normally have
leakage. Blowby can also be caused by worn valve guides or by a failed turbocharger seal.

8T-2700 Blowby/Air Flow Indicator

The 8T-2700 Blowby/Air Flow Indicator is used to check the amount of blowby. Refer to Special Instruction,
SEHS8712, "Using the 8T-2700 Blowby/Air Flow Indicator" for the test procedure for checking the blowby.

Air in Fuel - Test


SMCS Code: 1280-081

This procedure checks for air in the fuel. This procedure also assists in finding the source of the air.

1. Examine the fuel system for leaks. Ensure that the fuel line fittings are properly tightened. Check the fuel level in the
fuel tank. Air can enter the fuel system on the suction side between the fuel transfer pump and the fuel tank.

2. Install a 2P-8278 Fuel Flow Tube (Sight Gauge) in the fuel return line. When possible, install the sight gauge in a
straight section of the fuel line that is at least 304.8 mm (12 inches) long. Do not install the sight gauge near the
following devices that create turbulence:

· Elbows
· Relief valves
· Check valves
Observe the fuel flow during engine cranking. Look for air bubbles in the fuel. If there is no fuel in the sight gauge,
prime the fuel system. Refer to Testing and Adjusting, "Fuel System - Prime" for more information. If the engine starts,
check for air in the fuel at varying engine speeds. When possible, operate the engine under the conditions which have
been suspect of air in the fuel.

Illustration 48

2P-8278 Fuel Flow Tube (Sight Gauge)

(1) A steady stream of small bubbles with a diameter of approximately 1.60 mm (0.063 inch) is an acceptable amount of
air in the fuel.

(2) Bubbles with a diameter of approximately 6.35 mm (0.250 inch) are also acceptable if there is two seconds to three
seconds intervals between bubbles.

(3) Excessive air bubbles in the fuel are not acceptable.

3. If excessive air is seen in the sight gauge in the fuel return line, install a second sight gauge at the inlet to the fuel
transfer pump. If a second sight gauge is not available, move the sight gauge from the fuel return line and install the sight
gauge at the inlet to the fuel transfer pump. Observe the fuel flow during engine cranking. Look for air bubbles in the
fuel. If the engine starts, check for air in the fuel at varying engine speeds.

If excessive air is not seen at the inlet to the fuel transfer pump, the air is entering the system after the fuel transfer pump.
Proceed to Step 6.

If excessive air is seen at the inlet to the fuel transfer pump, air is entering through the suction side of the fuel system.

To avoid personal injury, always wear eye and face protection


when using pressurized air.

To avoid damage, do not use more than 55 kPa (8 psi) to pressurize


the fuel tank.

4. Pressurize the fuel tank to 35 kPa (5 psi). Do not use more than 55 kPa (8 psi) in order to avoid damage to the fuel
tank. Check for leaks in the fuel lines between the fuel tank and the fuel transfer pump. Repair any leaks that are found.
Check the fuel pressure in order to ensure that the fuel transfer pump is operating properly. For information about
checking the fuel pressure, see Testing and Adjusting, "Fuel System Pressure - Test".

5. If the source of the air is not found, disconnect the supply line from the fuel tank and connect an external fuel supply
to the inlet of the fuel transfer pump. If this corrects the problem, repair the fuel tank or the stand pipe in the fuel tank.

6. If the injector sleeve is worn or damaged, combustion gases may be leaking into the fuel system. Also, if the O-rings
on the injector sleeves are worn, missing, or damaged, combustion gases may leak into the fuel system.

164-3310 Infrared Thermometer 1

When the engine runs at low idle, the temperature of an exhaust manifold port can indicate the condition of a fuel
injection nozzle.

A low temperature indicates that no fuel is flowing to the cylinder. An inoperative fuel injection nozzle or a problem
with the fuel injection pump could cause this low temperature.

A very high temperature can indicate that too much fuel is flowing to the cylinder. A malfunctioning fuel injection
nozzle could cause this very high temperature.

Use the 164-3310 Infrared Thermometer to check exhaust temperature. The Operator's Manual, NEHS0630 contains the
complete operating and maintenance instructions for the 164-3310 Infrared Thermometer.

An engine that runs roughly can have a leak at the valves. An engine that runs roughly can also have valves that need an
adjustment. Remove the head and inspect the valves and valve seats. This is necessary to find those small defects that
would not normally cause problems. Repairs of these problems are normally performed when you are reconditioning the
engine.

Cooling System - Inspect


SMCS Code: 1350-040

Cooling systems that are not regularly inspected are the cause for increased engine temperatures. Make a visual
inspection of the cooling system before any tests are performed.

Personal injury can result from escaping fluid under pressure.

If a pressure indication is shown on the indicator, push the


release valve in order to relieve pressure before removing any
hose from the radiator.

1. Check the coolant level in the cooling system. Refer to Operation and Maintenance Manual, "Cooling System Coolant
Level - Check".

2. Check the quality of the coolant. The coolant should have the following properties:

· Color that is similar to new coolant


· Odor that is similar to new coolant
· Free from dirt and debris
If the coolant does not have these properties, drain the system and flush the system. Refill the cooling system with the
correct mixture of water, antifreeze, and coolant conditioner. Refer to Operation and Maintenance Manual, "General
Coolant Information".

3. Look for leaks in the system.

Note: A small amount of coolant leakage across the surface of the water pump seals is normal. This leakage is required
in order to provide lubrication for this type of seal. A hole is provided in the water pump housing in order to allow this
coolant/seal lubricant to drain from the pump housing. Intermittent leakage of small amounts of coolant from this hole is
not an indication of water pump seal failure.

4. Ensure that the airflow through the radiator does not have a restriction. Look for bent core fins between the folded
cores of the radiator. Also, look for debris between the folded cores of the radiator.

Excessive Bearing Wear - Inspect


SMCS Code: 1203-040; 1211-040; 1219-040

When some components of the engine show bearing wear in a short time, the cause can be a restriction in an oil passage.

An engine oil pressure indicator may show that there is enough oil pressure, but a component is worn due to a lack of
lubrication. In such a case, look at the passage for the oil supply to the component. A restriction in an oil supply passage
will not allow enough lubrication to reach a component. This will result in early wear.

Excessive Engine Oil Consumption - Inspect


SMCS Code: 1348-040

Oil Leakage On Outside Of Engine


Check for leakage at the seals at each end of the crankshaft. Look for leakage at the oil pan gasket and all lubrication
system connections. Look for any oil that may be leaking from the crankcase breather. This can be caused by
combustion gas leakage around the pistons. A dirty crankcase breather will cause high pressure in the crankcase. A dirty
crankcase breather will cause the gaskets and the seals to leak.

Oil Leakage Into Combustion Area Of Cylinders


Oil leakage into the combustion area of the cylinders can be the cause of blue smoke. There are four possible ways for
oil leakage into the combustion area of the cylinders:

· Oil leakage between worn valve guides and valve stems


· Worn components or damaged components (pistons, piston rings, or dirty oil return holes)
· Incorrect installation of the compression ring and/or the intermediate ring
· Oil leakage past the seal rings in the impeller end of the turbocharger shaft
Excessive oil consumption can also be the result if oil with the wrong viscosity is used. Oil with a thin viscosity can be
caused by fuel leakage into the crankcase or by increased engine temperature.

Increased Engine Oil Temperature - Inspect


SMCS Code: 1348-040

When the engine is at operating temperature and you are using SAE 10W30 oil, the maximum oil temperature is 115 °C
(239 °F). This is the temperature of the oil after passing through the oil cooler.

Look for a restriction in the oil passages of the oil cooler. The oil temperature may be higher than normal when the
engine is operating. In such a case, the oil cooler may have a restriction. A restriction in the oil cooler will not cause low
oil pressure in the engine.

Determine if the oil cooler bypass valve is held in the open position. This condition will allow the oil to pass through the
valve instead of the oil cooler. The oil temperature will increase.

6V-7070 Digital Multimeter or the 146-4080 Digital Multimeter

The 6V-7070 Digital Multimeter or the 146-4080 Digital Multimeter is a hand-held service tool with a digital display,
that is completely portable. This multimeter is built with extra protection against damage in field applications. The
multimeter is equipped with 7 functions and 29 ranges. The 6V-7070 Digital Multimeter or the 146-4080 Digital
Multimeter has an instant ohms indicator. This indicator permits checking continuity for a fast inspection of the circuits.
The multimeter can also be used for troubleshooting capacitors that have small values.

Note: Refer to Special Instruction, SEHS7734 for complete information for the use of the 6V-7070 Digital Multimeter.
Refer to Operation Manual, NEHS0678 for complete information for the use of the 146-4080 Digital Multimeter.

Use the multimeter in the DCV range to find starting system components which do not function.

Move the start control switch in order to activate the starting solenoids. The starting solenoid's operation can be heard as
the pinions of the starting motors are engaged with the ring gear on the engine flywheel.

If a solenoid for a starting motor will not operate, it is possible that the current from the battery did not reach the
solenoid. Fasten one lead of the multimeter to the terminal connection for the battery cable on the solenoid. Touch the
other lead to a good ground. A zero reading indicates that there is a broken circuit from the battery. More testing is
necessary when there is a voltage reading on the multimeter.

The solenoid operation also closes the electric circuit to the motor. Connect one lead of the multimeter to the terminal
connection of the solenoid that is fastened to the motor. Touch the other lead to a good ground. Activate the starting
solenoid and look at the multimeter. A reading of the battery voltage shows that the problem is in the motor. The motor
must be removed for further testing. A zero reading on the multimeter shows that the solenoid contacts do not close. This
is an indication of the need for repair to the solenoid or an adjustment to be made to the pinion clearance for the starting
motor.

Perform a test. Fasten one multimeter lead to the terminal connection for the small wire at the solenoid and fasten the
other lead to the ground. Look at the multimeter and activate the starting solenoid. A voltage reading shows that the
problem is in the solenoid. A zero reading indicates that the problem is in the start switch or the wires for the start
switch.

Fasten one multimeter lead to the start switch at the terminal connection for the wire from the battery. Fasten the other
lead to a good ground. A zero reading indicates a broken circuit from the battery. Make a check of the circuit breaker and
wiring. If there is a voltage reading, the problem is in the start switch or in the wires for the start switch.

Starting motors that operate too slowly can have an overload because of too much friction in the engine that is being
started. Slow operation of the starting motors can also be caused by a short circuit, loose connections and/or dirt in the
motors.

Battery - Test
SMCS Code: 1401-081

Most of the tests of the electrical system can be done on the engine. The wiring insulation must be in good condition.
The wire and cable connections must be clean, and both components must be tight.

Never disconnect any charging unit circuit or battery circuit


cable from the battery when the charging unit is operated. A
spark can cause an explosion from the flammable vapor mixture
of hydrogen and oxygen that is released from the electrolyte
through the battery outlets. Injury to personnel can be the
result.

The battery circuit is an electrical load on the charging unit. The load is variable because of the condition of the charge
in the battery.

The charging unit will be damaged if the connections between the


battery and the charging unit are broken while the battery is being
charged. Damage occurs because the load from the battery is lost
and because there is an increase in charging voltage. High voltage
will damage the charging unit, the regulator, and other electrical
components.

1. Check the fuel level in the fuel tank. Inspect the cap for the fuel tank. Ensure that the vent in the fuel cap is not filled
with dirt.

2. Check all fuel lines for fuel leakage. The fuel lines must be free from restrictions and faulty bends. Verify that the fuel
return line is not collapsed.

3. Clean screen (6) inside the inlet fitting of the fuel transfer pump.

4. Operate the hand priming pump (if equipped). If excessive resistance is felt, inspect the fuel pressure regulating valve.
Make sure that the pressure regulator is installed correctly, and make sure that the pressure regulator functions correctly.

5. Install a new fuel filter (8).

6. Cut the old filter open with the 4C-5084 Oil Filter Cutter. Inspect the filter for excess contamination. Determine the
source of the contamination. Make the necessary repairs.

7. Service the primary fuel filter (if equipped).

8. Inspect the orifice that is in tube (1). Check the orifice for restrictions that would inhibit proper operation.

9. Operate the hand priming pump (if equipped). If uneven resistance is felt, test for air in the fuel. Refer to Testing and
Adjusting, "Air in Fuel - Test" for more information.

10. Remove any air that may be in the fuel system. Refer to Testing and Adjusting, "Fuel System - Prime".

Start Up Procedure
Note: Refer to Operation and Maintenance Manual, "Engine Starting" in the Operation Section.

After work has been done on the fuel system, consider the following precautions before you start the engine. Make sure
that you use this starting procedure to start the engine only after the fuel system has been worked on:

1. Disconnect the air inlet system from the turbocharger.

Be careful when placing the steel plate against the opening on


the turbocharger air inlet. To avoid crushed fingers, do not
position fingers between the steel plate and the opening on the
turbocharger air inlet. Due to excessive suction, the plate can be
forcefully pulled against the opening on the turbocharger air
inlet.

2. Another person will need to help as a precautionary step. This person should be ready to use the steel plate to cover
the turbocharger air inlet if a problem occurs.

file://C:\SIS\TMP\sisC11prt.html 7/22/2008
Copyright 1991, 2008 Caterpillar Inc. All Rights Reserved. Page 3 of 4

Note: Make sure that the steel plate is large enough to cover the entire turbocharger air inlet.

3. Start the engine.

Immediately place the steel plate against the opening on the turbocharger air inlet, if the engine operates in one of the
following ways:

· The engine runs too fast.


· The engine runs out of control.
Covering the opening will stop the air supply to the engine, so the engine will stop.

Inspection With The Engine Running


Either too much fuel for combustion or not enough fuel for combustion can be the cause of a problem in the fuel system.
Finding the source of the problem can be difficult, especially when you have smoke that rises from the exhaust.
Therefore, work is often done on the fuel system when the problem is really with some other part of the engine.

When noticeable smoke rises from the exhaust, this problem can be caused by a damaged unit injector. This unusual
smoke can also be caused by one or more of the reasons that follow:

· not enough air for good combustion


· an overload at high altitude
· oil leakage into combustion chamber
· altitude
· air inlet and exhaust leaks
· not enough compression
Note: Refer to Troubleshooting for more information on the fuel system.

Checking The Operation Of Individual Cylinders


Low temperature at an exhaust manifold port is an indication of no fuel to the cylinder. This can possibly be an
indication of an injector with a defect. An extra high temperature at an exhaust manifold port can be an indication of too
much fuel to the cylinder. High temperatures may also be caused by an injector with a defect. The difference between

file://C:\SIS\TMP\sisC11prt.html 7/22/2008

cylinders should be no more than 70 °C (158 °F).

Refer to Testing And Adjusting, "Exhaust Temperature - Test" for the procedure for checking the temperatures in the
exhaust manifold port.

Note: The timing hole plug (1) can be in one of two positions:

· The right front face of the flywheel housing (Illustration 52)


· the left front face of the flywheel housing (Illustration 53)
1. Remove timing hole plug (1) that is located on the front side of flywheel housing (2).

Note: Turn the engine with the four large bolts on the front of the crankshaft. Do not use the eight small bolts on the
front of the crankshaft pulley.

2. Put the timing bolt through the timing hole in the flywheel housing (2).

Turn the flywheel in the direction of normal engine rotation. Turn the flywheel until the timing bolt engages with the
hole in the flywheel.

Note: If the flywheel is turned beyond the point of engagement, the flywheel must be turned in the direction that is
opposite of normal engine rotation. Turn the flywheel by approximately 30 degrees. Then turn the flywheel in the
direction of normal engine rotation until the timing bolt engages with the threaded hole. When the No. 1 piston is at the
top center position, this procedure will remove the play from the gears.

3. Remove the valve cover.

The inlet valves and the exhaust valve for the No. 1 cylinder are fully closed under two conditions:

· No. 1 piston is on the compression stroke.


· The rocker arms can be moved by hand.
If the rocker arms cannot be moved and the valves are slightly open, the No. 1 piston is on the exhaust stroke.

Note: Refer to Testing And Adjusting, "Crankshaft Positions for Valve Lash Setting".

4. After the timing bolt has been installed in the flywheel, complete these procedures, as required:

a. Find the cylinders that need to be checked for the stroke position of the crankshaft.

b. Find the cylinders that need to be adjusted for the stroke position of the crankshaft.

5. When the actual stroke position is identified and the other stroke position is needed, remove the timing bolt from the
flywheel.

128-8822 Fuel System and Governor Tool Gp 1

(1) This Tool Group replaces the former 1U-6680 Fuel System and Governor Tool Gp .

This is an on engine test that is used to determine if the Fuel Ratio Control (FRC) is set properly. If the FRC is set
properly, no additional procedures will be required. If the FRC is set incorrectly, the governor must be removed and the
governor must be adjusted. The governor is adjusted according to the procedures that are covered in Service Manual,
SENR6454, "3114, 3116, and 3126 Engine Governors".

To determine the Fuel Ratio Control setting, complete the following steps:

1. Install the 128-8822 Fuel System and Governor Tool Gp. Refer to Systems Operation Testing and Adjusting, "Unit
Injector - Adjust" for the instructions on the installation of the 128-8822 Fuel System and Governor Tool Gp.

Note: A digital indicator is recommended for the following test procedures.

Illustration 54

Typical Governor

(1) Fuel Ratio Control (FRC)

(2) Port (boost line)

(3) Low idle screw

(4) High idle screw

2. Disconnect the boost line from port (2) for the boost line. Apply air to the port, once the boost line is disconnected.

Note: A regulated air supply of 140 to 210 kPa (20 to 30 psi) MUST be used in order to avoid damage to the FRC.

3. While the engine is operating at low idle, quickly actuate the throttle to the high idle position.

4. Record the maximum reading that is observed on the digital indicator as the engine's speed increases to high idle. This
reading is the dynamic maximum fuel setting value. Repeat the procedure several times and average the values.

Note: Static engine rack values and dynamic engine rack values may vary due to the following items: the method of fuel
setting calibration and the differences in governor settings. When the "on engine" fuel setting is adjusted statically, a
calibration pin is used as the reference dimension to the governor. This pin is used on all engines regardless of governor
settings. This common calibration point and the different settings in the governor will cause the static engine rack values
and dynamic engine rack values to differ. This difference depends on the part number of the governor since the load stop
setting can have an adjustment between 9.0 mm (0.35 inch) and 10.4 mm (0.41 inch). When the pin is in place, the
governor travel is restricted. When the pin is removed and the engine is running, the governor is unrestricted. This
procedure allows a higher dynamic engine rack value. this value is higher than one that can be obtained statically with
the calibration pin in place.

5. Disconnect the air pressure from the FRC and vent the FRC to the atmosphere.

6. While the engine is operating at low idle, quickly actuate the throttle to the high idle position.

7. Record the maximum reading that is observed on the digital indicator as the engine's speed increases to high idle. This
reading is the dynamic maximum fuel setting value. Repeat the procedure several times and average the values.

8. Subtract the FRC setting value that was obtained in Step 7 from the dynamic maximum fuel setting value that was
obtained in Step 4. This difference is the "on engine" FRC delta.

9. Use the following calculation in order to determine the governor's FRC delta. Subtract the specification for the FUEL
RATIO CONTROL from the specification for the LOAD STOP. This difference is the governor's FRC delta.

Note: Refer to Technical Marketing Information (TMI), "Governor Bench Performance Data" for the correct
specifications for the FUEL RATIO CONTROL and the LOAD STOP.

10. If the on engine FRC delta is within ±.20 mm ( ± 0.008 inch) of the specifications for the governor's FRC delta, then
the FRC is set properly.

11. If the on engine FRC delta is out of tolerance, the governor will need to be removed from the engine and the
governor will need to be set to specifications. Use the 1U-7326 Governor Calibration Bench in order to set the governor.

Unit Injector Synchronization - Adjust


SMCS Code: 1290-025

Injector synchronization is the setting of all fuel injector racks to a reference position so that each injector gives the same
amount of fuel to each cylinder. This is done by setting each fuel injector rack to the same position while the control
linkage is in a fixed position.

Always synchronize an injector after the injector has been removed, replaced, or reused. If the No. 1 injector is reused or
replaced, synchronization of all injectors must be checked and adjusted.

This entire procedure should be read and understood before you begin any work on the engine.

Refer to Table 13 for the tools that are required to check or adjust the unit injector synchronization. Many of the tools
that are required can be found in the 223-2454 Fuel System and Governor Tool Gp.

(1) Actual tooling may vary depending on the individual engine arrangement.

The following procedure may be used to synchronize the unit injectors and the following procedure may be used to
adjust the unit injectors.

1. Stop the engine and turn the electrical system to the OFF position.

2. Remove the fuel shutoff solenoid.

Note: If the fuel shutoff solenoid is inaccessible, the following steps may be followed.

a. Turn the engine start switch to the ON position. Briefly engage the starter. Do not start the engine. Return the

engine start switch to the ON position. Do not turn the engine start switch to the OFF position.

b. Turn the battery disconnect switch to the OFF position or disconnect the negative terminal of the battery. This
will leave the fuel shutoff solenoid in the OPEN position.

3. Remove the valve cover.

Illustration 65

4. Remove bolts (1) that attach the valve mechanism cover base.

Illustration 66

5. Attach Tooling (A) to the rail for the fuel (2).

Illustration 67

6. Install Tooling (B) in hole (3) for the valve mechanism cover base that is near the No. 1 cylinder. Attach Tooling (D)
to Tooling (E). Insert Tooling (E) into the hole in Tooling (B).

Note: Orient face (4) on Tooling (B) parallel to the crankshaft.

file://C:\SIS\TMP\sis1191prt.html 7/22/2008
Copyright 1991, 2008 Caterpillar Inc. All Rights Reserved. Page 3 of 4

7. Install the other Tooling (B) in hole (3) for the valve mechanism cover base that is near the No. 2 cylinder. Attach
Tooling (D) to Tooling (E). Insert Tooling (E) into the hole in Tooling (B).

Note: Orient face (5) on Tooling (B) parallel to the crankshaft.

8. When the engine is viewed from the flywheel end, rotate Tooling (A) in a counterclockwise direction. You should feel
resistance to a spring. Turn Tooling (A) past the start of the resistance of the spring. Zero out Tooling (E) for both the
injectors.

Note: Do not turn Tooling (A) all the way. This will lead to an inaccurate synchronization.

9. When the engine is viewed from the flywheel end, rotate Tooling (A) in a clockwise direction through the entire range
of motion. The readings on Tooling (E) should change as the position of Tooling (A) is changed. Take a note of the
values and of the difference in the values.

Illustration 68

10. If the values are within a tolerance of 0.05 mm (0.0020 inch), no adjustment is required. If an adjustment is required,
install Tooling (F) on the locknut at the base of the unit injector.

Illustration 69

11. Loosen the locknut with the outer rod (6) and adjust the injector with the inner rod (7). Tighten the locknut when the
adjustment is complete.

12. Repeat Step 8 through Step 11. Illustration 68 shows two unit injectors that have been properly synchronized.

13. Once the first two injectors have been synchronized, synchronize the remaining injectors by following the previous
procedure. Remove Tooling (B) from the No. 2 cylinder and move to the No. 3 cylinder. Do not move Tooling (B) from
the No. 1 cylinder. Always synchronize the injectors with the first injector. The first injector is the reference point for all
the injectors.

2. Clean the compressor wheel and clean the compressor housing if you find buildup of foreign material. If there is no
buildup of foreign material, go to Step 3.

3. Turn the rotating assembly by hand. While you turn the assembly, push the assembly sideways. The assembly should
turn freely. The compressor wheel should not rub the compressor housing. Replace the turbocharger if the compressor
wheel rubs the compressor wheel housing. If there is no rubbing or scraping, go to Step 4.

4. Inspect the compressor and the compressor wheel housing for oil leakage. An oil leak from the compressor may
deposit oil in the aftercooler. Drain and clean the aftercooler if you find oil in the aftercooler.

a. Check the oil level in the crankcase. If the oil level is too high, adjust the oil level.

b. Inspect the air cleaner element for restriction. If restriction is found, correct the problem.

c. Inspect the engine crankcase breather. Clean the engine crankcase breather or replace the engine crankcase
breather if the engine crankcase breather is plugged.

d. Remove the turbocharger oil drain line. Inspect the drain opening. Inspect the oil drain line. Inspect the area
between the bearings of the rotating assembly shaft. Look for oil sludge. Inspect the oil drain hole for oil sludge.
Inspect the oil drain line for oil sludge in the drain line. If necessary, clean the rotating assembly shaft. If
necessary, clean the oil drain hole. If necessary, clean the oil drain line.

e. If Steps 4.a through 4.d did not reveal the source of the oil leakage, the turbocharger has internal damage.
Replace the turbocharger.

Inspection of the Turbine Wheel and the Turbine Housing


Remove the air piping from the turbine outlet casing.

1. Inspect the turbine for damage by a foreign object. If there is damage, determine the source of the foreign object.
Replace the turbocharger. If there is no damage, go to Step 2.

2. Inspect the turbine wheel for buildup of carbon and other foreign material. Inspect the turbine housing for buildup of
carbon and foreign material. Clean the turbine wheel and clean the turbine housing if you find buildup of carbon or
foreign material. If there is no buildup of carbon or foreign material, go to Step 3.

3. Turn the rotating assembly by hand. While you turn the assembly, push the assembly sideways. The assembly should
turn freely. The turbine wheel should not rub the turbine wheel housing. Replace the turbocharger if the turbine wheel
rubs the turbine wheel housing. If there is no rubbing or scraping, go to Step 4.

4. Inspect the turbine and the turbine wheel housing for oil leakage. Inspect the turbine and the turbine wheel housing for
oil coking. Some oil coking may be cleaned. Heavy oil coking may require replacement of the turbocharger. If the oil is
coming from the turbocharger center housing go to Step 4.a. Otherwise go to "Inspection of the Wastegate".

a. Remove the turbocharger oil drain line. Inspect the drain opening. Inspect the area between the bearings of the
rotating assembly shaft. Look for oil sludge. Inspect the oil drain hole for oil sludge. Inspect the oil drain line for
oil sludge. If necessary, clean the rotating assembly shaft. If necessary, clean the drain opening. If necessary, clean
the drain line.

Copyright 1991, 2008 Caterpillar Inc. All Rights Reserved. Page 4 of 6

b. If crankcase pressure is high, or if the oil drain is restricted, pressure in the center housing may be greater than
the pressure of the turbine housing. Oil flow may be forced in the wrong direction and the oil may not drain.
Check the crankcase pressure and correct any problems.

c. If the oil drain line is damaged, replace the oil drain line.

d. Check the routing of the oil drain line. Eliminate any sharp restrictive bends. Make sure that the oil drain line is
not too close to the engine exhaust manifold.

e. If Steps 4.a through 4.d did not reveal the source of the oil leakage, the turbocharger has internal damage.
Replace the turbocharger.

Inspection of the Wastegate


The wastegate controls the amount of exhaust gas that is allowed to bypass the turbine side of the turbocharger. This
valve then controls the rpm of the turbocharger.

Illustration 74

(1) Actuating rod

(2) Canister

(3) Line

When the engine operates in conditions of low boost (lug), a spring presses against a diaphragm in canister (2). The
actuating rod (1) will move and the wastegate will close. Then, the turbocharger can operate at maximum performance.

When the boost pressure increases against the diaphragm in the canister (2), the wastegate will open. The rpm of the
turbocharger becomes limited. The rpm limitation occurs because a portion of the exhaust gases bypass the turbine wheel
of the turbocharger.

file://C:\SIS\TMP\sis1551prt.html 7/22/2008
Copyright 1991, 2008 Caterpillar Inc. All Rights Reserved. Page 5 of 6

The following levels of boost pressure indicate a problem with the wastegate:

· too high at full load conditions


· too low at all lug conditions
Note: The housing assembly for the wastegate is preset at the factory and no adjustments can be made.

If the high idle rpm or the engine rating is higher than given in the
Technical Marketing Information (TMI) for the height above sea
level at which the engine is operated, there can be damage to engine
or to turbocharger parts. Damage will result when increased heat
and/or friction due to the higher engine output goes beyond the
engine cooling and lubrication system's abilities.

To check the operation of the wastegate valve, remove line (3) and slowly apply 200 kPa (29 psi) of air to canister (2).
DO NOT EXCEED 200 kPa (29 psi). The actuating lever should move more than 0.50 mm (0.020 inch) when the
external supply of air is connected to line (3). If the actuating lever does not move at least 0.50 mm (0.020 inch), replace
the entire turbocharger or replace the housing assembly for the turbine. The housing assembly or the turbine includes the
wastegate.

The boost pressure controls the maximum rpm of the turbocharger, because the boost pressure controls the position of
the wastegate. The following factors also affect the maximum rpm of the turbocharger:

· the engine rating


· the horsepower demand on the engine
· the high idle rpm
· the height above sea level for engine operation
· inlet air restriction
· exhaust system restriction

Inlet Manifold Pressure - Test


SMCS Code: 1058-081

The efficiency of an engine can be checked by making a comparison of the pressure in the inlet manifold with the
information given in the TMI (Technical Marketing Information). The information is also listed on the Fuel Setting And
Related Information Microfiche. This test is used when there is a decrease of horsepower from the engine, yet there is no
real sign of a problem with the engine.

The correct pressure for the inlet manifold is listed in the TMI (Technical Marketing Information). The correct pressure
is also on the Fuel Setting And Related Information Microfiche. Development of this information is performed under the
following conditions:

· 99 kPa (29.7 in Hg) dry barometric pressure


· 29 °C (85 °F) outside air temperature
· 35 API rated fuel
On a turbocharged, aftercooled engine, a change in the fuel rating will change the horsepower. A change in the fuel
rating will change the inlet manifold pressure. If the fuel is rated above 35 API, the inlet manifold pressure can be less
than the pressure given in the TMI (Technical Marketing Information). The pressure will also be less than the pressure
that is listed on the Fuel Setting And Related Information Microfiche. If the fuel is rated below 35 API, the inlet
manifold pressure can be more than the pressure listed in the TMI (Technical Marketing Information). The pressure will
also be more than the pressure that is listed on the Fuel Setting And Related Information Microfiche.

Note: Ensure that the air inlet and the exhaust are not restricted when you are checking the inlet manifold pressure.

(1) Oil gallery plug

1. Remove oil gallery plug (1) from the side of the cylinder block.

2. Install the following Tools into the port in the left side of the engine: 1U-5470 Engine Pressure Test Group, 8J-7844
Adapter Fitting, 3K-0360 O-Ring Seal and 4M-5317 Reducing Bushing.

3. Start the engine. Run the engine with SAE 10W40 oil. Refer to Operation and Maintenance Manual, "Engine Oil" for
the recommendations of engine oil.

4. Record the value of the engine oil pressure when the engine is at operating temperature and operating under full load.

The minimum engine oil pressure should be approximately 250 kPa (36 psi). Minimum engine oil pressure at low idle
rpm (750 to 850 rpm) should be approximately 100 kPa (15 psi). Maximum engine oil pressure should be approximately
600 kPa (88 psi) when the engine is at operating temperature and operating under full load condition.

5. Compare the recorded engine oil pressure with the oil pressure indicators on the instrument panel.

6. An engine oil pressure indicator that has a defect or an engine oil pressure sensor that has a defect can give a false
indication of a low oil pressure or a high oil pressure. If there is a notable difference between the engine oil pressure
readings make necessary repairs.

7. If you have determined that the engine oil pressure is low, then go to "Reasons For Low Engine Oil Pressure".

8. If you have determined that the engine oil pressure is high, refer to "Reason for High Engine Oil Pressure".

Reasons For Low Engine Oil Pressure

Keep all parts clean from contaminants.

Contaminants may cause rapid wear and shortened component life.

Care must be taken to ensure that fluids are contained during


performance of inspection, maintenance, testing, adjusting and

file://C:\SIS\TMP\sis1761prt.html 7/22/2008

repair of the product. Be prepared to collect the fluid with suitable


containers before opening any compartment or disassembling any
component containing fluids.

Refer to Special Publication, NENG2500, "Caterpillar Tools and


Shop Products Guide" for tools and supplies suitable to collect and
contain fluids on Caterpillar products.

Dispose of all fluids according to local regulations and mandates.

Engine Oil Level Is Low

Check the engine oil level in the crankcase. The oil level can possibly be too far below the oil pump supply tube. This
will cause the oil pump not to have the ability to supply enough lubrication to the engine components. If the engine oil
level is low add engine oil in order to obtain the correct engine oil level. Refer to Operation and Maintenance Manual,
"Engine Oil" for the recommendations of engine oil.

The Engine Oil Pump Is Faulty

Check the following problems that may occur to the engine oil pump.

1. Air leakage in the supply side of the oil pump will also cause cavitation and loss of oil pressure. Check the supply side
of the oil pump and make necessary repairs. For information on the repair of the engine oil pump, refer to Disassembly
and Assembly, "Engine Oil Pump - Remove".

2. Oil pump gears that have too much wear will cause a reduction in oil pressure. Repair the engine oil pump. For
information on the repair of the engine oil pump, refer to Disassembly and Assembly, "Engine Oil Pump - Remove".

The Oil Pickup Tube Has A Leak Or A Restricted Inlet Screen

The inlet screen of the oil pickup tube for the engine oil pump can have a restriction. This restriction will cause
cavitation and a loss of engine oil pressure. Check the inlet screen on the oil pickup tube and remove any material that
may be restricting engine oil flow. Low engine oil pressure may also be the result of the oil pickup tube that is drawing
in air. Check the joints of the oil pickup tube for cracks or a damaged O-ring seal. Remove the engine oil pan in order to
gain access to the oil pickup tube and the oil screen. Refer to Disassembly and Assembly, "Engine Oil Pan - Remove and
Install" for more information.

Engine Oil Is Contaminated

Engine oil that is contaminated with fuel or coolant will cause low engine oil pressure. High engine oil level in the
crankcase can be an indication of contamination. Determine the reason for contamination of the engine oil and make the
necessary repairs. Replace the engine oil with the approved grade of engine oil. Refer to Operation and Maintenance
Manual, "Engine Oil" for the recommendations of engine oil.

The Engine Oil Bypass Valves Are Open

file://C:\SIS\TMP\sis1761prt.html 7/22/2008
Copyright 1991, 2008 Caterpillar Inc. All Rights Reserved. Page 5 of 6

Caterpillar oil filters are built to Caterpillar specifications. Use of


an oil filter not recommended by Caterpillar could result in severe
engine damage to the engine bearings, crankshaft, etc., as a result of
the larger waste particles from unfiltered oil entering the engine
lubricating system. Only use oil filters recommended by
Caterpillar.

If the engine oil bypass valves are held in the open position, a reduction in the oil pressure can be the result. This may be
due to debris in the engine oil. If the engine oil bypass valves are stuck in the open position, remove each engine oil
bypass valve and clean each bypass valve in order to correct this problem. You must also clean each bypass valve bore.
Install new engine oil filters. New engine oil filters will prevent more debris from causing this problem. For information
on the repair of the engine oil bypass valves, refer to Disassembly and Assembly, "Engine Oil Filter Base -
Disassemble".

The Engine Lubrication System Is Open

An oil line or an oil passage that is open, broken, or disconnected will cause low engine oil pressure. An open lubrication
system could be caused by a piston cooling jet that is missing or damaged. Determine the reason for an open lubrication
system of the engine and make the necessary repairs.

Piston Cooling Jets

The piston cooling jets direct engine oil toward the bottom of the piston in order to cool the piston. This also provides
lubrication for the piston pin. Breakage, a restriction or incorrect installation of the piston cooling jets will cause seizure
of the piston.

Engine Bearings Have Excessive Clearance

Excessive clearance at engine bearings will cause low engine oil pressure. Check the engine components that have
excessive bearing clearance and make the necessary repairs.

Reason for High Engine Oil Pressure

Keep all parts clean from contaminants.

Contaminants may cause rapid wear and shortened component life.

Engine oil pressure will be high if the engine oil bypass valves become stuck in the closed position and the engine oil
flow is restricted. Foreign matter in the engine oil system could be the cause for the restriction of the oil flow and the
movement of the engine oil bypass valves. If the engine oil bypass valves are stuck in the closed position, remove each
bypass valve and clean each bypass valve in order to correct this problem. You must also clean each bypass valve bore.
Install new engine oil filters. New engine oil filters will prevent more debris from causing this problem. For information

Media Number SENR3583-11 Publication Date 2003/06/01 Update Date 2003/06/06

Cooling System - Check (Overheating)


SMCS Code: 1350-535

Above normal coolant temperatures can be caused by many conditions. Use the following procedure to determine the
cause of above normal coolant temperatures:

Personal injury can result from escaping fluid under pressure.

If a pressure indication is shown on the indicator, push the


release valve in order to relieve pressure before removing any
hose from the radiator.

1. Check the coolant level in the cooling system. Refer to Operation and Maintenance Manual, "Cooling System Coolant
Level - Check". If the coolant level is too low, air will get into the cooling system. Air in the cooling system will cause a
reduction in coolant flow and bubbles in the coolant. Air bubbles will keep coolant away from the engine parts, which
will prevent the transfer of heat to the coolant. Low coolant level is caused by leaks or incorrectly filling the radiator.

2. Check the mixture of antifreeze and water. The mixture should be approximately 50 percent water and 50 percent
antifreeze with 3 to 6 percent coolant conditioner. Refer to Operation and Maintenance Manual, "General Coolant
Information". If the coolant mixture is incorrect, drain the system. Put the correct mixture of water, antifreeze and
coolant conditioner in the cooling system.

3. Check for air in the cooling system. Air can enter the cooling system in different ways. The most common causes of
air in the cooling system are not filling the cooling system correctly and combustion gas leakage into the cooling system.
Combustion gas can get into the system through inside cracks, a damaged cylinder head, or a damaged cylinder head
gasket. Air in the cooling system causes a reduction in coolant flow and bubbles in the coolant. Air bubbles keep coolant
away from the engine parts, which prevents the transfer of heat to the coolant.

4. Check the water temperature gauge. A water temperature gauge which does not work correctly will not show the
correct temperature. Refer to Testing and Adjusting, "Cooling System - Inspect".

5. Check the sending unit. In some conditions, the temperature sensor in the engine sends signals to a sending unit. The
sending unit converts these signals to an electrical impulse which is used by a mounted gauge. If the sending unit
malfunctions, the gauge can show an incorrect reading. Also if the electric wire breaks or if the electric wire shorts out,
the gauge can show an incorrect reading.

6. Check the radiator.

a. Check the radiator for a restriction to coolant flow. Check the radiator for debris, dirt, or deposits on the inside

file://C:\SIS\TMP\sis1811prt.html 7/22/2008
Copyright 1991, 2008 Caterpillar Inc. All Rights Reserved. Page 2 of 3

of the radiator core. Debris, dirt, or deposits will restrict the flow of coolant through the radiator.

b. Check for debris or damage between the fins of the radiator core. Debris between the fins of the radiator core
restricts air flow through the radiator core. Refer to Testing and Adjusting, "Cooling System - Inspect".

7. Check the filler cap. A pressure drop in the radiator can cause the boiling point to be lower. This can cause the cooling
system to boil. Refer to Testing and Adjusting, "Cooling System - Test".

8. Check the fan and/or the fan shroud.

a. The fan must be large enough to send air through most of the area of the radiator core. Ensure that the size of
the fan and the position of the fan are according to the OEM specifications.

b. The fan shroud must be the proper size and the fan shroud must be positioned correctly. Ensure that the size of
the fan shroud and the position of the fan shroud are according to the OEM specifications.

9. Check for loose drive belts.

a. A loose fan drive belt will cause a reduction in the air flow across the radiator. Check the fan drive belt for
proper belt tension. Adjust the tension of the fan drive belt, if necessary. Refer to Operation and Maintenance
Manual, "Belt - Inspect".

b. A loose water pump drive belt will cause a reduction in coolant flow through the radiator. Check the water
pump drive belt for proper belt tension. Adjust the water pump drive belt's tension, if necessary. Refer to
Operation and Maintenance Manual, "Belt - Inspect".

10. Check the cooling system hoses and clamps. Damaged hoses with leaks can normally be seen. Hoses that have no
visual leaks can soften during operation. The soft areas of the hose can become kinked or crushed during operation.
These areas of the hose can cause a restriction in the coolant flow. Hoses become soft and/or get cracks after a period of
time. The inside of a hose can deteriorate, and the loose particles of the hose can cause a restriction of the coolant flow.
Refer to Operation and Maintenance Manual, "Hoses and Clamps - Inspect/Replace".

11. Check for a restriction in the air inlet system. A restriction of the air that is coming into the engine can cause high
cylinder temperatures. High cylinder temperatures require higher than normal temperatures in the cooling system. Refer
to Testing and Adjusting, "Air Inlet and Exhaust System - Inspect".

a. If the measured restriction is higher than the maximum permissible restriction, remove the foreign material from
the engine air cleaner element or install a new engine air cleaner element. Refer to Operation and Maintenance
Manual, "Engine Air Cleaner Element - Clean/Replace".

b. Repeat the check for a restriction in the air inlet system.

c. If the measured restriction is still higher than the maximum permissible restriction, check the air inlet piping for
a restriction.

12. Check for a restriction in the exhaust system. A restriction of the air that is coming out of the engine can cause high
cylinder temperatures.

a. Make a visual inspection of the exhaust system. Check for damage to exhaust piping or for a damaged muffler.
If no damage is found, check the exhaust system for a restriction. Refer to Testing and Adjusting, "Air Inlet and

file://C:\SIS\TMP\sis1811prt.html 7/22/2008
Copyright 1991, 2008 Caterpillar Inc. All Rights Reserved. Page 3 of 3

Exhaust System - Inspect".

b. If the measured restriction is higher than the maximum permissible restriction, there is a restriction in the
exhaust system. Repair the exhaust system, as required.

13. Check the water temperature regulator. A water temperature regulator that does not open, or a water temperature
regulator that only opens part of the way can cause overheating. Refer to Testing and Adjusting, "Water Temperature
Regulator - Test".

14. Check the water pump. A water pump with a damaged impeller does not pump enough coolant for correct engine
cooling. Remove the water pump and check for damage to the impeller. Refer to Testing and Adjusting, "Water Pump -
Test".

15. Check the air flow through the engine compartment. The air flow through the radiator comes out of the engine
compartment. Ensure that the filters, air conditioner, and similar items are not installed in a way that prevents the free
flow of air through the engine compartment.

16. Consider high outside temperatures. When outside temperatures are too high for the rating of the cooling system,
there is not enough of a temperature difference between the outside air and coolant temperatures.

17. Consider high altitude operation. The cooling capacity of the cooling system goes down as the engine is operated at
higher altitudes. A pressurized cooling system that is large enough to keep the coolant from boiling must be used.

Cooling System - Test


SMCS Code: 1350-040; 1350-081

This engine has a pressure type cooling system. A pressure type cooling system has two advantages. The cooling system
can be operated in a safe manner at a temperature higher than the normal boiling point (steam) of water.

This type of system prevents cavitation in the water pump. Cavitation is the forming of low pressure bubbles in liquids
that are caused by mechanical forces. The formation of an air pocket or a steam pocket in this type of cooling system is
difficult.

Illustration 83

Boiling point of water

Remember that temperature and pressure work together. When a diagnosis is made of a cooling system problem,
temperature and pressure must be checked. Cooling system pressure will have an effect on the cooling system
temperature. For an example, refer to Illustration 83. This will show the effect of pressure on the boiling point (steam) of
water. This will also show the effect of height above sea level.

Personal injury can result from hot coolant, steam and alkali.

At operating temperature, engine coolant is hot and under


pressure. The radiator and all lines to heaters or the engine

file://C:\SIS\TMP\sis18C1prt.html 7/22/2008
Copyright 1991, 2008 Caterpillar Inc. All Rights Reserved. Page 2 of 11

contain hot coolant or steam. Any contact can cause severe


burns.

Remove filler cap slowly to relieve pressure only when engine is


stopped and radiator cap is cool enough to touch with your bare
hand.

Cooling System Conditioner contains alkali. Avoid contact with


skin and eyes.

The coolant level must be to the correct level in order to check the coolant system. The engine must be cold and the
engine must not be running.

After the engine is cool, loosen the pressure cap in order to relieve the pressure out of the cooling system. Then remove
the pressure cap.

The level of the coolant should not be more than 13 mm (0.5 inch) from the bottom of the filler pipe. If the cooling
system is equipped with a sight glass, the coolant should be to the proper level in the sight glass.

Illustration 88

1U-7297 Coolant/Battery Tester or 1U-7298 Coolant/Battery Tester

Check the coolant frequently in cold weather for the proper glycol concentration. Use either the 1U-7297
Coolant/Battery Tester or the 1U-7298 Coolant/Battery Tester in order to ensure adequate freeze protection. The testers
are identical except for the temperature scale. The testers give immediate, accurate readings. The testers can be used for
antifreeze/coolants that contain ethylene or propylene glycol.

Making the Correct Antifreeze Mixtures


Adding pure antifreeze as a makeup solution for the cooling system top-off is an unacceptable practice. Adding pure
antifreeze increases the concentration of antifreeze in the cooling system. This increases the concentration of the
dissolved solids and the undissolved chemical inhibitors in the cooling system. Add the antifreeze and water mixture to
the same freeze protection as your cooling system. The following chart assists in determining the concentration of
antifreeze to use. Refer to Operation and Maintenance Manual, "General Coolant Information".

Charging System - Test


SMCS Code: 1406-081

The condition of charge in the battery at each regular inspection will show if the charging system is operating correctly.
An adjustment is necessary when the battery is constantly in a low condition of charge or a large amount of water is
needed. A large amount of water would be more than one ounce of water per cell per week or per every 100 service
hours.

When it is possible, make a test of the charging unit and voltage regulator on the engine, and use wiring and components
that are a permanent part of the system. Off-engine testing or bench testing will give a test of the charging unit and
voltage regulator operation. This testing will give an indication of needed repair. After repairs are made, perform a test in
order to prove that the units have been repaired to the original condition of operation.

Illustration 106

8T-0900 Ammeter

The 8T-0900 Ammeter is completely portable. This ammeter is a self-contained instrument that measures electrical
currents without breaking the circuit and without disturbing the conductor's insulation.

The ammeter contains a digital display that is used to monitor current directly within a range between 1 ampere and 1200
amperes. If an optional 6V-6014 Cable is connected between this ammeter and a digital multimeter, current readings can
be viewed directly from the display of the multimeter. This can be accomplished under only one condition:

· the readings are less than 1 ammeter.


A lever opens the ammeter's jaws over a conductor. The conductor's diameter can not be larger than 19 mm (0.75 inch).

The spring loaded jaws close around the conductor for measuring the current. A trigger switch controls the ammeter. The
trigger switch can be locked into the ON position or into the OFF position.

After the trigger has been working and the trigger is turned to the OFF position, the reading appears in the digital display
for five seconds. This accurately measures currents in areas with a limited access. For example, these areas include areas
that are beyond the operator's sight. For DC operation, an ammeter contains a zero control, and batteries inside the
handle supply the power.

Note: Refer to Special Instruction, SEHS8420 for more information about using the 8T-0900 Ammeter.

· The damper is dented, cracked, or fluid is leaking from the damper.


· The paint on the damper is discolored from excessive heat.
· The damper is bent.
· The bolt holes are worn or there is a loose fit for the bolts.
· The engine has had a crankshaft failure due to torsional forces.

Inspect the viscous vibration damper

for signs of leaking and for signs of damage to the case. Either of
these conditions can cause the weight to contact the case. This
contact can affect damper operation.

Setting the Governor Load Stop Dimension for More Than 9.00 mm
SMCS Code: 1264-025

Note: Use the 6V-6106 Dial Indicator Gp to set the load stop output dimension when you bench test a governor. It is
possible for the 6V-6106 Dial Indicator Gp to have insufficient travel if the standard procedure is used to set the load
stop output dimension. A load stop dimension that is greater than 9.00 mm (0.354 inch) can occur on some Generator Set
Engines, Standby Generator Set Engines and Marine Engines. The 6V-6106 Dial Indicator Gp has adequate travel for the
testing procedure if one of the following steps are followed.

In order to set the load stop dimension to more than 9.00 mm (0.354 inch), use one of the following two procedures:

Governor (Types I, II, IV, and V) - Check


SMCS Code: 1264-535

Note: The following information is a functional description of the different governor test points. The governor test points
pertain to most governor applications. The "FUNC CHECK" settings were given generic terms in order to allow some
flexibility in providing for unknown requirements.

"LOAD STOP ADJ" - Load stop adjustment. Limit of the governor output at a rated engine speed

"THROT STOP ADJ" - An approximation of the high idle setting on the engine

"FRC ADJ" - Adjustment for the fuel ratio control (The FRC setting is regulated by emission laws)

"LOW IDLE ADJ" - Low idle adjustment

"FUNC CHECK #1" - Output of the governor at low idle and at high idle with the throttle stop backed out.

"FUNC CHECK #2" - Rated output of the governor after setting the throttle stop

"FUNC CHECK #3" - Rated output at Peak Torque (verifies proper torque cam)

"FUNC CHECK #4" - Low idle lug absolute output value

"FUNC CHECK #5" - Low idle lug change in output

Note: The preload dimension that is stated in the technical marketing information (TMI) should only be used as a
reference. The manufacturer of the governor is not required to meet the specification. The number of governor spring
shims is determined by the governor test bench calibration. Governor spring shims are added in order to increase the
tension on the high idle screw. Governor spring shims are removed in order to meet the function of low idle lug
specification. If you are rebuilding the governor, the reference for the governor spring preload dimension is a good
starting point.

The following procedures are used to functionally check a governor without removing the cover lug or the seal from the
throttle stop. This "check" is intended as an aid to determine if a governor is functioning correctly.

Use the following procedure if an engine performance complaint occurs and the suspected cause is the governor. The
Testing and Adjusting, "Governor (Type) - Adjust" procedure would be used if the governor did not pass the Testing and
Adjusting, "Governor (Type) - Check" procedure.

1. Install the governor on the calibration bench. Refer to the Testing and AdjustingGovernor Calibration Bench,
"Installation Of Governor On 1U-7326" section in this manual.

2. Connect the test bench to an electrical outlet. Turn the tachometer ON.

3. Turn the switch on the test bench to the ON position.

file://C:\SIS\TMP\sis2051prt.html 7/22/2008
Copyright 1991, 2008 Caterpillar Inc. All Rights Reserved. Page 2 of 5

Do not turn the speed control knob unless the test bench is running.
Damage to the variable speed drive may result. Except in the event
of an emergency, the speed control knob should always be returned
to the slowest rpm setting before the calibration bench is turned off.

4. Turn the control knob for the governor speed counterclockwise to the slowest speed. Inspect all of the fluid
connections for leakage. Perform any necessary repairs.

Note: Always approach a specified rpm setting from a minimum of 100 rpm above the rpm that is required. This will
ensure that the test readings are consistent for the entire test procedure.

All specifications for the governor adjustment procedure are in the Technical Marketing Information (TMI). If you are
checking a previously adjusted governor, the tolerance (±) factor should be doubled. The tolerance factor should be
referred to as an expanded tolerance.

As an example, if a tolerance in the specifications is listed as ± 0.05 mm (± 0.0020 inch), then the expanded tolerance for
this checking procedure would be increased to ± 0.10 mm (± 0.0039 inch). This expanded tolerance will not be listed in
the specifications. The tolerance must be calculated by the operator of the governor calibration bench.

(2) Throttle stop adjustment screw

5. If the governor is equipped with a fuel ratio control (FRC), connect a regulated air supply (a hand pump or a squeeze
pump) to the fuel ratio control.

A regulated air supply of 140 to 210 kPa (20 to 30 psi) must be used
to avoid damage to the fuel ratio control.

file://C:\SIS\TMP\sis2051prt.html 7/22/2008

6. Adjust the speed of the calibration bench to the specified load stop rpm. Slowly move the throttle to the low idle
position. Slowly move the throttle back to the throttle stop. Do not move the throttle again during this checking
procedure.

7. The output dimension should be within the expanded tolerance dimension in "FUNC CHECK #2" of the TMI data.

Note: If the governor is not equipped with a fuel ratio control, proceed to Step 11. For those governors that contain a fuel
ratio control, continue with Step 8.

8. Ensure that the air pressure that is going to the fuel ratio control is turned OFF. Any air pressure that may have
inadvertently been applied to the fuel ratio control must be removed. Disconnect the air supply hose, if necessary, in
order to purge any air that may be trapped in the line.

9. Adjust the speed of the calibration bench to the specified rpm for the fuel ratio control.

10. Apply regulated air pressure to the fuel ratio control for approximately three seconds. Purge the air pressure. Rotate
the throttle lever from the throttle stop to the low idle position and hold the throttle at low idle for approximately three
seconds. Return the lever to the full throttle position. The output dimension should be within the expanded tolerance
band for the specified dimension of the fuel ratio control.

Note: For the remainder of the test, the air supply to the fuel ratio control must be on.

11. Adjust the speed of the calibration bench to the rpm that is specified in "FUNC CHECK #3". The output dimension
should be within the expanded tolerance dimension.

12. Adjust the speed of the calibration bench to the specified "THROT STOP ADJ" rpm that is specified in the TMI.
Wait for one minute in order for the output dimension to be within the expanded tolerance dimension for "THROT
STOP ADJ". If the output dimension is still changing, you may need to wait longer.

The governor is operating correctly and the governor can be used again without any adjustment if the performance of the
governor is acceptable according to the tolerance checks. If the governor fails the fuel ratio control dimension check, the
dimension can be reset and the governor can still be used without any further adjustments. Refer to the Testing and
Adjusting, "Governor (Type) - Adjust" section in this manual. If an adjustment is made, the standard specification
tolerance is applicable and the expanded tolerance is not applicable.

If the governor fails any of the other dimension checks, proceed with Step 13.

13. It may be necessary to adjust throttle stop adjustment screw (2) during the factory dynamometer load testing in order
to provide the correct engine "FULL LOAD RPM". This is due to slight variations in other engine components. The
throttle stop adjustment may be correct for a particular engine, except when the governor is tested separately. The
governor may be outside of the expanded tolerance for the "THROT STOP ADJ" that is specified in the TMI. Refer to
Step 15 for additional information on the "THROT STOP ADJ".

The output dimension that is checked in Step 12 is considered to be the correct dimension when the following conditions
exist:

file://C:\SIS\TMP\sis2051prt.html 7/22/2008
Copyright 1991, 2008 Caterpillar Inc. All Rights Reserved. Page 4 of 5

· The governor that was tested must be installed on the original engine.
· The governor must have the original lockwire and tamper resistant seal that is fastened to the throttle stop.
· The engine must still have the same fuel injectors and the same fuel setting dimension.
If the governor meets all three of the above conditions, use the following procedure to check the functions of the
governor. Begin with Step 14. In all other instances, use the settings that are specified in the TMI. Other settings will
have an unknown effect on the performance of the governor.

14. Increase the speed of the calibration bench until the output dimension goes to zero. Decrease the speed on the
calibration bench until the output dimension is less than the throttle stop output dimension by 1 mm (0.039 inch).

Wait until the output dimension is stabilized.

15. Slowly reduce the speed on the calibration bench until the output dimension for the "THROT STOP ADJ" that is
specified in the TMI is reached. Wait until the reading stabilizes. The throttle stop output dimension speed may be higher
or lower than the specified rpm. Record the throttle stop output dimension speed. This rpm should be within ± 100 rpm
of the specified "THROT STOP RPM".

Note: If the speed that was recorded is within the ± 100 rpm, proceed to Step 16. If the speed that was recorded is not

Throttle Lever Orientation (Types IV, V, VI, VII, and Some III) - Check
SMCS Code: 1264-535

Table 16

Required Tools
Part Number Part Description Qty
1U-7316 Calibration Pin Group 1

The following instructions will ensure the proper orientation between the throttle lever and the throttle shaft for Type IV,
Type V, Type VI, Type VII and some Type III Governors.

A major feature that originated with the Type IV governor is the fact that the throttle lever is pressed onto the throttle
shaft while the governor is running on the calibration bench. This change was made in order to help compensate for a
stackup of internal tolerances in the governor, which sometimes made governor calibration difficult. Proper orientation
of the throttle lever is important so the governor will pass the calibration procedure. Proper orientation of the throttle
lever is also important so the governor will properly interface with the linkage during installation. Some linkage
adjustment may still be necessary.

Note: This procedure should be performed whenever a Type IV or Type V governor has had servicing or replacement of
internal components. This procedure checks the orientation of the throttle lever. If the orientation is not correct, a new
throttle lever must be installed with the correct orientation. If the governor has already been adjusted and the governor is
being placed on the calibration bench only to check the settings, this procedure is unnecessary. Go directly to the Testing
and Adjusting, "Governor (Type) - Check" section in this manual.

1. Install the governor on the 1U-7326 Governor Calibration Bench. For information on installing the governor on the
governor calibration bench, refer to the Testing and AdjustingGovernor Calibration Bench, "Installation Of Governor On
1U-7326" section in this manual.

3. Install calibration pin (2) and calibrate the output indicator. Refer to the Testing and AdjustingGovernor Calibration
Bench, "Installation Of Governor On 1U-7326" section in this manual for additional information.

4. Read the governor output position while the throttle lever is in the full throttle position and the bench is running at the
"THROT LEV PRESS" rpm.

Note: The throttle lever should be rotated counterclockwise and the radius on the throttle lever should be touching the
rear face of the housing. The "THROT LEV PRESS" rpm is specified in the TMI.

5. If the governor output position is within the range that is specified in the TMI for "THROT LEV PRESS", the throttle
lever is already in the correct position. Proceed to the Testing and Adjusting, "Governor (Type) - Adjust" section in this
manual to adjust the governor.

6. If the governor output position is not within the range that is specified in the TMI, the throttle lever must be removed
and a new throttle lever must be installed with the correct orientation. Refer to the Testing and Adjusting, "Throttle
Lever (Types IV, V, VI, VII, and Some III) - Remove" and the Testing and Adjusting, "Throttle Lever (Types IV, V, VI,
VII, and Some III) - Install" section in this manual. This procedure checks the orientation of the throttle lever. If the
orientation is not correct, a new throttle lever must be installed with the correct orientation.

Governor (Type III) - Check


SMCS Code: 1264-535

The following procedures are used in order to functionally check a Type III governor. The housing cover plug and the
seal for the throttle stop do not need to be removed. This check is intended as an aid to determine if a governor is
functioning correctly.

1. Install the governor on the governor calibration bench. Refer to the Testing and AdjustingGovernor Calibration
Bench, "Installation Of Governor On 1U-7326" section in this manual for installation procedures.

Note: The load stop is set higher than 9.00 mm (0.354 inch) and the calibration must be set. Refer to the Testing and
Adjusting, "Setting the Governor Load Stop Dimension For More Than 9.00 mm" section in this manual.

Note: Follow all of the operating procedures for the governor calibration bench that are specified in the procedure for
checking other types of governors.

All specifications for the governor adjustment procedure are in the Technical Marketing Information (TMI). When you
check a previously adjusted governor, the tolerance (±) factor must be doubled. This will be referred to as an expanded
tolerance.

2. Adjust the speed of the calibration bench to the LOAD STOP rpm that is specified in the TMI. Slowly move the
throttle to the LOW IDLE position and back to the THROTTLE STOP position. Do not move the throttle again during
this checking procedure.

3. Check the governor output dimension. The governor output dimension should be within the expanded tolerance
dimension in "FUNC CHECK #2" of the TMI.

4. Adjust the speed of the calibration bench to the "THROT STOP ADJ" rpm from the TMI. Wait for one minute in
order for the output dimension to be within the "THROT STOP ADJ" expanded tolerance dimension. If the output
dimension is still changing, you may need to wait longer.

The governor is operating correctly and the governor can be used again without any adjustment if the performance of the
governor is acceptable according to the tolerance checks.

If the governor fails any of the above tests, follow the procedures toward the end of the checking procedure for the other
types of governors in the Testing and Adjusting, "Governor (Types I, II, IV, and V) - Check".

5. Reduce the speed of the calibration bench to the lowest setting. Turn the switch to the OFF position. The tachometer
will turn off automatically after a short period of time.

6. After the governor has been installed on the engine and the low idle speed has been adjusted, seal the throttle
adjustment screw with the lockwire and the tamper resistant seal.

8. Rotate the throttle shaft with two thumb screws (4). The two thumb screws will adjust the governor output to the final
position. Keep both thumb screws tight against arm (E). When the setscrew is released the throttle shaft will be locked in
position.

9. Decrease the speed of the calibration bench until the governor output becomes positive. When the governor output
becomes positive, adjust the speed of the calibration bench to the "THROT LEV PRESS" rpm that is specified in the
TMI. If the governor output is not within the range that is specified in the TMI, repeat Steps 6 through 9, if necessary.

Illustration 92

10. Maintain the "THROT LEV PRESS" rpm on the calibration bench. Verify that high idle screw (2) is backed out and
that throttle lever (1) is rotated fully in the counterclockwise direction so that the throttle lever touches the rear housing
face. Hold the throttle lever in this position.

Note: The throttle lever should sit squarely on the shaft and against the housing face. Make sure that the throttle lever is
not in a bind.

12. Loosen the setscrew on Tool (E).

13. Rotate the throttle lever fully counterclockwise so the high idle bump on the throttle lever touches the rear housing
face. Decrease the speed of the test bench until the governor output is positive. Return the speed of the test bench to the
"THROT LEV PRESS" rpm that is specified in the TMI. Note the governor output.

14. If the governor output is within the range for the "THROT LEV PRESS" that is specified in the TMI, the throttle
lever is correctly positioned. Proceed with the standard governor adjustment procedure. Refer to the Testing and
Adjusting, "Governor (Type) - Adjust" section in this manual.

15. If the governor output is not within the range for the "THROT LEV PRESS" that is specified in the TMI, the throttle
lever must be removed and a new lever must be installed with the correct orientation. Repeat this entire procedure after
the throttle lever is installed.

198-9145 Plastic Gauge (Yellow) 0.230 to 0.510 mm (0.009 to 0.020 inch) 1

Keep all parts clean from contaminants.

Contaminants may cause rapid wear and shortened component life.

Note: Caterpillar does not recommend the checking of the actual bearing clearances particularly on small engines. This
is because of the possibility of obtaining inaccurate results and the possibility of damaging the bearing or the journal
surfaces. Each Caterpillar engine bearing is quality checked for specific wall thickness.

Note: The measurements should be within specifications and the correct bearings should be used. If the crankshaft
journals and the bores for the block and the rods were measured during disassembly, no further checks are necessary.
However, if the technician still wants to measure the bearing clearances, Tooling (A) is an acceptable method. Tooling
(A) is less accurate on journals with small diameters if clearances are less than 0.10 mm (0.004 inch).

file://C:\SIS\TMP\sis57E1prt.html 7/22/2008
Copyright 1991, 2008 Caterpillar Inc. All Rights Reserved. Page 2 of 3

Lead wire, shim stock or a dial bore gauge can damage the bearing
surfaces.

The technician must be very careful to use Tooling (A) correctly. The following points must be remembered:

· Ensure that the backs of the bearings and the bores are clean and dry.
· Ensure that the bearing locking tabs are properly seated in the tab grooves.
· The crankshaft must be free of oil at the contact points of Tooling (A).
1. Put a piece of Tooling (A) on the crown of the bearing that is in the cap.

Note: Do not allow Tooling (A) to extend over the edge of the bearing.

2. Use the correct torque-turn specifications in order to install the bearing cap. Do not use an impact wrench. Be careful
not to dislodge the bearing when the cap is installed.

Note: Do not turn the crankshaft when Tooling (A) is installed.

3. Carefully remove the cap, but do not remove Tooling (A). Measure the width of Tooling (A) while Tooling (A) is in
the bearing cap or on the crankshaft journal. Refer to Illustration 252.

Illustration 252

Typical Example

4. Remove all of Tooling (A) before you install the bearing cap.

Note: When Tooling (A) is used, the readings can sometimes be unclear. For example, all parts of Tooling (A) are not
the same width. Measure the major width in order to ensure that the parts are within the specification range. Refer to
Specifications Manual, "Connecting Rod Bearing Journal" and Specifications Manual, "Main Bearing Journal" for the
correct clearances.

Push down on the rear cover until the cover makes contact with the governor housing. Zero the dial indicator. Slowly
release the pressure on the rear cover. As the cover is pushed out by the force of the spring under the cover, rotate the
cover for approximately 90 degrees. The reading on the dial indicator will determine the amount of preload on the
spring. Add shims or remove shims in order to establish the proper preload on the spring. Refer to the Technical
Marketing Information (TMI) for the governor spring preload dimension according to the governor group number.

Note: The rear cover assembly must move freely.

Note: The preload dimension that is stated in the TMI should only be used for reference. The manufacturer of the
governor is not required to meet the specification. The number of governor spring shims is determined by the governor
test bench calibration. Governor spring shims are added in order to increase the tension on the high idle screw. Governor
spring shims are removed in order to meet the function of low idle lug specification. If you are rebuilding the governor,
the reference for the governor spring preload dimension is a good starting point.

58. Remove Tool (M) and cover assembly (6). Install O-ring seal (7) on cover assembly (6). Put cover assembly (6) in
position and install bolts (1).

55. Install the 1U-7308 Shim Adjustment Tool (Tool (J)) and put the dial indicator point on the center of the rear cover.
Push down on the rear cover until the cover makes contact with the governor housing. Zero the dial indicator. Slowly
release the pressure on the rear cover. As the cover is pushed out by the force of the spring under the cover, rotate the
cover for approximately 90 degrees. The reading on the dial indicator will determine the amount of preload on the
spring. Add shims or remove shims in order to establish the proper preload on the spring. Refer to the Technical
Marketing Information (TMI) for the governor spring preload dimension according to the governor group number.

Note: The rear cover assembly must move freely.

Note: The preload dimension that is stated in the TMI should only be used for reference. The manufacturer of the
governor is not required to meet the specification. The number of governor spring shims is determined by the governor
test bench calibration. Governor spring shims are added in order to increase the tension on the high idle screw. Governor
spring shims are removed in order to meet the function of low idle lug specification. If you are rebuilding the governor,
the reference for the governor spring preload dimension is a good starting point.

56. Remove Tool (J) and cover assembly (6). Install O-ring seal (7) on cover assembly (6). Put cover assembly (6) in
position and install bolts (1).

57. Install the 1U-7308 Shim Adjustment Tool (Tool (M)) and put the dial indicator point on the center of the rear cover.
Push down on the rear cover until the cover makes contact with the governor housing. Zero the dial indicator. Slowly
release the pressure on the rear cover. As the cover is pushed out by the force of the spring under the cover, rotate the
cover for approximately 90 degrees. The reading on the dial indicator will determine the amount of preload on the
spring. Add shims or remove shims in order to establish the proper preload on the spring. Refer to the Technical
Marketing Information (TMI) for the governor spring preload dimension according to the governor group number.

Note: The rear cover assembly must move freely.

Note: The preload dimension that is stated in the TMI should only be used for reference. The manufacturer of the
governor is not required to meet the specification. The number of governor spring shims is determined by the governor
test bench calibration. Governor spring shims are added in order to increase the tension on the high idle screw. Governor
spring shims are removed in order to meet the function of low idle lug specification. If you are rebuilding the governor,
the reference for the governor spring preload dimension is a good starting point.

58. Remove Tool (M) and cover assembly (6). Install O-ring seal (7) on cover assembly (6). Put cover assembly (6) in
position and install bolts (1).

57. Install the 1U-7308 Shim Adjustment Tool (Tool (M)) and put the dial indicator point on the center of the rear cover.
Push down on the rear cover until the cover makes contact with the governor housing. Zero the dial indicator. Slowly
release the pressure on the rear cover. As the cover is pushed out by the force of the spring under the cover, rotate the
cover for approximately 90 degrees. The reading on the dial indicator will determine the amount of preload on the
spring. Add shims or remove shims in order to establish the proper preload on the spring. Refer to the Technical
Marketing Information (TMI) for the governor spring preload dimension according to the governor group number.

Note: The rear cover assembly must move freely.

Note: The preload dimension that is stated in the TMI should only be used for reference. The manufacturer of the
governor is not required to meet the specification. The number of governor spring shims is determined by the governor
test bench calibration. Governor spring shims are added in order to increase the tension on the high idle screw. Governor
spring shims are removed in order to meet the function of low idle lug specification. If you are rebuilding the governor,
the reference for the governor spring preload dimension is a good starting point.

58. Remove Tool (M) and cover assembly (6). Install O-ring seal (7) on cover assembly (6). Put cover assembly (6) in
position and install bolts (1).

Push down on the rear cover until the cover makes contact with the governor housing. Zero the dial indicator. Slowly
release the pressure on the rear cover. As the cover is pushed out by the force of the spring under the cover, rotate the
cover for approximately 90 degrees. The reading on the dial indicator will determine the amount of preload on the
spring. Add shims or remove shims in order to establish the proper preload on the spring. Refer to the Technical
Marketing Information (TMI) for the governor spring preload dimension according to the governor group number.

Note: The rear cover assembly must move freely.

Note: The preload dimension that is stated in the TMI should only be used for reference. The manufacturer of the
governor is not required to meet the specification. The number of governor spring shims is determined by the governor
test bench calibration. Governor spring shims are added in order to increase the tension on the high idle screw. Governor
spring shims are removed in order to meet the function of low idle lug specification. If you are rebuilding the governor,
the reference for the governor spring preload dimension is a good starting point.

64. Remove Tool (K) and cover assembly (6). Install O-ring seal (7) on cover assembly (6). Put cover assembly (6) in
position and install bolts (1).

spring. Add shims or remove shims in order to establish the proper preload on the spring. Refer to the Technical
Marketing Information (TMI) for the governor spring preload dimension according to the governor group number.

Note: The rear cover assembly must move freely.

Note: The preload dimension that is stated in the TMI should only be used for reference. The manufacturer of the
governor is not required to meet the specification. The number of governor spring shims is determined by the governor
test bench calibration. Governor spring shims are added in order to increase the tension on the high idle screw. Governor
spring shims are removed in order to meet the function of low idle lug specification. If you are rebuilding the governor,
the reference for the governor spring preload dimension is a good starting point.

73. Remove Tool (K) and cover assembly (6). Install O-ring seal (7) on cover assembly (6). Put cover assembly (6) in
position and install bolts (1).

Push down on the rear cover until the cover makes contact with the governor housing. Zero the dial indicator. Slowly
release the pressure on the rear cover. As the cover is pushed out by the force of the spring under the cover, rotate the
cover for approximately 90 degrees. The reading on the dial indicator will determine the amount of preload on the
spring. Add shims or remove shims in order to establish the proper preload on the spring. Refer to the Technical
Marketing Information (TMI) for the governor spring preload dimension according to the governor group number.

Note: The rear cover assembly must move freely.

Note: The preload dimension that is stated in the TMI should only be used for reference. The manufacturer of the
governor is not required to meet the specification. The number of governor spring shims is determined by the governor
test bench calibration. Governor spring shims are added in order to increase the tension on the high idle screw. Governor
spring shims are removed in order to meet the function of low idle lug specification. If you are rebuilding the governor,
the reference for the governor spring preload dimension is a good starting point.

73. Remove Tool (K) and cover assembly (6). Install O-ring seal (7) on cover assembly (6). Put cover assembly (6) in
position and install bolts (1).

1. Install bearing cups (20) and (21) in pinion housing (13). Bearing cups (20) and (21) must be against the shoulders in
pinion housing (13).

2. Install bearing cone (14) next to the pinion teeth on bevel pinion (17). Bearing cone (14) must be against the shoulder
on bevel pinion (17).

3. Lubricate the bearing and install bevel pinion (17) in pinion housing (13). Lubricate bearing cone (12) and install

bearing cone (12).

4. Position the assembly in a soft jawed vise. Tighten the vise against the teeth on bevel pinion (17). Install washer (19)
and nut (11). While you are turning pinion housing (13), tighten nut (11). Tighten nut (11) until the specified torque that
is needed to turn bevel pinion (17) is reached.

New bearings . . . 0.9 ± 1.1 N·m (7.97 ± 9.74 lb in)

Used bearings . . . 0.45 ± 0.55 N·m (3.983 ± 4.868 lb in)

Check bevel pinion (17) in order to ensure that there is zero end play.

5. If the bearing preload exceeds the specified torque, loosen nut (11) by 1/8 of a turn. Reseat bearing cone (12).

Repeat Step 4.

6. When the torque that is needed to turn bevel pinion (17) is correct, lock the nut (11). Lock the nut (11) by bending one
of the tabs on lock (18) into the closest slot in nut (11). If necessary, tighten nut (11) slightly in order to align a slot in the
nut with a tab on lock (18).

Note: The nut may be reused if the nut is not damaged during disassembly.

Differential Backlash and Bearing Adjustment


Note: The following procedure controls backlash and bearing preload. This procedure gives the same results for used
bearings and for new bearings.

1. Fasten pinion housing (13) to carrier (7). If the original gears, the carrier assembly and the housing are used again, use
the original thickness of shim pack (6). If any of these parts are replaced, install a shim pack thickness of 1.73 mm
(0.068 inch).

Note: When you adjust the tooth contact pattern, make sure that there is a change in the thickness of shim pack (6).

2. Tighten eight bolts (5) to a torque of 135 ± 15 N·m (100 ± 11 lb ft).

3. When pinion housing (13) is fastened to carrier (7), position bevel pinion (17) in a downward vertical position.

4. Lubricate bearings and install bearing cups on the differential bearings in order to protect the bearings.

5. With a lifting device, lower the differential into carrier (7). Bevel gear (16) should be oriented next to dowel pin (23).
Check sleeve (3) for proper seating.

6. Install caps (15) and (22) and adjustment nuts (8) and (24). Adjustment nuts (8) and (24) must turn freely.

7. Tighten the four cap bolts to a torque of 100 N·m (75 lb ft).

8. Tighten adjustment nuts (8) and (24) until there is a small amount of backlash and zero preload on differential
bearings.

9. Reposition the assembly so that bevel pinion (17) is in the horizontal position. The centerline of the axle must be
vertical and the bevel gear must be facing upward. Measure the torque that is required to rotate bevel pinion (17). Record
this measurement.

10. While you turn the bevel gear, tighten adjustment nut (24) until the pinion backlash is zero.

11. Loosen adjustment nut (24) to the nearest lock position.

12. While you turn the bevel gear, tighten adjustment nut (8) until the torque that is required to rotate bevel pinion (17)
increases 20% over the torque reading in Step 9.

13. Without moving the bevel gear, loosen adjustment nut (8). Hand tighten adjustment nut (8).

14. Attach a magnetic base for a dial indicator at location (7A). Place the dial indicator on the differential housing at
location (9).

15. While you turn the bevel gear, tighten adjustment nut (24) by three notches. The reading on the dial indicator should
be 0.30 ± 0.05 mm (0.012 ± 0.002 inch).

Note: If the reading on the dial indicator is too low, tighten adjustment nut (24) by one additional notch. Repeat until the
reading on the dial indicator is correct. This will preload the bearings.

16. Measure the rolling torque at bevel pinion (17). The correct rolling torque is shown below.

New bearings . . . 1.7 ± 0.3 N·m (15.05 ± 2.66 lb in)

Used bearings . . . 0.85 ± 0.30 N·m (7.52 ± 2.66 lb in)

Note: If the rolling torque is not correct, repeat Steps 7 through 16.

17. Torque the four cap bolts to 370 ± 50 N·m (273 ± 37 lb ft).

18. Measure the backlash between the bevel gear (16) and bevel pinion (17). The backlash must be 0.25 + 0.10 - 0.07
mm (0.010 + 0.004 - 0.003 inch).

19. If there is too much backlash, loosen adjustment nut (8) and tighten adjustment nut (24) to the same amount.

20. If there is not enough backlash, loosen adjustment nut (24) and tighten adjustment nut (8) to the same amount.

Note: The differential preload will be kept only if one adjustment nut is loosened and the other adjustment nut is
tightened to the same amount.

21. Install the locks (10) for the adjustment nuts.

After the backlash and preload adjustments have been made, the tooth contact between bevel pinion (17) and bevel gear
(16) must be checked. Do the following procedure.

1. Put a small amount of paint pigment and oil on the teeth of bevel gear (16).

2. Turn bevel pinion (17) in both directions.

3. The correct area of tooth contact is located equally on both sides. The area starts near the inside end of the teeth of
bevel gear (16). See Illustration (B) for an example of the correct area of tooth contact.

If the marks that are made on the teeth of bevel gear (16) look like the marks in Illustration (D), do the following
procedures.

1. Remove some of shim pack (6).

2. Loosen the four cap bolts to the torque that is indicated in Step 7.

3. Repeat Steps 17 through 21.

Note: Always make sure that the backlash adjustment is correct before an adjustment is made to the area of tooth
contact. Several adjustments to the backlash and tooth contact may be necessary to get the correct adjustments.

After adjustments are made, remove the paint from the gears. Install the locks and bolts on caps (15) and (22).

1. Install bearing cups (20) and (21) in pinion housing (13). Bearing cups (20) and (21) must be against the shoulders in
pinion housing (13).

2. Install bearing cone (14) next to the pinion teeth on bevel pinion (17). Bearing cone (14) must be against the shoulder
on bevel pinion (17).

3. Lubricate the bearing and install bevel pinion (17) in pinion housing (13). Lubricate bearing cone (12) and install
bearing cone (12).

4. Position the assembly in a soft jawed vise. Tighten the vise against the teeth on bevel pinion (17). Install washer (19)
and nut (11). While you are turning pinion housing (13), tighten nut (11). Tighten nut (11) until the specified torque that

file://C:\SIS\TMP\sis46D1prt.html 7/21/2008
Copyright 1991, 2008 Caterpillar Inc. All Rights Reserved. Page 4 of 7

is needed to turn bevel pinion (17) is reached.

New bearings . . . 0.9 ± 1.1 N·m (7.97 ± 9.74 lb in)

Used bearings . . . 0.45 ± 0.55 N·m (3.983 ± 4.868 lb in)

Check bevel pinion (17) in order to ensure that there is zero end play.

5. If the bearing preload exceeds the specified torque, loosen nut (11) by 1/8 of a turn. Reseat bearing cone (12).

Repeat Step 4.

6. When the torque that is needed to turn bevel pinion (17) is correct, lock the nut (11). Lock the nut (11) by bending one
of the tabs on lock (18) into the closest slot in nut (11). If necessary, tighten nut (11) slightly in order to align a slot in the
nut with a tab on lock (18).

Note: The nut may be reused if the nut is not damaged during disassembly.

Differential Backlash and Bearing Adjustment


Note: The following procedure controls backlash and bearing preload. This procedure gives the same results for used
bearings and for new bearings.

1. Fasten pinion housing (13) to carrier (7). If the original gears, the carrier assembly and the housing are used again, use
the original thickness of shim pack (6). If any of these parts are replaced, install a shim pack thickness of 1.73 mm
(0.068 inch).

Note: When you adjust the tooth contact pattern, make sure that there is a change in the thickness of shim pack (6).

2. Tighten eight bolts (5) to a torque of 135 ± 15 N·m (100 ± 11 lb ft).

3. When pinion housing (13) is fastened to carrier (7), position bevel pinion (17) in a downward vertical position.

4. Lubricate bearings and install bearing cups on the differential bearings in order to protect the bearings.

5. With a lifting device, lower the differential into carrier (7). Bevel gear (16) should be oriented next to dowel pin (23).
Check sleeve (3) for proper seating.

6. Install caps (15) and (22) and adjustment nuts (8) and (24). Adjustment nuts (8) and (24) must turn freely.

7. Tighten the four cap bolts to a torque of 100 N·m (75 lb ft).

8. Tighten adjustment nuts (8) and (24) until there is a small amount of backlash and zero preload on differential
bearings.

9. Reposition the assembly so that bevel pinion (17) is in the horizontal position. The centerline of the axle must be
vertical and the bevel gear must be facing upward. Measure the torque that is required to rotate bevel pinion (17). Record
this measurement.

file://C:\SIS\TMP\sis46D1prt.html 7/21/2008
Copyright 1991, 2008 Caterpillar Inc. All Rights Reserved. Page 5 of 7

10. While you turn the bevel gear, tighten adjustment nut (24) until the pinion backlash is zero.

11. Loosen adjustment nut (24) to the nearest lock position.

12. While you turn the bevel gear, tighten adjustment nut (8) until the torque that is required to rotate bevel pinion (17)
increases 20% over the torque reading in Step 9.

13. Without moving the bevel gear, loosen adjustment nut (8). Hand tighten adjustment nut (8).

14. Attach a magnetic base for a dial indicator at location (7A). Place the dial indicator on the differential housing at
location (9).

15. While you turn the bevel gear, tighten adjustment nut (24) by three notches. The reading on the dial indicator should
be 0.30 ± 0.05 mm (0.012 ± 0.002 inch).

Note: If the reading on the dial indicator is too low, tighten adjustment nut (24) by one additional notch. Repeat until the
reading on the dial indicator is correct. This will preload the bearings.

16. Measure the rolling torque at bevel pinion (17). The correct rolling torque is shown below.

New bearings . . . 1.7 ± 0.3 N·m (15.05 ± 2.66 lb in)

Used bearings . . . 0.85 ± 0.30 N·m (7.52 ± 2.66 lb in)

Note: If the rolling torque is not correct, repeat Steps 7 through 16.

17. Torque the four cap bolts to 370 ± 50 N·m (273 ± 37 lb ft).

18. Measure the backlash between the bevel gear (16) and bevel pinion (17). The backlash must be 0.25 + 0.10 - 0.07
mm (0.010 + 0.004 - 0.003 inch).

19. If there is too much backlash, loosen adjustment nut (8) and tighten adjustment nut (24) to the same amount.

20. If there is not enough backlash, loosen adjustment nut (24) and tighten adjustment nut (8) to the same amount.

Note: The differential preload will be kept only if one adjustment nut is loosened and the other adjustment nut is
tightened to the same amount.

21. Install the locks (10) for the adjustment nuts.

After the backlash and preload adjustments have been made, the tooth contact between bevel pinion (17) and bevel gear
(16) must be checked. Do the following procedure.

1. Put a small amount of paint pigment and oil on the teeth of bevel gear (16).

2. Turn bevel pinion (17) in both directions.

3. The correct area of tooth contact is located equally on both sides. The area starts near the inside end of the teeth of
bevel gear (16). See Illustration (B) for an example of the correct area of tooth contact.

If the marks that are made on the teeth of bevel gear (16) look like the marks in Illustration (C), do the following
procedures.

1. Add some of shim pack (6).

2. Loosen the four cap bolts to the torque that is indicated in Step 7.

3. Repeat Steps 17 through 21.

If the marks that are made on the teeth of bevel gear (16) look like the marks in Illustration (D), do the following
procedures.

1. Remove some of shim pack (6).

2. Loosen the four cap bolts to the torque that is indicated in Step 7.

3. Repeat Steps 17 through 21.

Note: Always make sure that the backlash adjustment is correct before an adjustment is made to the area of tooth
contact. Several adjustments to the backlash and tooth contact may be necessary to get the correct adjustments.

After adjustments are made, remove the paint from the gears. Install the locks and bolts on caps (15) and (22).

(15) Bevel pinion shaft

The differential is used to transfer power from the transmission output shaft to the final drives. The final drives then
transfer power to the wheels. The differential allows the rear wheels to turn at different rates of speed. When the machine
is turned, the differential allows the inside wheels to turn at a slower rate of speed than the outside wheels. The
differential can be unlocked or locked by the operator. The differential lock control is located in the cab on the steering
console in the cab.

The output flange of the transmission turns bevel pinion shaft (15). Bevel pinion shaft (15) turns bevel gear (10), which
is fastened to differential housing (2). The differential has spider shaft (9) for the pinions. The differential has two side
gears: left side gear (4) and right side gear (11). The connections between the four pinions (6) and the two side gears are
at right angles through a gear mesh. Left side gear (4) and right side gear (11) are connected to the shafts by splines
which are connected to the final drives.

When the machine is moving straight in a forward direction and the differential is in the UNLOCK position, the same
amount of traction is applied to the wheels on each side. The same amount of torque that is sent to each shaft for the final
drive stops pinion (6) so the pinions cannot turn on spider shaft (9). This gives the same effect as if both tandem drives
are being driven by the same shaft. When the machine is turned, different forces are applied to the opposite sides of the
differential. This action will turn pinions (6). The rotation of pinions (6) allow the inside wheels to rotate at a slower rate
of speed than the outside wheels. This moves the machine through the turn under full power.

(16) Differential lock control switch

The differential can be locked by moving differential control switch (16) to the LOCKED position. This switch is
located on the steering console in the cab of the machine. Moving switch (16) to the LOCKED position pressurizes the
oil that is behind the piston. Locking the discs together forces the shaft to each final drive to turn together with the same
speed. Moving switch (16) to the UNLOCK position releases the oil pressure behind the piston. This will allow the two
output shafts to turn at different speeds.

The housing for the differential runs on tapered roller bearings. Pinions (6) turn on bronze bushings. Pinions (6), left side
gear (4), and right side gear (11) turn against the thrust washers. The thrust washers take the end thrust against the
differential housing.

The differential gets lubrication from oil that is thrown about inside the bevel gear housing. A flat surface on each shaft
of spider shaft (9) allows lubrication to flow to pinions (6) and to the thrust washers.

Differential Lock Valve

Differential lock control switch (16) controls a solenoid activated hydraulic valve that is located on the differential
carrier. When switch (16) is in the LOCK position, no current flows to the solenoid coil and the solenoid will not be
energized. The valve is held open by spring force. The oil from the transmission relief valve flows through a hose to inlet

opening (17). The internal passages of the solenoid valve act as an orifice.

Oil flows into inlet opening (17) and exits through opening (19) to the differential lock clutch. The oil flows into the
differential through the differential cage assembly. Then, the oil flows to the cavity in the differential housing. The oil
pushes the piston against clutch plates and discs (5) which causes left side gear (4) to turn with bevel gear (10). Pistons
(6) do not turn on the spider shaft (9). Pistons (6) turn with left side gear (4) and right side gear (11).

If the traction under the tandem wheels is different, the speed of the wheels will be equal.

When switch (16) is in the UNLOCKED position, current flows to the solenoid coil and the solenoid will be energized.
The energized solenoid shifts the valve spool. The oil in the differential flows through opening (19) and flows into the
oil reservoir. When traction varies under each wheel tandem, pinions (6), left side gear (4), and right side gear (11) can
turn freely.

The differential lock control switch (16) can be engaged in any speed.

final drive also provides the pivot point for each tandem wheel.

The differential drives the sun gear and shaft (1). Planet gear (14) is driven by the sun gear. Planet gear (14) rotates on
the inside of ring gear (3). Planet gear (14) drives carrier (2). Carrier (2) is splined to output shaft (11).

the tandem drive. Wheel spindle (18) is splined to wheel sprocket (20). Wheel sprocket (20) turns wheel spindle (18).

Tandem housing (16) is connected with bolts to the pivot housing (12). Pivot housing (12) allows the wheels to oscillate
tandem housing (16). Two wear rings (8), washers (7) and two seals are between final drive housing (5) and pivot
housing (12).

Wheel spindle housings (19) also contain the components for the service brakes. The brake components are lubricated
and cooled by the oil in the tandem housing. This oil is circulated by the movement of the wheels. The plug at the
bottom of the brake housing can be used for checking the wear to brake components.

The main relief valve is located in the top front quadrant of the inside valve body.

Main relief valve (1) provides a restriction in the flow that sets the outlet pressure of the transmission pump. The oil that
bypasses the main relief valve flows to transmission oil cooler line (2).

The main relief valve (1) has a slug (3) that is connected to the outlet flow by orifice (4) that is contained in spool (5).
Slug (3) creates a reaction chamber. Oil in the reaction chamber acts against a spring in order to set the pressure. Spring
(6) has an external adjustment screw and a locknut (7) that varies valve pressure setting by 282 kPa (41 psi) per turn.

The priority reducing valve is located at the top rear quadrant of the inside valve body.

The priority reducing valve (1) reduces the supply pressure through passage (2) to the selector valves and solenoids. The
priority reducing valve also provides priority to the selector valves and to the solenoids that are over the fill for the
transmission clutch or over the modulation for the transmission clutch.

The priority reducing valve (1) receives oil in parallel to main relief valve (3). Slug (4) provides a reaction chamber that
is connected to the pump supply flow from the solenoid in passage (2) by orifice (5). The oil is contained in spool (6)
and balances against the force of springs (7) in order to set the pressure.

Note: There is a plug that is located in the bottom of the manifold that is for the transmission control valve. Remove the
plug and install a suitable pressure gauge in order to measure the pump supply flow from the solenoid and the priority of
the reducing pressure.

(10) Port for temperature sensor

The manual modulation valve is located in the uppermost portion of the outermost valve body.

Manual modulation valve (1) is connected to the pedal with a push pull cable (2). The manual modulation valve
disengages or the manual modulation valve reduces the power that is transmitted to the drive wheels. This is
accomplished by reducing the supply pressure to the directional modulating reducing valves.

The modulation valve (1) consists of plunger (3), stop (4), piston (5), spool (6), springs (7), and slug (8). In order to have
full pressure at the direction clutches, the transmission modulator control (pedal) must not be activated. When the engine
is turned to the OFF position, the plunger has a total travel of 18.0 mm (0.71 inch). When the engine is running, the
plunger has a total travel of 16.0 mm (0.63 inch).

Illustration 10

Location of the transmission modulator control (pedal)

Depressing the pedal reduces the supply pressure to the modulating reducing valve for the direction clutch. The pedal is
located in the cab. Fully depressing the pedal reduces supply pressure to 0 kPa (0 psi).

Slowly releasing the pedal allows supply pressure to gradually increase following pedal movement to approximately 755
kPa (110 psi). Once the pressure reaches 755 kPa (110 psi), the pressure automatically modulates to a minimum of 2085
kPa (302 psi) after approximately 0.2 seconds.

A temperature sensor (10) is mounted into an adapter (9) in the manual modulation valve. Temperature sensor (10)
monitors the oil temperature of the drive train.

(8) Solenoid

There are eight modulation reducing valves. Four of the modulation reducing valves are located in each valve body.
These four provide individual pressure control for the clutch. The modulation reducing valve consists of selector spool
(1), load piston (2), reducing spool (3), slug (4), modulation orifice (5), decay orifice (6) and springs (7). Each valve
provides a unique pressure for each transmission clutch through different combinations of the springs and the orifices.

To pressurize a transmission clutch, solenoid (8) is energized with a 24 volt signal from the electronic control module
(ECM). The ECM is activated by the transmission shift lever. This causes selector spool (1) to move toward the center of
the valve. This causes load piston (2) and reducing spool (3) to move away from the center of the valve. This will allow
oil from the main relief valve to pass across the reducing valve in order to fill the clutch.

file://C:\SIS\TMP\sis13A1prt.html 7/22/2008
Copyright 1991, 2008 Caterpillar Inc. All Rights Reserved. Page 9 of 13

When the clutch is full of oil, the oil flows through modulation orifice (5) that is contained in reducing spool (3). This
moves load piston (2) toward the selector spool (1), compressing the modulation spring (7) and causing the transmission
clutch pressure to gradually rise.

In order to disengage the transmission clutch, the solenoid is de-energized. This allows selector spool (1) to move away
from the center of the valve. The selector spool connects the load piston cavity in order to drain through decay orifice (6)
that is contained in the valve body. This will gradually reduce the clutch pressure.

Solenoid Valves

Solenoid valves (1) connect pressurized oil from the priority reducing valve to the corresponding selector spool (2). As
shown, the solenoid valves are 24 volt ON/OFF poppet type valves. These poppet type valves are activated.

The speed range selector spools have a total travel of 6.0 mm (.24 inch) travel.

Speed range selector spools (1) trigger the beginning of modulation. Speed range selector spools (1) also trigger the
beginning of the decrease of the clutch pressure. The speed range selector spool also prevents the application of two
speed range gears at a time. Energizing solenoid (2) causes speed range selector spool (1) to move toward the center of
the valve. This blocks the flow of oil to disengaged solenoid (3). Also, this drains the supply port of disengaged solenoid
(3).

Electronic Monitoring System Operator Panel (EMS)

(31) Transmission cold oil indicator..

When the engine is started, the oil from transmission oil pump (11) supplies oil to the power train oil system of the
motor grader. If the hydraulic oil in the transmission is equal to 0.0° C (32° F) or lower than 0.0° C (32° F), temperature

sensor (30) will send a signal to the EMS in the operator's compartment. Transmission cold oil indicator (31) will
illuminate. Before engaging the transmission, allow the oil to warm up until the transmission cold oil indicator turns off.

Unexpected movement may occur with cold drive train oil. This
movement could result in injury or death. Warm up the machine
before shifting out of the PARK position. See the Operation and
Maintenance Manual for the proper operation in cold weather.

Transmission oil pump (11) rotates at the same speed as the input shaft. Transmission oil pump (11) is driven by a three
gear transfer train from the input shaft, with the reverse gear acting as an idler gear.

Transmission oil pump (11) contains transmission scavenge pump (12) and transmission charging pump (13).
Transmission scavenge pump (12) transfers oil from transmission sump (28) to differential sump (29). Transmission
charging pump (13) transfers oil from differential sump (29) to transmission filter (10).

When you view transmission oil pump (11) from the front of the engine, the transmission pump rotates clockwise. The
transmission pump supplies oil at a rate of 105 L/min (27.9 US gpm) at 2000 RPM.

The bottom of the transmission case provides lube oil to transmission sump (28). Oil flows to differential sump (29) by
flowing through transmission scavenge screen and magnetic filter (26). Then, the oil flows to the transmission scavenge
pump (12) section of the transmission oil pump (11). A breather line connects the transmission and the differential in
order to equalize the air pressure in the two compartments. A breather that is located on the oil filler tube provides the
capability for ambient breathing. The oil filler tube extends to the differential case.

Oil is supplied to transmission scavenge pump (12) through a tube and from a hose from the differential housing. The oil
passes through a transmission screen and magnetic filter (25), that is contained within a housing that is located within
transmission oil pump (11).

Pressurized oil from transmission charging pump (13) flows to transmission filter (10) through cored passages in
transmission oil pump (11). After the oil flows through transmission filter (10) the pressurized oil flows through a hose
to a fitting on the side of the transmission case.

If the transmission control valve has a pressure setting of 2760 kPa (400 psi) at 750 engine RPM, the pressurized oil will
flow through a cored passage in the transmission case to main relief valve (6) and to priority reducing valve (7). This
directs oil to the selector valves and to the solenoids. This oil then returns to transmission sump (28).

Excess oil from the main relief valve (6) flows through a cored passage in the transmission case and to a fitting on the
side of the case. The oil then flows through a hose to the transmission oil cooler (2). There are two different types of
transmission oil coolers on these machines. The 120H and the 135H are equipped with an air cooled transmission cooler
that is mounted next to the machines radiator. All other models covered in this manual use a transmission oil cooler that
cools using engine coolant and is mounted next to the engine.

The cooled oil is used for the transmission lubrication. The cooled oil flows through another hose to a fitting on the side

file://C:\SIS\TMP\sis1501prt.html 7/22/2008
Copyright 1991, 2008 Caterpillar Inc. All Rights Reserved. Page 7 of 7

of the transmission case. Then, the oil flows through a cored passage in the transmission case. Next, the oil flows to a
passage in the bottom half of the control manifold of the transmission.

Lubrication oil flows from the manifold through drilled holes in the transmission case to each shaft end. Then, the oil
flows into the shaft in order to provide lubrication to the bearings and to the clutch packs. The oil then returns to
transmission sump (28).

The transmission cooler bypass (3) is located in the transmission case underneath the transmission control valve. The
cooler bypass (3) relieves the transmission lube when the differential between the cooler inlet pressure and lube inlet
pressure is greater than 520 kPa (75 psi).

Also, there is a poppet type valve for transmission lubrication relief valve (9) that is located in the transmission case
underneath the transmission control valve. This relief valve vents lube flow to transmission sump when the lube inlet
pressure is greater than 520 kPa (75 psi).

(3) Location of centershift indicator.

Centershift lock switch (6) is located on the console to the right of the operator's seat. The position the centershift lock
switch (6) is in controls the solenoid valve (2). Solenoid valve (2) is used to engage or disengage centershift lock
cylinder (4). When centershift lock switch (6) is moved to the DISENGAGED position, solenoid valve (2) redirects the
power train oil from the differential sump in order to disengage the centershift lock pin. When the centershift lock pin is
disengaged, the disengaged centershift lock indicator on the indicator panel will light up.

When centershift lock switch (6) is moved to the ENGAGED position, solenoid valve (2) allows the power train oil from
the differential sump to engage the centershift lock pin. The machine is normally operated with the centershift lock pin in
the LOCK position. Since the centershift lock pin cannot be seen by the operator, centershift indicator (3) shows the
operator when the centershift lock pin is in alignment with the correct hole in arm assembly (5). Centershift indicator (3)
is located on the rear of the link bar.

The power train oil flows from the differential sump to centershift lock cylinder (4). In the LOCK position, the power
train oil flows through centershift lock cylinder (4). This holds the centershift lock pin in the LOCK position.

Personal injury could result from the sudden movement of the


blade when the centershift lockpin is released.

Before releasing the centershift lockpin be sure that all


personnel are clear of the blade area, the circle and blade are
centered under the machine and the blade has been lowered to
the ground.

In order to move arm assembly (5) and the circle to another location, push the latch tab forward and move centershift
lock switch (6) to the DISENGAGE position. This will send a signal to solenoid valve (2). The centershift lock pin will
pull out of arm assembly (5). The centershift cylinder and the lift cylinders are then operated in order to move arm
assembly (5) and the circle to the desired location.

When the centershift lock pin is at the correct hole in arm assembly (5), centershift lock switch (6) is moved to the
ENGAGED position. When centershift lock switch (6) is moved to the ENGAGED position, solenoid valve (2) redirects

file://C:\SIS\TMP\sis15B1prt.html 7/22/2008
Copyright 1991, 2008 Caterpillar Inc. All Rights Reserved. Page 4 of 4

the power train oil from the differential sump in order to push the centershift lock pin into arm assembly (5).

When centershift lock switch (6) is moved to the ENGAGED position, the pressurized power train oil will hold the
centershift lock pin in position in arm assembly (5).

Note: If the centershift lock indicator does not turn off, slightly move arm assembly (5) in order to align the hole with
the centershift lock pin.

When the engine start switch is in the OFF position, solenoid valve (2) is not energized. Therefore, the centershift lock
pin can only retract if the engine start switch is in the ON position.

Set Up Procedures

When testing and adjusting the transmission and power train,


move the machine to an area clear of obstructions, with safe
exhaust ventilation for the exhausts. Sudden movement of the
machine or release of oil under pressure can cause injury to
persons on or near the machine. To prevent possible injury, do
the procedure that follows before testing and adjusting the
transmission and power train.

1. Move the machine to a smooth horizontal location. Move away from operating machines and move away from
personnel. Lower all implements to the ground.

2. Install the lock bolt for the wheel lean in the front axle. Install the articulation lock pin. Place the transmission shift
lever in the PARKING BRAKE position. Stop the engine.

3. Place blocks in front of the wheels and behind the wheels.

4. Permit only one operator on the machine. Keep all other personnel away from the machine. All personnel should be in
the view of the operator.

Troubleshooting
When you define a power train problem, perform the following procedures. When you are defining an air system and/or
a brake problem, perform the following procedures. First, perform "Visual Checks". When the Visual Checks are
complete and the problem is not fully understood, perform "Performance Checks". After Visual Checks and Operation
Checks are complete and the problem is not fully understood, perform "Instrument Tests". These procedures will help
identify system problems.

Note: The electronic control module (ECM) for the transmission has been moved. The ECM was under the operator's
seat. The ECM is under the operator's compartment on the right side of the machine.

Transmission Direction and Speed Control Lever

1. Before you perform the visual checks, turn off the engine and apply the parking brakes.

2. Check the level of the differential oil sump. Check the oil for air or for water. Problems in the transmission can be
caused by low oil level or air in the oil. If necessary, add oil to the differential. For the recommended oil grade and
viscosity, refer to the appropriate Operation and Maintenance Manual for your machine.

3. Air bubbles may be caused by a loose fitting or a damaged fitting. This will allow air to enter the suction side of the
system and this will allow the oil to leak from the transmission. Air may also be the result of gears that agitate the oil in
the sump. This is caused by a transmission oil level that is too high.

4. On machines that use engine coolant to cool the transmission oil, coolant in the oil can be caused by a leaking
transmission oil cooler. Water may enter the system, if the filler cap or the dipstick is not properly installed.

Check 2

Inspect all oil lines, hoses and connections for damage or leaks. Look for oil on the ground under the machine.

Note: If oil can leak from a fitting or a connection, air can enter the fitting or the connection. Air in the system can be as
harmful as insufficient oil in the system.

Check 3

Remove the suction screen and clean the suction screen. Inspect the oil in the screen for foreign material. Remove the
transmission oil filter and inspect the transmission oil filter for foreign material.

Note: The oil filter bypass valve is located on the inlet side of the transmission filter. Whenever the pressure difference
between the inlet and the outlet of the transmission filter is greater than 248 ± 21 kPa (36 ± 3 psi), oil will bypass the
transmission filter. Any oil that does not pass through the filter element will flow into the hydraulic control circuit. This
dirty oil may cause restrictions in the valve orifices or sticking valves etc.

If any of the foreign materials are found during the visual check, all components of the transmission hydraulic system
must be cleaned. DO NOT use any damaged parts. Damaged parts must be removed and replaced with new parts.

Check 4

The drive shafts and universal joints must be free to rotate except when cold oil causes a resistance. The transmission
must be in neutral, the wheels off the ground and the parking brake disengaged before performing this test. If the shafts

are not free to rotate, disconnect the shafts. Then, check the transmission for rotation.

Performance Check

Problem

The motor grader will not start or stop, and the transmission will not shift into any gear from the NEUTRAL position.

Note: When you troubleshoot electrical problems or electronic problems, use the most recent electrical schematic for
your machine.

Note: Shift quickly from the NEUTRAL position to the desired gear. Always return the transmission to the NEUTRAL
position between gear selections.

1. Attempt to operate the machine in all gears forward and reverse. Shift the machine from the NEUTRAL position to
the FIRST GEAR FORWARD position. Note the response of the machine and shift the machine back to the NEUTRAL
position.

2. Shift the transmission from the NEUTRAL position to the SECOND GEAR FORWARD position. Note the response
of the machine. Shift the machine back to the NEUTRAL position. Proceed in the same manner until all gears have been
checked.

3. Check the 10 amp transmission control fuse that is located in the fuse panel at the base of the steering console. If
necessary, replace the fuse. Otherwise, proceed to Step 4.

Illustration 32

Transmission Electronic Control Module (ECM)

(1) ECM. (2) 40 pin connector - J2. (3) 40 pin connector - J1.

4. The Electronic Control Module (1) is located under the right side of the cab. Disconnect connector - J1 (3). Contacts
1, 6 and 40 are common to each other and the contacts are used to provide battery voltage to the ECM. Contacts 2 and 5
are common to each other and the contacts are used for machine ground. Measure the voltage between the power
contacts 1, 6 and 40 to ground in order to check for power to the ECM.

5. If the voltage that is measured in Step 4 is above 20 Volts DC, the ECM is inoperative. If the voltage that is measured
is less than 20 Volts DC, the batteries are undercharged. If no voltage was measured in Step 4, proceed to Step 6.

6. Check contacts 1, 6 and 40 of connector - J1 (3) in order to determine if the connections are grounded. If any of these
contacts are grounded, check the machine harness for a shorted wire. If a fault is found, repair the harness or replace the

file://C:\SIS\TMP\sis27F1prt.html 7/22/2008

harness. If none of these contacts are grounded, check the 126-PK wires in the machine harness for an open circuit. If a
fault is found, repair the harness.

Problem

The motor grader has lost a single gear.

1. Start the engine. Operate the machine in order to determine the inoperable gear.

2. Stop the machine. Engage the parking brake and turn the key start switch to the OFF position.

3. Check the pressure of the suspect clutch. Refer to "Check Transmission Clutch Pressure" in this manual for the correct
pressure and for the testing procedure. If the clutch pressure is equal to or greater than the minimum clutch pressure that
is given, inspect the suspect clutch. If the clutch pressure is less than the minimum pressure, proceed to Step 4.

4. Disconnect connectors J1 (3) and connector J2 (2) from the Electronic Control Module (ECM). Measure the resistance
between the contact that is associated with the clutch solenoid of the suspect gear and one of the following
contacts:contact 7 of J1 and contact 3 of J2

Note: Refer to the following example. The clutch for the FIRST GEAR FORWARD position does not engage. The
clutch for the FIRST GEAR REVERSE position engages. Measure the resistance from contact 10 of J1 (3) to either of
the following contacts:contact 7 of J1 and contact 3 of J2

5. If the resistance that is measured in Step 4 was in the range of 20 to 50 ohms, the solenoid valve is functioning
properly. This solenoid valve is controlling the pressure to the suspect clutch. Proceed to Step 6.

6. If the resistance that is measured in Step 4 is less than 20 ohms, the wiring harness that connects to the solenoid has a
short circuit or the solenoid has a short circuit. If the resistance that is measured in Step 4 is greater than 50 ohms, the
wiring harness has an open circuit or the solenoid has an open circuit.

7. If the solenoid valve that controls the suspect clutch appears to function but the clutch pressure is below the minimum
pressure, check the supply pressure at high idle with the transmission in the inoperable gear. Refer to "Check
Transmission Supply Pressure" in this manual.

8. If the supply pressure is 3240 kPa (470 psi), inspect the solenoid valve. If the supply pressure is below 3240 kPa (470
psi), inspect the rotating shaft seals and the piston seals. The rotating seals can be checked without removing the
transmission. Checking the piston seals will require removing the transmission.

Problem

Loss of a single gear selection in both the forward gear and the reverse gear

1. Start the engine. Operate the machine in order to locate the inoperative gear.

2. Stop the machine. Engage the parking brake and turn the engine start switch to the OFF position.

3. Disconnect connector J1 (3). Check the wiring harness that is located between the ECM and the transmission direction
and speed control. The transmission direction and speed control should be in the position of the lost gear. Using contact
2 or contact 5 (these contacts are common to each other) of the J1 (3) connector check the continuity between these
contacts and the contact associated with the lost gear.

file://C:\SIS\TMP\sis27F1prt.html 7/22/2008
Copyright 1991, 2008 Caterpillar Inc. All Rights Reserved. Page 5 of 27

4. For example, if the first gear forward and reverse is inoperative, check the continuity between contact 30 of connector
J1 (3) and either contact 2 (or 5) of connector J1 (3). If the continuity exists, proceed to Step 5.

5. Step 4 tested a portion of the machine harness and a portion of the transmission direction and speed control. The test
determined that the transmission direction and speed control is inoperable. Shift the transmission direction and speed
control into a forward gear. Check the continuity between contact 39 of connector J1 (3) and contact 2 (or 5) of
connector J1 (3). If continuity exists, the ECM is not functioning. If continuity does not exist, the transmission direction
and speed control is not functioning.

6. Either the machine harness has failed or the transmission direction and speed control has failed in Step 4. Remove the
24 contact connector from the transmission direction and speed control. Using either contact 2 (or 5) of connector J1 (3)
measure the continuity at the contact point on the transmission direction and speed control connector between contact 2
(or 5) and the contact that is associated with the inoperative gear.

7. For example, if the first gear forward is not operable, check the continuity between contact 3 of the 24 contact
connector and contact 2 (or 5) of connector J1 (3). If continuity exists, the transmission direction and speed control is
functioning and the machine harness has failed. If continuity does not exist, the transmission direction and speed control
has failed and the machine harness is functioning.

Problem

Transmission slippage under load.

1. Start the engine. Operate the machine in order to determine the gear that is slipping.

2. Stop the machine and engage the parking brake. Turn the engine start switch to the OFF position.

3. Check the transmission oil level. If the oil level is too high or too low, adjust the oil to the proper level.

4. If the transmission continues to slip, check the transmission supply pressure. Refer to "Check Transmission Supply
Pressure" in this manual. If the supply pressure is at least 3240 kPa (470 psi) in the PARK position and at high idle,
proceed to Step 5. If the supply pressure is low, proceed to Step 8.

5. The directional clutches are clutch No. 1, clutch No. 2 and clutch No. 3. Directional clutch No. 1 is controlled by
solenoid (B). Directional clutch No. 2 is controlled by solenoid (C). Directional clutch No. 3 is controlled by solenoid
(A). Measure the directional clutch pressure that is associated with the slipping gear. Refer to the "Check Transmission
Clutch Pressure" in this manual.

6. For example, if the first gear forward is slipping, clutch No. 1 (solenoid (B)) is the associated directional clutch. Install
the pressure port. Start the engine and operate the engine at high idle. Operate the machine in the slipping gear.

7. Depress the transmission modulator pedal and stop the machine. Slowly release transmission modulator pedal. If the
directional clutch pressure reaches a minimum pressure of 2080 kPa (302 psi), inspect the directional clutch. If the
directional clutch pressure does not reach a minimum of 2085 kPa (302 psi), adjust the transmission modulator pedal
linkage.

8. From Step 4, the transmission control valve is suspect. Inspect the main relief valve for damage. If necessary, repair
the main relief valve. If the main relief valve is functioning correctly, proceed to Step 9.

9. From Step 6, excessive slippage indicates leakage from the rotating seals or the transmission clutch pistons. If

file://C:\SIS\TMP\sis27F1prt.html 7/22/2008

necessary, inspect or repair these items.

Problem

Motor grader creeps with transmission modulator pedal fully depressed.

1. Start the engine. Operate the engine in order to determine the gears that allow the machine to inch when the
transmission modulator pedal is fully depressed.

2. Stop the machine and engage the parking brake. Turn the engine start switch to the OFF position.

3. Check the adjustment of inching pedal linkage. Refer to "Manual Modulation Pedal Check and Adjust" in this manual
for correct adjustment procedure.

4. While the transmission modulator pedal is depressed, measure the directional clutch that is associated with the inching
gear. Refer to "Check Transmission Clutch Pressure" in this manual.

Illustration 33

5. The directional clutches are Clutches No. 1, No. 2 and No. 3. Directional clutch No. 1 is controlled by solenoid (B).
Directional clutch No. 2 is controlled by solenoid (C). Directional clutch No. 3 is controlled by solenoid (A).

6. For example, if first speed forward is inching, clutch No. 1 (solenoid (B)) is the associated directional clutch. Install
the pressure gauge in the associated pressure port. Start the engine. Operate the engine at high idle and in the suspect
gear.

7. Depress the transmission modulator pedal and stop the machine. If the directional clutch pressure exceeds 30 kPa (4
psi), repeat Step 3. If the directional clutch pressure is less than 30 kPa (4 psi), inspect the transmission for warped clutch

plates.

Problem

First gear out of neutral only working gear.

1. Start the engine. Operate the machine in order to determine which gears are operable.

2. Stop the machine. Engage the parking brake. Turn the engine start switch to the OFF position.

3. Use a jumper wire in order to bypass the manual modulation pressure switch (same as inching pedal pressure switch).
This will determine if the pressure switch is working. The manual modulation pressure switch is located on the
transmission control valve.

4. Disconnect the 2 contact connector at the pressure switch. This connector will be located close to the pressure switch.
Place a jumper wire between contact 1 and contact 2 of the receptacle on the machine wiring harness. Proceed to Step 5.

5. Start the machine and attempt to operate the machine in all gears. If the machine has more than one gear out of neutral
then the manual modulation pressure switch has failed. If the first gear out of neutral is the only gear available, proceed
to Step 6.

6. The wiring harness between the manual modulation pressure switch (inching pressure switch) and the transmission
Electronic Control Module (ECM) is suspect. Disconnect connector J1 (3) and connector J2 (2) at the ECM. Check the
continuity of the machine harness between contact 11 of the J2 connector (2) and contact 2 (or 5) of connector J1 (3).

7. If the continuity is obtained when the jumper is in place, the ECM has failed. If continuity is not obtained, the wiring
harness between the transmission ECM and the manual modulation pressure switch (inch pedal pressure switch) has
failed.

Problem

Transmission output speed (TOS) signal incorrect or not working.

1. Stop the machine. Engage the parking brake. Turn the engine start switch to the OFF position.

2. The transmission output speed sensor (TOS) is located at the rear of the transmission. Locate the 2 contact TOS
connector at the sensor. Disconnect the sensor from the machines wiring harness. Measure the resistance between
contact 4 (M917-PK) and contact 1 (M918-GN) of the machine harness. The resistance should measure between 1000
and 2000 ohms. If the resistance is between 1000 and 2000 ohms continue to Step 3. If the resistance is not in this range
go to Step 4.

3. At the transmission ECM disconnect the J2 connector (2). Measure the resistance between contact 29 of the J2
connector (2) (M917-PK) and contact 23 of the J2 connector (2) (M918-GN). The resistance should be between 1000
and 2000 ohms. If the resistance is with in the correct range proceed to the next step. If the resistance is not in the correct
range, the harness between the transmission ECM and speed sensor is faulty. Repair or replace the harness.

4. At the TOS 2 contact connecter, check the resistance of the TOS by measuring the resistance between contact 1
(M918-GN) and contact 2 (M917-PK). The TOS should have a resistance between 1000 and 2000 ohms. If the resistance
is not with in this range replace the TOS. If the resistance is with in the correct range continue to Step 5.

file://C:\SIS\TMP\sis27F1prt.html 7/22/2008

5. Check the TOS signal on ECAP or ET with the motor grader in FIRST gear position and the engine at high idle. If the
signal is 250 RPM or greater the ECM is suspect. If the signal is not 250 RPM or higher the TOS has failed.

Problem

Parking brake does not function properly.

1. Start the engine. Operated the machine in order to determine how the parking brake is functioning.

2. Stop the machine. Engage the parking brake. Turn the engine start switch to the OFF position.

3. The parking brake solenoid valve is located under the right side of the cab.

4. Start the engine. Use a screw driver tip and lightly touch the end of the parking brake solenoid valve in order to
determine the presents of a electromagnetic force. If the screw driver is drawn to the solenoid, the solenoid is
functioning.

5. To further test the solenoid, turn the engine key start switch from stop to run and back to stop. The parking brake
solenoid valve will click each time the key position changes. If the solenoid is functioning proceed to Step 6. If the
solenoid is not functioning, proceed to Step 10

6. Check the mechanical parking brake valve in the transmission direction and speed control for proper adjustment. Start
the engine. Allow the brake pressure to increase to the normal operating pressure of at least 800 kPa (115 psi). Depress
the service brake. Shift the transmission direction and speed lever to the NEUTRAL position. Engage the parking brake.
When the parking brake is engaged, the operator should briefly hear air venting.

7. When the transmission direction and speed control is placed in the PARKING BRAKE position and the parking brake
vents, the mechanical parking brake valve is properly adjusted. Proceed to Step 8, if the parking brake does not vent.
Adjust the mechanical parking brake valve.

8. Stop the engine. Place blocks in front and behind the wheels. Install a 1000 kPa (145 psi) pressure gauge in the
parking brake air line where the line enters the transmission.

9. Start the engine. Depress the service brake pedal. Move the transmission direction and speed control from the
PARKING BRAKE position to the NEUTRAL position and back to the PARKING BRAKE position. When the
transmission direction and speed control is not in the PARK position, the brake pressure should be 800 to 930 kPa (115
to 135 psi). If the brake pressure is 0 kPa (0 psi), inspect the brakes. When the transmission direction and speed control
is in the PARK position, brake pressure should relieve to 0 kPa (0 psi). If the brake pressure does not relieve to 0 kPa (0
psi), inspect the air lines.

10. From Step 5, the parking brake valve is suspect. When the engine key start switch is in the RUN position and the
engine is OFF, the parking brake solenoid will be energized.

11. Disconnect the 2 contact connector at the parking brake solenoid. At the machine harness measure the voltage across
contact 1 (126-PK) and contact 2 (200-BK). If battery voltage is measured at this point the solenoid has failed. If no
voltage or reduced voltage is measured at this point proceed to Step 12.

12. Measure the voltage at the parking brake solenoid valve between contact 1 (126-PK) and the frame. If the battery
voltage is present, repair wire 200-BK. If the battery voltage is not present repair wire 126-PK.

Problem

Backup alarm does not sound.

1. Stop the engine. Engage the parking brake. Turn the engine key start switch to the OFF position. Disconnect the J1
connector (3) and the J2 connector (2) from the ECM located under the right side of the cab. On the machine harness,
check for continuity between contact 2 of the J1 connector (3) and contact 37 of the J2 connector (2). If continuity exists,
the wiring to the backup alarm and the alarm is operational. Proceed to Step 2.

2. With the transmission direction and speed control is in a reverse gear, check the continuity between contact 2 of the J1
connector (3) and contact 31 of the J1 connector (3). If continuity exists, the transmission ECM has failed. If continuity
does not exist, connect the J1 and J2 connectors to the correct position at the transmission ECM and proceed to Step 3.

3. Disconnect the 24 contact connector at the transmission direction and speed control. With the transmission direction
and speed control in the REVERSE position, check the continuity between contact 2 and contact 12 of the 24 contact
connector. If continuity is obtained, repair the wiring harness between the controller and the transmission direction and
speed control. If continuity is not obtained, replace the transmission direction and speed control.

4. In Step 2, the wiring harness between the transmission ECM and the backup alarm is suspect. Disconnect the 6 contact
connector from the back alarm. This connector will be located at the left rear of the machine. While the transmission
direction and speed control is in the REVERSE position, measure the voltage between contact 5 (321-BR) and contact 6
(200-BK) of the machine wiring connector. If system voltage is present, the backup alarm has failed. If voltage is not
present, the harness has failed. Proceed to Step 5.

5. While the transmission direction and speed control is in the REVERSE position, measure the voltage between contact
5 (321-BR) and the frame. If the 24 VDC exists, repair the 200-BK. If voltage does not exist, repair wire 321-BR.

c. Tighten locknut (10) to 25 ± 4 N·m (18 ± 3 lb ft). For all clutches except clutch (D) and clutch (G), shift the
transmission to the NEUTRAL position for a minimum of 15 seconds. Then shift the transmission back to the gear
specified in Steps 7 through Steps 15. For clutch (D) and clutch (G), shift the transmission to the
FIRST/FORWARD for a minimum of 15 seconds and then shift the transmission back to NEUTRAL. Confirm
that the pressures agree with Table 5.

d. If the pressure cannot be adjusted to within the acceptable limits with adjustment screw (11), stop the engine
and remove solenoid manifold (9) in order to access the selector spool. Remove the selector spool and add or
remove shims and spacers as required.

c. Remove the cover on test port (B). Connect an 8T-0855 Pressure Gauge to the test port.

d. Start the engine and operate at 1/2 throttle.

e. Place the transmission direction and speed control lever in FIRST/FORWARD. The transmission should start to
turn.

f. Depress the transmission modulator control pedal all the way down against the pedal stop (7). The transmission
drive should stop within 13 seconds.

g. Let the transmission modulation control pedal fully out. The transmission should be turning. The pressure at test
port (B) should read 2120 kPa (308 psi) minimum.

Note: For a double check, use an ECAP service tool. Following the above procedure, the transmission modulation
control pedal status should go off when the transmission modulation control pedal hits the pedal stop.

9. If the pressure is correct in Step 8, the modulation is working correctly. If the pressure is not correct in Step 8, follow
Step 10.

10. Disconnect the modulation pedal cable (1) from modulation valve spool.

a. Operate the machine in the FIRST/FORWARD position at 1/2 throttle.

b. Manually pull the modulation valve spool outward. The pressure gauge should read 0.0 kPa (0 psi).

c. Push the spool into the valve body. The spool should move freely, but firm because of the spring resistance, and
modulation (transmission drive starts to turn) should occur in the range of 0 kPa (.0 psi) to 760 kPa (110 psi).
Pressure should automatically rise to 2120 kPa (308 psi) minimum.

d. If the spool does not move freely, the spool may need to be cleaned.

11. If the spool moves freely and modulation occurs in Step 10 the cable may have drag and needs to be replaced.

Hot oil and components can cause personal injury.

Do not allow hot oil or components to contact skin.

Care must be taken to ensure that fluids are contained during


performance of inspection, maintenance, testing, adjusting and
repair of the product. Be prepared to collect the fluid with suitable
containers before opening any compartment or disassembling any
component containing fluids.

Refer to Special Publication, NENG2500, "Caterpillar Tools and


Shop Products Guide" for tools and supplies suitable to collect and
contain fluids on Caterpillar products.

Dispose of all fluids according to local regulations and mandates.

This test is designed to tell if a pump is operating within the design parameters.

For any pump test, the pump flow at 690 kPa (100 psi) will be larger than the pump flow at 6900 kPa (1000 psi) if the
pump is operating at the same rpm. The pump flow is measured in L/min (US gpm).

The difference between the pump flow of two operating pressures at the same rpm is the flow loss.

Test on the Machine


Install a hydraulic flow tester on the machine. Record the pump flow at 1000 rpm and 690 kPa (100 psi). Record the
pump flow at 1000 rpm and 6900 kPa (1000 psi). In order to calculate the flow loss, use the formula in Table 11. Run the

file://C:\SIS\TMP\sis2AB1prt.html 7/22/2008

Conventional Duo-Cone Seals, Assembly & Installation 7561-016 -012

Disconnect batteries before performance of any service work.

NOTE: Special care and cleanliness are essential for correct disassembly and assembly of the transmission, differential
and other gear components. Failure to follow these procedures may result in early hour wear and failure. Thoroughly
clean the exterior of the transmission and differential prior to any disassembly. Any exterior dirt which would enter the
transmission or differential could cause damage and failure of the unit. Disassemble and assemble the unit in as clean an
area as possible. It is essential to replace all parts which have become defective along with O-rings and seals. All
machined parts showing signs of scratches or other wear must be replaced. The cavities of the housing, especially the
corners, must be carefully cleaned and rinsed. If the disassembly and assembly is a result of a serious breakdown, it is
essential that all portions of the unit be cleaned and flushed to eliminate any broken parts or metal particles. Carefully
lubricate all parts during reassembly. Cover all faces of housings and covers, which must be oil-tight towards the
outside, with the proper sealing compound, gasket or O-ring. Prior to operation, ensure that the unit has been filled with
the proper lubricant. Consult the Operation & Maintenance Manual for the proper levels.

Introduction

This instruction gives the procedure for installing Conventional Duo-Cone Seals.

It is most important that correct assembly and installation procedures are followed when Duo-Cone Seals are used. Many
of the Duo-Cone Seal failures are the direct result of one or more mistakes made during assembly or installation of the
seal components.

and (8) of both seal rings (1) and housings (5). Use Trichloroethane and clean cloth or paper towels for wiping.

Never permit oil to get on the toric rings or ramps before both seal
rings are put together in their final assembled position (Step 10).

Avoid prolonged skin contact with Trichloroethane. Avoid


breathing the vapors in enclosed areas without adequate
ventilation and do not smoke. Do not use near open flame or
welding operations or other heated surfaces exceeding 482° C
(900° F).

2. Put toric ring (2) on seal ring (1), at the bottom of seal ring ramp (7) and against retaining lip (8).

Make sure that toric ring (2) is straight on seal ring (1) and is not
twisted. Be careful when you work on the rubber toric ring. Nicks,
cuts and scratches can cause leaks.

3. Put installation Tool (9) onto seal ring (1) with toric ring (2). Lower the rings in a container with Trichloroethane until
all surfaces of toric ring (2) are wet.

file://C:\SIS\TMP\sis5D1prt.html 7/23/2008
Copyright 1991, 2008 Caterpillar Inc. All Rights Reserved. Page 5 of 8

Do not use Stanisol or any other liquid that leaves an oil film or
does not evaporate quickly.

4. With all surfaces of toric ring (2) wet, use installation Tool (9) to position seal ring (1) and toric ring (2) squarely
against housing (5) as shown. Use sudden and even pressure to pop (push) toric ring (2) under retaining lip (3) of
housing (5).

5. Check assembled height (A) in at least four places, 90 degrees apart. The difference in height around the ring must
not be more than 1 mm (.04").

file://C:\SIS\TMP\sis5D1prt.html 7/23/2008
Copyright 1991, 2008 Caterpillar Inc. All Rights Reserved. Page 6 of 8

6. If small adjustments are necessary, do not push directly on seal ring (1); use installation Tool (9).

7. Toric ring (2) can twist if it is not wet all around during installation or if there are burrs or fins on retaining lip (3) of
housing (5).

Misalignment, twists and bulges of the toric ring will cause Duo-
Cone Seal failures. If correct installation is not obvious, remove seal
from housing and repeat steps 3 through 6.

IMPORTANT: Toric rings (2) must never slip on the ramps of either seal rings (1) or seal ring housings (5). To prevent
slippage, wait a minimum of two minutes to let the Trichloroethane evaporate before further assembly. Once correctly in
place, the toric ring must roll on the ramps only.

file://C:\SIS\TMP\sis5D1prt.html 7/23/2008
Copyright 1991, 2008 Caterpillar Inc. All Rights Reserved. Page 7 of 8

8. Wipe seal faces (6) of seal rings (1) clean. Use a lint free cloth or paper towel. No particles of any kind are permissible
on the sealing surfaces. Even a small piece from a paper towel can hold the seal faces apart and cause leakage.

9. Put a thin film of clean oil on the seal faces. Use an applicator, a disposable tissue or a clean finger to distribute the oil
evenly. Be careful not to get any oil on the rubber toric rings.

file://C:\SIS\TMP\sis5D1prt.html 7/23/2008

10. Make sure both housings (5) are in correct alignment and are concentric. Move the parts slowly and carefully toward
each other.

Do not slam seals together. High impact can scratch or break the
seal components.

11. Once in place, fasten all parts tightly.

34. Attach a lifting sling and a hoist to differential group (4). Lubricate bearing cone (30) with 6V-4876 Lubricant.
Install the bearing cup that was removed from the ring gear side of carrier assembly cap (1) on bearing cone (30).

35. Position differential group (4) to carrier assembly (3). Position caps (1) to the assembly. Install four bolts (2) and the
washers in order to secure caps (1) to carrier assembly (3). Tighten bolts (2) to a torque of 100 N·m (75 lb ft). Make sure
that you do not bind the differential in the carrier assembly caps.

36. Install the locknut in the assembly cap on the bevel gear side of the assembly. Make sure that the adjusting nut turns
freely and is not cross threaded.

37. Use an 8T-5096 Dial Indicator Group for adjusting the backlash. Tighten adjusting nut (51) while you rotate bevel
gear (27). Advance adjusting nut (51) to a zero backlash position. Back adjusting nut (51) off to the nearest lock
position. The maximum back off movement is one lug on the adjusting nut (51).

38. Advance adjusting nut (52) to take up end play. Apply torque pressure to adjusting nut (52) to assure that the bearing
cones and the bearing caps are seated. Release the tension from adjusting nut (52). Finger tighten adjusting nut (52) to
remove end play from the assembly.

39. Adjust adjusting nut (51) to give backlash of the bevel gear and the pinion of 0.25 ± 0.05 mm (.010 ± .002 in). While
you keep adjusting nut (52) adjusted to take up end play.

40. Tighten adjusting nut (52) to preload the bearings. Use a dial indicator to ensure that the bearing cone moves 0.3
± .05 mm (.012 ± .002 in). After adjusting nut (52), check the rolling torque of the installed pinion to assure that it is

file://C:\SIS\TMP\sis1251prt.html 7/23/2008
Copyright 1991, 2008 Caterpillar Inc. All Rights Reserved. Page 19 of 20

written 1.4 - 2.0 N·m (12 - 18 lb ft).

NOTE: The specified rolling torque is for new pinion bearings. Used bearings should have a rolling torque of 0.7 - 1.0
N·m (6 - 9 lb ft).

41. After the gear clearance (backlash) and bearing preload adjustments have been made, check the tooth contact setting
between the bevel gear and pinion as follows:

a. Put a small amount of marking compound (Prussian blue) on the bevel gear teeth. Turn the pinion in both directions,
and check the marks made on the bevel gear teeth.

Correct Tooth Contact Setting

b. With no load, the correct tooth contact setting will be as shown. The correct area of tooth contact is located equally on
both sides and starts near the toe of the gear and goes 30% to 50% up the length of the tooth. With this setting, when a
load is put on the gear, the load will be over the correct area of the teeth.

file://C:\SIS\TMP\sis1251prt.html 7/23/2008
Copyright 1991, 2008 Caterpillar Inc. All Rights Reserved. Page 20 of 20

Short Toe Contact Setting

c. If the pinion shaft is too far away from the bevel gear, short toe contact will be the result as shown. The teeth of the
pinion will be in contact with the toe ends of the convex faces (part that makes a curve toward the outside), and the top
edge of the heel end of the concave faces (part that makes a curve toward the inside). To correct this, remove shims from
behind the inner pinion bearing. After this is done, check the gear clearance (backlash) and tooth contact again.

Short Heel Contact Setting

d. If the pinion shaft is too near to the center of the bevel gear, short heel contact will be the result as shown. The teeth of
the pinion will be in contact with the toe ends of the concave faces (part that makes a curve toward the inside), and the
heel ends of the convex faces (part that makes a curve toward the outside). To correct this, add shims behind the inner
pinion bearing race. After this is done, check the gear clearance (backlash) and tooth contact again.

NOTE: Several adjustments of both pinion and bevel gear may be needed before correct tooth contact and gear
clearance (backlash) is made. Always remember that a change to gear clearance (backlash) will also change the tooth
contact. Therefore, be sure gear clearance (backlash) is in correct adjustment before tooth contact is checked.

e. After gear clearance (backlash) and tooth contact are correct, remove the extra marking compound (Prussian blue)
from the bevel gear and pinion.

42. Tighten the bevel gear main cap bolts (2) to a final torque of 375 ± 30 N·m (276 ± 22 lb ft).

43. Perform a final measurement of the backlash to ensure that it is within specifications established in Step 39.

Introduction

Transmission Electronic Control System

The transmission Electronic Control Module (ECM) shifts the machine transmission based on transmission output speed
(TOS), Transmission control lever position and transmission modulation (inching pedal) pressure switch position.

The transmission ECM processes information from the input components. Depending on the speed and direction
requested, the ECM then directs theignal to the specific combination of solenoids for that speed and direction.

If a fault occurs, the ECM directs a signal to the Electronic Monitoring System (EMS) group to alert the operator of a
problem. The technician has two methods of diagnosing problems with the transmission electrical system: the Electronic
Control Analyzer Programmer (ECAP) via the service tool connector or the diagnostic connector and flash codes.

There is a unique transmission configuration code that must be programmed into the ECM with an ECAP, Electronic
Technician (ET) or the transmission control lever. If a replacement is made to the ECM, the new ECM must be
programmed with this code. Without this code the machine will not operate. See "Using the 8T-8697 Electronic Control
Analyzer Programmer" section in the "Testing And Adjusting" portion of this module.

Electronic Control Module (ECM

(1) Connector J1. (2) Connector J2.

The ECM makes decisions based on input and memory information, then the corresponding response is made through
the outputs. The inputs and outputs of the ECM are joined to the machine harness by two 40 contact connectors.

Inputs

Numerous inputs inform the ECM of the status of the machine conditions. Two types of inputs exist; switch type and
sensor type. Switches provide an open, grounded, or +battery signal to the switch inputs of the ECM. Sensors provide a
constantly changing signal to the sensor inputs of the ECM. The inputs are listed on the Contact Description Chart.

Outputs

The ECM responds to decisions by sending electrical signals through the various outputs. The outputs either create an
action or provide information. The outputs are listed on the Contact Description Chart.

CAT Data Link Operation

The CAT Data Link provides status information to other machine systems including All Wheel Drive Control and the
ECAP service tool. The following parameters are available:

· Transmission Gear
· Shift Lever Position

Electrical Inputs
Battery Voltage

This is a two wire input which provides 24 DCV nominal to drive the electronic circuits within the ECM and all of the
external solenoids.

Start Switch Input

This is a single wire input that provides a battery voltage signal when the key start switch is in the Start position.

Transmission Shift Lever

This is a 13 wire input which provides the shift lever position to the ECM. Combinations of the 13 inputs being
grounded correspond to the different shift lever positions.

Manual Modulation Supply Pressure Clutch Switch

This is a normally open switch and is located on the outermost valve body and monitors the supply pressure to the
directional clutches and solenoids (Clutch 3 is Solenoid A, Clutch 1 is Solenoid B and Clutch 2 is Solenoid C). When the
manual modulation pedal is depressed, the manual modulation valve inside the transmission control valve disengages or
reduces the power transmitted to the drive wheels by reducing the supply or pilot pressure to the three directional
modulating reducing valves. The pressure switch will close at 75 kPa (11 psi) and open at 50 kPa (7 psi). It provides the
ECM with the status of the manual modulation pressure.

Transmission Output Speed (TOS) Sensor Input

This is a single wire frequency input which receives a signal from a magnetic pickup speed sensor on the transmission
output.

Diagnostic Connector

This is a 3 wire input which provides a 3 bit code the ECM uses to determine which diagnostic mode to be in.

Media Number SENR9167-00 Publication Date 1997/06/06 Update Date 2000/10/19

Electrical Outputs
Transmission Solenoids

These solenoids are powered by 24 DCV from the ECM and are engaged when the ECM determines the correct time to
be ON.

Backup Alarm

When the transmission shift lever is moved to a Reverse speed, the ECM provides power for the backup alarm.

Dual Horsepower Solenoid (VHP)

When the transmission shift lever is moved to Fourth through Eighth Forward or Third though Sixth Reverse, the ECM
provides power for the dual horsepower solenoid.

NOTE: If the machine is a 143H or 163H All Wheel Drive, the ECM will provide power to the dual horsepower
solenoid any time the all wheel drive switch is moved to the Manual or Automatic position.

Diagnostic Output To EMS (Pin J2-28 On ECM)

The transmission ECM is connected to the EMS Panel Lamp Position 5 which is called the EMS Action Light. If there is
a problem in the transmission ECM system, the ECM disconnects the ground and the lamp illuminates.

Neutral Output To EMS (Pin J2-40 On ECM)

The transmission ECM is connected to Pin 9 (Neutral) at the EMS control. Pin 9 has a function called Program Code 1
and is used to control the category of Alert Indicator 7 which is the Parking Brake indicator. Depending on the condition,
the Parking Brake can be either a Category I or a Category III.

Service Tool Connector

This is a 2 wire digital data communication link that allows two way communication of the ECAP, ET or service tool
with the transmission ECM.

Transmission Indicator Lamp

This is used in conjunction with the diagnostic connector to visually flash light code sequences when diagnosing
transmission electrical system faults.

Buffered Transmission Output Speed (TOS)

This is the output from the transmission output speed sender after it goes through the ECM to the speedometer.

6TM00434 120H MOTOR GRADER Systems Operation


Media Number SENR9167-00 Publication Date 1997/06/06 Update Date 2000/10/19

Modes Of Operation
Power-up

Upon power-up, Solenoids D and G are energized and all other solenoids are de-energized. Normal operation is
established once the shift lever has been moved to the Neutral or Park position.

Start

The transmission Neutral Start Module (NSM) has a neutral start feature. The operator controlled key switch is an input
to the NSM with the start relay being powered by an output from the NSM. This allows the NSM to inhibit starting the
machine if certain conditions are not met. The shift lever must be in Neutral or Park before the NSM will allow the start
relay to be energized.

Upshift

When the shift handle is moved from the current gear position to a higher gear position, the ECM will shift the
transmission immediately. If an upshift is attempted with the transmission modulator pedal depressed, no action by the
ECM is taken until the transmission modulator pedal is released.

Downshift

When the shift handle is moved from the current gear position to a lower gear position, the ECM will shift the
transmission immediately. If a downshift is attempted with the transmission modulator pedal depressed, no action is
taken until the transmission modulator pedal is released. After it is released, the ECM will determine the proper gear.

If an overspeed condition occurs, the transmission is shifted to the lowest gear possible using special shift points. Unit
sequential downshifts result in the desired gear. If the TOS has not lowered below an overspeed condition, the ECM will
upshift to the appropriate gear.

Shift Out of Neutral

When the shift handle is moved from Neutral into a position which matches the direction the machine is moving, the
ECM will first check the TOS and determine if the requested gear can be obtained without overspeeding the
transmission. If no overspeed condition will occur, then the shift is made.

If a shift out of Neutral to the requested gear will cause an overspeed condition, the ECM will shift to the lowest gear
possible.

When a shift out of Neutral is attempted with the transmission modulator pedal depressed, one of two things will happen:

· If the TOS is below First gear high idle, the shift is made immediately.
· If the TOS is above First gear high idle, No Shift will be made until the TOS drops below First gear high idle or the
transmission modulator pedal is released.

file://C:\SIS\TMP\sis2F01prt.html 7/22/2008
Copyright 1991, 2008 Caterpillar Inc. All Rights Reserved. Page 2 of 3

Shift Into Neutral

When the shift handle is moved from a gear position to Neutral, the ECM will shift the transmission to Neutral
immediately. The status of the transmission modulator pedal or the TOS value does not matter.

Directional Shift

A directional shift is when the shift handle is moved from one gear position to another gear position of the opposite
direction or where a shift out of Neutral is requested with the machine moving in the opposite direction requested.

If the shift is requested with the TOS lower than Third gear high idle, the shift will be made immediately. If the shift is
requested with the TOS higher than Third gear high idle, the following steps will be taken:

1. The ECM will attempt to downshift the transmission to the lowest gear possible gear. If the TOS is lowered below the
Third gear high idle, the directional shift is made.

2. If the machine has not slowed to Third gear high idle, special shift points are used to downshift the transmission until
the TOS is below Third gear high idle.

When a directional shift is requested with the transmission modulator pedal depressed, the following occurs:

1. If the TOS is at First gear low idle, the shift is made immediately.

2. If the transmission modulator pedal is released when TOS is below Third gear high idle, the shift will be made
immediately.

Overspeed

The ECM will automatically upshift above the shift lever position whenever the transmission reaches the preset
overspeed upshift rpm. There is No Limit to the number of upshifts allowed. If the ECM has already automatically
upshifted because of an engine overspeed condition, the ECM will automatically downshift whenever the engine rpms
are lowered and then match the shift lever position.

Diagnostic/Protection Mode

The transmission ECM will take special actions based on the present gear position and the type of fault detected. The
EMS transmission electrical fault indicator lamp will turn ON and remain on until the fault is removed.

Service Mode

The Service Mode is enabled by uncoupling the diagnostic connector from the machine harness. This feature allows the
technician to diagnose problems with the system using flash codes. This can be used when an ECAP is not available.

Clutch Phasing

The transmission solenoids are disengaged and engaged with special timing to control the transmission clutch pressures
during shifts. Clutch phasing extends the life of the transmission clutches and makes for smoother shifts.

Low Battery Voltage

file://C:\SIS\TMP\sis2F01prt.html 7/22/2008
Copyright 1991, 2008 Caterpillar Inc. All Rights Reserved. Page 3 of 3

When battery voltage drops below a certain level, the ECM will turn OFF all transmission solenoids except Solenoids D
and G. If Solenoids D or G are already ON, they will be held on.

Warning And Control Action Light

This warning system alerts the operator about operating the machine prior to the transmission oil being warmed up. After
machine startup, a temperature switch located at the transmission control valve determines that the oil is below 0°C
(32.0°F) and a warning light in the center gage cluster alerts the operator to this condition.

The warning light is on if the oil is 0°C (32.0°F) or below, the light will also come on if there is an open circuit. If the
lamp in the gage panel is burned out, a level two alarm will come on.

Failure Modes
Solenoid Faults

The detection of a system fault which prevents proper solenoid engagement for the selected gear will result in the ECM
causing the transmission to go to Neutral by using solenoids D and G (preferred), solenoid D, solenoid G, or all
solenoids OFF (least preferred).

Shift Lever Switch Open Faults

The loss of a shift lever switch contact when leaving Neutral, First Forward, First Reverse, Second Forward, or Second
Reverse will result in the machine remaining in Neutral. Loss of a shift lever switch contact when in Third Forward or
higher or Third Reverse or higher will result in remaining in the present gear. Whenever a shift lever switch contact is
lost and either the Redundant Neutral or Neutral switches is lost, the transmission will be neutralized.

file://C:\SIS\TMP\sis2FB1prt.html 7/22/2008
Copyright 1991, 2008 Caterpillar Inc. All Rights Reserved. Page 3 of 3

Shift Lever Switch Short Active Faults

Two active speed switches will result in the transmission remaining in the present gear until a valid speed signal is
detected or Neutral is requested. If the forward or reverse switches are active, then the transmission will be neutralized
until a valid direction signal is determined.

Loss Of Or Erratic Transmission Output Speed (TOS) Signal

Loss of or erratic TOS will only result in the EMS Action Lamp and Action Alarm being turned ON to alert the operator
that further operation of the machine could cause damage. The overspeed feature will NOT function.

Introduction

(1) Electronic Control Module.

Motor Graders with the countershaft transmission include an onboard electronic controller referred to as an Electronic
Control Module (ECM).

The ECM should improve the ability of the mechanic to determine when and where a failure has occurred. Two methods
of testing and troubleshooting the transmission system from the ECM are provided.

The first (and the recommended) method of checking system status and diagnostics is with the use of the 8T-8697
Electronic Control Analyzer Programmer (ECAP) or an ET. Both the ECAP and the ET can also be used to program the
transmission ECM. With the use of a diagnostic tool, a variety of useful information is readily available. Current
operating information can be obtained such as: transmission output speed, gear lever position, battery voltage, etc. Also,
from the diagnostics screen, transmission diagnostic codes are available to help identify the source of any electrical
failure.

Transmission diagnostics can also be obtained from the transmission ECM without the use of ECAP or ET. This method
will provide the same diagnostic codes available from ECAP and ET. This method will not provide current display status
capability available from ECAP or ET.

Using Caterpillar Electronic Technician (ET) To Determine Service Codes

file://C:\SIS\TMP\sis5471prt.html 7/22/2008
Copyright 1991, 2008 Caterpillar Inc. All Rights Reserved. Page 2 of 3

ET Connections

(1) Datalink service connector - at fuse panel.

(2) 7X-1570 Cable.

(3) 7X-1700 Communication Adapter (with NEXG4523 Communication Adapter Software installed).

(4) 7X-1688 Cable.

(5) IBM compatible personal computer with Caterpillar Electronic Technician software installed (see note below).

NOTE: Caterpillar Electronic Technician is a software program that runs on an IBM compatible personal computer. To
use Caterpillar Electronic Technician (ET), order ET Single Use Program License software, JERD2124; the information
and requirements sheet, JEHP1026; the RS232 connection cable, 7X-1688 and the Data Subscription, JERD2142. The
requirements and information sheet lists the hardware required and the features of ET.

The service tool ET is not needed to determine or clear service codes, but it makes the tasks easier and faster. ET can
also display service code history information. These features make ET a useful troubleshooting tool.

ET connects to the datalink service connector which is round and has 9 contacts. The data link service connector is
located next to the key start switch. For more information, see the Electrical System Schematic in the machine Service
Manual.

To use the ET service tool, choose the MACHINE FUNCTIONS option from the main menu. The next menu is a list of
the Electronic Control Modules (ECM) installed on the machine. Choose the menu item "Steer/Brake/Transmission".
After determining the service codes with CAT ET, see the topic Troubleshooting Detected Faults that correspond to the
service codes.

NOTE: The preceding chart has changed from the former issue.

(2) Diagnostic plug. (3) ECM.

1. The transmission ECM (3) and the diagnostic plug are under the right side of the cab.

2. Locate the transmission indicator lamp (1) located in front of the steering wheel.

3. Place the Start/Stop Key Switch in the Run position with engine off. When the machine Start/Stop Key Switch is
turned to the ON position, the machine will display the Transmission Configuration Code as part of normal operation.
For example, when the Start/Stop Key of a 140H is turned to ON, a "41" code will be displayed on the EMS
transmission indicator lamp (1). The lamp will flash four times in rapid succession followed with a one second pause
followed by one additional flash.

4. To enter the Diagnostic Mode of the transmission ECM, uncouple the diagnostic plug (2). At this point the ECM
automatically defaults to the Active Diagnostic Mode. In the Active Diagnostic Mode the ECM will flash out the first
Active Fault in memory followed by a three second pause and then repeating the original fault. The original fault will
continue to be repeated until the diagnostic plug (2) is reconnected.

5. To enter the Active Diagnostic Scroll Mode, jumper sockets 1 and 2 of the diagnostic receptacle of the diagnostic plug
(2). The control will display all diagnostics that are presently active on the system. A three second pause separates the
codes as they are displayed. Removing the jumper while the control is displaying a diagnostic code will cause the control
to repeatedly display that code. Replacing the jumper resumes scrolling.

6. To enter the Logged Diagnostic Scroll Mode, jumper sockets 1 and 3 of the diagnostic receptacle. The ECM will now
display any faults which have occurred which are not presently active. A Diagnostic Code of "12" indicates there are no
Logged Faults present. Removing the jumper wire while the control is displaying a Diagnostic Code will cause the
control to repeatedly display that code. Replacing the 1 to 3 jumper resumes scrolling.

7. This mode is used to clear Logged Diagnostics from memory. To erase a code, put the control in the Logged
Diagnostic Scroll Mode until the desired code is displayed and then remove the jumper. The ECM will continue to
display the desired code. Jumper receptacle socket 1 to 4. The transmission indicator lamp (1) will turn off indicating the
code has been erased. The lamp will remain off until either the Logged Diagnostic Scroll Mode or the Active Diagnostic
Scroll Mode is re-entered. The above process can be repeated until there are no codes stored in memory. An active
diagnostic code cannot be erased from memory.

8. Reconnect diagnostic plug (2) to the receptacle when servicing is complete. Transmission indicator lamp (1) will stop
flashing.

1. The transmission ECM (3) and the diagnostic plug are under the right side of the cab.

2. Locate the transmission indicator lamp (1) located in front of the steering wheel.

3. Place the Start/Stop Key Switch in the Run position with engine off.

4. Uncouple the diagnostic plug (2).

5. Determine the right transmission configuration code from Chart 4 for the model of motor grader the control is
installed on. (For illustration purposes, assume that the model is a 140H. Therefore the transmission configuration code
would be "41".

6. Jumper Sockets 1,2 and 3 on the diagnostic receptacle. Place the transmission control lever in the Forward gear which
corresponds to the first digit of the desired transmission configuration code. For this example, place the transmission
control lever in Fourth Forward. Wait until the transmission indicator lamp (1) flashes out this digit. Place the
transmission control lever in the neutral position. Remove jumpers completely out of the diagnostic receptacle. The first
digit is programmed.

7. Jumper Sockets 1, 2 and 4 on the diagnostic receptacle. Place the transmission control lever in the Forward gear which
corresponds to the second digit of the desired transmission configuration code. For this example, place the transmission
control lever in First Forward. Wait until the transmission indicator lamp (1) flashes out this digit. Place the transmission
control lever in the neutral position. Remove jumpers completely out of the diagnostic receptacle. The second digit is
programmed.

8. Replace the diagnostic receptacle. Turn the Start/Stop Key Switch to the OFF position.

9. Turn the Start/Stop Key Switch to the ON position. Watch the transmission indicator lamp (1). Make sure that it
flashes out the desired transmission configuration code. In our example, you should see a "41" flash code displayed on
power up.

Troubleshooting
Troubleshooting Without An ECAP Or ECM Diagnostics

Operate the machine in each direction and in all speeds. Note the noises that are not normal and find their source. If the
operation is not correct, refer to the following problems and procedures.

The following procedure has been designed without the benefit of using diagnostics from the transmission ECM.
However, using an ECAP in combination with this troubleshooting guide should improve the efficiency in resolving the
problem.

Problem:

Motor Grader Will Not Key Start/Stop

Corrective Procedure:

1. Check the transmission control fuse (10 amp) located in fuse panel at the base of the steering console. Replace if
necessary.

2. Remove the transmission ECM from under the cab and disconnect the 40-pin Deutch© connectors. Measure voltage
between Pins J1-1 and J1-2.

3. If the voltage measured in Step 2 is above 20 DCV, the transmission ECM is inoperative. If some voltage is measured
and the voltage is less the 20 DCV, the batteries are undercharged. If no voltage was measured in Step 2, proceed to Step
4.

4. Check Pin J1-1 of the 40 pin Deutch© connector to determine the voltage between the pin and frame. If Pin J1-1 has
voltage, repair 202 Black ground wire in machine harness. If Pin J1-1 does not have voltage, repair 126 Pink wire in
machine harness.

Problem:

"First Gear Out Of Neutral" Only Working Gear

Corrective Procedure:

1. Start engine and operate the machine in order to determine which gears are operable.

2. Stop the machine, engage the parking brake and turn off the engine.

3. Jumper the manual modulation pressure switch in order to determine if this pressure switch is working. The manual
modulation pressure switch is located on the Hydraulic Clutch Modulation Control (HCM). Disconnect the 2 pin
connector and jumper Pins 1 and 2 of the receptacle.

4. Start the machine and attempt to operate the machine in all gears. If the machine has more than one gear out of neutral
then the manual modulation pressure switch has failed. If the first gear out of neutral is still the only gear available,

file://C:\SIS\TMP\sis5681prt.html 7/22/2008
Copyright 1991, 2008 Caterpillar Inc. All Rights Reserved. Page 2 of 11

proceed to Step 5.

5. From Step 4, the wiring harness between the manual modulation pressure switch and the transmission ECM is suspect.
Remove the transmission ECM from under the cab and disconnect both 40 pin Deutch© connectors. Check continuity
between Pins J1-2 and J2-11 of the machine harness. If continuity is obtained while the jumper is in place, the
transmission ECM has failed. If continuity is not obtained, the wiring harness between the transmission ECM and the
manual modulation pressure switch has failed.

Troubleshooting Faults Detected By The ECM

NOTE: The transmission solenoids are identified with letters (A through H) in this publication. The solenoids may also
be identified with numbers (1 through 8). Solenoid 1 is Solenoid A, Solenoid 2 is Solenoid B, etc.

NOTE: P is used as an abbreviation for Pin. Example: P3 is Pin 3.

NOTE: When Harness with a letter (example: Harness F) is used, the Harness F can be identified on the electrical
schematic.

NOTE: The transmission ECM is seldom the cause of a problem. If the "Troubleshooting With An ECAP" guide directs
you to replace the ECM, then double check your steps to be sure that no mistake was made before replacing the ECM.

General Information
SMCS Code: 7606

General Hazard Information


In order to prevent injury or death, all machines equipped with a Caterpillar Product Link system are required to have a
warning label that is clearly posted in the cab:

This machine is equipped with a Caterpillar Product Link radio


communication device which must be deactivated within 6.0 m
(20 ft) of a blast zone. Failure to do so could result in serious
injury or death.

If the machine is required to work within 6.0 m (20 ft) of a blast area, then the operator must take one of the following
precautions:

· Disconnect the Product Link module from the power source by disconnecting the wiring harness at the Product
Link module.

· Temporarily remove the Product Link module from the machine.


· Add an ON/OFF switch in order to allow the Product Link module to be turned off from the cab.
Consult your Caterpillar Dealer if there are any questions.

This warning in no way supersedes or allows deviation from the published requirements and regulations found in "Title
30 of the Code of Federal Regulations (CFR)". Every mine operation should conduct their own hazard assessments and
meet all of the requirements of "Title 30 of the Code of Federal Regulations (CFR)" in order to ensure safe operation in
the storage, transportation, loading, and blasting of explosives.

The following Product Link specifications are provided to aid in conducting hazard assessments and ensuring
compliance with all local regulations.

Product Link Transmitter Power: 5 Watts

Operating Frequency Range: 148 - 150 MHz

General Troubleshooting Information


As a reference, a typical system schematic is included in the installation section of this manual. Also, many Caterpillar
machines have a published Electrical System Schematic that depicts a Product Link installation. Refer to these
schematics if a troubleshooting procedure instructs you to "REPAIR THE HARNESS". The continuity checks and
resistance checks should be performed at the connectors in order to locate a failure in the harness. At a component
connector, always check the ground circuit. Less than five ohms of resistance is required from the ground contacts to
frame ground. A problem can be incorrectly diagnosed, if an excessive resistance that is greater than 5 ohms is present in
the ground circuit. During a troubleshooting procedure, you should inspect all component and harness connections
before a component is replaced. If these connections are not clean and tight, the connection can cause an electrical
problem.

The problem can be permanent or the problem can be intermittent. Ensure that the wires are pushed into the connectors
completely. Make sure that the connections are tight before other tests are performed. A failure of an electrical
component can cause a failure of another component or a failure can be caused by the failure of other components. You
should always attempt to find a failure and you should correct the cause of a failure in the electrical system before you
replace a component.

Diagnostics Using Product Link

Illustration 67

LED Indicators On The Side Of The Product Link

(1) Red LED Indicator (Diagnostic Indicator)

(2) Yellow LED Indicator (Power Indicator)

(3) Green LED Indicator (Message Indicator)

The Product Link module has three LED indicators behind a clear window on the side of the unit. These three LED
indicators blink in order to convey several types of information to the technician. This information is useful when a
computer with the Electronic Technician is not available. The LED indicators do not flash together. Each LED indicator
operates independently.

The red LED flashes in a specific sequence in order to indicate any current diagnostic codes for the Product Link. If the
red LED indicator is always ON, the unit has failed. For more information, see Troubleshooting, "Using the Diagnostic
Indicator to Determine Diagnostic Codes".

The yellow LED indicator (2) blinks at 2 Hz (two times per second) in order to indicate that the keyswitch is in the ON
position. The yellow LED indicator blinks at 4 Hz (four times per second) when the engine is running. The yellow LED
indicator blinks at 1 Hz in order to indicate that the modem is ON and the keyswitch is not on.

The green LED indicator (3) blinks at .5 Hz (one time per two seconds) when a satellite is visible.

When there are messages in the queue that are waiting to be sent to the satellite, the green LED indicator blinks four
times at .5 Hz. This indicates that the satellite is visible. Then, the green LED indicator goes off for 2 seconds. Then, the
green LED indicator flashes one time for each message that has been placed in the queue. When this process is
completed, the green LED indicator turns OFF for 2 seconds, and the cycle begins again. If the LED indicator does not
blink four times at .5 Hz, no satellite is visible. The green LED indicator will blink once for every message that has been
placed into the queue.

Position Reports Not Available


SMCS Code: 7606-038-RPT

System Operation Description:

There are problems that could be reported with the Product Link System but the problems are not caused by the Product
Link Module. The following section describes the problems. The section contains steps that are used to determine the
possible cause. Check for active diagnostic codes for the Product Link. Correct any diagnostic codes before proceeding.
The module, the antenna, and cables should be visually inspected for damage. Verify that there are no loose connections.

Description of the Problem :

· The position reports are not received in the office.


The Product Link system depends on several communication links in order to transfer data from the machine to the
office. The following procedures assume that these communication links are operating properly. The proper
Communication links are listed below:

· The Orbcomm satellite network is operational in the geographic area of concern. The network is operational
when messages can travel to the satellite and the messages can travel to the earth and Caterpillar.

· The Product Link module is correctly configured to communicate on the Orbcomm network. This was verified
during manufacturing tests.

· The worldwide network of Caterpillar's computers is passing messages to the software ("CPLS-Web: Caterpillar
Product Link System - PC Software").

· The CPLS is configured properly and the software is functioning.


The Product Link module should not be replaced without verifying that these issues have been investigated. Contact the
Service System Support Center for aid in resolving these issues.

Every 24 hours, in "power mode 1", four position reports and one SMU/Fuel report are transmitted. Fewer messages are
sent in power mode 2 and power mode 3. If there is no position report after moving the machine and the SMU report is
received, the unit is likely to be configured correctly. There is likely to be a problem with the system's GPS. Proceed
with the following steps in order to determine the cause:

Test Step 1. CHECK THE LED INDICATORS.

Check the LED indicators on the Product Link.

3. Measure the distance from the mark on one front tire to the mark that is on the other front tire. This should be done at
both the front of the tires and at the rear of the front tires. The toe-in is correct if the measurement (K) at the front of the
front tires is less than the measurement (L) at the rear of the front tires. The measurement at the front of the front tire
should be smaller by 6.0 mm (.25 inch).

4. Adjust the toe-in, as needed. Loosen the nuts (13) in the clamps on the tie rod (14). Rotate tie rod (14) in the direction
that is needed to achieve the correct toe-in for the front wheels. When the toe-in adjustment is correct, orient the bolts
that are in the clamps on the tie rod, as shown. Tighten the nuts (13) that are on the clamps on tie rod (14) to the
specified torque.

Assembly Procedure For Axle Steering Linkage:


1. Before you perform the assembly procedure for the axle steering linkage, obtain the correct toe-in for the front wheels.

Note: Some of the motor graders may have different implements. The number of control valves in each valve group may
vary.

The hydraulic system is a proportional priority pressure compensated (PPPC) system. The advantage of the PPPC system
over the former load sensing pressure compensated (LSPC) system is the ability to provide a balanced amount of oil
flow to each hydraulic circuit when the total flow demand exceeds the total available hydraulic pump flow.

The PPPC system is a load sensing system. The PPPC system uses a load sensing hydraulic and steering pump in order
to perform the pressure compensation function. The implement control valves have an internal flow compensator. This
flow compensator performs the proportional priority function.

hydraulic and steering pump (6). With no demand on the implement cylinders or the steering cylinders, the hydraulic
pump is at low pressure standby. The correct amount of oil is pumped in order to replace the internal leakage. Pressure
and flow compensator valve (8) maintains a margin pressure of 3300 kPa (480 psi). The hydraulic pump delivers
pressure oil to combination valve (5). The combination valve directs oil pressure to both steering metering pump (3), to
right valve group (2) and to left valve group (11).

Steering metering pump (3) and right valve group (2) and left valve group (11) have individual signal lines to
combination valve (5). From the combination valve, a resolved signal is directed to pressure and flow compensator valve
(8). The resolved signal directs the hydraulic and steering pump so that the pump can meet the load of the system. Also,
the hydraulic and steering pump can meet the needs of the flow.

Hydraulic tank (1) is located behind the operator's cab. The oil reservoir is not vented. The oil reservoir contains a
reverse flow element. Pressure is relieved when the cap is loosened. Secondary steering suction port (CC) and implement
suction port (DD) provide outlets for the oil. These outlets flow to the hydraulic and steering pump and the secondary
steering pump. Case drain return port (BB) and implement return port (AA) combine the oil into the manifold. The
manifold routes the oil through the bottom of the filter element and inside of the filter element. The filter element is
positioned below the oil level in order to reduce turbulence.

If the filter element becomes full of debris, oil cannot pass through the filter element. The restriction to oil flow causes a
pressure increase which opens bypass valve (2). A pressure of 35 kPa (5 psi) will cause the bypass valve to open. Now,
the oil is allowed directly into hydraulic tank (1). When oil bypasses filter element (3), debris in the oil will cause
damage to other system components. Correct maintenance must be used in order to make sure that the filter element does
not stop the flow of clean oil to the hydraulic system.

Combination Valve

Combination valve (1) contains the steering priority valve. The steering priority valve directs the oil from the hydraulic
and steering pump to the metering pump. When the metering pump is in the HOLD position, oil from the hydraulic and
steering pump is directed to the implement circuit. As the metering pump is rotated, oil from the hydraulic and steering
pump is directed to the steering circuit. Steering relief valve (2) protects the steering circuit. Implement relief valve (3)
protects the hydraulic and steering pump from excessively high pressure. Signal relief valve (4) limits the signal pressure
in the implement circuit. Signal purge valve (6) is used to relieve the implement signal pressure when the implement

control valves are moved to the HOLD position. Signal resolver valve (5) directs the highest signal pressure from either
the steering circuit or the implement circuits to the pressure and flow compensator valve of the hydraulic and steering
pump.

When the combination valve is in the low pressure standby condition, signal oil pressure from steering priority valve

that is directed to the pressure and flow compensator valve causes a slight increase in low pressure standby.

Steering priority valve (16) establishes priority to the steering circuit. The oil demand for the steering circuit is met
before the demand of the other implement circuits. The valve also senses the load pressure in the steering circuit. The
valve transmits this pressure to the signal resolver (8).

Oil flows through check valve (3). Then, the oil flows through supply port (15) to the steering circuit. The check valve
prevents back pressure in the combination valve from the steering accumulator and from the secondary steering circuit
(if equipped).

When the steering metering pump is rotated, steering signal pressure (10) from the steering metering pump moves
steering priority valve (16) to the left. This allows more pump oil to flow to the steering metering pump. As the system
pressure increases above the precharge pressure of the steering accumulator, the steering accumulator will charge up to
the service pressure. This eliminates any fluctuations in operation while the operator moves the steering wheel or while
other hydraulic circuits are active.

When both the steering circuit and the implement circuits are used, steering priority valve (16) will constantly shift. The
valve shifts in order to satisfy oil flow demands. Also, the valve shifts in order to provide oil to the steering circuit and to
the implements. The steering circuit always has priority over the implements. When any of implement control valves are
operated, the signal oil is directed through the signal network to signal resolver (8), signal purge valve (7) and signal
relief valve (6).

If signal pressure (9) is higher than steering signal pressure (10), the ball in signal resolver valve (8) will move upward.
This will direct implement signal pressure (9) to the pressure compensator valve. As the implement signal pressure
increases above 1035 kPa (150 psi), the signal purge valve (7) will move upward. This will close the drain passage. A
small orifice is located inside signal purge valve (7). This orifice continually meters some of the signal pressure that
flows to the hydraulic tank.

If the implement signal pressure increases above the pressure setting of the signal relief valve, signal relief valve (6) will
limit the signal pressure that goes to the pressure compensator valve. This will limit the output pressure of the pump to
the signal pressure plus the margin pressure.

Implement relief valve (12) provides protection for the system if the pressure compensator fails to destroke the hydraulic
and steering pump. Also, the valve limits a spike in the pump circuit.

The signal oil for the blade lift is forcing all the signal check valves and compensator valves in the implements to be in
the CLOSED position. Even though there is steering signal oil pressure, the signal oil pressure is lower than the signal
pressure for the blade lift. The ball in signal resolver (8) moves in order to direct the signal oil pressure for the blade lift
to the pressure compensator valve.

The hydraulic and steering pump transfers oil from the hydraulic tank to the implement cylinders and to the circle drive
motor through the implement control valves. The combination valve provides the priority for the steering circuit. The
combination valve also transfers load signals from the implement control valves to the hydraulic pump.

The hydraulic and steering pump is an axial piston type pump.

The hydraulic and steering pump is located below the cab in front of the engine.

The hydraulic and steering pump had nine pistons (8). When drive shaft (5) turns pump rotating group (9), the retraction
plate and the slippers turn. The piston ends connect to the slippers. Swashplate (4) does not turn. There is a bearing
journal on each side of the swashplate. The two bearing journals are inside the bearings which allow movement of the
swashplate. Oil flow through the passages in the pistons lubricates the internal components of the pump.

When swashplate (4) is at the maximum angle and drive shaft (5) is turning, pistons (9) are moved in and out of pump
rotating group (9). As the pistons move in and out of the barrels, the pistons create a vacuum at the inlet opening from
the hydraulic tank. The oil passes through the inlet opening from the hydraulic tank and into the piston bore in the barrel.
As the barrel continues to turn, the pistons are pushed into the barrel as the slippers rotate up the angle of swashplate (4).
The pistons push the oil from the piston bore through the outlet opening to the combination valve.

When the engine is operating, the pump will produce flow in order to satisfy the following conditions:

· The demand of the steering system


· The pressure setting of the pressure compensator
· The demand of the hydraulic implements
· The internal lubrication of the pump components
· The margin pressure of the pump

The pressure and flow compensator valve automatically keeps the pump pressure and the pump flow at the level that is
needed to fulfill the requirements of the hydraulic and steering system. When the hydraulic circuits are not active, the
pump is at low pressure standby. However, if one or more circuits are active, the resolver network compares the signal
pressure of the implement control valve and the steering signal pressure. The highest resolved signal pressure is then
routed to the pressure and flow compensator valve. The pressure and flow compensator valve adjusts the swashplate
angle on the pump in order to maintain flow and pressure requirements. The difference between the load pressure in the
implement cylinder and the discharge pressure at the pump is called the margin pressure.

The pressure and flow compensator valve limits the pressure in order to prevent overloads of the pump and overloads of
the implement system.

When the work port pressure exceeds the setting of the pressure and flow compensator valve, the pressure compensator
will override the flow compensator. This protects the hydraulic system from damaging high pressures.

When the engine is turned off, bias spring (7) holds swashplate (4) at the maximum angle.

When the engine is started, the hydraulic pump shaft (5) begins to rotate. Oil is drawn into the bore of pistons (8). The
pump rotating group (9) starts to rotate and the pistons (8) stroke. This forces the hydraulic oil into the hydraulic system.

The pump is in low pressure standby when the following conditions are met:

· The machine is operating.


· The implements are in the HOLD position.
· There is no demand on the steering.
In low pressure standby, there is no flow or no pressure demands on the hydraulic pump. Also, low signal pressure from
the steering priority valve is allowed into the flow compensator spring (12). The low signal pressure from the
combination valve is approximately 345 kPa (50 psi). The low signal pressure combines with the setting of the flow
compensator which creates a low pressure standby of approximately 3300 kPa (480 psi).

Note: The low pressure standby is not adjusted. The low pressure standby will vary with different machines. Low
pressure standby will also vary in the same pump as the system or the pump leakage increases. As the leakage increases,
the pump will slightly upstroke in order to compensate for the leakage. When the control piston blocks more of the
cross-drilled hole, the low pressure standby will drop toward margin pressure. When the control piston completely
covers the cross-drilled hole, the low pressure standby will equal the margin pressure. This happens because of the
increased swashplate angle that is required.

During engine start-up, bias spring (7) holds swashplate (4) at the maximum angle. As the hydraulic pump produces oil
flow, system pressure begins to increase because the flow is blocked at the implement control valves. This pressure is
sensed under both flow compensator spool (11) and pressure compensator spool (10). This pressure exerts pressure
against flow compensator spool (11) which compresses flow compensator spring (12). When this occurs, pressure is
exerted against signal pressure line (1) from the combination valve. This allows the oil to flow to control piston (3) in the
hydraulic pump.

As the pressure in control piston (3) increases, the control piston overcomes the force of bias spring (7) and the pressure
in bias piston (6). This moves the swashplate to a smaller angle. The control piston (3) moves to the right until the cross-
drilled passages in the stem are uncovered. Oil in the control piston discharges to the pump case drain. When the
swashplate is at the minimum angle, the hydraulic pump will produce enough oil flow in order to make up the leakage in
the hydraulic system. At this time, the system pressure is at low pressure standby at approximately 3300 kPa (480 psi).

Low pressure standby is higher than margin pressure. This difference is due to the closed centered implement control
valves. When all the implement control valves are in the HOLD position, the pump must fully destroke. This requires a
higher control pressure for control piston (3). The output oil from the hydraulic pump forces flow compensator spool
(11) upward and flow compensator spring (12) is compressed further. This routes more supply oil to control piston (3).

Oil flows through the cross-drilled passages in the stem to the pump case drain.

True Low Pressure Standby

There are two types of low pressure standby with the proportional priority pressure compensated hydraulic system.
When the purging screw for the pressure and flow compensator valve is opened one turn, the low signal pressure from
the combination valve is allowed to drain back to the hydraulic tank. True low pressure standby is attained. True low
pressure standby is approximately 3300 kPa (480 psi).

(LL) Hydraulic tank or case drain oil

When steering and/or any implement control valves requires oil flow, a signal is sent from the combination valve to the
pressure and flow compensator valve. The signal pressure in signal pressure line (1) and the force of flow compensator
spring (12) causes the pressure to be greater at the top of flow compensator spool (11). Therefore, the pressure is less at
the bottom of the flow compensator spool. This causes the flow compensator spool to move down. The flow
compensator spool blocks the output oil of the pump and from control piston (3). Then, the spool opens the pump output
oil by a passage to the pump case drain. Pressure at the control piston is reduced. This allows bias spring (7) to move
bias piston (6) to a larger angle. Also, this allows bias spring (7) to move swashplate (4) to a larger angle. The hydraulic
pump will now produce more oil flow.

Any of the following conditions may result in upstroking the pump:

· Steering or any implement control valves are activated when the system is at low pressure standby.
· Any of the directional stems in the implement control valves are moved for additional oil flow.
· Additional implement circuits are activated.
· Engine rpm decreases. In this case, the shaft speed of the hydraulic pump decreases. This causes a decrease in oil
flow and a decrease in pump supply pressure. The hydraulic pump must upstroke in order to maintain the
requirements of the system oil flow.

The hydraulic pump may upstroke without any increase in the signal pressure. For example, if one implement is
operating at 13800 kPa (2000 psi), the output pressure of the pump is 15900 kPa (2305 psi). This output pressure is the
signal pressure of 13800 kPa (2000 psi) plus the flow compensator spring pressure of 2100 kPa (305 psi).

When an implement starts at 6900 kPa (1000 psi), the maximum signal pressure remains at 13800 kPa (2000 psi). The

file://C:\SIS\TMP\sis1921prt.html 7/22/2008

supply pressure will decrease momentarily in order to provide the increased oil flow that is needed at the implements.

The force at the top of the flow compensator spool (11) pushes the spool downward because the pressure is less at the
bottom of the spool. This allows oil to flow to the pump case drain. The angle of swashplate (4) increases and the
hydraulic pump provides more oil flow.

As the hydraulic pump oil flow increases, pump output pressure also increases. When the output pressure of the pump
increases and the output pressure equals the sum of the load signal pressure plus the pressure of flow compensator spring
(12), flow compensator spool (11) moves to a metering position. This allows the hydraulic system to become stable.

The difference between the load signal pressure and the output pressure of the pump is the value of the flow compensator
spring. The value is 2100 kPa (305 psi).

When less oil flow is needed, the hydraulic pump destrokes. When the force at the bottom of flow compensator spool
(11) becomes greater than the force at the top of the flow compensator spool, the pump will destroke. The flow
compensator spool moves up. This allows more oil to flow to control piston (3). Pressure in the control piston then
overcomes the combined force of bias piston (6) and bias spring (7). The pressure moves swashplate (4) to a smaller
angle. The hydraulic pump will now produce less oil flow.

Any of the following conditions can result in destroking the hydraulic pump:

· All implement control valves are moved to the HOLD position and there is no steering demand. The hydraulic
pump returns to low pressure standby.

· The directional stem of the implement control valve is moved in order to reduce the oil flow.
· A circuit is deactivated.
· Engine rpm increases. This increases the speed of the hydraulic pump shaft. This causes an increase in oil flow.
The pump destrokes in order to maintain the requirements of the system oil flow.

As hydraulic pump flow decreases, the pump output pressure also decreases. When pump output pressure (AA)
decreases and the pump output pressure becomes the sum of the load signal pressure plus the pressure of flow
compensator spring (12), the flow compensator spool (11) moves to a metering position. This allows the hydraulic
system to become stable.

The pump can destroke without the increase of the signal pressure. For example, if two implements are activated and one
is operating at 13800 kPa (2000 psi) and the other operating at 6900 kPa (1000 psi), the pump output pressure is 15900
kPa (2305 psi). The maximum signal pressure is 13800 kPa (2000 psi) and the spring force of the flow compensator is
2100 kPa (305 psi).

If the operating implement is in the HOLD position at 6900 kPa (1000 psi), the maximum signal pressure is 13800 kPa
(2000 psi). The supply pressure increases due to the reduced oil flow that is needed at the implements.

The supply pressure will push the flow compensator spring upward. This allows more oil to flow to control piston (3).
The angle of swashplate (4) decreases and the hydraulic pump reduces the oil flow.

During the high pressure stall, the signal pressure is limited to 22050 kPa (3200 psi) by the signal relief valve. The signal
relief valve is in the combination valve. The signal relief valve controls the maximum load signal to the flow
compensator spool (11). This limits the maximum load signal to the hydraulic pump. Also, this allows the pump to
maintain margin pressure when a cylinder is stalled. This margin pressure is required in the PPPC implement valves in
order to maintain flow to other nonstall cylinders. When only one hydraulic circuit is operated and stalled, the hydraulic
pump will normally destroke because the flow demand is zero.

If the signal relief valve is set too high, the pressure compensator limits the maximum hydraulic system pressure. The
maximum pressure setting of the pressure compensator is 25500 kPa (3700 psi). The pressure compensator spool (10) is
held down during normal operation by the pressure compensator spring (13).

If the pressure and flow compensator valve fails to destroke the hydraulic pump or there is a pressure spike, the
implement relief valve in the combination valve will direct the excess pressure to the hydraulic tank. The implement
relief valve is set at 27600 kPa (3900 psi).

Implement System
SMCS Code: 5050

The implement circuits are composed of four main components:

· Hydraulic and steering pump


· Combination valve
· Implement control valves
· Cylinders and the circle drive
The hydraulic and steering pump transfers oil from the hydraulic tank to the implement cylinders and the circle drive
through the implement control valves. The combination valve provides the priority for the steering circuit. The
combination valve also transfers load signals from the implement control valves to the hydraulic and steering pump.

There are typically eight implement circuits on the machine. Seven are cylinder circuits and one is a hydraulic motor
circuit for rotating the blade circle about the drawbar. An implement system can accommodate as many as fourteen
implement control valves. The individual control valves regulate the operation of each implement. Operator control
levers for operating the implement control valves are located on the operator console on both the right side of the
steering wheel and the left side of the steering wheel.

Note: Some of the motor graders may have different implements. The number of the control valves in each valve group
may vary.

Note: When you replace an implement control valve use the same part number. This will keep the control valve and the
cylinder matched.

Note: For additional information on the hydraulic system, refer to the hydraulic schematic for your machine.

The following implement circuits do not have line relief valves:

· Articulation
· Centershift
· Circle Drive
· Wheel Lean
Control stem (14) has metering holes and slots that are designed to match the flow requirements of each circuit. If the
components become damaged or worn, the components in the control valves are replaceable.

Lock valve poppets (1) are incorporated into the control valve body. A guided poppet is used in order to reduce leakage.
The reduced valve leakage reduces cylinder drift.

When the total flow demand exceeds the maximum pump flow, compensator valve (6) distributes the hydraulic pump

file://C:\SIS\TMP\sis1A81prt.html 7/22/2008
Copyright 1991, 2008 Caterpillar Inc. All Rights Reserved. Page 3 of 4

flow that is available. The compensator valve creates an additional restriction in each circuit. This is done so a single
circuit cannot use all of the available pump flow. Valve (6) maintains an equal pressure drop across each opening. The
oil flow from each implement control valve is proportional to the opening of control stem (14).

Signal check valve (12) allows pressure oil for the load cylinder to travel out of the implement control valve through a
passage and into the signal network. The signal check valve also prevents back pressure from the other control valves
from acting on the valve. The highest load pressure is the only pressure that passes through signal check valve (12). All
other signal check valves are seated. This signal pressure also becomes the input signal to compensator valve (6). Signal
chamber (16) is on top of compensator valve (6) in each implement control valve. Compensator valve (6) regulates the
flow of oil to the cylinders when multiple implement circuits are being used.

Centering spring (8) centers control stem (14) in the control valve body. When the operator moves the control lever
forward or backward, counterbalance spring (15) compensates for the weight of the linkage rod. Spring (15) also
compensates for the difference of force of the control lever. This added force makes the operation of the lever
approximately equal in both direction. This also improves the feel of the lever controls.

Implement Control Valve with a Relief Valve


Line relief valves protect the rod end of the circuit from high pressures. The following implement circuits include a line
relief valve:

· Blade lift
· Blade tip
· Blade sideshift
· Ripper
· Scarifier
· Snow plow/dozer lift
· Snow plow/dozer angle
The following implement circuits include two line relief valves:

· Wing lift
· Wing tilt

file://C:\SIS\TMP\sis1A81prt.html 7/22/2008

The blade lift control valves have a FLOAT position. The control valve for the snow plow/dozer lift also has a FLOAT
position. These valves will be covered separately in the service manual.

These valves operate in the same manner as the implement valves without a relief valve. When the oil pressure at port
(5) overcomes the spring force of the relief valve, the relief valve opens. Then, rod end oil flows to the tank.

· Blade lift
· Snow Plow/Dozer Lift
The blade lift control valve is different from the typical control valve. The differences are listed below:

· Lock valve piston (4) is made of two pieces.


· If equipped, float detent (16) is attached to the end of control stem (14).
· The line relief valve for the rod end of the cylinder (6) is present.

file://C:\SIS\TMP\sis1B31prt.html 7/22/2008

Several of the other implement circuits require a line relief valve on the rod end of the cylinder. This protects the over-
pressurization of the cylinders. Also, this protects the cylinders from failure. These failures can result from thermal
expansion and from linkage interferences. The following implement circuits require a line relief valve:

· Blade tip
· Blade sideshift
· Front mounted scarifier (if equipped)
· Rear mounted ripper/scarifier (if equipped)
Note: Some machines provide the capability to lower implements to the ground with an inoperable engine. Refer to the
appropriate Operation and Maintenance Manual for the correct procedure.

Control stem (14) is moved fully to the right in order to raise the blade. The hydraulic oil flows around the stem. The
hydraulic oil moves compensator valve (18) upward. This directs the oil to lock valve piston (4). This pushes the pistons
outward. Lock valve poppets (1) unseat from lock valve seats (3). Then, the pump oil flows through port B (20). The
cylinder oil flows through port A (19) to the hydraulic tank.

The control valve is in the FLOAT position. When control stem (14) is moved to the DETENT position, oil from the
hydraulic pump is directed to the center of lock valve piston (4). The oil pressure moves the two-piece piston outward.
This causes both lock valve poppets (1) to be unseated from lock valve seats (3). The rod end of the blade lift cylinders
and the head end of the blade lift cylinders are then opened to the hydraulic tank.

A control valve with a hydraulic detent operates in the same manner as a control valve with a mechanical detent. The
differences from the control valve with a mechanical detent are listed below:

· Hydraulic activated detent


· Passage for pressurized pump oil (21)
The hydraulic activated detent allows the control valves to return to the HOLD position when there is a loss of hydraulic
pressure and/or a loss of engine power.

When the control valve lever is in the FLOAT position, pressurized oil in passage (21) forces piston (23) to the right.
This seats balls (24) into retainer (22). The hydraulically activated detent locks control stem (14) in the FLOAT position.

When the control valve lever is moved to the HOLD position, control stem (14) moves to the right. Control stem (14)
unseats balls (24). If there is a loss of hydraulic pressure and/or a loss of engine power, pressurized oil in passage (21)
decreases. This allows piston (23) to move to the left. Control stem (14) and the control lever move into the HOLD
position.

Hydraulic oil for the steering circuit is supplied by the hydraulic and steering pump (1). The steering priority valve gives
priority to the steering function over the available hydraulic pump flow. The priority valve senses pressure in the steering
circuit. Then, the priority valve directs flow to steering accumulator (3) until the demand is satisfied.

Typically, the requirements of the oil flow for the steering circuit are significantly less than the available hydraulic pump
flow. This means that oil flow to other implement circuits will not be interrupted when the steering is operated. Steering
metering pump (4) provides oil flow to the steering cylinders. This depends on the direction and the rotation of the
steering wheel. The steering cylinders that are mounted on the front axle turn the front wheels to the right or to the left.

Lower supply oil pressure (CC) is approximately 2275 kPa (330 psi) when the steering wheel is not turned. During any
steering condition, lower supply oil pressure (CC) will usually be 2100 kPa (305 psi) above the steering cylinder load
pressure. This difference is called margin pressure. Oil flows through the steering circuit check valve inside combination
valve (2) to steering accumulator (3) and/or to steering metering pump (4). When oil flows to steering metering pump
(4), the oil continues to flow through the steering metering pump inlet port. Then, the oil flows through the check valve
and to rotary sleeve (7). Steering accumulator (3) matches the pressure of the steering demand above 6900 kPa (1000
psi).

Low signal pressure (FF) from steering priority valve (9) is connected to the signal port on steering metering pump (4).
Signal oil then flows through an orifice in rotary sleeve (7) back to hydraulic tank (10).

When there is no steering demand, the oil pressure in the signal line is approximately 345 kPa (50 psi). Oil in the signal
line is supplied from the center passage in the steering priority valve (9). The oil flows into the steering priority valve
spring chamber to the signal port of steering metering pump (4). Signal oil also flows through signal resolver (8) to the
signal port of the pressure and flow compensator valve on the hydraulic and steering pump.

When the steering wheel is turned, oil flow from steering priority valve (9) and steering accumulator (3) is directed to
the steering cylinders through rotary sleeve (7) and metering action of gerotor (6). The load sensing line on steering
metering pump (4) is internally connected to the pressurized cylinder ports. This action limits the signal pressure that
originates from the steering priority valve to the actual steering cylinder pressure. Signal pressure upstrokes the
hydraulic and steering pump in order to meet the highest pressure and the flow demands.

For a right turn, gerotor (6) pumps oil from the inlet supply to the line relief with anticavitation valves (19) and continues
to steering cylinders (5). Oil flows to the head end of the left steering cylinder. This forces the cylinder rod outward.
Also, oil flows to the rod end of the right steering cylinder. This forces the cylinder rod inward. The steering cylinders
pivot the wheels so that the machine turns right.

Oil that is forced out of the opposite ends of the steering cylinders flows back to rotary sleeve (7). The oil continues to
combination valve (2) and flows back to hydraulic tank (10).

Inside steering metering pump (4) are two line reliefs with anticavitation valves (19). Valves (19) prevent damage from
high pressure oil in the steering circuit when an outside force on a front wheel suddenly moves a steering cylinder rod
farther inward or outward of a steering cylinder than necessary. If the oil pressure increases to approximately 22100 kPa
(3200 psi), the relief valve will open and allow oil to transfer from one side of the steering circuit to the other steering
circuit.

SMCS Code: 4331

Illustration 39

(1) Combination valve

(2) Steering accumulator

The steering accumulator (2) is mounted to the combination valve (1). The steering accumulator is used to store
pressurized oil. This pressurized oil is used in the steering circuit. The bladder inside the accumulator has a minimum
6900 kPa (1000 psi) nitrogen precharge. When the operator increases steering demand above the minimum precharge,
the steering accumulator will store the increased pressure to maximum relief. The pressure of the steering accumulator
will reach a maximum of 19300 kPa (2800 psi). This is the maximum steering pressure that is available to the steering
circuit.

The oil under pressure in the steering accumulator keeps the steering metering pump full and ready for a quick steering
response. When an implement is used, the pressurized oil also prevents hard spots in the steering. The pressurized oil
provides a steady flow of supply oil to the steering metering pump, while the hydraulic pump adjusts in order to meet the
new pressure demands and the new flow demands.

The check valve for the steering circuits is located in combination valve (1). When the pump pressure is less than the
stored accumulator pressure, the check valve prevents the stored oil from discharging downward through the steering
priority valve and the hydraulic and steering pump. The check valve holds the steering accumulator pressure at the inlet
of the steering metering pump. However, the steering accumulator will allow oil to discharge through the steering
metering pump when the pump is in the NEUTRAL position. With the engine in the OFF position, discharging the oil
from the steering accumulator takes ten to twelve minutes. To discharge the oil from the steering accumulator quickly,
rotate the steering wheel to the left and right several times. The stored oil is then used in the steering circuit.

(GG) Metering section

The steering metering pump is located in the operator's console group. The steering metering pump is made up of two
sections:

· Control section (FF)


· Metering section (GG)
These two sections are connected hydraulically inside the pump. The two sections are connected mechanically inside the
pump.

Oil from the steering accumulator flows from the combination valve through the inlet port from the combination valve
(6) into control section (FF). When the steering wheel is turned, the control section sends oil to metering section (GG).
The metered oil from metering section (GG) is then directed by control section (FF). The metered oil flows to the outlet
port to left steering cylinders (3) or to the outlet port to right steering cylinders (5). This oil is sent to the steering
cylinders in order to turn the machine.

Metering section (GG) is a small hydraulic pump. The metering section produces a specific amount of metered oil flow.
Then, the metered oil is directed by control section (FF). The metered oil flows to the outlet port to the left steering
cylinder or the right steering cylinder. As the steering wheel is rotated faster, there is an increase in the flow of oil. More
oil is sent to the steering cylinders. This will allow the cylinders to extend farther. This will allow the cylinders to move
faster. Inside inlet port (6) is a check valve. The check valve prevents steering wheel kickback that is caused by high
pressure spikes in the steering circuit.

Oil Flow
Control section (FF) of the steering metering pump is a closed center type. When the steering wheel is in the NEUTRAL
position, there is no alignment between the holes in outer sleeve (4) and the passages in inner spool (1). In this position,
a small amount of pump oil flows from the steering accumulator to load sensing signal port (14). Next, the oil flows
through an internal orifice to the hydraulic tank. This oil that flows to the hydraulic tank allows the steering accumulator
to maintain oil pressure to the steering metering unit in the NEUTRAL position. This keeps the steering metering unit
full and ready for a quick response to steering demands.

When the steering wheel is turned clockwise to make a right turn, inner spool (1), pin (12) and drive (11) start to rotate.
Outer sleeve (4) does not rotate at the same time because the diameter of the holes for pin (12) in outer sleeve (4) is

file://C:\SIS\TMP\sis1D41prt.html 7/22/2008

slightly larger than the diameter of pin (12). This allows inner spool (1) to rotate in outer sleeve (4). This aligns the holes
in outer sleeve (4) with the grooves in inner spool (1). The rotation from the NEUTRAL position of inner spool (1) and
outer sleeve (4) provide an oil path between the outlet port to right steering cylinders (5) and load sensing signal port
(14).

The pump oil from inlet port (6) flows through the holes in outer sleeve (4) into grooves in inner spool (1). The oil in the
grooves flows outward through the other holes in outer sleeve (4) and flows into passage (10). Oil flows through passage
(10) into metering section (GG). Then, the oil is directed into a space between stator (8) and rotor (9).

Rotor (9) is splined to drive (11). As drive (11) rotates, rotor (9) rotates and pumps oil out passage (7). The metered oil
flows through more holes in outer sleeve (4) into other grooves in inner spool (1). The metered oil continues out through
outer sleeve (4) into the outlet port to the right steering cylinders (5). Oil flows to the steering cylinders.

When the steering wheel is not used, the rotation of spool (1), pin (12), drive (11) and rotor (9) stops. The holes in outer
sleeve (4) do not line up with the grooves in inner spool (1). The oil flow from inlet port (6) stops. The flow of metered
oil to the outlet port to the right steering cylinders (5) stops. The oil that flows to the steering cylinders stops. When the
flow of oil is stopped, the wheels will stay in the fixed position.

When the steering wheel is turned counterclockwise the machine makes a left turn. The same components are used for
both the right turn and the left turn. For these sequences, the same components move in opposite direction. Oil still
comes back into the inlet port from combination valve (6). Inner spool (1) and outer sleeve (4) rotate in the opposite
direction. This allows a different set of holes to line up with a different set of grooves. The outlet port to the left steering
cylinders (3) is now open to the load sensing signal port (14).

Oil flows through inner spool (1) and through outer sleeve (4) into passage (7) and into metering section (GG). The
metered oil flows outward through passage (10). Then, the oil flows back through inner spool (1) and outer sleeve (4).
Then, the oil flows out of the outlet port to the left steering cylinders (3). From the outlet port to the left steering
cylinders (3), the oil flows to the steering cylinders.

The steering metering pump has a load sensing signal port (14) in addition to the four ports that have already been
described. The load sensing signal port connects internally by the rotation of inner spool (1) and outer sleeve (4) to the

file://C:\SIS\TMP\sis1D41prt.html 7/22/2008

orifice in outlet port (2). When this occurs, the steering metering pump is in the NEUTRAL position. Also, the load
sensing signal port connects internally to the outlet port (5) during a right turn and the outlet port (3) during a left turn.

When load sensing signal port (14) is connected to a turn port, the signal port senses the resistance pressure to rotation.
This resistance creates a specific signal pressure. This signal pressure originates from the signal relief valve that is in the
combination valve. The signal pressure plus the margin pressure will provide oil flow to the steering metering pump in
order to meet the steering demand. The signal pressure is also communicated to the signal resolver in the combination
valve. The signal resolver is compared to the implement signal pressure. The highest signal pressure is sent to the flow
compensator valve on the hydraulic pump in order to upstroke the pump. Upstroking the pump will meet the greater oil
demand.

Also, the steering metering pump has steering line relief valves with anticavitation valves. These anticavitation valves
will be set at approximately 22100 kPa (3200 psi). The steering relief valve is in the combination valve. The steering
relief valve will be set at approximately 17400 kPa (2525 psi).

Blade Cushion
SMCS Code: 5077; 6151

The blade cushion softens the shocks for the blade lift hydraulic circuit. Also, the blade cushion dampens the shocks for
the blade lift hydraulic circuit. When the blade contacts objects that can not be moved, the blade cushion softens the
shock and the blade cushion dampens the shock.

The blade cushion is activated by a switch on the right side of the operator on the shift console. This switch energizes the
check valve for the solenoid. Blade cushion accumulators have a nitrogen precharge of 2050 kPa (300 psi) that provides
the cushion. There is a manifold at the base of each accumulator. This manifold contains the oil passage to the
accumulator. The solenoid operated check valves are mounted to the manifolds. The solenoid operated check valves
regulate the flow of oil to the blade cushion accumulators.

Blade Cushion Deactivated


With the switch in the OFF position, the solenoids are de-energized. Oil pressure from the lines cannot pass through the
manifolds in order to enter the blade cushion accumulators. The cartridge assemblies in the manifolds contain one-way
check valves. This allows oil into the head of the blade lift cylinders. The one-way check valves prevent oil from flowing
back into the accumulators.

Blade Cushion Activated


With the switch in the ON position, the solenoids are energized. The cartridge assemblies are pulled back out of the
manifolds. There is now an open passage from the hydraulic circuit to the blade cushion accumulators.

When a shock occurs, oil pressure flows through the lines and the manifolds into blade cushion accumulators. The
accumulator cushions the force of the pressure oil in the hydraulic circuit. Once the shock has passed, pressure oil from
the accumulators re-enters the hydraulic circuit. Oil flows back into the head end of the blade lift cylinders. Then, the oil
positions the blade to the original position.

(6) Centershift lock switch

Centershift lock switch (6) is located on the console to the right of the operator's seat. The position of the centershift lock
switch (6) controls the solenoid valve (2). The solenoid valve (2) is used to engage centershift lock cylinder (5). The
solenoid valve (2) is used to disengage centershift lock cylinder (5). When centershift lock switch (6) is moved to the
DISENGAGED position, solenoid valve (2) redirects the power train oil from the transmission filter in order to
disengage the centershift lock pin. When the centershift lock pin is disengaged, the disengaged light on the instrument
panel will come on.

When centershift lock switch (6) is moved to the ENGAGED position, solenoid valve (2) allows the power train oil from
the transmission filter to engage the centershift lock pin. The machine is normally operated with the centershift lock pin
in the LOCK position. Since the centershift lock pin cannot be seen by the operator, centershift indicator (3) shows the
operator when the centershift lock pin is in alignment with the correct hole in arm assembly (4). Centershift indicator (3)
is located on the rear of the link bar.

The power train oil flows from the transmission filter to centershift lock cylinder (5). In the LOCK position, the power
train oil flows through centershift lock cylinder (5). This holds the centershift lock pin in the LOCK position.

Personal injury could result from the sudden movement of the


blade when the centershift lockpin is released.

Before releasing the centershift lockpin be sure that all


personnel are clear of the blade area, the circle and blade are
centered under the machine and the blade has been lowered to
the ground.

In order to move arm assembly (4) and the circle to another location, push the latch tab forward and move centershift
lock switch (6) to the DISENGAGE position. This will send a signal to solenoid valve (2). The centershift lock pin will
pull out of arm assembly (4). The centershift cylinder and the lift cylinders are then operated in order to move arm
assembly (4) and the circle to the desired location.

When the centershift lock pin is at the correct hole in arm assembly (4), centershift lock switch (6) is moved to the
ENGAGED position. When centershift lock switch (6) is moved to the ENGAGED position, solenoid valve (2) redirects
the power train oil from the transmission filter in order to push the centershift lock pin into arm assembly (4).

When centershift lock switch (6) is moved to the ENGAGED position, the pressurized power train oil will hold the
centershift lock pin in position in arm assembly (4).

Note: If the centershift lock indicator does not turn off, slightly move arm assembly (4) in order to align the hole with
the centershift lock pin.

When the engine start switch is in the OFF position, solenoid valve (2) is not energized. Therefore, the centershift lock
pin can only retract if the engine start switch is in the ON position.

Pump control valve (3) automatically keeps pump pressure and pump flow at a level that is needed to fulfill the system
load and the system flow needs. When none of the hydraulic implements and steering circuits are being used, the pump
is at low pressure standby. However, if one or more of the circuits are being used, a signal resolver valve compares the
signal pressure of the implement control valve and the steering signal pressure. The highest resolved signal pressure is
then routed to the pump control valve. Pump control valve (3) will then signal the pump to maintain flow and pressure
requirements. The margin pressure is approximately 2100 kPa (305 psi) higher than the signal pressure. The difference
between the pump signal and the pump output is called the margin pressure.

If low pressure standby is below 2660 kPa (380 psi) or above 4000 kPa (580 psi), the margin pressure should be
checked. If the margin pressure is out of the specification, adjust the margin pressure. Refer to the Testing and
Adjusting, "Pump Control Valve (Hydraulic, Steering) - Test and Adjust" section.

The pump control valve also has the ability to limit system pressure in order to prevent hydraulic overloads. If the
system pressure raises quickly, the pressure compensator will override the flow compensator. This will lower the output
flow of the pump. This action starts below the setting of the implement relief valve. This protects the hydraulic system
from damaging high pressures.

Adjustment Procedure for the Arm on the Articulation Position Sender


Before you perform the "Procedure for Adjusting the Articulation Position Sender", do this procedure first. When you
have installed the arm (4) correctly, the arm will have a normal range of motion without interference. The correct
position of the arm allows stem (3) to achieve a center position in the articulation position sender.

1. Install the frame lock pin.

2. Center the articulation of the machine in order to allow the frame lock pin to move freely in the frame.

3. Position arm (4) so that pin (10) is engaged with the arm, as shown.

4. Make sure that arm (4) is positioned against the flat spot of stem (3). Install the arm to the stem by tightening setscrew
(6) to the specified torque.

Procedure for Adjusting the Articulation Position Sender


If you performed "Adjustment Procedure for the Arm on the Articulation Position Sender" first, go to Step 3.

Accumulator (Steering) - Test and Charge


SMCS Code: 4331-045; 4331-081; 5077-045-ZH; 5077-081-ZH

Personal injury or death can result from improper accumulator


charging.

Dry nitrogen is the only gas approved for use in the


accumulator. Charging the accumulator with oxygen gas will
cause an explosion. This danger will not happen if nitrogen
cylinders with standard CGA Compressed Gas Association,
Inc.Number 580 connections are used.

When ordering nitrogen gas, be sure that the cylinders are


equipped with CGA Number 580 Connections. Do not use color
codes or other methods of identification to tell the difference
between nitrogen and oxygen cylinders.

Never use an adapter to connect your nitrogen charging group to


a valve outlet used on both nitrogen, oxygen or other gas
cylinders. Be sure you use dry nitrogen (99.8 % purity).

Sudden movement of the machine or release of oil under


pressure can cause serious injury to persons on or near the
machine.

To prevent possible injury, perform the procedure that follows


before testing and adjusting the hydraulic system.

(1) The allowable tolerance on nominal pressure is ±70 kPa (±10 psi).

Stop the engine. Turn the steering wheel to the left and to the right several times in order to relieve the steering
accumulator pressure. Make sure that the engine has not been operating for at least 10 minutes. This time period is long
enough to allow the hydraulic oil to flow out of the bottom chamber of the accumulator.

file://C:\SIS\TMP\sis3291prt.html 7/22/2008

The charging pressure of the 130-4926 Accumulator is 6890 ± 345 kPa (1000 ± 50 psi). The air temperature outside the
accumulator is the ambient temperature. Before the dry nitrogen pressure in the accumulator can be accurately checked,
the temperature of the accumulator must be equal to the ambient temperature. Before the accumulator may be correctly
charged, the temperature of the accumulator must be equal to the ambient temperature.

Use Table 13 in order to determine the correct charging pressure for the 130-4926 Accumulator when the accumulator is
at a given ambient temperature.

Checking the Dry Nitrogen Pressure in the Steering Accumulator


The dry nitrogen gas is contained in the end of the accumulator.

1. Install Pressure Gauge (2) into the quick disconnect on valve (7). Pressure gauge (2) is a 25000 kPa (3500 psi)
pressure gauge. This pressure gauge should be used in order to check the nitrogen pressure in the accumulator. Close
valve (7).

2. Install chuck (6) onto valve (9) on the top of the accumulator.

3. Turn valve (4) fully to the right. Measure the temperature of the air that is outside of the accumulator. This outside
temperature is the ambient temperature. When you check the 130-4926 Accumulator for the nitrogen charge pressure,
refer to Table 13. Locate this ambient temperature in the left column of the table. Read this row in order to determine the
correct charging pressure. The reading on pressure gauge (8) corresponds to the pressure of the dry nitrogen gas in the
accumulator. The nitrogen pressures for the accumulator must be within the tolerances.

4. Decrease the nitrogen pressure if the nitrogen pressure in the 130-4926 Accumulator is greater than the specified value
that is listed in Table 13. Decrease the nitrogen pressure by slowly opening valve (7).

5. Increase the nitrogen pressure if the nitrogen pressure in the 6E-3450 Accumulator is less than the specified value in
Table 13. Increase the nitrogen pressure to the specified level. Increase the nitrogen pressure according to "Charging the
Steering Accumulator".

Charging the Steering Accumulator

Dry nitrogen is the only gas approved for use in the


accumulator. Charging the accumulator with oxygen gas will
cause an explosion. This danger will not happen if nitrogen
cylinders with standard CGA (Compressed Gas Association,
Inc.) Number 580 connections are used. When you order
nitrogen gas, be sure that the cylinders are equipped with CGA
No. 580 Connections. Do not use color codes or other methods of
identification to tell the difference between nitrogen and oxygen
cylinders.

Increase the nitrogen pressure in the accumulator according to the following steps:

1. Connect the hose to regulator (3) on the nitrogen cylinder. Connect the other end of the hose to valve (7).

2. Close valve (7). Open the valve on the nitrogen cylinder. Adjust pressure regulating screw (1) on regulator assembly
(3). Adjust pressure regulating screw (1) until pressure gauge (2) is at the correct charging pressure. Use Table 13 to
determine the correct charge pressure for the 130-4926 Accumulator.

3. Open valve (7). Charge the accumulator. Close valve (7). Compare the reading on pressure gauge (2) with the reading
on pressure gauge (8). If these two readings are equal and if these two readings remain constant, the accumulator has
been correctly charged.

If there is a decrease in the reading on pressure gauge (8), open valve (7). Allow more of the dry nitrogen gas to flow
into the accumulator. Repeat Step 3 until pressure gauge (2) and pressure gauge (8) have the same reading. These two
readings do not change when valve (7) is closed.

4. Close valve (7). Close the valve on the nitrogen cylinder.

5. Turn valve (4) fully to the left.

6. Remove the charging equipment.

This test is designed to tell if a pump is operating within the design parameters.

For any pump test, the pump flow at 690 kPa (100 psi) will be larger than the pump flow at 6900 kPa (1000 psi) if the
pump is operating at the same rpm. The pump flow is measured in L/min (US gpm).

The difference between the pump flow of two operating pressures at the same rpm is the flow loss.

Test on the Machine


Install a hydraulic flow tester on the machine. Record the pump flow at 1000 rpm and 690 kPa (100 psi). Record the
pump flow at 1000 rpm and 6900 kPa (1000 psi). In order to calculate the flow loss, use the formula in Table 1. Run the

The combination valve and the pump control valve are accessible from the ground. The valves are located under the cab
platform and on the left side of the machine. These components are near the rear cab support.

1. Start the engine.

2. Operate the engine at low idle. Operate the implement controls for three to ten minutes in order to raise the hydraulic
oil temperature to normal operating temperature range.

3. Stop the engine.

4. Remove the dust cover from the combination valve. Install Tooling (A) into pressure test port (10).

Note: The blade lift control must be in the neutral position before engine start-up. Test equipment will be damaged if the
blade control valve is in the float position at engine start-up. If the machine is equipped with a hydraulic detent, the blade
control valve should move from the float position to the neutral position when the engine is shut off.

5. Check in order to ensure that the blade lift controls are in the neutral position.

6. Start the engine. Operate the engine at high idle. Record the pressure reading from the pressure gauge at the pressure
test port (10). The pressure should read 3300 ± 689 kPa (480 ± 100 psi). If the low pressure standby is too high, refer to
the Problem: Low standby pressure is too high within Testing and Adjusting, "Performance Checks".

7. Use Tool (B) to open purge valve (18) counterclockwise by one turn. A small amount of oil may leak by the purge
valve during this procedure.

Note: The number of control valves in the valve bank may vary with the different equipment that is on the machine.

1. Operate the engine at low idle.

2. Operate the implement controls for three minutes to ten minutes in order to raise the hydraulic oil temperature to the
normal operating temperature range.

3. Stop the engine. Remove the dust cover from pressure test port (10). Install Tooling (A) and Tool (D) onto pressure
test port (10).

4. Start the engine and operate the engine at high idle. The correct pressure reading should be 3300 ± 689 kPa (480 ± 100
psi).

5. If the pressure that is measured at pressure test port (10) is within the tolerance that is indicated in Step 4, proceed to
Step 6. If the pressure reading is not within the tolerance, adjust the pump low standby pressure. Refer to the procedure
that is found in the "Low Standby Pressure Adjustment" section. Then continue with Section "Adjustment for Signal
Network".

6. Stop the engine.

7. Do not remove Tool (D) from port (10).

8. In order to obtain pump signal pressure, install a second Tool (D) onto port (19). Connect Tool (D) onto Tooling (A).

9. Start the engine.

10. Move the control lever for blade tip (26) in order to stall the cylinder. Read the pressure gauges. The pressure gauge

file://C:\SIS\TMP\sis3811prt.html 7/22/2008

that is reading the pump signal should increase. The pressure gauge that is reading the pump output should increase.

11. If the pump signal pressure increases and the pump output pressure does not increase, the pump control valve on the
hydraulic and steering pump has failed. Stop the engine.

12. Replace the pump control valve.

13. Test the signal resolver (39) in the combination valve by following Step 14 and Step 15.

14. Start the engine and operate the engine at low idle.

15. If the steering is operable with at least one implement in operation, the signal resolver (39) in the combination valve
has failed. When the implement ceases to operate and the steering is not being operated, the signal resolver (39) in the
combination valve has failed.

16. Stop the engine. Remove the test equipment. Replace the dust cover.

17. In order to check for a faulty signal check ball or a missing signal check ball in the implement control valves, follow
Steps 18 through Step 23.

18. Start the engine and operate the engine at low idle. Check the implement cycle times.

19. If the cycle time for each of the implements is longer than the specifications that are allowed except for one
implement, the following information is true. The signal check ball in that implement control valve is faulty or the signal
check ball in that implement control valve is missing.

20. The signal from the right valve bank can be isolated from the signal from the left valve bank at the combination
valve. This will pinpoint the problem with the signal to the right valve bank or to the left valve bank.

21. If a blade lift cylinder drifts during the operation of another implement that is in the same valve bank, the signal
check ball in the blade lift cylinder is faulty. A missing signal check ball in any implement valves or a faulty signal
check ball in any implement valves may cause any one of the implements to be inoperative in that valve bank. The
implement that is working will be the implement valve that is missing a signal check ball or the implement valve that has
a faulty signal check ball in that implement valve.

22. Operate the circle drive. If a low flow circuit fails to operate during operation of the engine at low idle, refer to
Testing and Adjusting, "Performance Checks".

23. Stop the engine.

Conventional Duo-Cone Seals


Conventional Duo-Cone Seals, Assembly & Installation 7561-016 7561-012

This instruction gives the procedure for installing Conventional Duo-Cone Seals.

It is most important that correct assembly and installation procedures are followed when Duo-Cone Seals are used. Many
of the Duo-Cone Seal failures are the direct result of one or more mistakes made during assembly or installation of the
seal components.

(1) Seal (2) Rubber Toric Ring (3) Housing Retaining Lip (4) Housing Ramp (5) Seal Ring Housing

(6) Seal Ring Face (7) Seal Ring Ramp (8) Seal Ring Retaining Lip (9) Installation Tool.

file://C:\SIS\TMP\sis1461prt.html 7/23/2008
Copyright 1991, 2008 Caterpillar Inc. All Rights Reserved. Page 2 of 7

1. Remove any oil film, dust or other foreign matter from toric rubber rings (2) and from ramps (4) and (7) and lips (3)
and (8) of both seal rings (1) and housings (5). Use Trichloroethane and clean cloth or paper towels for wiping.

Never permit oil to get on the toric rings or ramps before both seal
rings are put together in their final assembled position (Step 10).

Avoid prolonged skin contact with Trichloroethane. Avoid


breathing the vapors in enclosed areas without adequate
ventilation and do not smoke. Do not use near open flame or
welding operations or other heated surfaces exceeding 482°C
(900°F).

file://C:\SIS\TMP\sis1461prt.html 7/23/2008
Copyright 1991, 2008 Caterpillar Inc. All Rights Reserved. Page 3 of 7

2. Put toric ring (2) on seal ring (1), at the bottom of seal ring ramp (7) and against retaining lip (8).

Make sure that toric ring (2) is straight on seal ring (1) and is not
twisted. Be careful when you work on the rubber toric ring. Nicks,
cuts and scratches can cause leaks.

3. Put installation Tool (9) on seal ring (1) with toric ring (2). Lower the rings in a container with Trichloroethane until
all surfaces of toric ring (2) are wet.

file://C:\SIS\TMP\sis1461prt.html 7/23/2008
Copyright 1991, 2008 Caterpillar Inc. All Rights Reserved. Page 4 of 7

Do not use Stanisol or any other liquid that leaves an oil film or
does not evaporate quickly.

4. With all surfaces of toric ring (2) wet, use installation Tool (9) to position seal ring (1) and toric ring (2) squarely
against housing (5) as shown. Use sudden and even pressure to pop (push) toric ring (2) under retaining lip (3) of
housing (5).

5. Check assembled height (A) in at least four places, 90 degrees apart. The difference in height around the ring must
not be more than 1 mm (.04 in).

file://C:\SIS\TMP\sis1461prt.html 7/23/2008
Copyright 1991, 2008 Caterpillar Inc. All Rights Reserved. Page 5 of 7

6. If small adjustments are necessary, do not push directly on seal ring (1); use installation Tool (9).

7. Toric ring (2) can twist if it is not wet all around during installation or if there are burrs or fins on retaining lip (3) of
housing (5).

Misalignment, twists and bulges of the toric ring will cause Duo-
Cone Seal failures. If correct installation is not obvious, remove seal
from housing and repeat Steps 3 through 6.

IMPORTANT: Toric rings (2) must never slip on the ramps of either seal rings (1) or seal ring housings (5). To prevent
slippage, wait a minimum of two minutes to let the Trichloroethane evaporate before further assembly. Once correctly in
place, the toric ring must roll on the ramps only.

file://C:\SIS\TMP\sis1461prt.html 7/23/2008
Copyright 1991, 2008 Caterpillar Inc. All Rights Reserved. Page 6 of 7

8. Wipe seal faces (6) of seal rings (1) clean. Use a lint free cloth or paper towel. No particles of any kind are permissible
on the sealing surfaces. Even a small piece from a paper towel can hold the seal faces apart and cause leakage.

9. Put a thin film of clean oil on the seal faces. Use an applicator, a disposable tissue or a clean finger to distribute the oil
evenly. Be careful not to get any oil on the rubber toric rings.

file://C:\SIS\TMP\sis1461prt.html 7/23/2008
Copyright 1991, 2008 Caterpillar Inc. All Rights Reserved. Page 7 of 7

10. Make sure both housings (5) are in correct alignment and are concentric. Move the parts slowly and carefully toward
each other.

Do not slam seals together. High impact can scratch or break the
seal components.

11. Once in place, fasten all parts tightly.

If the accumulator needs to be charged, dry nitrogen is the only


gas approved for use in the accumulators. The charging of
oxygen gas in these components by accident will cause an
explosion. This danger can be avoided by the use of nitrogen
cylinders with standard CGA (Compressed Gas Association Inc.)
No. 580 connections. Do not go by color codes or other methods
of identification to tell the difference between nitrogen and
oxygen cylinders. In any application, never use an adaptor to
connect your nitrogen charging group to a valve outlet used on
both nitrogen, oxygen or other gas cylinders. Be sure you use dry
nitrogen.

5. Charge the accumulators if necessary using a 9U-6740 Accumulator Charging Group.

Combination Valve
Remove Combination Valve 5064-011

At operating temperature, the hydraulic oil is hot and under


pressure. Hot oil can cause burns. Sudden movement of the
machine or release of oil pressure can cause injury to persons on
or near the machine. To prevent possible injury, perform the
following procedure before working on the hydraulic and
steering systems.

a. Move the machine to a smooth horizontal location. Move away from working machines and personnel. Lower all
implements to the ground. Install the wheel lean pin in front axle.

b. Permit only one operator on the machine. Keep all other personnel either away from the machine or in view of the
operator.

c. Activate the parking brake. Place all implements on the ground and put the blade in the "FLOAT" position.

d. Stop the engine.

e. Turn the steering wheel back and forth several times to relieve pressure in the steering accumulator.

f. Carefully loosen the filler cap on the hydraulic tank to release pressure in the tank.

g. Be sure all hydraulic pressure is released before any fitting, hose, or component is loosened, tightened, removed or
adjusted.

h. Tighten the cap on the hydraulic tank.

i. The pressure in the hydraulic system must be released before lines or components can be removed.

Hydraulic pressure can exist in the hydraulic lines between the

Machine Preparation for Troubleshooting


SMCS Code: 4300-035; 5050-035

Personal injury or death can result from sudden machine


movement.

Sudden movement of the machine or release of oil under


pressure can cause injury to persons on or near the machine.

To help prevent possible injury, perform the procedure that


follows before testing and adjusting the hydraulic and steering
system:

Check valves in the hydraulic system may allow pressure to exist


in the hydraulic lines after the engine has been stopped. Pressure
must be relieved prior to servicing the components of the
hydraulic system. Failure to relieve pressure prior to servicing
may result in personal injury.

1. Move the machine to a smooth horizontal location. Move away from operating machines and move away from all
personnel. Lower all implements to the ground. If equipped, place the control lever for the blade lift control valve in the
FLOAT position.

2. Install the wheel lean locking bolt in the front axle. Install the frame lock pin. Engage the parking brake and stop the
engine.

3. Permit only one operator on the machine. Keep all other personnel away from the machine. Also, all personnel should
be visible to the operator.

Visual Inspection
SMCS Code: 4300-035; 5050-035

Always use a board or cardboard when checking for a leak.


Escaping fluid under pressure, even a pin hole leak, can
penetrate body tissue, causing serious injury and possible death.
If fluid is injected into your skin, it must be treated immediately
by a doctor familiar with this type of injury.

When you identify a problem, visually inspect the hydraulic system, the steering system and the different components.
Stop the engine and lower the implements to the ground. To remove the hydraulic tank filler cap, slowly turn the filler
cap until the cap is loose. If the hydraulic oil starts to splash up onto the hydraulic tank, allow the tank pressure to
decrease before you remove the filler cap. Move the sideshift cylinder to the right in order to reduce pressure in the
hydraulic tank. Also, move the sideshift cylinder to the right in order to reduce the oil level in the hydraulic tank. Make
the following inspections:

1. Trace all of the hydraulic implement lines from the implement connections to the valve connections. Check the
following components for damage and check the following components for leaks:

· All of the hydraulic implement lines


· All of the connections on the components
2. Trace all of the hydraulic fan drive lines from the hydraulic fan pump to the hydraulic fan motor. Check the following
components for damage and check the following components for leaks:

· All of the hydraulic fan drive lines


· The hydraulic fan pump
· The hydraulic fan motor
· All of the connections on the components

file://C:\SIS\TMP\sis5991prt.html 7/23/2008
Copyright 1991, 2008 Caterpillar Inc. All Rights Reserved. Page 2 of 2

3. Check the control valves for leaks.

4. Check the following components for damage and check the following components for leaks:

· The hydraulic and steering pump


· The connections on the components
5. Trace the lines from the hydraulic and steering pump to the hydraulic tank. Also, trace the lines from the hydraulic and
steering pump to the valves. Check the following components for damage and check the following components for leaks:

· The lines from the hydraulic and steering pump to the hydraulic tank
· The lines from the hydraulic and steering pump to the valves
· The hydraulic tank
· The connections on the components
6. Check the hydraulic tank oil level.

7. Immediately after the machine has stopped, use a clean, clear bottle or use a clean, clear container in order to obtain an
oil sample from the hydraulic tank. Check for air bubbles in the oil sample.

8. Remove the filter element and the strainer. Check for particles that have been removed from the oil by the filter
element. A magnet will separate ferrous particles from nonferrous particles. Ferrous materials such as piston rings
contain iron. If necessary, replace the filter and clean the strainer.

Operational Checks
SMCS Code: 4300-035; 5050-035

The operation checks can be used to find leakage in the system. Also, the operation checks can be used to find a failed
valve or a failed hydraulic and steering pump.

The oil in the hydraulic system must be at an operating temperature of 46 to 52°C (115 to 125°F).

Extend the implement cylinders and retract the implement cylinders several times. Allow the implement cylinders to
travel full stroke in each direction.

1. Watch the cylinder as the cylinder is extended and retracted. The movement of the cylinder must be smooth and
regular.

2. Listen to the hydraulic and steering pump for noise.

3. Move each control valve into the HOLD position while the implement is off the ground. Watch for cylinder rod drift.
If the cylinder moves more than 19.0 mm (0.75 inch) in 60 minutes, then the cylinder drift is excessive.

Implement cylinder drift is caused by oil leakage past cylinder piston seals, by line relief valves or by a leaking lock
valve in the implement control valve.

Problem

The response of the implements is too fast.

Probable Cause

· An incorrect control stem is installed in the implement control valve.


· The implement control valve has failed.
· The margin pressure is set too high.
Problem

The hydraulic and steering pump does not return to the low standby pressure after the implement is used.

Probable Cause

· The control lever has interference. The control lever does not return to the HOLD position. The signal pressure
is still sent to the pressure and flow compensator valve.

· The signal purge valve has malfunctioned in the CLOSED position.


· The steering signal from the steering metering unit is greater than 690 kPa (100 psi). The signal port of the

file://C:\SIS\TMP\sis5AF1prt.html 7/23/2008

steering metering pump is contaminated. Replace the steering priority valve. Replace the steering metering pump.

· The hydraulic and steering pump has failed or the pressure and flow compensator valve has failed.
Problem

When you steer the machine, the implements slow down or the implements stop.

Probable Cause

· The low standby pressure of the hydraulic and steering pump is set low. Refer to the Testing and Adjusting,
"Low Pressure Standby - Test and Adjust" section in this manual.

· The steering priority valve has failed.


· The hydraulic and steering pump has insufficient flow.

(27) The solenoid valve for the air horn is an attachment on the standard machines.

The brake system is actuated by direct air. There is a brake that is located at each rear wheel. Air compressor (5) sends
air pressure to air tank (9). This air is sent through two check valves (6) for the air tank. Air can only flow in one
direction through the check valves. The air tank is divided into two separate sections. Each section of the air tank has a
relief valve (8) and a drain plug (7).

Air pressure flows from air control valve (11) for the service brake in order to activate the brakes. The brakes are
activated by independent circuits. The independent circuits are for the right side of the machine and the left side of the
machine. The air tank can provide enough air pressure in order to actuate the brakes five times after the engine stops and
the air compressor stops. In case an air line fails or a circuit fails, one section of the air tank will still have air pressure.
The air pressure will be used to engage the brakes on one tandem drive.

Air Control Valve (Parking Brake)


SMCS Code: 4282; 5506-PJ

The location of the parking brake control valve is in the console to the right of the operator's seat. The parking brake is a
function of the transmission direction and speed control (lever).

Illustration 19

Parking Brake Control Valve

(1) Piston

(2) Stem

(3) Chamfer on stem

(4) Spring

(5) Supply port

(6) Exhaust port

(7) Delivery port

The flow of air is through the parking brake check valve to supply port (5). When the lever is moved out of PARKING
BRAKE ENGAGED position to the NEUTRAL position, piston (1) moves in the parking brake control valve. The
piston forces down stem (2) in order to open a passage from supply port (5) to delivery port (7). Chamfer (3) closes the
opening from delivery port (7) to exhaust port (6). Air pressure then releases the parking brake.

Air from the air control valve for the service brakes flows through the check valve for the parking brake. When lever (4)
is depressed and the lever is moved backward, pressure air flows through the air control valve for the parking brake.

Then, air flows through a junction block and into parking brake (1) at air inlet (2), which is on the transmission flange.
This disengages the parking brake.

The parking brake consists of several components. Hub (8) is connected to transmission output shaft (10) and discs (9)
are splined to hub (8). Plates (5) are held stationary by dowels (7), which are inserted into transmission cover (15) and
into brake housing (6). Brake housing (6) is bolted to transmission cover (15). Piston (11) provides a passage for the

file://C:\SIS\TMP\sis2161prt.html 7/22/2008
Copyright 1991, 2008 Caterpillar Inc. All Rights Reserved. Page 4 of 4

necessary flow of air to air chamber (14) in order to activate piston (12). This releases the parking brake when lever (4)
is moved from the PARKING BRAKE ENGAGED position. Springs (13) provide clamping force across the brake pack
in order to engage the parking brake when air chamber (14) is depressurized.

When lever (4) is in the PARKING BRAKE ENGAGED position, air pressure is not available to air chamber (14).
Springs (13) force piston (12) so that the piston contacts plates (5) and discs (9). Piston (12) forces plates (5) and discs
(9) against transmission cover (15). Springs (13) generate enough force in order to create sufficient friction between
plates (5) and discs (9) so that discs (9) stop spinning. Since discs (9) are splined to hub (8) and the hub is connected to
transmission output shaft (10), the transmission output shaft does not turn. When lever (4) is in the PARKING BRAKE
ENGAGED position or air chamber (14) is depressurized, the machine cannot move.

When the machine is stopped and lever (4) is pushed into the PARKING BRAKE ENGAGED position, the transmission
remains in the NEUTRAL position.

When lever (4) is in the NEUTRAL position, in any of the FORWARD positions, or in any of the REVERSE positions,
the parking brake is in the OFF position and air is pressurized within air chamber (14). Pressurized air then forces piston
(12) against springs (13). The clamping force across the brake pack is eliminated. Discs (9) are allowed to rotate freely
with hub (8) and with transmission output shaft (10).

Do not engage the parking brake while the machine is moving


unless the primary service brake fails. The use of the parking brake
as a service brake in regular operation will cause severe damage to
the parking brake system.

Application of the Right Brakes


When the service brake control (pedal) is depressed, plunger (1) applies force on spring seat (3), on rubber spring (4),
and on piston (5). Seat (6) seats on inlet and exhaust valve (9) and exhaust passage (7) closes. Air pressure from supply
port (11) flows out of delivery port (10) and to the service brakes for the right side of the machine.

Note: Only a small amount of pedal movement and a small amount of air are needed in order to move relay piston (12).
Therefore, the service brakes for the left side of the machine are applied almost at the same time as the service brakes for
the right side of the machine.

file://C:\SIS\TMP\sis2211prt.html 7/22/2008
Copyright 1991, 2008 Caterpillar Inc. All Rights Reserved. Page 3 of 4

Application of the Left Brakes


When inlet and exhaust valve (9) is moved off seat (8), exhaust seat (14) seats on inlet and exhaust valve (20) and
exhaust passage (15) closes. Inlet and exhaust valve (20) is moved off seat (19) so that air pressure from supply port (17)
flows out of delivery port (18) and to the service brakes for the left side of the machine.

Releasing the Brakes


When the pedal is released, mechanical force is removed from spring seat (3), from rubber spring (4), and from piston
(5). Air pressure and spring force move piston (5), which moves relay piston (12) by way of screw (2). Seat (6) is moved
away from inlet and exhaust valve (9). Inlet and exhaust valve (9) contacts seat (8). Air pressure in the air lines that flow
to the service brakes for the right side of the machine flows through the center of inlet and exhaust valve (9) and out of
exhaust port (21). The service brakes for the right side of the machine are released. At the same time, exhaust seat (14)
moves away from inlet and exhaust valve (20). The inlet and exhaust valve contacts seat (19). Exhaust passage (15) is
closed in order to stop the flow of air from supply port (17) to delivery port (18). Air pressure in the air lines that flow to
the service brakes for the left side of the machine flows through the center of inlet and exhaust valve (20) and out of
exhaust port (21). The service brakes for the left side of the machine are released.

Loss of Brakes for the Left Side


If air pressure in the brake circuit for the left side is lost, the brake circuit for the right side will still provide air pressure
to the brakes on the right side.

Loss of Brakes for the Right Side


If air pressure in the brake circuit for the right side is lost, the service brakes on the left side of the machine can still be
applied. If the pedal is depressed and there is no air pressure at supply port (11) and at delivery port (10), the service
brakes for the right side of the machine will not function. Piston (5) will mechanically move relay piston (12) in order to
close inlet and exhaust valve (20). This allows air pressure from supply port (17) to flow out of delivery port (18) and to
the service brakes for the left side of the machine.

Balancing the Right Side Brakes


When the air pressure at delivery port (10) is identical to the mechanical force of the pedal, piston (5) will move and
inlet and exhaust valve (9) will close. This stops the flow of air from supply port (11). Inlet and exhaust valve (20) will
stay closed and air pressure will not be allowed to flow out of exhaust port (21).

Balancing the Left Side Brakes


When the air pressure under relay piston (12) is near the air pressure on the top of relay piston (12), relay piston (12)
moves in order to close exhaust passage (15). This stops the flow of air from supply port (17) to delivery port (18).
Exhaust port (21) will stay closed as the air pressure for the service brakes on the left side becomes identical to the air
pressure for the service brakes on the right side.

During gradual brake applications, a balance position is reached in the valve section for the service brakes on the right
side when the air pressure at delivery port (10) is identical to the pressure of the operator's foot on the pedal. A balance
position is reached in the valve section for the brakes on the left side when the air pressure under relay piston (12)

file://C:\SIS\TMP\sis2211prt.html 7/22/2008
Copyright 1991, 2008 Caterpillar Inc. All Rights Reserved. Page 4 of 4

approaches the air pressure on the top of relay piston (12).

When the pedal is depressed all the way, inlet and exhaust valves (9) and (20) are open and full air pressure from the air
tank flows to the service brakes on both sides of the machine.

(1) Air compressor governor. (2) Air compressor.

Note: Orientation of the air compressor governor will depend on your specific engine arrangement.

The engine operates air compressor (2) through the timing gears. The air compressor governor (1) controls the air
pressure for the system.

The air compressor governor keeps the air pressure constant in the system. When the engine is started, the air
compressor operates until the pressure in the system is at the cutout setting of 965 ± 34 kPa (140 ± 5 psi). At this cutout
setting, the air pressure moves the piston in the air compressor governor. This allows the air to flow through the air
compressor governor. Then, the air flows to the unloading valves in the air compressor. Air pressure holds the unloading
valves open in order to stop the flow of air from the air compressor.

The pressure air from the left section of the air tank provides the signal to the air compressor governor. When the system
air pressure reaches the minimum cut in setting of 793 kPa (115 psi), the force of the spring in the air compressor
governor moves the piston in the air compressor governor. This action stops the flow of air to the unloading valve. The
unloading valves close and the air compressor again sends air pressure to the system.

Air dryer (7) is used to remove the moisture, the carbon, and the oil from the compressed air before the air gets to air
tank (2). The clean, dry air is very important for safe operation and safe performance of the brake system that uses
compressed air. The clean, dry air will also prevent corrosion of parts.

Air dryer (7) is installed in a vertical position. The air dryer is in the air system between the air compressor (5) and the
air tank (2).

With the use of the air dryer, you must drain the air tank daily. The cartridge of the air dryer can be removed and

replaced as a unit. The different parts of the cartridge can be removed and replaced separately.

During cold weather, the heating element in the air dryer keeps moisture from freezing in the bottom of the air dryer
housing.

The monitoring system consists of an action alarm and a monitoring panel with individual alert indicators for each
machine system. The monitoring system provides three warning categories. The first warning category requires only
operator awareness. The second warning category needs operator response. The third warning category requires
immediate shutdown of the machine systems.

The alert indicator (3) for brake air pressure is a Warning Category 3. A low brake air pressure switch (5) is located on
one side of the service brake control valve. The other low brake air pressure switch (6) is located on the other side of the
service brake control valve. These switches are connected to the control of the monitoring system. The electronic circuit
within the control of the monitoring system makes all the decisions. The control of the monitoring system activates the
action alarm and the alert indicator for the brake air pressure. If either circuit of the air system fails, the appropriate low
brake air pressure switch will open at approximately 530 kPa (77 psi). This opens the circuit in order to signal the control
of the monitoring system. This is a Warning Category 3. This indicates low air pressure to the brakes. The operator must
stop the machine immediately. Engage the parking brake and stop the engine. The operator can look at the air pressure
gauges (2) on the instrument panel in order to determine the circuit that has failed. Do not operate the machine until the
cause has been corrected.

Note: The action alarm is located in the console to the right of the operator's seat.

The last circuit is for the stop lights. Stop lights air pressure switch (7) is between the service brake control valve and
one of the air lines that connects to the brakes. When the service brake control (pedal) is depressed, the stop lights air
pressure switch closes. This completes a circuit in order to operate the stop lights.

Each circuit is connected to the battery through a separate fuse in the fuse box.

spindle (14).

There is one disc type brake in each wheel spindle housing (3). The four disc type brakes are used for the service brake
system. The brakes are cooled through the oil in tandem housing (2). The service brakes are activated by air pressure
from the air control valve for the service brakes. There is a Duo-Cone seal (13) that is located between the wheel spindle

When you depress the service brake control (pedal), a rod actuates air control valve (17) for the service brakes. Then, the
air control valve for the service brakes will send part of the air pressure from the sections of the air tank to the service
brakes. The position of the pedal regulates the amount of air pressure to the brakes.

Air pressure flows through air inlet port (1) into air compartment (12). Air then moves air piston (9) against stationary
discs (8) and revolving discs (10). The air piston pushes the discs against cover (7). As the air pressure increases, air
piston (9) is forced against the discs. This will cause friction between the discs. As the friction becomes greater,
revolving discs (10), brake hub (6) and wheel spindle (14) will start to slow down, since stationary discs (8) and wheel
spindle housing (3) cannot turn. The brakes are in the BRAKE ON position, but the brakes are not fully engaged.

If the operator continues to depress the pedal downward, the air pressure will increase in air compartment (12). The
friction between discs will then become great enough to stop revolving discs (10), brake hub (6) and wheel spindle (14).
Air pressure is held in the brakes in order to keep the brakes in the BRAKE ON position.

When the operator releases the pedal, the air pressure in the air compartment (12) is released through air inlet port (1) to
the service brake control valve (17). Then, springs (11) force air piston (9) back to the BRAKE OFF position. Revolving
discs (10) are again free to turn between stationary discs (8).

There is a plug at the bottom of the wheel spindle housing (3). This plug can be removed in order to check the wear of
the friction discs. The wear of the friction disc can be checked by observing the piston travel with a 5P-7389 Transparent
Plug Assembly.

Before you inspect the brake pack for wear, refer to Testing and Adjusting, "Brake Disc Wear - Check". The information
is in this manual.

Operation Checks
SMCS Code: 4250-035

Operation Checks of the air system and of the brakes can be used to find the source of leakage in the system. Also, the
Operation Checks can make a diagnosis of bad performance.

Sudden movement of the machine or release of air under


pressure can cause injury to persons on or near the machine. To
prevent possible injury, perform the procedure that follows
before testing and adjusting the air system and brakes.

Leakage Checks
Note: You can hear the sound of air leakage. Air leakage can be seen when soapy water is applied to connections, valves
and hoses.

1. Start the engine and allow the air pressure to reach the maximum pressure. Stop the engine.

2. Check the air control valve for the parking brake in the console to the right of the operator's seat.

3. Check air lines and fittings at the junction blocks. The junction blocks are located at the top of the tandem housings.

4. Check all the valves on the air tank.

5. Check for leakage in the hoses and the connections from the air compressor and the air compressor governor to the air
tank.

6. Check for leakage in hoses, lines, connections, and components from the air tank to the air control valve for the
service brake.

7. Check for leakage in the air control valve for the service brake.

8. Depress the service brake control (pedal) and hold the service brake control (pedal) down. Check for leakage in hoses,
in air lines and in connections from the air control valve for the service brake to the service brakes. Release the pedal.

9. Push down and pull back on the transmission direction and speed control (lever) to the NEUTRAL position. Check for
leakage in the hose and in the connections from the air control valve for the parking brake to the parking brake.

Note: If the air pressure in the air tank lowers to the cut-in pressure, start the engine and operate the engine. When the air
pressure reaches the maximum pressure, stop the engine.

Note: When you check the control valves for leakage, check the exhaust passages for any restrictions such as mud or
dirt. Restrictions in an exhaust passage of the control valves may prevent the release of air pressure during normal
operation. Also, restrictions may slow the release of air pressure during normal operation.

Performance Checks
If the Performance Checks indicate that the air pressure is not available at the air supply passage of the air control valve
for the service brake, loosen the connection at the air supply passage. Use soapy water to check for leaking air pressure.

If the Performance Checks indicate leakage through the air control valve for the service brake, disconnect the delivery
hose at the end opposite the delivery passage. Place the end of the hose in a pan of water to check for leakage.

Service Brake Control Valve - Check


SMCS Code: 4265-535

A change in the braking characteristics or a low pressure


warning may be an indication of a failure in one of the brake
circuits. Personal injury or death may occur if the machine is
operated before repairs have been made or before all circuits
have been checked. Always check the brakes after brake repairs
have been made and before the machine is put back into use.

Use two 8T-0849 Pressure Gauge Group in order to check the delivery pressure for the service brakes on both sides of
the machine. Connect the gauges to delivery ports (4) and (6).

Apply the air control valve for the service brakes and release the air control valve for the service brakes several times.
Check the delivery pressure on the test pressure gauges in order to verify that the air pressure changes. The air pressure
should be the same amount for both the left service brakes and the right service brakes when the pedal is moved.

Apply the service brakes fully. Release the service brakes. Immediately after releasing the service brakes, the reading on
the test pressure gauges should read 0 kPa (0 psi).

When the air pressure in each section of the air tank is identical, the delivery air pressure should be within 35 kPa (5 psi)
of each test pressure gauge. This is normal for this service brake control valve.

Note: If the machine is equipped with the European Roading Arrangement, then the air pressure gauge is measuring the
difference between the delivery air pressure of the tank under the machine frame and the tank behind the cab.

Remove the pressure gauge groups and install hoses to ports (4) and (6).

Check the Service Brake Control Valve for Leakage


Keep the air pressure at 795 to 965 kPa (115 to 140 psi) while you apply the service brakes and hold. Apply a mixture of
soap and water on exhaust port (8). Permissible leakage is a 25.0 mm (1.00 inch) bubble in three seconds. If the leakage
is more than a 25.0 mm (1.00 inch) bubble in three seconds, repair the service brake control valve. After the repair has
been made retest the service brake control valve.

The acceptable dimensions for each brake disc and each friction disc are shown in the table which follows. The table
lists the dimensions that indicate when a brake pack is worn and/or a brake pack needs inspection. The table also lists the
dimensions that are needed for the replacement of parts.

Check each friction disc for possible damage. Also, check for burned friction material. If only one surface of the friction
disc is worn, the grooves must be at least 0.127 mm (.0050 inch) deep. During brake installation, place the thicker
friction disc in the middle of the pack because wear is faster there.

42-MT Starting Motor

The heavy-duty starting motors are offered in 24Vand 12V versions. The 37-MT and 41-MT are similar in operation and
appearance. The significant differences between the 37-MT, 41-MT, and 42-MT starting motors are noted. A list of
starting motors that are covered in this manual is located in the Specifications section.

The starting motor rotates the engine flywheel. The engine will run when the engine flywheel has reached an adequate
speed. The starting motor has a solenoid. Electricity will cause the solenoid to move the pinion drive toward the flywheel
ring gear of the engine when the key start switch is activated on the 37-MT and 41-MT starting motors. The electrical
contacts in the solenoid close the circuit between the battery and the starting motor before the pinion engages the ring
gear. This will cause the starting motor to rotate. This is a positive shift starting motor. Electricity will cause the solenoid
to move the pinion drive in order to engage the flywheel ring gear of the engine when the key start switch is activated on
the 42-MT starting motors. The electrical contacts in the solenoid close the circuit between the battery and the starting
motor. This causes the starting motor to rotate. This is a positive engagement starting motor.

Damage to the armature can be caused by excessive speeds. The overrunning clutch portion of the pinion drive prevents
damage to the armature when the engine begins to run. This is done by breaking the mechanical connection. The pinion
will stay meshed with the ring gear however, until the key start switch is released. A return spring in the overrunning
clutch returns the clutch assembly to the rest position.

(11) Field Winding (Coil)

(13) Starting Motor Housing

The starting motor housing (13) supports the field winding (coil) (11), the pole shoes (10), the brush holder (9), and the
brushes (8). These parts are removable. The field winding (11) and the pole shoes (10) provide the magnetic field for the
armature. The field winding also contains a shunt coil on 37-MT starting motors. The armature rotational speed is
limited by the shunt coil during engagement. This prevents damage to the pinion drive.

Illustration 10

Armature

(12) Armature

Armature (12) consists of a laminated iron core which is assembled on the armature shaft. The armature also has a
commutator on one end. The commutator is made of copper segments (bars) insulated from each other and insulated
from the armature shaft. The armature windings are wound in the slots of the core. The armature windings are also
connected to the commutator segments.

The armature is positioned in the field winding and the pole shoes. The armature is supported by the brushings in the
drive housing (6), the shift lever housing (4), and the rear housing (1).

The armature and the field winding are connected in series. The same current flows through each component. This
generates high torque primarily when the motor is first started.

(14) Brush Springs

The brush holder (9) is mounted over the commutator to the starting motor housing. Four brushes are held against the
commutator. Brush springs (14) keep pressure on the brushes so the brushes stay in contact with the commutator. Two
brush holders are connected to the field winding positive (+) leads. The two negative brush holders are not insulated
from the brush holder assembly onthe 37-MT and 41-MT starting motors. The two negative brush holders are connected
to the negative terminal on the 42-MT starting motors.

Illustration 12

Brushes

(8) Brush

The brushes (8) are made of carbon. The brushes (8) conduct electricity. The brushes transmit current from the field
winding to the commutator. There are four brushes. Two brushes are positive and two brushes are negative.

(15) Pinion Gear

As the engine starts to run, the speed eventually exceeds the starting motor speed. The overrunning clutch portion of the
pinion drive (7) protects the starting motor from this overspeed condition. The mechanical connection between the
engine flywheel and the starting motor is disengaged.

The pinion drive (7) has a pinion gear (15) that engages the flywheel ring gear. The pinion gear will stop in case of butt
engagement on the 37-MT starting motors. The pinion drive spring is compressed by the shift lever until the solenoid
contacts meet the solenoid terminals as a result. The starting motor is now turned on. The starting motor turns the pinion
until the pinion meshes with the ring gear. The pinion gear will stop in case of butt engagement on the 41-MT and 42-
MT starting motors. The clutch assembly continues to rotate. This rotation will allow the pinion gear to rotate and the
pinion gear will engage onto the flywheel ring gear.

Solenoid assembly (2) contains the following components: windings (16), plunger (3) and solenoid contacts (17). When
the key start switch is closed, the pull-in winding and the hold-in winding are energized. The energized windings (16)
will pull the plunger (3) to the left. The plunger movement pulls the shift lever assembly (5) which will allow the pinion
to engage. When the solenoid contacts (17) close, full battery current is sent to the motor and the engine begins to crank.

When the engine starts, the pinion drive protects the armature from excessive speed until the key start switch is released.
After the switch is released, the return spring (18) moves shift lever (5) to the right which will disengage the pinion.

A DC series wound motor is used as the starting motor. The starting motor has field winding (11) and armature (14). The
excitation and armature windings are connected in series. The pinion end of the armature shaft has splines for pinion
drive (12).

The solenoid is an integral part of the starting motor. The solenoid pushes the pinion drive (12) with the pinion (13)
forward through the shift lever (10) and the plunger. The end of the plunger is a spool which is connected to the shift
lever. Return spring (1) helps return pinion drive (12) and shift lever (10) to the rest position after key start switch (7) is
released and solenoid contacts (8) have been opened. A semi-solid link mechanism prevents welding of the solenoid
contacts.

The starting motor has a two-stage mechanical pinion drive (12) that protects armature (14) from an overspeed condition.
The pinion drive also allows a smooth engagement of pinion (13) into the flywheel ring gear. The pinion drive is held on
the splines of the armature shaft. The pinion drive is connected to the pinion (13) through the teeth of the integral
overrunning clutch. Shift lever (10) moves the pinion drive (12) axially in the direction of the ring gear.

When the key start switch (7) is closed, the following components are energized: start (S)terminal (4), pull-in winding
(3) and hold-in winding (5). The solenoid plunger pulls the shift lever (10) against the force of the spring (1). The shift
lever pushes the pinion drive (12) toward the engine flywheel. The armature (14) has not yet turned. The solenoid
contacts (8) have not closed. This sends starting motor current to the excitation windings and the armature windings. If
the pinion (13) can immediately engage the flywheel ring gear, the pinion moves forward. When the pinion reaches the
end of the drive pinion shaft and the solenoid contacts (8) close. The starting motor is now in partial engagement.

If a pinion tooth meets a ring gear tooth, the pinion cannot immediately mesh with the ring gear. The solenoid contacts
(8) close as the meshing spring is compressed through the shift lever (10). The starting motor is now turned on. The
operation turns the pinion (13). The pinion initially meshes with the teeth of the ring gear. The pressure from the
meshing spring causes the pinion (13) to fully mesh. The pressure from the meshing spring causes the ring gear to fully
mesh.

At the end of solenoid armature travel, solenoid contacts (8) close. This allows full battery voltage to be applied to
battery (Bat) terminal (6) and motor (Mtr) terminal (9). The starting motor current energizes the field winding (11). The
starting motor current powers the starting motor. Armature (14) now begins to rotate and the helical spline forces the
pinion farther into the ring gear until the pinion contacts the stop ring of the armature shaft.

The pull-in winding (3) is turned off when the starting circuit is closed. Hold-in winding (5) remains energized. The
hold-in winding magnetic force is enough to hold the solenoid plunger in the pull-in position until the engine is started.

When the engine starts and the ring gear turns pinion (13) faster than the starting motor, the clutch section of the pinion
drive (12) breaks the connection between the pinion and the armature shaft. This prevents damage to the armature from
being rotated too fast. The pinion remains meshed with the ring gear while the shift lever (10) is held in the engaged
position. The shift lever assembly and pinion drive are returned to the rest position by the return spring (1) only when the
key start switch is released. The return spring also keeps the pinion in the rest position until the starting motor is again
operated.

When the key start switch (7) is closed, the following components are energized: start terminal (4), pull-in winding (3)

The magnetic force will pull the plunger to the right. The plunger will pull the shift lever (10) which will compress the
return spring (1). The shift lever will push the pinion assembly along the armature shaft toward the flywheel ring gear.

The pinion gear (13) may meet a tooth of the flywheel ring gear as the pinion gear tries to move forward. The other drive
components will continue to be pushed forward. The helical spline of the overrunning clutch portion of the pinion drive
assembly (12) rotates the pinion gear in the cranking direction. The spring of the pinion drive assembly is being
compressed. The pinion tooth will slide past the tooth on the flywheel ring gear until the next gap is found. The pinion
gear will then engage onto the flywheel due to the pressure that is built up in the compressed spring. At the same time,
the overrunning clutch rotates in the overspeed direction.

The pinion gear may also meet a damaged ring gear tooth or a notched ring gear tooth. While the pinion drive assembly
(12) is being pushed forward, the armature assembly (14) is being rotated in the opposite direction. This is due to the
helical spline. The spring of the pinion drive assembly is also becoming compressed. Due to the forces that are being
applied to the drive components onto the damaged tooth, the starting motor current may not have force enough to turn
the armature. The starting attempt must be stopped. When the key start switch is released, the pinion drive assembly will
release the compression of the spring. This will cause the pinion gear to rotate. The pinion gear is now ready to mesh
with the flywheel ring gear. The starting attempt can now be retried.

When the pinion gear (13) meshes completely with the flywheel ring gear, solenoid contacts (8) close. Full battery
voltage is then applied to the battery terminal "Bat" (6) and the motor terminal "Mtr"(9). Starting motor current will then
energize the field winding (11) and the armature (14). The pull-in winding (3) will become de-energized. The hold-in
winding (5) will still have enough force to hold in the plunger assembly until the solenoid contacts (8) are open. The
starting motor starts to crank the engine with full torque.

As soon as the engine starts, the flywheel ring gear turns the pinion gear (13) faster than the starting motor's normal
speed. The overrunning clutch breaks the mechanical connection between the two gears. The pinion gear turns on the
helical spline which will compress the spring in the pinion drive assembly. The pinion gear will then be pulled from the
flywheel gear. Flyweights also help to break the mechanical connection between the two gears. This process must take
place in order to prevent the starting motor from being rotated at speeds higher than maximum permissible speed. When
the key start switch (7) is released, the shift lever assembly and pinion drive assembly will return to the rest position. The
solenoid contacts open and the starting motor turns off. The rotating armature is quickly stopped by a mechanical brake
disc.

Alternator 7N-9720 Alternator Gp (35 amperes), 9G-9538 Alternator Gp (50 amperes) and 100-5046 Alternator Gp (50
amperes)

The N3 series alternator is a brushless, electromechanical component that converts mechanical energy into electrical
energy. The alternator charges the battery. The alternator also supplies power for the machine's electrical systems during
engine operation.

The alternator has a full-wave rectified output that is three-phase. There are two different output versions that are rated at
35 and 50 amperes.

The alternator is divided into a front frame and an end frame. The following stationary parts are located inside the two
frames: stator, field winding, rectifier and regulator. Stationary parts are bolted to the frames. The rotor is the only
moving part in the alternator. The rotor is mounted by ball bearings or by roller bearings.

A belt (not shown) provides the mechanical energy for the alternator. The belt is attached to the shaft of the rotor. The
belt is used to turn the rotor which also rotates the fan. Air is drawn through baffles in the rear cover. Air exits from the
front frame behind the fan.

The rotor (29) consists of a shaft and a magnetic core. The rotor rotates on the shaft. The rotor provides a magnetic field
between the field winding and the stator.

When the current flows in the field winding, the core is magnetized. One side becomes the "N" pole. The other side
becomes the "S" pole. With this form (pawl pole), both poles are magnetized by one field winding. The "N" pole and the
"S" pole are separated by a nonmagnetic ring (30).

Normal Operation
SMCS Code: 1405

The field winding uses DC voltage to create a magnetic field. The magnetic field is used to magnetize the rotor. The
stator is a stationary component that surrounds the rotor. When the rotor rotates voltage is produced. The stator will then
send the voltage to the rectifier. The rectifier changes the AC voltage into DC voltage. Part of the DC voltage returns to
the field winding in order to maintain the magnetic field. The remainder of the DC voltage is supplied to the battery.
Electrical components on the machine will then receive the voltage from the battery. The regulator limits the DC voltage
at the battery terminals to 28 ± 1 volts by controlling the current in the field winding.

Illustrations 3 and 4 show the electrical schematics for the N3 series alternators.

The alternator has two circuits: the charging circuit and the excitation circuit. The charging circuit functions during
normal operation. The excitation circuit functions during normal operation and during start-up. An independent circuit
exists for each phase of the stator. Phases are noted as "U", "V", and "W". The 50 amp alternator has two extra diodes.
Diodes are connected to the neutral point of the stator. Diodes also add extra current to the output. However, the 35
ampere alternator lacks the extra diodes.

The descriptions that follow show the N3 series alternator (35 ampere).

Charging Circuit

The charging circuit supplies current to the battery and to the electrical systems during normal operation. Stator windings
in the alternator generate three-phase AC voltage. Positive diodes and the negative diodes change the AC voltage into
DC voltage. DC voltage allows the current to flow to the battery terminals.

· Positive at the output of winding "V"

Excitation Circuit (Normal)

The N3 series alternator is self-excited. The excitation circuit supplies current to the field winding (exciter) during
normal operation. The rotor contains an iron core that acts as a rotating magnet. The rotating magnetic field induces
voltages in the stator windings. Stator windings generate three-phase AC voltage. Exciter diodes and negative diodes
change the AC voltage into DC voltage. DC voltage allows current to flow in the field winding. The current induces a
stationary magnetic field in the field winding that will keep the rotor core magnetized. This process continues as the
rotor operates normally.

Illustration 7

Excitation circuit with phase angle of 120°

The flow of current at a 120° phase angle is shown in Illustration 7. The polarity for the stator winding is described

· Negative at the output of winding "W"


Excitation Circuit (Start-up)

The exciter diodes and the negative diodes change the AC voltage into a uniform DC voltage. Stator windings generate
three-phase AC voltage.

The excitation circuit also supplies current to the field winding (exciter) during start-up. N3 series alternators depend on
the residual magnetism in the rotor core in order to achieve normal operation. Once the rotor begins to move, the residual
magnetism induces a weak voltage in the stator windings. The voltages cause a small amount of current to flow through
the excitation circuit. The current then produces a stationary magnetic field in the field winding. The stationary magnetic
field strengthens the magnetism in the rotor core, and the voltage in the stator windings increases. The effect is
cumulative. The regulator controls the output voltage by varying the current in the field winding (exciter).

The alternator functions normally when the excitation circuit produces the breakdown voltage of two diodes in series.

The rotor generates the breakdown voltage by 2000 rpm. When the rotor reaches 2000 rpm, the alternator generates an
output.

Regulator Operation
N3 series alternators charge the battery. N3 series alternators will also supply the power for the electrical system. In
order to prevent overcharging the battery or damaging the systems, the voltage regulator keeps the output voltage at a
constant level. The regulator maintains the voltage regardless of variations in load or variations in rotor speed.

The alternator output voltage is directly related to the exciting current. For example, increasing the exciting current
increases the output voltage. By controlling the exciting current, the regulator compensates for variations in load. As a
result, the terminal voltage remains constant up to the maximum current output.

The alternator is regulated by periodically increasing and decreasing the exciting current. If the output of the alternator is
below 29 volts, the exciting current rises and the voltage rises. If the voltage exceeds 29 volts, the regulator turns off the
exciting current. The drop in current reduces the output voltage. When the voltage drops below the specified lower limit
of 27 volts, the regulator turns on the exciting current. The rise in current increases output voltage to 29 volts. The cycle
will then repeat. The cycles are repeated quickly in order for the voltage to remain constant at the desired level.

The alternator output voltage is directly related to rotor speed for a given electrical load. For example, increasing the
rotor speed increases the output voltage. By controlling the exciting current, the regulator compensates for variations in
rotor speed. At low speeds, a higher average exciting current results. At high speeds, a lower average exciting current
results.

Illustration 8 shows the connection between the solid state regulator and the alternator. The regulator is totally enclosed
and nonadjustable.

General Information
SMCS Code: 1405

The alternator is an electronic component that is belt driven. The alternator is used to charge the storage battery during
engine operation. The alternators that are covered by this manual are inside cooled. Air is drawn through baffles. The
baffles are located in the rear cover. The air exits from the drive end frame behind the fan.

The alternator converts a combination of mechanical energy and magnetic energy to alternating current and voltage. This
is done by rotating a direct current electromagnetic field on the inside of a three-phase stator. The alternating current and
voltage are generated by the stator. The current and the voltage are changed to direct current by a three-phase full wave
rectifier. The rectifier uses six silicon rectifier diodes.

The 26-SI is a self-rectifying alternator. The 26-SI is also a brushless unit. The voltage regulator is built in the alternator.
The only movable part in the assembly is the rotor. The rotor is mounted on a ball bearing at the drive end. The rotor is
mounted on a roller bearing at the end with the rectifier. The conductors that carry current are stationary. These
conductors are in the field winding, the stator windings, the six rectifying diodes, and the regulator circuit components.
The regulator and diodes are enclosed in a sealed compartment.

The voltage regulator limits the voltage that is produced by the alternator at the output terminal. This is done by
controlling the magnetic field that is present in the stationary field. The voltage allows current to flow in order to satisfy
the electrical loads that are placed on the system.

An internal sense lead is used in order to control voltage. The lead is installed between the diode trio and the regulator.

Some of the 26-SI alternators use a .25 inch threaded stud as an output terminal. With this type of terminal, the exposed
metal parts are not insulated. The exposed metal parts will have battery voltage when the parts are connected to the
battery.

An "R" terminal is located on the side of the alternator. The "R" terminal is on the opposite side from the output
terminal. This terminal may be used to operate the one of the following components:

· A Charge Indicator
· A Tachometer
· An Hour Meter
· A Similar Device
The component is provided voltage pulses at a frequency of 8 pulses for each revolution of the alternator. The "R"
terminal's components must not draw more than 4 amperes.

The alternator's case is grounded. However, do not operate the unit without an external path to ground. A screw and a
lockwasher are installed in a .25 inch threaded hole. The hole is located in the housing by the rectifier. The hole is
between the output terminal and the "R" terminal. The "R" terminal is provided in order to connect a ground lead if a
ground lead is used. Otherwise, the ground path is through the mounting hardware and brackets to the engine. A paper
tag is located on a replacement. The tag identifies the "GROUND SCREW". Remove the tag and discard the tag. The
screw and the lockwasher should be installed in the housing. This is done in order to prevent the entry of dirt and water.

The rotor provides a magnetic field. The rotor rotates on a shaft. Therefore, this alternator is called a rotary magnetic
field alternator. A rotor consists mainly of the following parts: pole core (magnetic pole), field coil and shaft.

The rotor contains the field coil. When current flows in the field coil, one side of the core is magnetized. This side
becomes the "N" pole. The other side becomes the "S" pole. With this form (pawl pole), all poles are magnetized by one
field coil.

Stator

Illustration 9

The stator consists of a stator core and stator coil. The stator is supported by the front and rear frames of the alternator.
The stator core is made of a number of thin iron plates. The stator has many slots on the inner surface. The slots
accommodate the stator coil. Three independent coils are provided. The coils generate AC voltage during rotation of the
rotor. A hydraulic press is used to insert the stator into the front frame. This arrangement allows heat to easily dissipate
through the frame. Cooling efficiency is increased.

Pulley
These alternators are usually equipped with a pulley with two slots. Tighten the pulley nut to 102 ± 7 N·m (75 ± 5 lb ft).

Frame
The frame supports the stator and the rotor. The frame also provides mounting points in order to mount the alternator on
the engine. Holes for ventilation are provided on all sides of the frame for efficient cooling. The rectifier, and the
regulator are fastened to the rear end frame by screws. The stator is pressed into the front end frame.

The rectifier is a one-piece design. The rectifier changes the three-phase AC into direct current.

Regulator

Illustration 11

The regulator controls the output of the alternator. The regulator limits the alternator voltage to a preset value by
controlling the field current. The regulator operates electronically in order to turn on the voltage across the field winding.
The regulator then switches off the voltage. The switching can occur at a low rate such as 10 times in one second. The
switching can occur at a high rate such as several thousand times in one second.

26-SI Alternator Schematic

The 26-SI series alternator is a brushless, heavy-duty integral charging system. The alternator has a built-in diode
rectifier and a voltage regulator. The system produces DC current for electrical systems.

The solid state integrated circuit voltage regulator that is built into the 26-SI alternator limits the system voltage by
switching the ground circuit for the rotor field on and off. When the ground circuit is on, field current passes from a

file://C:\SIS\TMP\sis2C01prt.html 7/22/2008

diode trio through the stationary field coil. Nominal regulated voltages of 13.5 to 14.5 volts are available for 12 volt
systems. The nominal regulated voltage for the 24 volt system is between 27.0 and 29.0 volts.

As the alternator begins operating, the regulator detects battery voltage that is applied to the ignition terminal. The initial
exciting current then flows through the rotor coil. When the ignition switch is turned ON the regulator turns on and off.
This occurs intermittently in order to reduce battery discharge. Current is kept to a minimum of approximately 0.17
amperes.

The voltage regulator turns ON the field current and the voltage regulator turns OFF the current many times in one
second in order to keep the voltage at a preset level.

For 12 volt systems, an output rating of 85 amperes is standard. For 24 volt systems, output ratings of 50 or 75 amperes
are available. The output ratings of a specific 26-SI model are located in Specification, "Alternator".

The 26-SI alternator is designed for a one-wire charging system configuration. One wire refers to the minimum number
of connections that are necessary at the alternator for operation. The output of the alternator must be connected to the
positive terminal of the battery. A ground path is also required. The ground path should run between the alternator
housing and the ground terminal for the battery.

The initial voltages at start-up are generated by residual magnetism in the rotor. As the speed increases and the output
increases, the voltage that is available at the diode trio becomes sufficient to supply field current for normal operation.
When output voltage exceeds battery voltage, the alternator begins to drive the system voltage. The residual magnetism
can be lost. This results in no output. Loss of the residual magnetism can be caused by extended downtime or a severe
shock to the alternator. Refer to Troubleshooting, "T6 Residual Magnetism Restoration".

While the system voltage is below the setting of the voltage regulator, the regulator turns on the field current. This
allows the alternator to produce the maximum output. When the voltage setting is reached, the regulator turns off the
field current. When the field current is off, the magnetic field in the rotor collapses and the alternator output voltage
begins to fall. The falling voltage causes the regulator to turn on the field current and the current rebuilds the magnetic
field. This cycle continues rapidly. The cycle keeps the output and the system voltage very close to the voltage setting.
The cycle will continue unless the electrical demands of the system cause the system voltage to fall below the voltage
setting. If the system voltage falls below the voltage setting, the regulator will allow full field current to flow so that the
alternator's maximum output is realized.

output terminal is a female type. The connecting bolt is insulated. The cable for charging has a special connector. When
the connection is installed, the electrical connection is sealed from moisture. No voltage exists at the exposed parts. The
head of the connector bolt is normally stamped "NO VOLTS" in order to indicate the insulated type.

All of the electronic parts of the alternator are sealed in a compartment in order to keep out the moisture and the dirt.

No Load Test Results


The following information provides some results of a no-load test and the possible problems.

1. A rated current draw at a no-load speed indicates a normal starting motor.

2. A low free speed and a high current draw indicates:

a. An increase in friction could be caused by tight bearings, dirty bearings, or worn bearings. A bent armature or
loose field pole shoes that would allow the armature to drag are possible causes of increased friction.

b. A shorted armature could cause a high current draw. This can be checked on a growler tester after disassembly.

c. A grounded armature or a grounded field winding could cause a high current draw. Check for grounds after
disassembly.

file://C:\SIS\TMP\sis4521prt.html 7/22/2008
Copyright 1991, 2008 Caterpillar Inc. All Rights Reserved. Page 3 of 3

3. Failure to operate with a high current draw indicates:

a. A direct ground in the terminal or field windings.

b. The bearings cease to operate properly. This can be seen by turning the armature by hand.

4. Failure to operate with no current draw indicates:

a. An open field circuit will cause a failure. The system can be checked for an open field circuit with a multimeter
after disassembly.

b. An open armature will cause a failure. Inspect the commutator for badly burned bars.

c. Broken brush springs, worn brushes or high insulation between the commutator bars could prevent good contact
between the brushes and the commutator.

5. A low no-load speed and a low current draw indicates:

a. An internal resistance that is high is possibly caused by poor connections, leads that are faulty, a commutator
that is dirty, and/or causes that are listed in step 4.

6. A high free speed and a high current draw indicates:

a. A shorted field circuit will cause a failure. Check the field winding for shorts after disassembly.

(X) Pinion clearance

When the solenoid is installed, make an adjustment of the pinion clearance. The adjustment should be made with the
starting motor removed.

1. Disconnect the starting motor negative wire from the "G" ground terminal of the solenoid.

2. Connect the batteries to the solenoid per Illustration 48. The Illustration shows a 24 volt system with two 12 volt
batteries that are connected in series to a starting motor. Connect four 8 volt batteries in series for a 32 volt system.
Connect eight 8 volt batteries in series for a 64 volt system. Connect the positive side of the battery cable to the "S"
terminal of the starting motor solenoid. Connect the negative side of the battery cable to the "G" terminal of the starting
motor.

3. Temporarily, touch a wire from the "G" terminal to the "MTR" terminal. The pinion will shift to the crank position
and the pinion will stay there until the battery is disconnected.

4. Push the pinion toward the commutator in order to remove free movement.

5. Measure the clearance (X) from the pinion to the pinion drive housing. Pinion clearance (X) must be 9.10 ± 0.8 mm
(0.36 ± 0.03 inch).

6. If the clearance is not correct, remove the plug on the shift lever housing (2). Turn the adjustment nut (1) until the

file://C:\SIS\TMP\sis4681prt.html 7/22/2008

clearance is correct. Turning the nut clockwise will decrease the clearance (X).

Note: The plunger may turn when the adjustment nut (1) is being turned. If the plunger turns, disconnect the battery
from the solenoid. Remove the solenoid from the starting motor. Hold the plunger from turning and adjust the nut (1).
This procedure may need to be performed several times until the correct clearance is obtained.

7. Disconnect the batteries and install the plug into the shift lever housing.

1. Ensure that the batteries are NOT fully charged.

a. Fully charged batteries have open circuit voltage above 12.5 volts on 12 volt systems or 25 volts on 24 volt
systems.

b. If the batteries are fully charged then crank the engine for 30 seconds. This action reduces the battery voltage.
Operate the lights for 10 minutes while the engine is off as an alternative.

2. Connect the 9U-5795 Current Probe or 8T-0900 Ammeter to a DMM (digital multimeter). The multimeter must have
a peak hold feature. Clamp the probe around alternator output wire "B+". Before you clamp the probe around the wire,
ensure that the probe is "zeroed".

3. Set the digital multimeter to "peak hold" or "max mode" on the "mV" scale.

4. Turn on all electrical accessories: lights, air conditioning and radio.

5. Start the machine, and immediately set the throttle to at least 75%. The peak current will appear on the voltmeter in
"peak hold" or "max" mode.

Expected Result : This current reading should be at least 90% of the specified peak output.

Results :

· OK - The current is at least 90%. For 85 amp alternators, the current should be over 76 amperes. For 75 amp
alternators, the current should be over 67 amperes. For 50 amp alternators, the current should be over 45 amperes. Go to
Testing and Adjusting, "T2 Electrical System Current - Test".

· NOT OK - The current is less than 90%. Go to Testing and Adjusting, "T4 Alternator Drive System - Check".

Note: Severely discharged batteries can cause low system voltage. This can occur even while the engine is running
above idle, and the alternator is working properly. Proper low engine idle is also important. The alternator is self-excited.
Self-excited alternators must exceed a turn-on speed before charging will begin. Alternator output can be very low at
idle.

General Information
SMCS Code: 1405

Often when problems with the charging system are being investigated, the alternator is not the problem. If a low battery
condition is present, test the batteries first. See Special Instruction, SEHS7633, "Battery Test Procedure" for more
information. If the engine cranks slowly, then test the starting system. See Service Magazine, SEPD0020, "Testing The
Starter On The Engine" for more information. If a warning indicator for the charging system is ON, see Service
Magazine, SEBD1751, "Difference Between Alternator Indicator In Electronic Monitoring System (EMS) And Low
Voltage Indicator In Operating Monitoring System (OMS)". When a problem with the charging system is suspected,
then complete the testing that is outlined in this Special Instruction.

See Troubleshooting, "Initial Troubleshooting Procedure" in order to begin troubleshooting. These procedures are
designed to guide you to the problem with as little testing as possible. In most cases, you will only use a few of the tests
to diagnose a problem. The tests are labelled as T1 - T8 for easy reference. A descriptive title for each test is included as
well.

Component - Test
SMCS Code: 1405-081

Stator
Check the resistance that is between each of the phases. Measure the resistance between the end of each lead wire and
neutral point. The resistance should be less than 1 ohm.

Measure the insulation resistance between the core and the coil. Use the 142-5055 Insulation Tester Group. Set the
insulation tester at 500V. The resistance should be more than 100000 ohms. When there is no continuity, check the lead
wire connection. Disconnection of the stator coil is unlikely.

Rectifier Diodes

Illustration 13

Use the "Check Diode" function of the multimeter.

1. Place one of the meter leads on heat sink (1).

2. Connect the other meter lead to each of the diode leads (2).

3. Record the meter readings.

4. Reverse the meter leads.

5. Place the meter lead that was connected to the diode leads during 8 on heat sink (1).

6. Connect the other meter lead to each of the diode leads (2).

7. Record the meter readings.

The diode is functioning properly when the leads are connected one way and the multimeter shows "0L". Then, the
multimeter shows approximately .5 volts when the lead connections are reversed.

file://C:\SIS\TMP\sis52E1prt.html 7/22/2008
Copyright 1991, 2008 Caterpillar Inc. All Rights Reserved. Page 2 of 3

The diode is shorted when the leads are connected one way and the multimeter shows "00". Then, the multimeter shows
"00" when the lead connections are reversed.

The diode is open when the leads are connected one way and the multimeter shows "0L". Then, the multimeter shows
"0L" when the lead connections are reversed.

Regulator
The test for the regulator does not cover all of the possible failures. The test verifies a few common problems.

Illustration 14

The regulator controls the output of the alternator. The regulator limits the alternator voltage to a preset value by
controlling the field current. The regulator operates electronically in order to turn on the voltage across the field winding.
The regulator then switches off the voltage. The switching can occur at a low rate such as 10 times in one second. The
switching can occur at a high rate such as several thousand times in one second.

The voltage should not vary more than 0.3 volts during the procedure. The test measures the voltage when the regulator
changes the state of the field current. This test will determine problems in the following components: Diode Trio, Field
Coil and Regulator.

Illustration 15

file://C:\SIS\TMP\sis52E1prt.html 7/22/2008

1. Connect a variable power supply and two multimeters to the alternator. The setup is shown in illustration 15.

2. Adjust the variable power supply until multimeter (A) indicates a current draw.

3. Measure the voltage. This voltage is the "Turn On" voltage. Record your results.

When the alternator is operating correctly, the voltage is 14.0 ±0.3 volts for a 12 volt system and 27.4 ±0.6 volts for a 24
volt system. If the voltage is out of specifications, replace the regulator.

4. Multimeter (A) reads the field current. When the alternator is operating correctly, the field current is 5.7 to 7.1
amperes for a 12 volt system and 2.5 to 3.8 amperes for a 24 volt system.

If the amperage is 0, the field coil is open or the regulator is open. If the amperage is high, the field coil is shorted.

5. Divide the voltage from 3 by the field coil resistance. Refer to Specifications, "Alternator" for the field coil resistance
of your alternator.

6. Adjust the variable power supply to the "Turn On" voltage. The "Turn On" voltage was measured in 2.

7. Adjust the voltage until multimeter (A) reads 0 amperes. Record your results. This is the "Turn Off" voltage.

8. Subtract the "Turn On" voltage from the "Turn Off" voltage. The difference should not be greater than 0.3 volts. A
difference that is larger than 0.3 volts indicates a regulator malfunction.

The following troubleshooting procedures are intended to help the technician find the cause of the starting motor

malfunction, use Testing and Adjusting, "No Load - Test". On machines that are equipped with a diagnostic connector,
use the 6V-2150 Starting/Charging Analyzer in order to diagnose common problems. The Special Instruction,
SEHS7768, "Using the 6V-2150 Starting/Charging Analyzer Group" is provided with the analyzer.

All starting systems are made up of four elements:

· Start switch
· Start relay
· Starting motor solenoid
· Starting motor
Note: On some small engines, the start relay may not be required. In this case, the start switch powers the starting motor
solenoid directly.

Start switches are relatively low current devices. These switches are rated for 5 to 20 Amperes. Because the coil of a
start relay draws about 1 Ampere, the start switch can easily turn on the start relay. The coil of a start relay is between
test points (1) and (2) on Illustration 23.

The switch contacts of a typical start relay are rated for 100 to 300 Amperes. Because a starter solenoid requires 5 to 50
Amperes, the start relay can easily switch this load.

The starting motor solenoid is a high current switch that is rated at about 1000 Amperes. The starting motor solenoid
engages the pinion with the flywheel and turns on the starting motor. The starting motor solenoid has two coils:

· Pull-in coil (W)


· Hold-in coil (X)
Pull-in coil (W) draws about 40 Amperes. Hold-in coil (X) requires about 5 Amperes. When the start relay closes, both
coils receive power. Battery voltage is applied to the high end of both coils at test point (3) which is the start terminal
(S). The low end of hold-in coil is permanently grounded to the ground post of the starting motor. Grounding for the low
end of pull-in coil (test point (4)) is momentary. Grounding takes place through the DC resistance of the starting motor.
When the magnetic force builds up in both coils, the pinion moves toward the flywheel ring gear. On 37-MT models, the
pinion will stop short of engagement. On 41-MT and 42-MT models, the pinion will engage the flywheel ring gear.
Then, the solenoid contacts will close in order to power the starting motor. Closing the contacts will temporarily remove
the ground from the pull-in coil. The battery voltage will be applied to both ends of the pull-in coil while the motor
cranks. During this period, the pull-in coil is out of the circuit. Cranking continues until the start switch is released.

The above switches and relays permit a 5 Amp dash-mounted switch to turn on a 500 to 1000 Amp motor that is used to
crank an engine.

Often when problems with the charging system are being investigated, the alternator is not the problem. If a low battery
condition is present, test the batteries first. See Special Instruction, SEHS7633, "Battery Test Procedure" for more
information. If the engine cranks slowly, then test the starting system. See Service Magazine, SEPD0020, "Testing The
Starter On The Engine" for more information. If a warning indicator for the charging system is ON, see Service
Magazine, SEBD1751, "Difference Between Alternator Indicator In Electronic Monitoring System (EMS) And Low

Note: Severely discharged batteries can cause a low system voltage. This condition can occur even when the alternator is
working properly. This condition can also occur while the engine is running above idle. Proper low engine idle is
important. Alternator output can be very low at idle.

Note: The alternator is self-excited. Self-excited alternators must exceed a turn-on speed before charging will begin.

Test Step 1. CHECK THE SYSTEM VOLTAGE.

A. Before you start the machine, connect a voltmeter between the "B+" terminal and the case of the alternator. Turn OFF
all electrical loads.

B. Turn the key to the ON position but do not start the engine. Read the voltage on the voltmeter. Make a note of the
voltage that was measured.

Expected Result:

This voltage should be approximately system voltage.

Results:

· YES - The voltage is approximately system voltage. Proceed to test step 2.


· NO - The voltage is less than system voltage. Proceed to test step 4.
Test Step 2. CHECK THE OPERATION OF THE ALTERNATOR.

Note: For test instructions refer to the indicated diagnosticprocedure for your productFor the proper output voltage, refer
to Specification, "Alternator".

A. The voltmeter remains connected between the "B+" terminal and the case of the alternator.

B. Start the machine. Set the throttle to at least 75 percent. Read the voltage on the voltmeter. Make a note of the voltage
that was measured.

Expected Result:

The voltage measurement is greater than the voltage that was recorded in the previous test step "Check The System
Voltage".

Results:

· VOLTAGE HIGHER - The voltage measurement is greater than the voltage that was observed in the previous test step
"Check The System Voltage". The voltage is also less than the maximum voltage that is listed in the specifications for
the alternator. The alternator is partially charging the battery. Proceed to test step 3.

· VOLTAGE TOO HIGH - The voltage measurement is greater than the voltage that was observed in the previous test

file://C:\SIS\TMP\sis6E41prt.html 7/23/2008

Test Step 16. TEST FOR AN OVERCHARGING CONDITION FROM THE ALTERNATOR.

A. Verify that the nut on the "B+" alternator terminal is tight. Also, verify that the wire has a good connection to the
"B+" terminal.

B. Many Caterpillar machines are equipped with a connector for the 6V-2150 Starting/Charging Analyzer. Use of this
tester replaces the remainder of this test step. To operate the analyzer, refer to Tool Operating Manual, SEHS7768,
"Using the 6V-2150".

C. Start the engine and set the throttle to at least 75 percent. Turn ON all electrical accessories for the remainder of this
test step. Allow the engine to run for at least 3 minutes before continuing.

D. Measure the voltage between the "B+" terminal of the alternator and the case of the alternator. Make a note of the
voltage that was measured. Perform the next measurement immediately.

E. Measure the voltage across the battery. Put the red lead on the positive terminal of the battery, and put the black lead
on the negative terminal of the battery. Make a note of the voltage that was measured.

Expected Result:

The voltage at the battery should be less than the voltage at the alternator. On systems that are 12 volt, the difference in
voltages should not be more than 1 volt. On systems that are 24 volt, the difference should not be more than 2 volts.

Results:

· YES - The voltage at the battery is less than the voltage at the alternator. Also, the difference in voltages is less than 1
volt for 12 volt systems and the difference is less than 2 volts for 24 volt systems. The wiring that is related to the
alternator is correct at this time.

Repair:

For test instructions refer to the indicated diagnosticprocedure for your productThere is an internal problem with the
alternator. Replace the alternator or proceed to Systems Operation, "Component Description". Use the descriptions of the
components in order to determine the component that has failed. Proceed to the appropriate component test. STOP.

· NO - The voltage at the battery is less than the voltage at the alternator. However, the difference in voltages is greater
than 1 volt for 12 volt systems and the difference is greater than 2 volts for 24 volt systems. Proceed to test step 17.

Test Step 17. TEST THE POSITIVE SIDE OF THE CHARGING CIRCUIT.

A. Measure the voltage between the frame of the machine and the "B+" terminal of the alternator. Make a note of the
voltage that was measured. Perform the next measurement immediately.

B. Measure the voltage between the frame of the machine and the positive terminal of the battery. Make a note of the
voltage that was measured.

Expected Result:

The voltage difference does not exceed 1 volt on 24 volt systems or 0.5 volts on 12 volt systems.

Results:

· YES - The voltage difference does not exceed the tolerance. The positive circuit is good.
Repair:

For test instructions refer to the indicated diagnosticprocedure for your productThere is an internal problem with the
alternator. Replace the alternator or proceed to Systems Operation, "Component Description". Use the descriptions of the
components in order to determine the component that has failed. Proceed to the appropriate component test. STOP.

· NO - The voltage difference exceeds the tolerance.


Repair:

There is high resistance in the positive side of the charging circuit that is caused by one of the following conditions:

· An electrical connection has loosened.


· An electrical connection has corroded.
· The main relay has failed.
· A circuit breaker has failed.
Correct the problem. Exit this procedure and retest the alternator charging system. STOP.

Constant Torque Hose Clamps


Use a constant torque hose clamp in place of any worm drive band type clamp. Ensure that the constant torque hose
clamp is the same size as the worm drive band type clamp. Due to extreme temperature changes, the hose will heat set.
Heat setting can cause worm drive band type clamps to loosen. Loose hose clamps can result in leaks. There have been
reports of component failures that have been caused by worm drive band type clamps that have loosened. The constant
torque hose clamp will help prevent these failures.

Illustration 23

(1) Constant Torque Hose Clamp (Belleville Washer)

(2) Constant Torque Hose Clamp (Tee bolt and Spring)

Use a torque wrench for proper installation of all constant torque hose clamps. There are two types of constant torque
hose clamps:Belleville washer (1) and Tee bolt and spring (2)

When the constant torque hose clamp (belleville washer) (1) is assembled correctly, the belleville washers (1A) are
nearly collapsed flat. The proper torque for screw (1B) is based on the diameter (B) of the clamp. Refer to the following
table for the correct torque.

Table 24

Diameter (B) Standard Torque


Up to 50.8 mm (2 inch) 7.5 ± 0.5 N·m (65 ± 5 lb in)
Greater than 50.8 mm (2 inch) 11 ± 1 N·m (95 ± 10 lb in)

The correct torque for the constant torque hose clamp (tee bolt and spring) (2) is 7 ± 1 N·m (60 ± 10 lb in).

General Information
SMCS Code: 7553

Mismatched or incorrect fasteners can result in damage or


malfunction, or personal injury.

Take care to avoid mixing metric dimensioned fasteners and


inch dimensioned fasteners.

Exceptions to these torques are given in the Service Manual, if necessary.

Torque wrenches must be used properly in order to ensure that the correct torque is applied. Always use a smooth pull
for torque wrenches. Do not jerk a torque wrench. For the correct use of your torque wrench, refer to the instructions that
were packaged with your torque wrench. For more information on the correct use of torque wrenches, refer to Special
Publication, SEBV0516, "An Introduction to Torque".

Be sure to use a torque wrench that has the proper range. Torque values are given in the following units:NEWTON
meters (N·m), pound feet (lb ft) and pound inches (lb in)

Prior to installation of any hardware, ensure that components are in near new condition. Bolts and threads must not be
worn or damaged. Threads must not have burrs or nicks. Hardware must be free of rust and corrosion. Clean reused
fasteners with a noncorrosive cleaner. Lightly lubricate the threads of reused fasteners. Lightly lubricate the mating
surface of the head of reused fasteners. Other applications for lubricating fasteners may also be specified in the Service
Manual. The Service Manual may also specify the use of sealants and compounds.

Installation of Fittings
SMCS Code: 7553

Note: The tightening sequence of the fasteners that attach a tube assembly or hose assembly to the machine is very
critical to the proper function of the machine. The sealing surfaces of the tube assembly or hose assembly should be
secured squarely. The sealing surfaces of the tube assembly or hose assembly should be tightened to the serviced
component (control valve, cylinder, hydraulic motor, etc). Perform this procedure prior to the final tightening of any
clamps or clips that are used in order to fasten the tube assembly or the hose assembly to the machine.

Fittings have different connections. Fittings may have two completely different ends. Be sure to use the proper torque for
the end of the fitting that is used. The following list contains some common types of fittings.

· Straight Thread O-Ring (STOR)


· Adjustable Straight Thread O-Ring (STOR)
· O-Ring Face Seal (ORFS)
· Tapered Pipe Thread (NPT and NPTF)
· 37 Degree Flare Fitting
· 45 Degree Flare Fitting
· 45 Degree Inverted Flare Fitting
· Split Flange Coupling
Installation of Split Flange Couplings
1. For a metal tube to hose installation, install the tube and tighten all bolts finger tight at the rigid end.

2. Install the hose and tighten all bolts finger tight.

3. Put the hose in a position so that the hose does not make contact with the machine or with another hose.

Illustration 6

4. Tighten the bolts on both connections to the proper torque. Follow the prescribed torque sequence for split flange
connections. Add the measurement of gap (A) to the measurement of gap (B). The total must not exceed 4.0 mm (0.16
inch).

5. Start the engine.

6. Move the implement control levers to all of the positions.

7. Look at the hose during movement of the implement. Ensure that the hose is not in contact with the machine or with
other hoses.

Note: For hoses that cross an articulation hitch, check for contact during articulation. For hoses that connect to the
steering system, check for contact during steering.

8. Shut off the engine.

9. If the hose contacts other hoses or the machine during the test, loosen the bolts and reposition the hose. Repeat steps 3
through 8 until there is no contact.

Installation of Adjustable STOR Fittings


This type of fitting is used in many applications. One end of the fitting will be an adjustable STOR fitting. The other end
will be different. Always use the same installation procedure for the STOR end. Adjustable STOR fittings can be
positioned before tightening.

is assembled to the mating part.

1. Put locknut (3), backup washer (4) and O-ring seal (5) as far back on fitting body (2) as possible. Hold these
components in this position. Turn the fitting into the mating part. Turn the fitting until backup washer (4) contacts the
surface of the mating part.

2. Put the fitting assembly in the correct position. loosen fitting (2) until the correct assembly position is achieved. Do
not loosen the fitting more than 360 degrees. Install the tube or hose hand tight in order to verify the orientation of the
fitting. Tighten locknut (3) to the torque that is shown in the correct chart for the fitting that is used.

Note: If the fitting is not adjustable, the hex on the body replaces the locknut. To install this type of fitting, tighten the
hex against the face of the mating part.
