2016/07/14 Braking System - Test (SEBU9389)

SMCS - 4250,4251,4267 i06704864

Personal injury can result if the machine moves while testing.

If the machine begins to move during test, reduce the engine

speed immediately and engage the parking brake.

The following tests are used to determine if the service brake, the secondary brake and the parking brake are functional. These tests are not
intended to measure the maximum brake holding effort. The brake holding effort that is required to sustain a machine at a specific engine rpm
varies depending on the machine. The variations are the differences in the engine setting, in the power train efficiency, and in the brake holding
ability.

During the test of the brakes, compare the previous engine rpm and the recent engine rpm. This comparison will determine the system
deterioration.

Service Brake Holding Ability Test

1. Fasten the seat belt before you test the brakes.

2. Check the area around the machine. Make sure that the machine is clear of personnel and clear of obstacles.

3. Test the brakes on a dry, level surface.

4. Start the engine. Allow the air system to build up to the operating pressure.

5. Fully depress service brake control (2) to apply the service brakes.

6. Depress the parking brake reset valve (5).

7. Move the shift control lever (4) to the D position.

8. Use accelerator pedal (3) to increase the engine speed gradually to 1200 rpm. The machine should not move.

9. Reduce the engine speed to idle. Move the shift control lever to the P position. Stop the engine.

NOTICE
 If the machine moved while testing the brakes, contact your
Caterpillar dealer.

Have the dealer inspect and, if necessary, repair the service

brake before returning the machine to operation.

Secondary Brake Holding Ability Test

1. Fasten the seat belt before you test the brakes.

2. Check the area around the machine. Make sure that the machine is clear of personnel and clear of obstacles.

3. Test the brakes on a dry, level surface.

4. Start the engine and allow the air system to build up to the operating pressure.

5. Fully depress secondary brake control (1) to apply the secondary brakes.

6. Depress the parking brake reset valve.

7. Move the shift control lever to the D position.

8. Use accelerator pedal (3) to increase the engine speed gradually to 1200 rpm. The machine should not move.

9. Reduce the engine speed to idle. Move the shift control lever to the P position. Stop the engine.

NOTICE
If the machine moved while testing the brakes, contact your
Caterpillar dealer.

Have the Caterpillar dealer inspect and, if necessary, repair the

parking/secondary brakes before returning the machine to
operation.

5. Depress button (26A) and depress button (26B) at the same time.

6. While both buttons are depressed, depress button (26C) to unlock the shift control lever (26). Move the shift control lever to the D position.
Note: The buttons can now be released and the parking brake will remain on.
 7. Use accelerator pedal (3) to increase the engine speed gradually to 1200 rpm. The machine should not move.

8. Reduce the engine speed to idle. Move the shift control lever to the P position. Stop the engine.

NOTICE
If the machine moved while testing the brakes, contact your
Caterpillar dealer.

Have the dealer inspect and, if necessary, repair the parking

brakes before returning the machine to operation.

Parking Brake Reset Valve Test

1. Fasten the seat belt before you test the brakes.

2. Check the area around the machine. Make sure that the machine is clear of personnel and clear of obstacles.

3. Test the brakes on a dry, level surface.

4. Purge the air from the air system at the air tanks.

5. Make sure that the parking brake reset valve is engaged. The valve will pop up to the engaged position.

6. Start the engine and allow the air system to build up to the operating pressure.

7. Move the shift control lever to the D position.

8. Use accelerator pedal (3) to increase the engine speed gradually to 1200 rpm. The machine should not move.

9. Reduce the engine speed to idle. Move the shift control lever to the P position. Stop the engine.

10. To disengage the parking brake reset valve, push down the knob.

NOTICE
If the machine moved while testing the brakes, contact your
Caterpillar dealer.

Have the dealer inspect and, if necessary, repair the parking

brakes before returning the machine to operation.
