 NOTICE
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.

Personal injury or death can result from sudden machine movement.

Sudden movement of the machine can cause injury to persons on or near the
machine.

Prevent possible injury by performing the procedure that follows before

working on the machine.

1. Park the machine on a smooth level surface.

2. Shift the transmission direction and speed control lever to the NEUTRAL position.

3. Lower the bucket and/or the work tools to the ground.

4. Engage the parking brake.

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

. Install the steering frame lock.

7. Remove the front axle shafts and rear axle shafts except for stall tests.

. Allow only authorized personnel on the machine. Keep unauthorized personnel off the machine
and in clear sight of the operator.

Note: All tests and all adjustments must be made while the transmission oil is at normal operating
temperature.

NOTICE
Do not connect or disconnect hose fittings to or from the quick disconnect
nipples when there is pressure in the system. This will prevent damage to the
seals that are in the fitting.

Test Procedures
Use the following procedure in order to check the pressure of the oil for the direction clutch, the oil
for the speed clutch, and the oil for the pump output.

(E) Pressure Tap for Oil Pump

1. Install the correct hose assembly from 1U-5482 Pressure Adapter Group on the
following pressure taps: (D), (E) and (F). Attach the opposite end of the hose assembly
to the 0 to 3400 kPa (0 to 580 psi) pressure gauge in the 1U-5481 Pressure Gauge
Group .

2. Engage the parking brake. Shift the transmission direction and speed control lever to
the NEUTRAL position. Shift the transmission direction and speed control lever to first
speed. Start the engine and operate the engine at low idle.

3. Depress the right service brake pedal and hold down the right service brake pedal.
Release the parking brake. Watch the pressure gauges. Shift the transmission
direction and speed control lever from the NEUTRAL position to the FORWARD
position. Increase the engine speed to high idle. Make sure that the transmission oil is
at normal operating temperature. The needle on the pressure gauge for the Number 2
clutch should rise. The needle on the pressure gauge for the Number 5 clutch should
rise. The pressure readings must be within the values that are found in Table 3 that
follows.
With the transmission in the FORWARD position, shift through the remaining forward speeds
and return to the FIRST SPEED position. Use the transmission direction and speed control lever
to change speeds. The pressure reading for each energized clutch must be within the values
that are found in Table 3 that follows. This checks the pressure of all the speed clutches.

4. Perform Step 3 for all reverse speeds. The same pressure levels should be noted in all
reverse speeds.

Test for the Lubrication Oil Pressure

Use the following procedure to check the pressure of the transmission lubrication oil.
 Illustration 6 g00754326
(A) Pressure Tap for Transmission Lubrication

1. Install the correct hose assembly from 1U-5482 Pressure Adapter Group on pressure tap (A).
Attach the opposite end of the hose assembly to the 0 to 400 kPa (0 to 58 psi) pressure gauge
in the 1U-5481 Pressure Gauge Group .

2. Start the engine and operate the engine at high idle. Observe the pressure gauge. With the oil at
normal operating temperature, the pressure reading of the lubrication oil must be within the
values that are found in Table 3 that follows.
