This Service Manual outlines basic recommended procedures, some of which require special tools, devices or work methods. Although not necessarily all inclusive, a list of additional skills, precautions and knowledge required to safely perform repairs is provided in the SAFETY section of this Manual. Improper repair procedures can be dangerous and could result in injury or death. READ AND UNDERSTAND ALL SAFETY PRECAUTIONS AND WARNINGS BEFORE PERFORMING REPAIRS ON THIS MACHINE Basic safety precautions, skills and knowledge are listed in the SAFETY section of this Manual and in the descriptions of operations where hazards exist. Waring labels have also been put on the machine to provide instructions and identify specific hazards which if not heeded could cause bodily injury or death to you or other persons, These labels identify hazards which may not be apparent toa trained mechanic. There are many potential hazards during repair for an untrained mechanic and there is no way to label the machine against all such hazards. These ‘warnings in the Service Manual and on the machine are identified by this symbol Operations that may result only in machine damage are identified by labels on the machine and in the Service Manual by the word NOTICE. Caterpillar cannot anticipate every possible circumstance that might involve a potential hazard. The warnings in this Manual are therefore not all inclusive. If a procedure, tool, device or work method not specifically recommended by Caterpillar is used, you must satisfy yourself that it is safe for you and others.

The hydraulic system has hydraulic tank (10), which holds the oil for hydraulic pump (11). Oil from tank (10) is pulled to pump (11) and sent to hydraulic con- trol valve (7). The control valve levers move the valve spools in control valve (7) to let pump oil in the valve go to lift cylinders (1) and/or (12), tilt cylinders (6) or side- shifter cylinder (5).

This valve prevents cavitation (development of air pockets) in the tilt cylinders. The sideshifier speed is limited by res- trictor valve (4), which is adjustable. Excess flow protectors (3) and (13) will act asa flow control valve if an oil line is broken between them and flow control valve (2) when the mast is raised or low- ered. This prevents a sudden fall of the mast or car- riage if an oil line is broken. For a complete hydraulic schematic, see the back of | this module.

The hydraulic pump sends oil under pressure into the control valve through inlet (12). The oil flows around attachment spool (3), through passage (13) to tilt spool (4). It then flows around the tilt spool, through passage (14) and around lift spool (5). Oil then ‘g0es through outlet (15), through the oil filter, and into 7. Passage (rom check 10.

This is because the flow to and from the cylinders is stopped. In the NEUTRAL position, the lift spool will not let oil flow through passage (9) and the tilt spool will not let oil flow through passage (6) and (8).

The pressure will move pilot plunger (11) and let the oil flow through passage (2), to outlet (15), and then through the filter to the tank. As the oil flows through orifice (17), the pressure will be lower in spring chamber (18) than on the inlet side of piston (10). The higher pressure on the inlet side of the piston causes compression of the spring, and causes the piston to move. This lets oil flow past the piston into passage (16). The oil returns to outlet (15). This action goes on until the control lever is returned to HYDRAULIC SYSTEM NEUTRAL position (E). When the control lever is moved to lower position (D), lift spool (5) moves until the oil in the cylinder can flow through passage (9), into passage (2), and to outlet as). Tilt Back Position When the control lever is moved to tilt back position (A), tilt spool (4) is moved until flow from passage (13) to passage (14) is stopped. This causes check valve (1) to open. The pressure oil from the hydraulic pump is, now available at passage (7). The oil flows from pas- sage (7) atthe tlt spool, to passage (8) and into the rod end of the tlt cylinder. The oil in the rod end of the tit, cylinder moves the eylinder rod into the housing and the mast is pulled back.

When the mast is tilted forward, past its center of gravity, the mast and load weight try to pull the tilt cylinder rods from the cylinder housings. With the engine at low rpm, the cylinder rods an be pulled from the housings faster than pump oil is sent to the head ends. This will cause an air pocket on the head end of the tilt cylinders (cavitation). Cavitation can also be the result of an engine stall, or the loss of pump pres- sure, The tlt spool is made (designed) to prevent this air pocket.

The pressure oil from the hydraulic pump can now flow into passage (7), around tilt spool (4), and into passage (6) 0 the head end of the tlt cylinders (see DETAIL E). At this moment, piston (18) has not yet started to move. Oil can not flow from the rod end of the tilt cylinder, through passage (8), and back to the outlet. The tilt cylinders now have a hydraulic lock (equal forces on all sides of an effective area that pre- vents any movement) and can not move. This condi- ion will not change until the oil under pressure (at tlt cylinder head ends) ftom pump can move piston (18).

Oil in passage (6) flows through orifice (20) into passage (19) and it puts pressure on piston (18). When ‘the oil pressure becomes higher than the force of piston spring (21), piston (18) starts to move. Oil in spring. (21) chamber moves out through passage (22)as piston (18) causes a displacement. Piston (18) movement ‘opens passage (17) to passage (16) and oil in the rod end of the tilt cylinders flows through passage (8), (17), (16), (2) and to the outlet opening, Increased oil pres- sure in passage (19) will move piston (18) further until passage (22) is closed (See DETAIL F). At this time, the oil in spring (21) chamber is sealed and can not get, ‘out. A hydraulic lock is made and piston (18) move- ment is stopped. The valve is also fully open to com- plete a hydraulic tilt forward circuit.

As piston (18) moves to the closed position, the oil pressure in spring (21) chamber is removed and a development of, a vacuum is made in the chamber. The oil pressure in passage (2) is higher than the oil pressure in the cham- ber, the higher oil pressure moves check valve ball (23) and oil flows into the space in the spring chamber as shown in DETAILE. The oil flow removes the vacuum which gives a smooth movement of piston (18). This stops the cylinder rods until the oil pressure in passage (6) and (19) is high enough to move piston (18) again. The piston will go back to the position shown in DETAIL F and the cylinder rods can move again. This action goes on to keep a positive control of the mast.

On V60E-V90E models, the tilt spool moves into the valve body during lift. This makes the cavity above passage (8) empty and the cavity below passage (8) the pressure cavity where oil flows to the head end of the lift cylinder. The relief valve operation is the same as shown. This type of relief valve lets the pressure of the oil be the same between the lift and tilt systems. The attach- ‘ment system operates at a lower oil pressure to protect the lines and components. 10 25. Springs (pilot plunger 26. Piston. 2, Opening (elet valve) 28 Opening. High Pressure Reliet When control valve lever is held in the position to cause a completely extended lift cylinder, the flow of oil from passage (8) to the cylinder is stopped. This will ‘cause check valve (1) to close. Some oil will then flow ‘through orifice (17) against pilot plunger (11). At the same time, oil in passage (14) flows through opening (28) in the control valve housing through a tube to opening (27) to the relief valve. This oil moves piston (26) which causes a compression on pilot plunger spring (25). HYDRAULIC SYSTEM The oil that is against the inlet side of pilot plunger (11) increases in pressure. Pilot plunger (11) moves to let oil flow through passage (2) to outlet (15). As the oil flows through orifice (17), the pressure will be lower in spring chamber (18) than on the inlet side of piston (10). The higher pressure on the inlet side of the piston causes compression of the spring and causes the piston to move. This lets oil flow past the piston into passage (16). The oil returns to outlet (15). This action goes on until the control lever is returned to NEUTRAL position. Low Pressure Relief When the control valve lever is held in the position ‘SYSTEMS OPERATION for the sideshifter cylinder to be completely sideshift- ed right or left, the flow of oil is the same as in the High Pressure Relief, except the sideshifter valve spool stops the flow of oil to passage (14) and opening (28). Since oil cannot flow through opening (28) into open- ing (27), the only force on pilot plunger (11) is spring (25). The oil moves pilot plunger (11), ata much lower pressure, which allows oil to flow through passage (2) to outlet (15). As the oil flows through orifice (17), the pressure will be lower in spring chamber (18) than on the inlet side of piston (10). The higher pressure on the inlet side of the piston causes compression of the spring and causes the piston to move. This lets oil flow past the piston into passage (16). The oil returns to outlet (15). This action goes on until the control lever is returned to NEUTRAL position. ul HYDRAULIC SYSTEM LIFT CYLINDERS AND MAST High-Visibility Models Standard Litt ‘STANDARD LIFT MAST (Typical Example) ‘A.

The inner mast crossbar, which is connected to the top of the cylinder rods, begins to move up. At this time, the carriage also starts to move up because it is connected to the inner ‘mast through the lift chains arrangement. From the start of the lift cycle until the top of the inner mast becomes equal to the top of the outer mast, the carriage and mast are in their FREE LIFT period (A). ‘The inner mast moves at a1 to 1 ratio and the carriage moves at a 2to | ratio with the rods of the lift cylinders, The inner mast and carriage will continue to move up until they are in the extended position. If the con- trol valve lift lever is held in the lift position with the mast fully extended, the pressure relief valve in the control valve will release the extra pressure until the lift lever is released. The oil flows through the relief valve and the control valve and into the hydraulic 12 ‘SYSTEMS OPERATION tank.

The flow control valve, located at the rear of the mast between the channels, permits 114 liter/min (30 U.S. gpm) of oil flow back through the control valve and into the hydraulic tank. The lift cylinders also have excess flow protectors that act as a lowering flow control valve if an oil line is broken between them and the flow control valve locat- ed near the base of the lift cylinders. The carriage and inner mast move up and down smoothly on load bearings (rollers). Stability of the ‘mast and carriage is controlled by shims behind the bearings (rollers).

On trucks equipped with a Full Free Triple Lift Mast, the carriage can move the full length of inner ‘mast (6) before any increase in height of the inner mast. This is possible because primary lift cylinder (3) moves the carriage only. The carriage is lifted when the lift control lever is, pulled back. Oil under pressure flows from the control valve into the base of primary lift cylinder (3) and secondary lift cylinders (7). Since the primary lift cyl inder has the larger diameter for the oil to work against, the primary lift cylinder moves up first. The carriage moves up with the primary lift cylinder, with the assistance of crosshead (4) and the lift chains, until the carriage reaches the top of inner mast (6). From the start of the lft cycle until the carriage reaches the top of the inner mast, the mast isin its free lift period. During this lift cycle, the carriage moves up at a 2 to I ratio with the rod movement of primary lift cylinder (3). When the movement of the primary cylinder is com- pleted, pressure oil then works against the pistons in secondary cylinders (7). The movement of secondary cylinders (7) starts the movement of intermediate ‘mast (5) and inner mast (6) on the Full Free Triple lift models. The inner mast moves at a2 to I ratio and the intermediate mast moves ata 1 to | ratio with the rods of secondary cylinders (7) until they reach the top of their travel. ‘SYSTEMS OPERATION ozs05% FULL FREE TRIPLE LIFT MAST AT FREE LIFT (Cypical Example) 3.

Crosshead (3), which, is connected to the top of the cylinder rod, begins to move up. At this time, the carriage also starts to move ‘up because it is connected to the chains which move on the rollers of crosshead (3). From the start of the lift cycle until the crosshead makes contact with the top of the tie bar of the inner mast, the carriage is in its FREE. LIFT period (A). ‘Most of the mast components have not moved yet, while the carriage has moved at a 2 to I ratio with the rod of the lift cylinder. When the crosshead makes contact with the top of the tie bar, the inner mast starts to move with the same speed as the cylinder rod (at a 1 to I ratio), and the carriage still moves up at a2 to | ratio with the cylinder rod. ‘STANDARD LIFT CYLINDER AT FREE LIFT 3. Crosshead. This movement of the mast and carriage goes on until the stop screws of the carriage contact the top of the inner mast. The cylinder rod now goes up, which moves the carriage up (at a 2 to I ratio with cylinder rod). At the same time, the carriage pushes against the inner mast and moves it up. This movement of the ‘mast (at a 2 to 1 ratio with the cylinder rod) causes pull down rod (2) to be pulled part way out of the cylinder rod and completes the lift cycle. At this position, the pressure relief valve in the con- trol valve will release the extra pressure, until the lift lever is released. The oil flows through the relief valve and the control valve, filter and into the hydraulic tank. The carriage and inner mast will be stationary at HYDRAULIC SYSTEM this full height until the lift lever is moved to the lowered position. When the lift lever is moved forward, the oil under pressure is released in the lift cylinder. Gravity and the weight of a load will cause the carriage and the inner mast to move down at a 2 to 1 ratio with the lift cylinder rod until pull down rod (2) is retracted. The regulator in the base of the lift cylinder permits 87 liter/min (23 U.S. gpm) (for the V60E) or 132 liter/min (35 U.S. gpm) (for the V70E and V80E) of ol flow back through the control valve, filter and into the hydraulic tank. The carriage continues to move down at @ 2 to 1 ratio with the lift cylinder rod and the inner mast now moves down at a I to I ratio with the lift cylinder rod. This movement of the carriage and the inner mast goes on until the inner mast has lowered completely. Cross- head (3) and the carriage continue to be lowered until the forks are on the floor and pull down rod (2) is, extended, The carriage and inner masts move up and down smoothly on load rollers.

(On lift trucks equipped with a Full Free Lift Mast, the carriage can move the length of the stationary mast before any increase in height of the inner mast. This is possible because the chains are connected to the hous- ing of a two stage lift cylinder. Full Free Lift Cylinder (1) has two cylinders one inside the other, primary cylinder and secondary cylinder. The carriage is lifted when the lift control lever is ‘SYSTEMS OPERATION pulled back. Oil under pressure, flows from the control valve into the base of the lift cylinder. Oil flows through the secondary cylinder and into the primary cylinder. Since the primary cylinder has the larger diameter for the oil to work against, the primary cylin- der moves up first. The carriage moves up with the primary cylinder with the assistance of crosshead (3) and the lift chains, until the carriage gets to the top of the stationary mast (full ree lift). During this lift cycle the carriage moves up at a 2 to | ratio with the move- ment of the primary cylinder. When movement of the primary cylinder is complet- ed, pressure oil then works against the secondary cylin- der. The movement of the secondary cylinder starts the movement of the inner mast. The inner mast and. the carriage move up ata I to | rato with the secondary cylinder until they reach the top of their travel. FULL FREE LIFT CYLINDER AFTER FREE LIFT PERIOD At this position, the pressure relief valve in the con- trol valve will open (ifthe lift control lever is held back) and release the extra pressure until the lift control lever is released. The oil flows through the relief valve and the control valve, to the filter, and then into the hy~ draulic tank. The carriage will be stationary at this full height until the lift control lever is moved to the low- ered position, ‘The oil under pressure in the primary and secondary cylinders is released when the lift control lever is moved forward. Gravity and the weight of a load will ‘cause the cylinders to move back into the housing. The secondary cylinder moves completely back into the housing before the primary cylinder starts to move down, The flow control valve in the base of the lift cylinder permits 87 liter/min (23 U.S. gpm) of oil to flow back through the control valve, filter, and into the hydraulic tank. ‘STEERING SYSTEM ‘SYSTEMS OPERATION STEERING SYSTEM 9 70188x1 [STEERING SCHEMATIC 1.

When the steering gear is in NEUTRAL position the oil goes through the steering gear, then through line (1), the filter and into hydraulic tank (2). During a right turn, pressure oil comes from the pump, into the steering gear and flows through line (7) to steering cylinder (6).

The vanes are held in a rotor which is keyed to the drive shaft. The drive shaft is driven by a set of gears from the 16 engine. The vanes and rotor turn inside of a bore that is not round. The action of the vanes and rotor as they are turned in the bore causes the oil to be put under pressure, A flow control valve in the pump, keeps the steering action the same when there are changes in the engine speed. The pump relief valve controls the maximum pressure of the steering system. 701612 ‘STEERING PUMP ‘8. Steering pump. ‘STEERING SYSTEM ‘STEERING CYLINDER Steering cylinder (6) gives power assistance through the use of pressure oil at either end of the cylinder. The steering cylinder is double ended and the body of the cylinder is mounted stationary to the steer axle. The rod assembly is connected to the steering link assemblies at both ends of the cylinder which allows, the cylinder to move the link assemblies. STEERING CYLINDER 6. Steering eytinde STEERING GEAR The steering gear is equipped with control valve section (2) and oil metering section (1).

The spool is held in its center position by torsion bar (8). Torsion bar (8) is connected to the steering shaft and drive link (6). Drive link (6) has splines on each end. The splines on one end of the drive link are in the splines of control valve spool (7) and the splines on the other end are in rotor group (3) of metering section (1). ‘The purpose of the control valve section is to send oil to and from metering section (1) and to and from the steering cylinder. Control valve section (2) will also control the pressure of the oil sent to the cylinder. Metering Section The main parts of metering section (1) are commu- tator (4), manifold (5) and rotor group (3). The com- ‘mutator and rotor turn with the steer wheel, and can operate in either direction, The metering section controls (meters) the oil that ‘0s to the steering cylinder. It will keep the relation the same between the steering wheel and steer wheels, ‘The metering section is also used as a manually operat- ed pump to give manual steering if there is a pump failure. Rotor Group Operation ‘The rotor group and commutator are parts of the ‘metering section that control (meter) the oil that flows to the steering cylinder. Oil from the steering pump is. sent by the control valve spool to the commutator. The commutator then sends the oil to the rotor group. Rotor (3) and stator (11) are parts of the rotor group. ‘The rotor is turned by the torsion bar and drive link as. the steering wheel is turned. The rotor and stator are made so that when one lobe (12) is in a cavity (13), the ‘opposite lobe is on the part of the stator with the curve. As the rotor is turned, each lobe in sequence is moved out of its cavity to the top of the stator’s curve. This will push each opposite lobe, in sequence, into a cavity. As this action goes on, oil from the pump will always flow into three of the cavities, while oil flows out through three other cavities back to the control valve section. The other cavity will be closed. 17 ‘STEERING SYSTEM ‘SYSTEMS OPERATION [surety pressure (FROM powen PUMP) [Ei] erence on cro steenine evuinoem 92607%3, 3 W ROTOR GROUP OPERATION 3, Rotor. 9, Vanes. 10.

Because the ball can not move inside the spool, the spool must move axially as the ball moves in the helical groove. The spool will move in the direction of arrow (11). ‘When the spool is moved, a passage is opened to let oil from the steering pump flow around the outside of the valve spool into the metering section. The oil flows through the metering section to commutator (5). The ‘urn. commutator sends the oil into rotor group (7). The ‘movement of the rotor will control (meter) the amount of oil that is sent from the metering section. The oil that flows from the metering section goes through the inside of the spool. Holes in the spool let the oil flow from the inside of the spool, into a passage in the body. The oil then goes from the steering gear to the head end of the steering cylinder.

The master cylinder has two pistons (1) and (6) which push brake fluid into the brake lines. Reservoir (3) is in the top of the master cylinder to give fluid to the system. ‘When the brake pedal is first pushed, both pistons move into the master cylinder and push brake fluid through outlet (8) into the brake lines. When floating piston (6) seats on seal (9), the brake fluid that is pushed by piston (1) goes around cup seal (10), out through floating piston (6) and outlet (8). This action continues until the brake fluid pressure in piston (1) bore reaches the pressure that opens relief valve (4). The fluid being pushed by piston (1) now returns to reservoir (3). Cup seal (10) seals and the brake fluid inside piston (1) is pushed through piston (6) and out- let (8). The brake fluid pushed through outlet (8) goes through the brake lines to wheel cylinders (11), The brake fluid pressure in the wheel cylinders push wheel 22 cylinder pistons (12) out of the wheel cylinders and against the brake shoes. When the brake pedal is released, the brake shoe springs pull the brake shoes and push wheel cylinder pistons (12) back into wheel cylinders (11). The brake fluid is pushed from the wheel cylinders back through master cylinder outlet (8) and into the master cylinder. Springs (2) and (5) move pistons (1) and (6) respective- ly back to their original positions, Check valve (7) keeps a small amount of pressure on the brake lines and wheel cylinders (11). This small amount of pressure helps the wheel cylinder piston cup seal seat, which keeps air out of the brake system, WHEEL BRAKES [BRAKES WITH AUTOMATIC ADJUSTMENT (RIGHT SIDE SHOWN) 4.Upper adjustment link. 2.

Adjustment ‘pring, When the brake pedal is pushed down, the master cylinder sends brake fluid to wheel cylinder (2). Wheel cylinder pistons (3) are pushed out and move primary shoe (5) and secondary shoe (4). The brake shoes move until they make contact with the brake drum, When the brake action first starts, primary shoe (5) comes in contact with the brake drum as itis in rota- tion. This contact ofthe primary shoe puts some force ‘on secondary shoe (4) to help put it in position against the drum. BRAKE SYSTEM ‘Automatic Adjustment Brakes with automatic adjustment are adjusted on the reverse braking action. In this example the drum rotation is counterclockwise (in reverse) which causes a counterclockwise rotation of the brake shoes. Sec- ondary shoe (4) moves away from cylinder (2) that causes link (1) to move toggle lever (6) in a clockwise rotation. Link (8) is connected to the lower part of toggle lever (6) and to adjustment lever (9). By this connection, adjustment lever (9) is moved in a coun- terclockwise rotation, When the brakes are released at the end of a reverse brake application, adjustment spring (11) puts adjust- ‘ment lever (9) into its original position. If the brake shoe lining has worn enough to let lever (9) engage, a tooth on adjustment screw (10), lever (9) will rotate screw (10) to put the brakes into the correct adjustment.

The parking brake control lever location is at the cowl. ‘SYSTEMS OPERATION ‘When the parking brake lever is engaged, pucks (3), ‘one on each side of disc (1), contact disc (1) and stop any truck movement. (On power shift transmission models, the parking brake is also connected to the transmission linkage so that the transmission control levers can not be moved out of neutral when the parking brake is engaged.
