Proper repair is important to the safe and reliable operation of a machine. 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

‘The speed at which the lift cylinders are lowered is
controlled by lowering flow control valve (2), which is
not adjustable, The tilt forward speed is controlled by
an anticavitation valve inside the tilt spool. 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.

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

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.

started to move. Oil can not flow from the rod end of
the tilt cylinder, through passage (8), and back to the

(equal forces on all sides of an effective area that pre-

This stops the cylinder rods until the oil pressure in

NOTE: The control valve shown is a typical example

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

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

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.

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

‘When the control valve lift lever is pulled back, the
hydraulic oil, under pressure, pushes against the piston
at the bottom of the lift cylinder. Crosshead (3), which,
is connected to the top of the cylinder rod, begins to

‘Most of the mast components have not moved yet,
while the carriage has moved at a 2 to I ratio with the

When the crosshead makes contact with the top of

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.

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 atHYDRAULIC SYSTEM
this full height until the lift lever is moved to the

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

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,

The carriage and inner masts move up and down
smoothly on load rollers. Stability of the mast and

(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

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

‘The power steering system uses the oil from hydrau-
lic tank (2). Hydraulic oil comes from tank (2) through
line (3) to steering pump (9). Pressure oil flows through
line (8) to steering gear (5). 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 return oil flows through
line (4) back through the steering gear, line (1), the
filter and into hydraulic tank (2).
During a left turn, pressure oil comes from the
ump, into the steering gear and flows through line (4)
to steering cylinder (6). The return oil flows through
line (7) back through the steering gear, line (1), the
filter and into hydraulic tank (2).
STEERING PUMP
Steering pump (9) is a vane type pump. 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.

SYSTEMS OPERATION
Control Valve Section
Control valve section (2) of the steering gear has
spool (7) that is operated mechanically. 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.

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

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.
