To prevent personal injury and/or equipment damage from failed

returned to the open flow position, slowly open the hydraulic
test equipment valve while monitoring the pump flow.

If pump flow does not increase as the valve is opened, shut the
engine off and determine what is preventing the pump from
upstroking.

Hot hydraulic oil under high pressure can remain in the

components of the hydraulic system or the power train system
after the engine has been stopped. The uncontrolled release of
the hydraulic oil can cause sudden machine movement and can
also result in the following conditions:

Burns

The penetration of body tissue

Other personal injury

Death

If hydraulic oil penetrates body tissue, the injury must be treated

immediately by a doctor who is familiar with this type of injury.

Use a board or a piece of cardboard to check for a hydraulic oil

leak. Make sure that all of the attachments have been lowered to
the ground and that all trapped pressure has been released from
the hydraulic system and the power train system. Also, make
sure that the hydraulic oil is cool before the removal of any
components or lines. Remove the hydraulic oil filler cap only
when the engine is stopped and the filler cap is cool enough to
touch with your bare hand.

Personal injury can result from rotating and moving parts. Stay
clear of all rotating and moving parts.

Never attempt adjustments while the machine is moving or the

engine is running unless otherwise specified.

The machine must be parked on a level surface and the engine

stopped.

Attach a "Do Not Operate" or similar warning tag to the start

switch and controls before servicing, repairing, or making
adjustments to the machine.

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, PERJ1017, "Dealer Service Tool

Catalog" for tools and supplies suitable to collect and contain
fluids on Cat® products.

Dispose of all fluids according to local regulations and

mandates.

Test Preparation
1. Move the machine to a smooth, horizontal location that is away from operating machines and
away from personnel.

2. Permit only one operator on the machine. Keep all other personnel away from the machine or
in the operator sight.

3. Rotate the steering wheel to a NEUTRAL position.

4. Move the transmission control to PARK to ENGAGE the parking brake.

5. Lower or retract the implements.

6. Stop the engine.

7. Turn the key to the ON position, but do not start the engine.

8. Verify that the implement controls are UNLOCKED.

9. Move the control levers through the full range of travel several times. Moving the control levers
should relieve any pressure that may be present in the implement hydraulic system.

10. Install the steering frame lock. Refer to the Operation and Maintenance Manual, "Steering
Frame Lock" for details.

11. Locate valve group (1) and attach tooling (T1) to center and rear service brake test port (2).

Test Procedure
1. Start the engine and warm up the hydraulics if necessary. The hydraulic oil temperature should
be at least 60° C (140° F)

2. Operate the engine at low idle for one minute to allow the service brake system to fully charge.

3. Press the brake pedal and read the pressure on the gauge. Compare the pressure to the
values in Table 1 in the "Specifications" Section.
Note: If the pressure is incorrect, there may be a problem with the service brake control valve,
or valve group (1).

4. Release the brake pedal and observe pressure gauge. The pressure should fall below 30 kPa
(4 psi). Residual pressure above this value can cause brake drag.

Note: If residual pressure occurs in the braking system, there may be a problem with the
r In
service brake control valve, or the braking system may require purging. Refer to Testing and
Adjusting, "Service Brake Air - Purge"
c.
5. Shut off the engine. Remove the pressure gauge and the steering frame lock from the machine.
Refer to Operation and Maintenance Manual, "Steering Frame Lock".
