Important Safety Information

Illustration 1	g02139237

Follow all safety warnings. Most accidents that involve product operation, maintenance, or repair are caused by failure to observe safety warnings. An accident can often be avoided by recognizing potentially hazardous situations before an accident occurs. Personnel must be properly trained to perform maintenance, repair, or operate any machine. Safety precautions and warnings are provided this instruction and on Caterpillar products. These warnings should be observed before performing any procedures. Caterpillar cannot anticipate every possible circumstance that might involve a potential hazard. The warnings in this publication and on the product are not all inclusive.

The hazards are identified by the “Safety Alert Symbol” which is followed by a “Signal Word” such as “DANGER”, “WARNING, or” “CAUTION”. The “WARNING” Safety Alert Symbol is shown in illustration below.

Illustration 2	g00008666

This safety alert symbol means:

Pay Attention!

Become Alert!

Your Safety is Involved.

The message that appears under the safety alert symbol explains the hazard.

Operations that may cause product damage are identified by "NOTICE" labels on the product and in this publication.

Caterpillar cannot anticipate every possible circumstance that might involve a potential hazard. The safety information in this document and the safety information on the machine are not all inclusive. Determine that the tools, procedures, work methods, and operating techniques are safe. Determine that the operation, lubrication, maintenance, and repair procedures will not damage the machine. Also, determine that the operation, lubrication, maintenance, and repair procedures will not make the machine unsafe.

The information, the specifications, and the illustrations that exist in this guideline are based on information which was available at the time of publication. The specifications, torques, pressures, measurements, adjustments, illustrations, and other items can change at any time. These changes can affect the service that is given to the product. Obtain the complete, most current information before you start any job. Caterpillar dealers can supply the most current information.

Collecting the Test Data

Since conditions vary for each test bench, use the data that is collected from your test bench. The collected data is used to compare test results. The data should be collected and maintained by the operator.

Data from each transmission arrangement is collected and stored. Averages from each transmission arrangement are often used to compare values on portions of transmission tests. Always compare data that is collected from the same transmission arrangement that is being tested. Averages for the last 20 transmission arrangements should be maintained.

Show/hide table

Personal injury or death can result from escaping fluid under pressure. Escaping fluid under pressure, even a very small pin-hole size leak, can penetrate body tissue and cause serious injury and possible death. If fluid is injected into your skin, it must be treated immediately by a doctor familiar with this type of injury. Always use a board or cardboard when checking for a leak.

Show/hide table

Hot oil and components can cause personal injury. Do not allow hot oil or components to contact skin.

Show/hide table

Personal injury or death can result from not following the proper procedures. To avoid the possibility of injury or death, follow the established procedure.

Tools Needed

Note: Pressures will be sensitive to tooling setup. The diameter of the hose, the diameter of a fitting, and additional filtering can affect pressure. The required tools that are listed in Table 3 were used to develop this test procedure.

Test Procedure

TA3 Navigation

1. Select “Off-Highway Trucks”.

2. Select “777F-24V”.

Harness Test

1. Make sure that the harness is properly connected.

2. Use Tooling (R) to perform the harness test.

3. Record the values in Table 6.

   Note: Do not continue testing until Harness Test passes.

Start Checks

Note: Refer to Testing and Adjusting, RENR8303, "777F Off-Highway Truck Power Train" for the correct adjusting procedures.

1. If you are using SAE 10W oil, warm the oil to 50 °C (125 °F). If you are using Mobil DTE11 oil, warm the oil to 34 °C (95 °F). Maintain this temperature for the duration of the test.

2. Adjust the input flow to 170 ± 4 L/min (45 ± 1 US gpm).
   Show/hide table

   Illustration 39	g02720621

3. With the transmission in the NEUTRAL position, rotate the input shaft in a counterclockwise direction. Adjust the input rotation to 700 ± 30 rpm.

   Note: The input shaft will be rotated in a counterclockwise direction for the duration of this test. The direction is determined as you face the drive motor of the test bench.

4. Shift the transmission through all gears to eliminate air from the transmission controls.

5. Confirm the correct clutch engagement with Table 4.

6. Stop the input rotation.

Lube Check

1. Adjust the lube flow to 151 ± 4 L/min (40 ± 1 US gpm).

2. Adjust the input rotation to 1925 ± 10 rpm.

3. Shift the transmission to the FORWARD 2 position.

4. Record the lubrication pressure in Table 7.

5. The lubrication pressure must be 62 ± 14 kPa (9 ± 2 psi).

Pressure Check (Low Idle)

1. Adjust the input flow to 108 ± 4 L/min (29 ± 1 US gpm).

2. Adjust the input rotation to 800 ± 10 rpm.

3. Shift the transmission through ranges REVERSE, NEUTRAL, FORWARD 1, FORWARD 2, FORWARD 3, FORWARD 4, FORWARD 5, FORWARD 6, and FORWARD 7.

   Note: Always shift the transmission back to NEUTRAL when shifting between FORWARD and REVERSE.

4. Record the clutch pressure for each range in Table 9.

5. Verify that the clutch pressures match the values in Table 8.

Pressure Check (High Idle)

1. Adjust the input flow to 170 ± 4 L/min (45 ± 1 US gpm).

2. Adjust the input rotation to 1925 ± 10 rpm.

3. Shift the transmission through ranges REVERSE, NEUTRAL, FORWARD 1, FORWARD 2, FORWARD 3, FORWARD 4, FORWARD 5, FORWARD 6, and FORWARD 7.

   Note: Always shift the transmission back to NEUTRAL when shifting between FORWARD and REVERSE.

   Note: Return to low idle rpm before shifting between gears.

4. Record the clutch pressure for each range in Table 11.

5. Verify that the clutch pressures match the values in Table 10.

Clutch Leakage Check

1. Adjust the input flow to 170 ± 4 L/min (45 ± 1 US gpm). Maintain this flow for the duration of this check.

2. Shift the transmission to the NEUTRAL position.

3. Adjust the input rotation to 1925 ± 10 rpm.

4. Record the supply pressure in Table 13. The correct supply pressure is 2965 ± 35 kPa (430 ± 5 psi).

5. Record the input flow in Table 13.

6. Record the cooler flow in Table 13.

7. The leakage is obtained by subtracting the cooler flow from the input flow.

8. Record the calculation in Table 13.

9. Adjust the input rotation to 800 ± 10 rpm.

10. Shift the transmission through positions FORWARD 1, FORWARD 2, FORWARD 3, FORWARD 4, FORWARD 5, FORWARD 6, FORWARD 7, and REVERSE. Repeat Steps 2 through 9 for each gear range. Adjust the input rotation to 800 ± 30 rpm for all shifts.

    Note: Always shift the transmission back to NEUTRAL when shifting between FORWARD and REVERSE.

11. Verify that the clutch leakages match the values in Table 12.

    Note: Subtract the clutches for the gears called out, eliminating the common clutch.
    EXAMPLE:
    F2 uses CL1 and CL 6
    F1 uses CL 2 and CL 6
    F2 - F1 (CL 1,6 - CL 2,6)
    (eliminate common clutch: CL 6) = CL 1 - CL 2

Contamination Control

1. Take an oil sample of the test bench oil supply. Oil contamination must be maximum ISO 16/13.

2. Record the results in Table 14.

3. Remove the transmission from the test bench if the test bench oil supply is within specifications.
