Important Safety Information



Illustration 1g02139237

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 2g00008666

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 "NOT" 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 document 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 in order 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.

------ WARNING! ------

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.


------ WARNING! ------

Hot oil and components can cause personal injury.

Do not allow hot oil or components to contact skin.


------ WARNING! ------

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. These tools are suggested and may very depending on availability and bench configuration.

Test Procedure

Warm-up Procedure

  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 Tooling (K) counterclockwise in order to remove restriction in the inlet flow.

  3. Adjust the output flow to 151.4 L/min (40.0 US gpm).

  4. Adjust Tooling (K) clockwise in order to increase supply pressure to 2240.8 ± 34.5 kPa (325.0 ± 5.0 psi).

  5. Readjust the output flow to 151.4 L/min (40.0 US gpm).


    Illustration 34g02720621

  6. Rotate the input shaft in a counterclockwise direction. Adjust the input rotation to 1300 ± 10 rpm.

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

  7. Maintain input speed, oil flow, and pressure for 5 minutes in order to purge air from the system.

Torque Converter Pressure and Leakage Test

  1. Adjust Tooling (K) counterclockwise in order to remove restriction in the inlet flow.

  3. Adjust Tooling (K) clockwise in order to increase supply pressure to 2240.8 ± 34.5 kPa (325.0 ± 5.0 psi).

  4. Readjust the output flow to 151.4 L/min (40.0 US gpm).

  5. Adjust the input rotation to 1300 ± 10 rpm.

  6. Record the torque converter inlet flow at the pressurized flow meter in Table 6.

  7. Record the torque converter inlet pressure in Table 6.

  8. Record the torque converter outlet relief pressure in Table 6.

  9. To obtain leakage, subtract the output flow from the input flow.

  10. Record the calculation in Table 6.

  11. Record torque converter inlet relief pressure in Table 6.

Torque Converter Inlet Relief Valve Test

  1. Adjust Tooling (K) counterclockwise in order to remove restriction in the inlet flow.

  2. Adjust the output flow to 151.4 L/min (40.0 US gpm).

  3. Adjust Tooling (M) in order to increase supply pressure to 2240.8 ± 34.5 kPa (325.0 ± 5.0 psi).

  4. Readjust the output flow to 151.4 L/min (40.0 US gpm).

  5. Adjust the relief valve on the "Number 2" flow meter that is connected to the torque converter outlet until there is visible oil flow from Tooling (N).

  6. Record the torque converter inlet pressure in Table 7.

Lockup Clutch Test

  1. Adjust Tooling (K) counterclockwise in order to remove restriction in the inlet flow.

  2. Adjust the output flow to 151.4 L/min (40.0 US gpm).

  3. Adjust Tooling (M) in order to increase supply pressure to 2240.8 ± 34.5 kPa (325.0 ± 5.0 psi).
