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

Diesel engine exhaust contains products of combustion which may cause personal injury.

Always start and operate the engine in a well ventilated area, and, if in an enclosed area, vent the exhaust to the outside.


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

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.


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

Personal injury or death can result from sudden machine movement.

Sudden movement of the machine can cause injury to persons on or near the machine.

To prevent injury or death, make sure that the area around the machine is clear of personnel and obstructions before operating the machine.


Introduction

The hydraulic tank is vented. If the vent is operating correctly, the maximum pressure in the hydraulic tank should be less than 70 ± 10 kPa (10.2 ± 1.5 psi).

Perform the following procedure to ensure that the oil in the hydraulic tank is not under pressure. This test should be performed before any test is performed on the hydraulic system.

Test Preparation

  1. Drive the machine to a smooth, horizontal surface.

  2. Move propel lever (4) to the NEUTRAL position.

  3. Press parking brake switch (5) to change the status of the parking brake to "engaged". When the parking brake status is "engaged", an LED next to the parking brake switch will be illuminated.

  4. Use travel mode switch (3) to select the pave mode. When the travel mode is set to pave, an LED next to pave symbol (2) will be illuminated.

    Note: The machine must be in pave mode to operate the screed lift system, hopper system, tow point system, and auger lift system.

  5. Press and hold screed raise switch (1). Release the switch when the screed is raised fully.

  11. Examine the display. If "Regen Conditions Not Met" warning (12) is shown and the banner is yellow, allow the engine to operate until the regeneration cycle is complete. The cycle may require up to 1 hour to complete. If the warning banner is red, use Cat® ET to complete a regeneration cycle as soon as possible. If no engine regeneration warning is shown, go to the next step.
