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. |
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. |
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. |
Escaping fluid under pressure, even a pinhole size leak, can penetrate body tissue, causing 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. |
Personal injury can result from hydraulic oil pressure and hot oil. Hydraulic oil pressure can remain in the hydraulic system after the engine has been stopped. Serious injury can be caused if this pressure is not released before any service is done on the hydraulic system. Make sure all of the attachments have been lowered, and the oil is cool before removing any components or lines. Remove the oil filler cap only when the engine is stopped, and the filler cap is cool enough to touch with your bare hand. |
Injury to personnel can result if they are not in the operator's view. Allow only essential personnel near the machine, and make sure the personnel are in the operator's view when testing, to prevent injury. Make sure checks are done in an open area. |
Hot parts or hot components can cause burns or personal injury. Do not allow hot parts or components to contact your skin. Use protective clothing or protective equipment to protect your skin. |
NOTICE |
---|
Care must be taken to ensure that fluids are contained during performance of inspection, maintenance, testing, adjusting and repair of the machine. Be prepared to collect the fluid with suitable containers before opening any compartment or disassembling any component containing fluids. Refer to Special Publication, NENG2500, "Caterpillar Tools and Shop Products Guide", for tools and supplies suitable to collect and contain fluids in Caterpillar machines. Dispose of all fluids according to local regulations and mandates. |

Illustration 19 g06166418 Note: A small movement of the adjustment mechanism is all that will be required. Larger movements may cause machine movement.
- Loosen lock nut (30) and rotate adjustment screw (31). Note the pressure at port "M4" (16) and port "M5" (15). Rotate the adjustment screw until the servo pressure at port "M4" is
95 kPa (14 psi) to200 kPa (29 psi) greater than port "M5". - The system pressure at port "Ma" and port "Mb" should indicate displacement. Clockwise rotation of adjustment screw (31) will increase pressure at port "Ma". Counterclockwise rotation of the adjustment screw will increase pressure at port "Mb". This situation indicates that the servo piston is in contact with the servo cylinder cap on the "M5" side of the pump.
- Slowly turn servo cylinder cap (26), on the "M5" side of the pump, in until the system pressure differential starts to decrease. Maintain servo pressure
95 kPa (14 psi) to200 kPa (29 psi) higher on port "M4" than port "M5" during this step. - Continue to turn servo cylinder cap (26), on the "M5" side of the pump, in until the system pressure differential between port "Ma" and port "Mb" is less than
150 kPa (22 psi) . This action will set the servo and swashplate to mechanical neutral on the "M5" side. - Install lock screws (24) and lock plate (25) on servo cylinder cap (26). Tighten lock screws (24) to a torque of
14.5 N·m (11 lb·ft) . - Turn adjustment screw (31) in the opposite direction to stroke the pump in the opposite direction. Rotate the adjustment screw until the servo pressure at port "M5" is
95 kPa (14 psi) to200 kPa (29 psi) greater than port "M4". - Slowly turn cylinder cap (27), on the "M4" side of the pump, in until the system pressure differential starts to decrease. Maintain "M5" servo pressure
95 kPa (14 psi) to200 kPa (29 psi) higher than "M4" servo pressure during this step. - Continue to turn cylinder cap (27), on the "M4" side of the pump, in until the system pressure differential between port "Ma" and port "Mb" is less than
150 kPa (22 psi) . This action will set the servo and swashplate to mechanical neutral on the "M4" side. - Install lock screws (28) and lock plate (29) on "M4" servo cylinder cap (27). Tighten lock screws (28) to a torque of
14.5 N·m (11 lb·ft) . - The mechanical neutral is now set on the propel pump.
- Turn adjustment screw (31) until the pressure at"M4" equals the pressure at "M5" to set the electric neutral adjustment.
- Hold adjustment screw (31) in place and tighten lock nut (30). Tighten the lock nut to a torque of
10 N·m (7 lb·ft) . - Move parking brake switch (2) to the ON position.
- Move engine start switch (8) to the OFF position.
- Remove the tooling from port "Mb" (13) and port "Ma" (14) in the propel pump.
- Remove tooling from port "M4" and port "M5". Replace the plugs. Tighten the plugs to a torque of
12 N·m (9 lb·ft) . - Connect solenoid electrical connections (12).
- Remove tooling from diagnostic connector (17).
