725, 730 and 730 EJECTOR Articulated Trucks Power Train Caterpillar


General Troubleshooting Information

Usage:

725 B1L
When you are attempting to define a problem with the power train, it is necessary to perform the procedures that are contained in this section.

If a problem is encountered with the planetary transmission, recalibrate the transmission prior to proceeding with investigations.

A visual inspection of the system must be carried out in order to eliminate many of the less complex problems.

Upon completion of a visual inspection, if the cause of the problem has not been diagnosed, carry out operational checks of the system.

If both visual inspection and operational checks have been carried out and there is still no clear indication of the cause of the problem then it will be necessary to refer to the troubleshooting charts and the test procedures that are contained in this manual.

Troubleshooting a system such as the power train on the 725 or 730 is a complex operation. Refer to the various troubleshooting sections in this manual for specific routines for troubleshooting.

This list of possible problems and possible corrections will only provide an indication of the location of a problem and the repairs that are required. It is important to remember that a problem is not necessarily caused by a single part, but by the relation of one part to a number of other parts. This information cannot provide all the possible problems and corrections. It is necessary for service personnel to define the problem. Any repairs may then be carried out.

Test Points and Locations

725 (S/N: B1L880-1414), 730 (S/N: B1M803-1308) and 730 EJECTOR (S/N: B1W215-262)

On 725 (S/N: B1L880-1414), 730 (S/N: B1M803-1308), and 730 EJECTOR (S/N: B1W215-262), all the test lines from the test panel are disconnected from the various test points on the machine.

When you test any part of the hydraulic systems on the listed machines, first check the test procedure for the test lines that are required and ensure that the required test lines are connected before you conduct the test procedure. In order to help identify the correct test line for a specific test point, both ends of the test line is identified with a colored ring.

When you have completed testing the hydraulic system on the machine, ensure that all of the test lines are disconnected before returning the machine to normal operation.
