The areas that are treated with the coating should be cleaned with soapy water before final delivery.
Note: Refer to Special Instruction, REHS4445, "Servicing the Suspension Cylinders for Off-Highway Trucks" for any information concerning suspension cylinders. The Special Instruction includes Tooling, pressures, and the correct procedures for purging (oil and nitrogen) and charging (oil and nitrogen).
Chains and Cables
Use approved cables, chains, and lifting devices to lift the components. Refer to the manufacturer's literature to determine the application when you select the items that follow: cable, chain and lifting devices. When you lift a component, the lift angle is critical. Refer to the Illustration that follows to see the effect of the lift angle on the working load limit.
Illustration 1 | g00629745 |
(A) The load capacity is 100% of the working load limit for the sling.
(B) The load capacity is 86% of the working load limit for the sling. (C) The load capacity is 70% of the working load limit for the sling. (D) The load capacity is 50% of the working load limit for the sling. |
Inspect the Parts and Prepare the Machine for Assembly
Personal injury or death can result from improper lifting or blocking. When a hoist or jack is used to lift any part or component, stand clear of the area. Be sure the hoist or jack has the correct capacity to lift a component. Install blocks or stands before performance of any work under a heavy component. Approximate weights of the components are shown. Clean all surfaces where parts are to be installed. |
Properly prepare an area to assemble the machine in a way that is safe and efficient.
- Select an appropriate area for assembly. Select an area that is flat, smooth, and drained. Make sure that there is sufficient space for the following items: machine, components, tools and lifting devices.
- When you unload the components, set the components near the machine. Leave enough space around the machine to maneuver the lifting device. Carefully remove parts for inspection. Refer to the tables in this publication to ensure that all parts are present and that all parts are undamaged.
Note: Do not open the bags of hardware for inspection. Open the bags when the hardware is needed to prevent lost hardware.

Checks Before Delivery of 770 Off-Highway Truck and 772 Off-Highway Truck
This section contains assembly checks and functional checks of systems. Perform the checks before you deliver the machine to a customer.
To prevent personal injury when checks are made while the machine is in operation, make sure only approved personnel are on the machine. Keep other personnel off the machine and in view of the operator. Make sure checks are done in an open area. |
Prepare the Machine Before the Machine Is Started
- Connect a laptop computer to the Caterpillar Diagnostic Connector on the fuse panel to the right of the operator seat. The laptop computer should have JERD2142 or JERD2129 Electronic Subscription. Use a 139-4166 Data Link Cable Assembly, 171-4400 Communication Adapter Gp, NEXG4523 Service Program Module, and a 7X-1425 Data Link Cable Assembly to connect the laptop computer.
- To power the electrical system of the truck, perform the steps that follow:
- Turn the battery disconnect switch ON.
- Turn the key of the machine ON.
- DO NOT START THE TRUCK.
- Start the Electronic Technician (ET). ET will list all the electronic control modules for the machine. There will be at least an "ENGINE CONTROL", a "MONITOR CONTROL", a "BRAKE CONTROL", and a "CHASSIS / TRANSMISSION CONTROL".
- ET should also display the truck model for each control. Make sure that the model is correct for each control.
- Choose "ENGINE CONTROL". Next, choose"CONFIGURATION" .
- Change the Equipment Identification Number to correspond to the Product Identification Number (PIN) of the truck.
- Choose "ACTIVE CODES" from the ET menu. Click the button on the bottom of the screen. The button reads"INCLUDE ALL ECM's" . If "NO ACTIVE CODES" appear, then continue. If active fault codes are present, resolve the active faults.
- Choose "LOGGED CODES" from the ET menu. Click the button at the bottom of the screen that reads "INCLUDE ALL ECM's". Clear all logged codes.
- Choose "DIAGNOSTICS" and choose "EVENTS" from the ET menu. Click the button that reads "INCLUDE ALL ECM's". Clear all logged events.
- Choose "DIAGNOSTICS" from the Electronic Technician menu.
- Choose "DIAGNOSTIC TESTS" from the Electronic Technician menu. Next, choose "OVERRIDE PARAMETERS".
- From the ET menu, select"DATA LINK". Next, select "SELECT ECM". Next, select "CHASSIS / TRANSMISSION CONTROL". Next, select "CONFIGURATION".
- Change the Equipment ID Number to correspond to the PIN of the truck.
- Check the "BODY UP GEAR LIMIT"parameter. The parameter should be set to 1.

Check the Monitoring System
- Turn the ignition key to ON.
- Check if all the pixels in the monitor are working.
- "Testing in Progress" should be displayed on the monitor when the ECMs are being flashed.
- Check that the instrument panel is working and that the gauges sweep the full range. When the ignition switch is turned on, the gauges will sweep.
Activation of the Hoist Controls for the Truck Body
The truck might appear to have a problem with the body hoist controls. The 297-6905 Machine Software Gp will set the parameters for the hoist system.
Note: The software for the Electronic Technician (ET) must be used to set these parameters. Use the latest version of the ET software.
Enable the Hoist System (An Adjustable Parameter)
The hoist enable parameter is set at a value of "2" for all trucks that are shipped from the factory with the 297-6905 Machine Software Gp and with a body that is not installed. Parameter Value "2" will prevent the hoist cylinders from being activated by accident. After the body is installed, change the Parameter Value to "1". The hoist system should function properly. When the hoist system does not work, check the items below.
Settings for Hoist Enable Parameter | |
Parameter Value | Description |
0 | This value is used when the hoist system is not installed. The hoist lever will not function, and no diagnostics will be logged on the hoist lever or on the solenoids. |
1 | This value is used for normal operation when the hoist system is installed and enabled. |
2 | This is the default value that is set in the factory when the hoist system is installed but disabled. The solenoids and the hoist lever have diagnostics, but the hoist lever is ignored. The solenoids are kept in the HOLD position. |
- Verify that the hoist system is enabled in the Configurable Parameters Screen through the service menu in the Electronic Technician (ET).
- Disconnect ET and then reconnect the line if the"Hoist Enable Status" does not appear on the configuration screen. The hoist enable parameter flexes with the ET Software 3.0 when the parameter connects. Occasionally, the flexed parameter is missed by ET at the time of the connection.
Note: The hoist enable parameter is standard on the configuration screen of the ET Software 3.1.
- If the "Hoist Enable Status" does not change, check the following potential causes:
- The engine should not be running. When the engine is running, the engine may cause the signal from the Transmission Output Speed (TOS) to fluctuate. The TOS must be zero to change the "Hoist Enable Status".
- The truck should not be moving.
Note: Press the "F5" key on the laptop computer to access the configuration screen on ET.
Adjustment for Hoist Lower Valve
The command for the hoist lower valve is adjustable. This compensates for the differences between the valves. The adjustment range is "-5" to +5 with zero as the default. A positive adjustment factor will increase the lower valve command. This causes the body to come down harder. A negative adjustment factor will decrease the lower valve command. This causes the truck body to softly lower.
The Adjustment for the Hoist Lower Valve may not be available on earlier ECM systems. The adjustment range may be from 0 to 10 with 5 as the default on some early ECM systems.
Note: When the Adjustment for the Hoist Lower Valve is set too high, too much oil can be diverted to the hoist system while the hoist system is in float mode. This causes the brake oil to heat up faster. Retarding capability is also decreased. To set the Adjustment for the Hoist Lower Valve, follow the procedure below.
- Raise the body of the truck and install the body retaining pins.
- Place a 6V-7830 Tetragauge or place a
3.45 MPa (500 psi) gauge with a hose extension on the outlet port of the hoist pump.Note: Remove the body pins and lower the body to the frame.
- While the body is down, place the hoist lever in the HOLD position.
- Enter the configure parameter screen through the pull-down service menu in the Electronic Technician (ET).
- Change the Adjustment for the Hoist Lower Valve to a setting that is desired from -5 to 5. The procedure begins at 0. Adjust the settings in increments of 1 in the positive position or in the negative position.
Note: If you are using a
3.45 MPa (500 psi) gauge, remove the gauge from the extension. - Raise the body to the middle position.
- Lower the body to the frame.
- If a 6V-7830 Tetragauge is not installed, shut off the engine and install a
3.45 MPa (500 psi) gauge. Start the engine and run the engine to high idle. Cycle the hoist lever to the FLOAT position and to the HOLD position. Do not power down or raise the bed if you are using a3.45 MPa (500 psi) gauge. Damage may occur to the gauge. - While the engine is running, place the hoist lever in the FLOAT position.
- Run the engine to high idle. Verify that the pressure at the hoist outlet port is less than
1724 kPa (250 psi) .
Note: When the pressure is greater than
Note: If you change the adjustment setting and there is no corresponding change in pressure, cycle the hoist lever again. A change will occur in the settings between 2 and 5.
Body Down Snub Function (A Parameter that is not Adjustable)
The body down snub function cushions the shock when the body hits the bed of the truck. When the body is lowered, the body up switch detects the position of the body when the body is close to the rail of the truck. This causes the ECM to go into snub mode.
When the operator's request is less than the snub mode, the ECM will use the operator's request. This ensures that the body down snub function will never cause the body to go down faster than the hoist lever modulation (operator's request).
The body down snub function will be canceled as the operator moves the hoist lever out of the FLOAT position or out of the LOWER position. The body down snub function will not start until the truck body goes above the activation level for the body up switch.
Purge the Suspension Cylinder and Charge the Suspension Cylinders
Refer to Special Instruction, REHS4445, "Servicing the Suspension Cylinders for Off-Highway Trucks" for any information concerning suspension cylinders. The Special Instruction includes Tooling, pressures, and the correct procedures for purging (oil and nitrogen) and charging (oil and nitrogen), that are used on all off-highway truck suspension cylinders.
Calibrate the Truck Payload Measurement System (TPMS)
Note: The Truck Payload Measurement System (TPMS) will not operate properly until the suspension cylinders are charged correctly.
Note: The TPMS needs proper calibration before operation. Refer to Service Manual, RENR8284.

If the“Satellite Communication Status” is red, then communication was established during the wiggle test. Note: Satellite communication may have a 15 minute gap in communication. Make sure that you leave the wiggle test running longer than 15 minutes before failing the product link.
Note: To establish communication, the product link antenna must have a clear view of the sky. Objects that obstruct the antenna's view of the sky may result in a failure. If the antenna was obstructed during the test, retest the product link with an unobstructed view of the sky. Satellites can be seen from the horizon to 15 degrees above the horizon. Check the following web address for satellite coverage in your area: http://corneroftheuniverse.net/orbcomm/sats/sat_coverage.html
- Check the parameters later during the commissioning procedure. Record this information in the"Final Check" at the back of this Special Instruction.
Note: The test must operate for a minimum of 15 minutes. If communication is established, you will not need to operate the test. The parameters will be highlighted in red if the status changed during the test.
- If no communication is established and the test has been running longer than 15 minutes, check the antenna for damage and check the connection from the antenna to the radio. If the cable did not have a good connection to the radio, establish a good connection and repeat the test.
Note: If the connection from the antenna to the radio is good and no communication is established, refer to Troubleshooting, RENR7911, "Product Link 121/321".
Show/hide tableIllustration 40 g01421951 Note: To confirm the two types of the satellite communication, the "Number of GPS Satellites" should be greater than "0" and the "Satellite Communication Status" should be "Established". This screen shows that the GPS communication is established and the satellite communication is established.
- If the "Number of GPS Satellites" is greater than "0" and the "Satellite Communications Status" is "Established", the communications of product link is confirmed. Record this information in the "Final Check" at the back of this Special Instruction.
