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. |
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. |

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. |

- Move engine start switch (4) to the START position. Release the switch when the engine starts.
- Operate the engine at low idle for few minutes. Move throttle switch (3) to the HIGH IDLE position.
- Monitor hydraulic oil temperature with Tool (F). Operate the machine until the oil temperature reaches 43 ± 5.6 °C (110 ± 10 °F).
- Record pressure on Tool (A).
- Move propulsion lever (1) into the FORWARD range.
- Read pressure on Tool (A). Subtract the pressure that was recorded in this step from the pressure which was recorded in Step 14. The pressure drop should be 76 ± 48 kPa (11 ± 7 psi).
- Move propulsion lever (1) into the REVERSE range.
- Read pressure on Tool (A). Subtract the pressure that was recorded in this step from the pressure which was recorded in Step 14. The pressure drop should be 76 ± 48 kPa (11 ± 7 psi).
- Move propulsion lever (1) to the NEUTRAL position.
- Move throttle switch (3) to the LOW IDLE position.
- Move engine start switch (4) to the OFF position.
- If the pressure is outside the specified range, go to Step 23. If the pressure is inside the specified range, go to Step 24.
- Replace flushing valve (11).
