Piston Pump Neutral (Vibratory) - Test and Adjust

Usage:

CB46B JC4

------ 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.


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

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.



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.

  43. Loosen locknut (29) and rotate adjustment screw (30). Note the pressure at port "M4" and port "M5". Rotate adjustment screw (30) until the servo pressure at port "M4" is 95 - 200 kPa (14 - 29 psi) greater than port "M5".

  44. The system pressure at port "Ma" and port "Mb" should indicate displacement. Clockwise rotation of adjustment screw (30) will increase pressure at port "Ma". Counter clockwise rotation of adjustment screw (30) will increase pressure at port "Mb". This action indicates the servo piston is in contact with the servo cylinder cap on the "M5" side of the pump.

  45. Slowly turn servo cylinder cap (27), on the "M5" side of the pump, in until the system pressure differential starts to decrease. Maintain "M4" servo pressure 95 - 200 kPa (14 - 29 psi) higher than "M5" servo pressure during this step.

  46. Continue turning cylinder cap (27), 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.

  47. Replace lock-screws (28) and lock-plate (26) on the "M5" servo cylinder cap (19). Tighten lock-screws to a torque of 14.5 N·m (11 lb·ft).

  48. Rotate adjustment screw (30). Note the pressure at port "M4" and port "M5". Rotate adjustment screw (30) until the servo pressure at port "M5" is 95 - 200 kPa (14 - 29 psi) greater than port "M4".

  49. The system pressure at port "Ma" and port "Mb" should indicate displacement. Clockwise rotation of adjustment screw (30) will increase pressure at port "Ma". Counter clockwise rotation of adjustment screw (30) will increase pressure at port "Mb". This action indicates the servo piston is in contact with the servo cylinder cap on the "M4" side of the pump.

  50. Slowly turn servo cylinder cap (23), on the M4 side of the pump, in until the system pressure differential starts to decrease. Maintain "M5" servo pressure 95 - 200 kPa (14 - 29 psi) higher than "M4" servo pressure during this step.

  51. Continue turning servo cylinder cap (23), 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.

  52. Replace lock-screws (25) and lock-plate (16) on the "M4" servo cylinder cap (23). Tighten lock-screws to a torque of 14.5 N·m (11 lb·ft).

  53. Turn adjustment screw (30) until pressures at"M4" and "M5" are equal.

  54. Hold adjustment screw (30) in place and tighten locknut (21). Tighten locknut to a torque of 10 N·m (7 lb·ft).

  55. Move parking brake switch (2) to the ON position.

  56. Move engine start switch (4) to the OFF position.

  57. Remove tooling from diagnostic connector (14).

  58. Remove tooling from port "Ma" (9) and port "Mb" (10) on the machine valve.

  59. Remove the tooling from port "M4" (12) and from port "M5" (13). Install plugs. Tighten plugs to a torque of 12 N·m (9 lb·ft).

  60. Connect solenoid electrical connectors (11).

  61. Position side panel (8) on the right side of the machine and install ten bolts (7).

  62. Close engine compartment door (6) on the right side of machine and secure latch (5).
