Pump Control Valve (Auxiliary) - Test and Adjust

Usage:

AP-1055F RLM

------ 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.

Test Preparation

  1. Drive the machine to a smooth, horizontal surface.


    Illustration 4g03667723

  2. Move propel lever (4) to the NEUTRAL position.

  3. Press parking brake switch (5) in order to change the status of the parking brake to "engaged". When the parking brake status is "engaged", LED (2) next to the parking brake switch will be illuminated.

  4. Use travel mode switch (3) to select the PAVE mode. When the travel mode switch is set to PAVE mode, an LED next to PAVE symbol (1) will be illuminated.

    Note: The machine must be in PAVE mode in order to operate the screed lift system, hopper system, apron system and auger lift system.



    Illustration 5g03667821

  5. Use screed float switch (7) to place the screed in the FLOAT position. When the screed is in the FLOAT position, an LED next to the screed float switch will illuminate. Allow the screed to lower to the ground.

  6. Press the down arrow on throttle control switch (8) once in order to operate the engine in low idle.


    Illustration 6g03654811

  7. Shut off the engine. Either place machine power switch (9) in the OFF position or press and hold push to start switch (6) for 3 seconds. An LED next to the push to start switch will flash when the engine is in shutdown mode.

    Note: The engine may run for several minutes when placed in the shutdown mode.

  8. If the engine was shut down using the push to start switch (6), move machine power switch (9) to the OFF position.

  9. Unhook latch (10) and open access panel (11) on the right side of the machine.


    Illustration 8g03428127

  10. Remove cap from port "G" tap (12) on right grade and slope valve (13). Install Tool (A2) on tap (12).


    Illustration 9g03428171

  11. Use screed halt switch (14) to place the screed in the LOCK position.

Test Procedure

Note: If the machine is configured with 10 m package, lower the auxiliary pressure to 14000 kPa (2030 psi) in order to perform this procedure. Refer to Systems Operation Testing and Adjusting, "Pump Control Valve (Auxiliary) - Test and Adjust". After completion of the test procedure, increase to the auxiliary pressure to 18000 kPa (2611 psi).

  1. Move machine power switch (9) to the ON position.

  2. Press push to start switch (6) for 2 seconds in order to start the engine. An LED next to the push to start switch will flash when the engine is in start mode. When the engine has started, the LED will remain illuminated.

    Note: Only one attempt to start the engine is allowed per key cycle. A new key cycle will need to be done in order to restart the process.

  3. Operate the engine at low idle for a few minutes.

  4. Press the up arrow on throttle control switch (8) in order to place the engine in high idle. The engine speed should increase to 2200 rpm.


    Illustration 10g03668529

  5. Monitor the hydraulic oil temperature on operator display (15). Operate the machine until the oil temperature reaches 43 ± 5.6 °C (110 ± 10 °F).

  6. Read pressure on Tool (A). The pressure at port "G" should be 14000 ± 175 kPa (2030 ± 25 psi).

  7. Press the down arrow on throttle control switch (8) in order to place the engine in low idle.

  8. Shut off the engine. Either place machine power switch (9) in the OFF position or press and hold push to start switch (6) for 3 seconds. An LED next to the push to start switch will flash when the engine is in shutdown mode.

    Note: The engine may run for several minutes when placed in the shutdown mode.

  9. If the engine was shut down using the push to start switch (6), move machine power switch (9) to the OFF position.

  10. If the pressure is within the specified range, go to Step 11. If the pressure is outside the specified range, go to "Adjustment Procedure".

  11. Remove the tooling. Close access door (11) and secure latch (10).

Adjustment Procedure

    Illustration 12g03428245
    View of front of pump.

  1. Use a 4 mm hex wrench in order to loosen set screw (17) for "PC" adjustment screw (18) in pump control valve (16).

  2. Use a 6 mm hex wrench in order to manipulate the "PC" adjustment screw (18). Rotate the adjustment screw clockwise in order to increase the pressure. Rotate the adjustment screw counterclockwise in order to decrease the pressure. The pressure should be 14000 ± 175 kPa (2030 ± 25 psi).

    Note: One revolution of adjustment screw (18) changes the pressure by approximately 4200 ± 350 kPa (610 ± 50 psi).

  3. Hold adjustment screw (18) in place. Tighten set screw (17) to a torque 9.15 ± 1.65 N·m (6.75 ± 1.2 lb ft). Go back to "Test Procedure" Step 1.
