AP1055F Asphalt Paver Machine Systems Caterpillar


Pressure Reducing Valve - Test and Adjust - Shift Solenoid

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 3g03667723

  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.

  5. Press 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 5g03654811

  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.


    Illustration 6g03662559

  9. Unhook latch (10), open access door (11) on the left side of the machine.


    Illustration 7g03480477

  10. Connect Tool (A2) to port "G1" tap (12) of the auxiliary valve.


    Illustration 8g03668544

  11. Press screed halt switch (13) in order to place in the HALT position.

Test Procedure

  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 9g03668549

  5. Monitor the hydraulic oil temperature on operator display (14). Operate the machine until the oil temperature reaches 43 ± 5.6 °C (110 ± 10 °F).

  6. Press the down arrow on throttle control switch (8) once in order to operate the engine in low idle. The engine speed should decrease to 1000 rpm.

  7. Monitor pressure at port "G1" tap (12) on Tool (A). The pressure should be 4830 ± 350 kPa (700 ± 50 psi).

  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 not within the specified range, go to "Adjustment Procedure".

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

Adjustment Procedure



    Illustration 10g03662567

  1. Loosen lock nut (15) on the pressure reducing valve. In order to increase pressure, rotate adjustment screw (16) clockwise. In order to decrease pressure, rotate adjustment screw (16) counter clockwise.

  2. Hold adjustment screw (16) in place and tighten lock nut (15).

  3. Go to "Test Procedure" Step 1.
