Pressure Limiter Valve - Test and Adjust - Right Pump

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.

Introduction

The propel pumps are equipped with two multifunction valves. One valve for the forward propel circuit and one for the reverse propel circuit. The multifunction valves act as make up valves, high-pressure relief valves and system pressure limiters.

Note: Verify that charge relief pressure is within specifications prior to performing this procedure. Refer to Specification, Systems Operation, Testing and Adjusting, "Relief Valve (Charge, Right Pump) Test and Adjust".

    Right Propel Pump

  1. Loosen locknut (25) on the forward multifunction valve. Use a 5 mm hex wrench to rotate adjustment screw (26). In order to increase pressure, rotate the adjustment screw clockwise. In order to decrease pressure, rotate the adjustment screw counterclockwise.

    Note: One revolution of adjustment screw (26) changes the pressure by approximately 9000 kPa (1305 psi).

  2. Hold adjustment screw (26), and tighten locknut (25) on forward multifunction valve to 23 N·m (17 lb ft). Go to "Test Procedure", Step 14.

  3. Loosen locknut (27) on reverse multifunction valve. Use a 5 mm hex wrench to rotate adjustment screw (28). In order to increase pressure, rotate the adjustment screw clockwise. In order to decrease pressure, rotate the adjustment screw counterclockwise.

    Note: One revolution of the adjustment screw (28) changes the pressure by approximately 9000 kPa (1305 psi).

  4. Hold adjustment screw (28), and tighten locknut (27) on reverse multifunction valve to 23 N·m (17 lb ft). Go to "Test Procedure", Step 1.
