Introduction

This Special Instruction describes the basic steps and components that are used in order to install a four-way directional valve. Installation of a four-way valve allows the operator to change the machine control pattern. The operator has a choice of these patterns: Caterpillar SAE, Mitsubishi Heavy Industries (MHI), Kobelco and the former SCM.

The installation and adaptability of the four-way valve will enable the operator to be more productive with the machines that are listed.

Do not perform any installation procedures until you have read the information in this publication.

Also refer to the appropriate Parts Manual, Operation and Maintenance Manual, and Service Manual for your machine.

Release of Pressure in the Hydraulic System

The release of hydraulic pressure in a hydraulic circuit is required before service is performed to that hydraulic circuit. Release the pressure in the following hydraulic circuits before any hydraulic lines are disconnected or removed from that hydraulic circuit.

  • Boom hydraulic circuit

  • Stick hydraulic circuit

  • Bucket hydraulic circuit

  • Swing hydraulic circuit

  • Travel hydraulic circuit

  • Attachment hydraulic circuits (if equipped)

  • Pilot hydraulic circuit

  • Return hydraulic circuit

Note: Refer to the Disassembly and Assembly Manual for additional information concerning service of the components of specific hydraulic circuits.

Release Of Hydraulic Pressure From A Single Hydraulic Circuit

------ 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 work tools have been lowered to the ground, 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 product. 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 on Caterpillar products.

Dispose of all fluids according to local regulations and mandates.


Perform the following Steps in order to release the hydraulic pressure from a single hydraulic circuit of the main hydraulic system.

  1. Position the machine on level ground.



    Illustration 1g00666865

  1. Fully retract the stick cylinder rod. Adjust the position of the bucket so that the bucket is parallel to the ground. Lower the boom until the bucket is flat on the ground. Refer to Illustration 12.

  1. Shut off the engine.

  1. Turn the engine start switch to the ON position without starting the engine.

  1. Place the hydraulic activation control lever in the UNLOCKED position.

  1. Move only the joysticks or the pedals of the hydraulic circuit that requires service to the FULL STROKE positions. This will release the high pressure only in that single hydraulic circuit. This will also release any pressure that might be present in the pilot hydraulic circuit.

    Note: If the desired hydraulic circuit that requires service requires the activation of a switch for operation, activate the necessary switches for the operation of the hydraulic circuit.

  1. Place the hydraulic activation control lever in the LOCKED position.

  1. Turn the engine start switch to the OFF position.

  1. Slowly loosen the filler plug on the hydraulic tank and release the pressure from the hydraulic tank. Leave the filler plug loose for a minimum of 45 seconds. This will release the pressure that may be present in the return hydraulic circuit.

  1. Tighten the filler plug on the hydraulic tank to the specified torque.

  1. The pressure in the single hydraulic circuit that requires service is now released and lines and components can be disconnected or removed from that hydraulic circuit.

Stick Out (1) - To move the stick OUT, push the appropriate control lever to this position.


Swing Right (2) - To swing the upper structure to the right, push the appropriate control lever to this position.


Stick In (3) - Position the control lever to this direction in order to move the stick inward.


Swing Left (4) - To swing the upper structure to the left, push the appropriate control lever to this position.


Boom Lower (5) - To lower the boom, push the appropriate control lever to this position.


Bucket Dump (6) - To dump the bucket, push the appropriate control lever to this position.


Boom Raise (7) - To raise the boom, push the appropriate control lever to this position.


Bucket Close (8) - To close the bucket, push the appropriate control lever to this position.

HOLD (9) stops the stick, the bucket, or the boom movements.

Two incorporated functions may be performed at the same time by moving the appropriate control lever diagonally between the two positions.

The four machine control patterns are shown in Illustration 21.

  1. Assemble support (6) and sheet (29). Refer to Illustration 17. Use bolts (7) and washers (8) .

  1. Clamp the hose assemblies together with the straps (9). Avoid damage to the hoses by positioning the straps so that no sharp corners or no cutting edges come in contact with the hoses. Make sure that the hose assemblies are not strained or twisted.

  1. Remove the air from the hydraulic circuit. Refer to the manual that is appropriate for your machine for the procedure to remove air from the hydraulic system.

  1. Check the hydraulic lines and fittings for leaks and torque.

  1. Make sure that the machine movements duplicate the control pattern that has been selected.

Machine Control Patterns

A machine control pattern is selected by repositioning the lever on top of the four-way valve. Refer to Illustration 18. After a selection has been made, use the following icons to learn the corresponding machine movements in Illustration 21. Each machine control pattern has specific movements.


Stick Out (1) - To move the stick OUT, push the appropriate control lever to this position.


Swing Right (2) - To swing the upper structure to the right, push the appropriate control lever to this position.


Stick In (3) - Position the control lever to this direction in order to move the stick inward.


Swing Left (4) - To swing the upper structure to the left, push the appropriate control lever to this position.


Boom Lower (5) - To lower the boom, push the appropriate control lever to this position.


Bucket Dump (6) - To dump the bucket, push the appropriate control lever to this position.


Boom Raise (7) - To raise the boom, push the appropriate control lever to this position.


Bucket Close (8) - To close the bucket, push the appropriate control lever to this position.

HOLD (9) stops the stick, the bucket, or the boom movements.

Two incorporated functions may be performed at the same time by moving the appropriate control lever diagonally between the two positions.

The four machine control patterns are shown in Illustration 21.
