Hydraulic System Warm-Up

Engine and Machine Warm-Up


NOTICE

Keep engine speed low and do not operate until the message 'Warm-Up Mode Power Derate" on the monitor goes out. If it does not go out within thirty seconds, stop the engine and investigate the cause before starting again. Failure to do so, can cause engine damage.



NOTICE

Always run the engine at low idle for at least ten minutes before performing any other operations in cold conditions or each time the engine oil and oil filter are changed in order to protect your engine and hydraulic components.



NOTICE

Depending on the ambient temperature, in order to prevent the machine operation with high speed without sufficient lubrication at the turbo bearing, the engine speed may be set to low speed and the hydraulic power minimized for a pre-determined time after the engine starts. Refer to turbo protection feature.


The engine may automatically change speeds when the machine is stationary and idling in cold ambient temperature for an extended time. This is to:

  • Maintain desired coolant temperature.

  • Maintain desired operation of engine systems.

  • Maintain desired operation of the regeneration system.

During extended idling in cold ambient conditions, engine speed may operate between 900 rpm and 1000 rpm. Operation at 1000 rpm is minimal and will only last for up to 20 minutes. The regeneration active indicator may also illuminate during extended idling conditions to signal that a regeneration is in progress.

Hydraulic System

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

When you cycle the machine controls, the machine can move suddenly. Contact between the machine and external objects or ground personnel can result in serious injury or death. Before you cycle the machine controls, the machine should be located in an unobstructed, hazard-free work area that is away from external objects and ground personnel.


  1. Make sure that the area is clear of personnel and equipment.

    Note: The hydraulic lockout control must be in the UNLOCKED position before the hydraulic controls will function.

  2. Allow the engine to warm up at low idle for at least 5 minutes. Engage the work tool controls and disengage the work tool controls. This will speed up the warm-up of the hydraulic components.

    When you idle the machine for warm-up, observe the following recommendations:

    • If the temperature is greater than 0°C (32°F), warm up the engine for approximately 15 minutes.

    • If the temperature is less than 0°C (32°F), warm up the engine for approximately 30 minutes.

    • If the temperature is less than − 18°C (0°F) or if hydraulic functions are sluggish, additional time may be required.


    NOTICE

    The hydraulic oil temperature should be higher than 25 °C (77 °F) before performing work with the machine. Make sure that the warm-up procedure is performed.

    If the hydraulic oil temperature is less than 25 °C (77 °F) and the machine is operated abruptly, serious damage to the hydraulic components may occur.


    Note: The recommended operating temperature of the hydraulic fluid for this machine is 55 °C (131 °F).

  3. To warm up the hydraulic oil, turn the engine speed dial to the medium engine speed. Run the engine for approximately 5 minutes and move the joystick intermittently from the BUCKET DUMP position to the HOLD position. Do not hold the joystick in the BUCKET DUMP position with the bucket cylinder fully extended for more than 10 seconds.

    This allows the oil to attain relief pressure, which causes the oil to warm up more rapidly.

    Note: If the joysticks are held for more than 30 seconds, the machine ECM will go into a "Warm-Up Mode Power Derate" setting. "Warm-Up Mode Power Derate" will be shown on the monitor screen. When "Warm-Up Mode Power Derate" is active, the machine ECM limits the hydraulic pump torque to 50 percent. Release the joysticks in order to cancel the "Warm-Up Mode Power Derate" setting.

  4. Turn the engine speed dial to the maximum engine speed and repeat step 3.

  5. Cycle all controls in order to circulate warm oil through all hydraulic cylinders and all hydraulic lines, and through the swing motor and travel motors.

  6. Observe the gauges and the indicators frequently during the operation.

Turbo Protection Power Derate - After an engine start, the engine speed will be set to dial one position and the hydraulic power limited for a time period . During this period, the monitor displays the message "Warm -Up Mode Power Derate". (Maximum is around 30 seconds). After the turbo bearing lubrication is sufficient, the engine speed goes to the setting dial speed and the monitor stops to display the message.

Hydraulic System Automatic Warm-up

Hydraulic System Automatic Warm-up - When the hydraulic oil is below operating temperature, the automatic warm-up function will automatically circulate hydraulic oil through the hydraulic circuits. Circulating the hydraulic oil through the hydraulic circuits will accelerate the warm-up of the hydraulic oil.

Note: The automatic warm-up feature can be enabled or disabled through the monitoring system. consult your Cat dealer for additional information.

The following conditions must be met in order for the automatic warm-up to operate after the machine has been started:

  • Automatic Hydraulic System Warm-up function must be enabled

  • Hydraulic Lockout Control is in the LOCKED position

  • Hydraulic oil temperature is below operating temperature.

When conditions are met, a "START AUTO WARMING UP?" message will appear on the monitor and a hydraulic warm-up icon will appear as a selection on the monitor.

  1. Lower the work tools to the ground and place the hydraulic lockout control in the LOCKED position.

  2. Press the automatic warm-up key on the monitor.

  3. Press the automatic warm-up key again in order to start the automatic warm-up function.

    Note: A "AUTO WARMING UP STARTING" message will appear on the monitor when the automatic warm-up function is active.

The automatic warm-up will stop once the temperature of the hydraulic oil has reached operating temperature or when the hydraulic lockout control is moved to the UNLOCKED position.

Note: If any warning message or system event message are active on the monitor, "AUTO WARMING UP" cannot be active. If any event occurred during "AUTO WARMING UP", the system is stopped.

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

Always make sure that the work tool is lowered to the ground and deactivate all work tools before activating the Hydraulic System Automatic Warm-up. Activating the system with the work tool not on the ground could result in unexpected machine movement which could result in personal injury or death.


Dynamic Cool Engine Elevated Idle (DCEEI)

The Dynamic Cool Engine Elevated Idle (DCEEI) feature will temporarily increase the low idle engine speed when the engine coolant is below normal operating temperature. Increasing the low idle speed will accelerate the warm-up of the engine and fluids. When the engine coolant reaches normal operating temperature, the engine speed returns to the low idle speed.

Extended periods of low engine idle can also result in lower coolant temperatures. During extended periods of low engine idle, the engine idle speed will automatically increase if the engine coolant drops below the operating temperature. This increase in the engine idle speed will prevent overcooling of the engine.

Improve Cold Weather Performance

Covers installed over the vents in the radiator compartment door will help to control overcooling in ambient temperatures below −15° C (5° F).

The materials used for the covers and the method used to install the covers is at the installers discretion.

Install the covers if overcooling is observed while the machine is idling in ambient temperatures below −15° C (5° F).

Stop the machine, and remove the covers under the following conditions:

  • The ambient temperature is above −15° C (5° F).

  • The engine temperature gauge indicates overheating.

  • The hydraulic oil temperature gauge indicates overheating.

(A) Cracking
(B) Hardened lubricant
(C) Cracking
(D) Lip seal - damaged spring
(E) Lip seal - dirt lip folded under
(F) Lip seal - distorted (does not lay flat on surface)

Complete a visual inspection to the seal looking for damage and contamination. Do not use the seal, if it has obvious signs of deterioration, deformation, and/or contamination like the example Damaged / Degraded as shown in Illustration 137.

Recommended Seal Cleaning

  • Chemtool CT Clean 15861 Wipe With Cleaner - Crib Identification 3-0124698, Caterpillar Part Number 169-5420 Cleaner.

  • Chemtool Lint-Free Wipes - Crib Identification 3-0080298, Caterpillar Part Number 265-2256 Lint Free Wipes.

  • Kimtex Lint-Free Polypropylene Towels - Crib Identification 3-0039125.

  • New Pig Low-Lint wipes, Part Number WIP230 or WIP232 from New Pig Corporation.

Seal Assembly / Installation for STOR / ORFS

O-ring sealing depends on proper seating of the seal in the groove, maintaining this condition during assembly of the joint, and proper torque on the connection. Improper assembly practices increase the likelihood of leaking joints.

Best practices should be followed when applying final torque to the seal connections. When necessary, utilize a backup wrench to maintain the orientation of the fitting and/or hose. In some operations, it may be necessary to also include a fixture or bracket to help hold orientation or prevent hose twisting while securing the connections.

When tightening, make the best effort to keep wrench at a 90° angle to the coupling for the most consistent and accurate torque application.

In the event the connection must be re-orientated or re-torqued outside of the initial assembly station, the O-ring should be replaced with a new seal and applied with the proper assembly tools while executing a contaminant free process; this is a recommended best practice

It is NOT recommended to utilize high RPM powered tooling to secure connectors with seals. High RPM tooling procedures increase the likelihood of seals becoming dislodged or damaged during the securing process, therefore it is recommended to utilize reduced RPM tools or manual tools when assembling components with seals.

O-rings may be installed into a fitting/adapter without the use of a tool however; installing a seal without the use of a tool places the seal at extreme risk of damage. It is recommended that appropriate tooling be used for the installation of O-rings.

STOR (Straight Threaded O-Rings)

(D) STOR O-ring
(E) Washer
(F) ORFS O-ring

When installing an O-ring over a threaded fitting, it is critical to protect the seal from damage from threads. To assist the assembly and protect the seal, an installation tool must be used. Refer to Illustration 138 and Illustration 139. The seal protector slides over the threads and allows for an O-ring to be installed, reducing the risk of a leak due to nicks, cuts, gouges, and twisting of the seal.

Table 60

(-16)  336-0784 
(-20)  336-0787 

Assembly tool must be used to protect the seal from damage due to thread contact. Threads may cut or tear the seal during installation.

Follow the steps below for proper tool use and assembly of an O-ring onto the STOR end of a fitting/adapter :



    Illustration 140g06230231

    (G) O-ring must be positioned next to the washer
    (H) Fitting body
    (J) Locknut must be in contact with the fitting body
    (K) Cap where applicable

  1. Complete a one second inspection of the seal, fitting, and tool for damage.

    Note: Ensure that the locknut on adjustable STOR fittings is positioned above the O-ring groove as shown in Illustration 140.



    Illustration 141g06230236
    Installation of O-ring on tool

  2. Place the O-ring over tool.

  3. Place the tool over the fitting threads.


    Illustration 143g06230239
    Installation of the O-ring in fitting

  4. Place the fingers above seal and applying even, steady pressure around the seal. Glide seal onto fitting taking care to prevent twisting. If the O-ring is twisted when seated, it can fail prematurely due to high strain. If a twist is observed, remove the seal and re-install.

    Note: In most cases the O-ring that is to be installed onto a fitting should have PTFE (Teflon) coating. If your facility does not use PTFE (Teflon) coated seals, notify Sealing Center of Excellence (Design Control A623) immediately.

  6. Inspect the placement (seating) of the seal. Refer to Illustration 145.

    Note: Seal shall be placed over the O-ring groove and resting on washer as shown in Illustration 146.

  7. Cap the STOR end for contamination prevention where applicable.

    Note: If the O-ring is twisted when seated it can fail prematurely due to high strain. If a twist is observed, remove the seal and re-install.
