To prevent personal injury when checks are made while the machine is in operation, make sure only approved personnel are on the machine. Keep other personnel off the machine and in view of the operator. Make sure checks are done in an open area. |
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, 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. |
Personal injury or death can result from escaping fluid under pressure. Escaping fluid under pressure, even a very small pin-hole size leak, can penetrate body tissue and cause serious injury and possible death. If fluid is injected into your skin, it must be treated immediately by a doctor familiar with this type of injury. Always use a board or cardboard when checking for a leak. |
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. |
Note: All of the tests use 10W hydraulic oil at a temperature range of 55°C (130°F) to 65°C (150°F).
Ensure that the intake manifold boost pressure is correct before the hydrostatic system is tested. Refer to Technical Information Bulletin, TIBU184326 March 1997, "Inlet Manifold Pressure for Turbocharged 3054 Machine Engines" for the specifications of the intake manifold boost pressure.
The tests for the hydraulic system should be done in the following order. In order for the hydrostatic system to function properly, each component in the system must be set to the correct specifications. Some components must be set prior to the testing of other components. A component that is not set properly will have an impact on other components in the system.
It is not advisable to bypass preceding tests. Do not perform a test before the tests that precede that test have been done. Each test has a chart that lists the equipment that is needed to perform testing on the hydrostatic system. Equivalent tooling may be substituted. You will need additional wrenches, shop equipment and tools. You may need additional fittings. You may substitute additional fitting in the list below.
Clearly mark all of the hoses and the corresponding pressure gauges, when the hoses are installed. The hoses and the pressure gauges will be used multiple times in the testing and adjusting procedures.
Preparing the Machine for Testing
Close the Inching Valve
Many of the following tests require the application of the service brakes in order to prevent movement of the machine. The application of the service brakes causes the signal oil that flows to the pump to flow to the hydraulic tank. This causes hydrostatic braking. Hydrostatic braking causes the motor to upstroke and hydrostatic braking causes the pump to destroke. In order to obtain the correct pressures, the shutoff valve for hydrostatic braking is closed. This will prevent hydrostatic braking when the service brakes are depressed.

- Rotate stem (7) on shutoff valve (8) counterclockwise until the pin on the right side of the shutoff valve prevents further rotation. This blocks the hydraulic oil to the inching valve.
Deactivate the Neutralizer to the Hydrostatic System
When the parking brake is applied, the limit switch on the parking brake control lever will signal the hydrostatic system to neutralize. This procedure will allow the hydrostatic system to ignore the limit switch on the parking brake control lever.
- Remove the access panel on the lower right side of the machine by the door.
- Disable the neutralizer to the hydrostatic system by removing the parking brake alarm relay (9) and the parking brake relay (10) .

- If the engine speed is not within the specification, then refer to the Systems Operation and Testing and Adjusting, SENR5816 in order to adjust the idle speeds to the correct specifications.
- Decrease the engine to low idle. Stop the engine.
- If the pressures are within the correct specifications, then go to the next step.
- If the cooling pressure is too low, a bypass valve could be improperly assembled. The valve in the return manifold could be stuck open. If the cooling loop pressure is too high, a bypass valve could be stuck in the closed position. Also, there may be a line or a component that is restricted.
- If the signal pressure is too low or too high, verify the charge pressure on the gauge that is attached to pressure tap (7). Check the adjustment for the linkage to the inching valve for (PIN: 7ZM1-599, 8ZM1-499). Refer to Systems Operation and Testing and Adjusting, SENR6772-01, "Service Brake Control - Adjust". Check that the inching valve actuates properly for (PIN: 7ZM600-UP, 8ZM500-UP). Refer to Systems Operation and Testing and Adjusting, RENR2810-01, "Inching Valve - Test" for more information. Check the settings for the speed sensing valve. If the valve is not set to the correct specifications, refer to Systems Operation and Testing and Adjusting, SENR6766-02, "Speed Sensing Valve Adjustment" for the correct adjustment procedure. Check the settings for the speed sensing valve at the rated engine speed.
- If the pressure to the pump case is too low, check for a leaking lip seal. Check for leaks on the motor case. Check for a flushing valve that is stuck open. If the pump case is too high, check for a restricted line and check for a restricted component.
- If the pressure to the charge pump is not correct, the flushing valve may be stuck open or the charge relief valve is out of specification. Refer to Specifications, SENR6765, "Piston Pump (Hydrostatic)" for the specifications for the charge relief valve.
- If only the steering pressure is out of specification, then refer to Systems Operation, Testing and Adjusting for the Steering System, SENR6770-01 for (PIN: 7ZM1-599, 8ZM1-499). Refer to Systems Operation, Testing and Adjusting for the Steering System, RENR2814 for (PIN: 7ZM600-UP, 8ZM500-UP).
- After making, the proper adjustments repeat the initial pressure tests.
Note: If the pressures are low in low idle and the pressures are within the specifications in high idle, then this may indicate a leak.
- Remove the test line for the service brakes (14). Remove the test line for the implements (12). Remove the test line for the steering (13). Leave all the other gauges installed on the machine.
Stall Tests
These tests check the condition of the engine and the hydrostatic systems under a load.
Hydrostatic Stall Test
To prevent personal injury when checks are made while the machine is in operation, make sure only approved personnel are on the machine. Keep other personnel off the machine and in view of the operator. Make sure checks are done in an open area. |
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, 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. |
This test checks that the hydrostatic drive is fit for use in a single stall condition. This test also establishes the proper settings for the valve for pressure override.

Hydrostatic Stall Test and Stall Test for the Implement System
To prevent personal injury when checks are made while the machine is in operation, make sure only approved personnel are on the machine. Keep other personnel off the machine and in view of the operator. Make sure checks are done in an open area. |
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, 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. |

- The first signal oil pressure should be larger than the second signal oil pressure. This verifies that the signal oil pressure during the inching mode is greater than the signal oil pressure during braking.
- If the first signal oil pressure is lower than the second signal oil pressure, then do one of the following steps:
- For (PIN: 7ZM1-599, 8ZM1-499), check the adjustment for the inching valve. Refer to Systems Operation, Testing and Adjusting 914G Wheel Loader and IT14G Integrated Toolcarrier, SENR6772-01, "Service Brake Control - Adjust".
- For (PIN: 7ZM600-UP, 8ZM500-UP), replace the brake valve.
Final Tests
To prevent personal injury when checks are made while the machine is in operation, make sure only approved personnel are on the machine. Keep other personnel off the machine and in view of the operator. Make sure checks are done in an open area. |
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, 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. |
Do the final tests only if a pump or a motor has been replaced. If the final tests are not required, then go to the next procedure.
