793C and 793C XQ Off-Highway Truck Air System and Brakes Caterpillar


Towing

Usage:

793C 4GZ
The machine is equipped with spring applied parking brakes. Oil pressure is required to release the parking brakes. If the engine is inoperable or if the hydraulics are inoperable, the parking brakes will be applied. If there is at least 550 kPa (80 psi) in the air system, a disabled machine can be towed for a short distance. If there is not enough air pressure in the system, the system can be charged with air from another source.


NOTICE

Do not exceed the air pressure of 830 ± 35 kPa (120 ± 5 psi) or damage can occur to the air system components.


Connect the steering system to 1U-5000 Auxiliary Power Supply. Refer to Special Instruction, SEHS8715 and Special Instruction, SEHS8880.

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

Personal injury or death could result when towing a disabled machine incorrectly.

Block the machine to prevent movement before releasing the brakes. The machine can roll free if it is not blocked.


Reference: See Operation And Maintenance Manual, "Towing The Machine" for more towing information.

Reference: See Testing And Adjusting, "Towing The Machine - Preparation" for the towing procedure.

Ensure that the parking brake lever is in the ON position. Push in the knob of the parking brake reset valve.

Place the parking brake lever in the cab to the OFF position. Air will enter the parking and secondary brake valve which will cause the control spool to move. This will prevent oil from returning to the hydraulic tank when the electric drive pump for the parking and the secondary brake release is operating. The electric drive pump for the parking and the secondary brake release will be used to supply oil in order to release the parking and secondary brakes. The electric drive pump for the parking and the secondary brake release is operated by a switch that is located in the cab. The hydraulic oil will flow from the pump through the parking and secondary brake valve to the brakes. The oil will be used to release the spring applied parking brakes.
