Operation



Illustration 8g01066554
Hoist lever
(A) RAISE position
(B) HOLD position
(C) FLOAT position
(D) LOWER position

The hoist system is electronically controlled by the Chassis ECM. The hoist system is similar in operation to other Caterpillar off-highway trucks. The system consists of the following four operating positions:

  • RAISE position (A)

  • HOLD position (B)

  • FLOAT position (C)

  • LOWER position (D)

The truck should normally be operated with the hoist lever in the FLOAT position. Operating the truck with the hoist in the FLOAT position will ensure that the weight of the truck body is located on the frame and body pads.

Note: The weight of the truck body will be supported by the hoist cylinders if the truck is not operated with the hoist lever in the FLOAT position.

The Chassis ECM and the hoist control valve also provide the following functions for the hoist control that are not controlled by the operator:

  • LOWER SNUB control

  • OVERCENTER control

  • RAISE SNUB control

LOWER SNUB control occurs while the truck body is being lowered to the DOWN position. Before the truck body contacts the truck frame, the Chassis ECM signals the hoist solenoids to move the hoist valve spools to the LOWER SNUB position. This will occur when the truck body is approximately located between 4 degrees to 15 degrees in relation to the truck frame. In the LOWER SNUB position, the float speed of the truck body is reduced in order to prevent the truck body from contacting the truck frame too hard.

OVERCENTER control prevents cavitation of the hoist cylinders by preventing the truck body from raising faster that is allowed by the system. This condition may occur if there is a sudden shift in the location of the load. While the truck body is being raised, the Chassis ECM signals the hoist solenoids to move the hoist valve spools to the OVERCENTER position when the truck body is approximately at a 40 degree angle.

RAISE SNUB control occurs when the truck body is being raised and the hoist cylinders are almost extended. The truck body will be approximately at a 55 degree angle. The Chassis ECM signals the hoist solenoids to move the hoist valve spools to the RAISE SNUB position. In the RAISE SNUB position, the raise speed of the truck body is reduced in order to prevent the hoist cylinder pistons from making hard contact with the cylinder heads.

(11) Gear pumps for the hoist and for the brake cooling
(37) Pressure taps

The gear pump for the hoist and brake cooling (11) pulls oil from hydraulic tank (27). Oil flows from the two front pump sections and combines at front hoist screen (9). Oil then flows from the front hoist screen to the control valve for the hoist and brake cooling (5). From the hoist and brake cooling valve, oil may flow in one of two directions. The oil may flow to hoist cylinders (34), or the oil may flow to diverter valve (4), to rear brake oil coolers (2), to left rear brake (1), and to right rear brake (28).

Oil flows from the two rear pump sections and combines at rear hoist screen (9). Oil flows from the rear hoist screen to the control valve for the hoist and brake cooling (5). Oil then flows to hoist cylinders (34) or to front brake oil coolers (6), left front brake cooling oil filter (10), right front brake cooling oil filter (17), left front brake (8), and right front brake (26).

There is a bypass valve that is located inside the housing of each hoist screen. The bypass valves will open in order to protect the hoist system if the screens become restricted. Hoist screen bypass switch (36) is also located on the housing of each hoist screen. The bypass switches provide input signals to the Chassis ECM. The Chassis ECM sends the signals to the Vital Information Management System (VIMS). VIMS will then inform the operator if the hoist screens are restricted.

(39) Pilot signal line for the diverter valve

Rear brake cooling oil flows through diverter valve (4). The diverter valve is located behind rear brake oil coolers (2) on the inside of the left frame rail. When the oil temperature is greater than 107 °C (225 °F), the Brake/Cooling ECM sends 24 Volts in order to energize solenoid valve (38) for rear brake cooling. Solenoid valve (38) is located on chassis/brake valve (22). When the solenoid is energized, pilot signal oil flows through hose (39) from chassis/brake valve (22) to diverter valve (4). Oil then flows to rear brake oil coolers (2) and to the rear brakes. When the solenoid is de-energized, oil for the hoist pump bypasses the rear brake oil coolers and flows directly to the rear brakes.

(11) Gear pumps for the hoist and for the brake cooling
(15) Pump drive
(20) Brake cooling drive pump

Brake cooling drive pump (20) is attached to the bottom rear of pump drive (15) directly below the gear pumps for the hoist and brake cooling (11). Oil flows from the brake cooling drive pump (20) to the drive motor for brake cooling (33). The drive motor for brake cooling (33) drives both brake cooling pumps for rear brake cooling (32) and one brake cooling pump for front brake cooling (31). The brake cooling pumps are located within hydraulic tank (27). Oil that is pumped from brake cooling pump (31) is joined with the oil for the hoist in order to cool the front brakes. Oil that is pumped from brake cooling pump (32) is joined with the oil for the hoist in order to cool the rear brakes.

The Brake/Cooling ECM controls a solenoid on brake cooling drive pump (20). When the brake oil temperature is less than 102 °C (215 °F), the brake cooling drive pump is turned OFF and no oil will flow from the brake cooling pumps. When the brake oil temperature is greater than 102 °C (215 °F), the Brake/Cooling ECM sends a PWM signal to brake cooling drive pump (20) in order to modulate the brake cooling flow from the pumps. When the brake oil temperature is greater than 107 °C (225 °F), the Brake/Cooling ECM sends a signal to the brake cooling drive pump in order to provide maximum brake cooling flow from the pumps.

Note: Refer to Systems Operation and Testing and Adjusting, "Braking System" for more information on the braking system.

There are two front brake cooling oil filters for the front brakes. One brake cooling oil filter (10) is for the left front brake. The filter is located on the outside of the left side frame rail. The right front brake oil cooler filter (17) is located on the outside of the right side frame rail. Pressure taps are located on the top of each the brake cooling oil filters. Pressure tap (40) is used to measure unfiltered oil pressure. Pressure tap (42) is used to measure filtered oil pressure. Together, the two taps are used to calculate the filter restriction within the front brake cooling oil filter.

Oil samples for front brake cooling are taken from Scheduled Oil Sampling (S·O·S) port (44). The sampling port is located on top of the filter housing.

Bypass valve (43) is located within the filter housing of the cooling filter. Bypass valve (43) will open in order to protect the front brake cooling oil system if the filter becomes restricted. Bypass switch (45) is also located on the filter housing. Bypass switch (45) provides input signals to the Brake/Cooling ECM. The Brake/Cooling ECM sends the signals to VIMS. VIMS warns the operator if the front brake oil cooler filter is restricted.

Filtered brake cooling oil flows from the front brake oil cooler filter through hose (41) to the hydraulic tank for brake actuation. The oil flow is used to ensure that the hydraulic tank for brake actuation remains full of oil.

Chassis/brake valve (22) is located on the left inner frame rail in front of the brake accumulators. The pilot oil for the hoist is controlled at chassis/brake valve (22) by pressure reducing valve (46). The pilot oil flows to hoist manifold (16). The "ON/OFF" solenoid for the pilot oil controls the flow of pilot oil to the top and bottom of all of the directional spools in hoist control valve (35).

The control valve group for the hoist and brake cooling consists of the following three sections: control valve for hoist and brake cooling (5), hoist manifold (16) and hoist control valve (35). Oil flows from gear pumps (11) to the control valve for the hoist and brake cooling (5). When the hoist cylinders are not being raised or lowered, oil flows to the brakes through the two hoses on top of the valve. Pilot oil for the hoist is drained from hoist manifold (16) through hose (48).

(51) Pilot "ON/OFF" solenoid for the hoist

When the hoist cylinders are being raised or lowered, the Chassis ECM energizes pilot "ON/OFF" solenoid (51) for the hoist, two pilot solenoid valves (47) for the hoist, and two control solenoids (49) for the hoist. One control solenoid for the hoist is energized in order to provide supply oil to the head end of the hoist cylinders and another solenoid is energized in order to drain oil from the rod end of the hoist cylinders.

Pilot oil from chassis/brake valve (22) flows through pilot signal line (50) to hoist manifold (16). When the engine is started, the Chassis ECM energizes pilot "ON/OFF" solenoid (51) for the hoist. If the hoist lever remains in the HOLD position for an extended length of time, the Chassis ECM will de-energize the solenoid. Pilot "ON/OFF" solenoid (51) for the hoist is immediately re-energized if the hoist lever is moved from the HOLD position.

The truck body is raised and lowered by twin two-stage cylinders. To lower the truck body with an inoperable engine, hoist pilot pressure is required. An electric drive pump is located behind hydraulic tank (27) on the right side of the machine. Use the electric drive pump in order to provide the pilot oil for the hoist. Use the following procedure to lower the truck body:

  1. Turn the engine start switch to the ON position. The electric drive pump and the hoist cylinders will be energized.

  2. Move the hoist lever to the RAISE position for 15 seconds. Then move the hoist lever to the FLOAT position.

  3. Depress the brake release switch that is located on the dashboard of the operator's cab.

Note: For more information on lowering the truck body with a inoperable engine, refer to the following information: Operation and Maintenance Manual, "Lowering the Body with the Engine Stopped", Braking System Systems Operation, "Towing" and Braking System Testing and Adjusting, "Towing the Machine - Preparation".

To raise the truck body with a inoperable engine, connect an Auxiliary Power Unit (APU) to the hoist cylinders. Use the oil ports that are located on the bottom of the left hoist cylinder. Repeat Step 1 through Step 3 in order to raise the truck body.

Note: During Step 2, do not move the hoist lever to the FLOAT position after 15 seconds. Keep the hoist lever in the RAISE position.
