Hydraulic oil pressure can remain in the hydraulic systems after the
engine and pump have been stopped. Serious injury can be caused if
this pressure is not released before any service is done on the hydraulic
systems. To prevent possible injury, refer to the section, Testing and
Adjusting, "Hydraulic System Pressure - Release" before any fitting,
hose or component is loosened, tightened, removed or adjusted.
When possible, the work tool must always be lowered to the ground
before service is started. When it is necessary for the boom to be in the
raised position while tests or adjustments are done, be sure that the
boom, stick and work tool have correct support.
The swing lock (if equipped) must be engaged before service is started.
Always move the machine to a location away from the travel of other
machines. Be sure that other personnel are not near the machine when
the engine is running and tests or adjustments are being made.
The correct oil temperature, flow, and pressure are necessary for correct operation. Pump output (oil
flow) is a function of engine speed (rpm) and valve adjustment. Oil pressure is caused by resistance
to the flow of oil.
Visual checks and measurements are the first steps during troubleshooting. Refer to Testing And
Adjusting, "Visual Inspection". Next, perform the operational checks. Refer to Testing And
Adjusting, "Operational Checks". Finally, perform the required tests and adjustments on the
machine.

Visual Inspection
SMCS - 5050-040
A visual inspection of the system is the first step in order to troubleshoot a problem. Shut off the
engine and lower all implements to the ground before performing the visual inspection.
1. Check the oil level in the hydraulic tank. Slowly loosen the fill/vent plug and release the
pressure before the fill/vent plug is removed.

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.
2. Remove the hydraulic filter elements. Inspect the hydraulic filters for material that would give
an indication of damage to a component.
3. Inspect all lines and connections for damage or leaks.
4. Inspect control linkages for bent components, broken components or damaged components.

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.

2. 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 1.
3. Shut off the engine.
4. Turn the engine start switch to the ON position without starting the engine.
5. Place the hydraulic activation control lever in the UNLOCKED position.
6. 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.
7. Place the hydraulic activation control lever in the LOCKED position.
8. Turn the engine start switch to the OFF position.
9. 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.
10. Tighten the filler plug on the hydraulic tank to the specified torque.
11. 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.
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 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.

8. Start the engine.
9. Place the hydraulic activation control lever in the UNLOCKED position. Do not move any
joysticks or pedals from the NEUTRAL position during this step. Do not activate any
switches during this Step.
10. Return the hydraulic activation control lever to the LOCKED position.
11. Shut off the engine.
12. Repeat Steps 4 through 11 for each additional hydraulic circuit that requires service.
13. After releasing the hydraulic pressure in each of the desired hydraulic circuits, place the
hydraulic activation control lever in the LOCKED position.
14. Turn the engine start switch to the OFF position.
15. Slowly loosen the filler plug on the hydraulic tank and release the pressure. 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.
16. Tighten the filler plug on the hydraulic tank to the specified torque.
17. The pressure in the multiple hydraulic circuits that require service is now released and lines
and components can be disconnected or removed from those hydraulic circuits.

Operational Checks
SMCS - 5050-535
The operational checks can be used to find leakage in the system and components that are not
functioning correctly. The speed of rod movement or the torque on a motor can be used to check the
condition of the cylinders, motors and the pumps.
Perform the following operational checks in order to troubleshoot problems concerning the hydraulic
circuits and components on the machine.

Dry nitrogen is the only gas approved for use in the accumulators. The
charging of oxygen gas in an accumulator will cause an explosion. An
explosion can be eliminated by using nitrogen gas cylinders with
standard CGA (Compressed Gas Association, Inc.) No. 580 connectors.
When nitrogen gas is ordered, make sure to order the cylinders with
CGA No. 580 connectors.
Do not rely on color codes or other methods of identification to tell the
difference between nitrogen and oxygen cylinders. In any application,
never use an adapter to connect your nitrogen charging group to a valve
outlet used on both nitrogen, oxygen, or other gas cylinders. BE SURE
YOU USE DRY NITROGEN (99.8% purity).
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

one pump, the problem is most likely in the hydraulic system. Then perform the pump flow tests.
Refer to Testing and Adjusting, "Piston Pump (Main) - Test".
Note: If the operational checks indicate that slow speed of an implement is common to both pump
circuits, the problem may be in the engine, the fuel, or the working altitude.

Measured flow x 1800 rpm
Corrected flow

measured rpm
Note: Specifications for output flow rates are based on a power shift pressure at the pump of 1270
50 kPa (185 7.5 psi). The output flow rate changes approximately 10 L/min (1.8 US gpm) for each
100 kPa (14 psi) of power shift pressure in the lower range of the constant horsepower control. The
output flow rate changes approximately 3 L/min (0.8 US gpm) for each 100 kPa (14 psi) of power
shift pressure in the higher range of the constant horsepower control.
Note: If the output flow rate of the pump is not within the specification, disconnect the negative flow
control line from the pump that is being tested and perform the test again.
Note: Flow measurements must be done only during pressure rise.

Note: Pressure values in Table 3 are approximate values. Use a pressure gauge for adjustment.
Note: Normal operations of the engine and pumps are necessary for the pressure adjustments. If the
results of the pressure adjustment are not correct, then the engine and the pump characteristic curve
needs to be checked. Slow output flow from the pump is an indication of air in the hydraulic system.
Make sure that no air is present in the hydraulic system. Refer to Testing And Adjusting, "Main
Hydraulic Pump Air - Purge".
