open before starting the engine.

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.

1. Position the machine on level ground.

2. Stop the engine.

3. Release the pressure in the hydraulic system. Refer to Testing And Adjusting, "Hydraulic System
Pressure - Release".

h. Install 6000 kPa (870 psi) pressure gauge (11) at pressure tap (10) on pilot oil manifold (9) .

5. Start the engine.

6. Place the machine controls at the following settings: Power Mode, engine speed dial "10" and AEC
switch OFF. Make reference to Testing And Adjusting, "Operational Checks" for engine rpm settings.

7. Place the hydraulic activation control lever in the UNLOCKED position.

8. Increase the hydraulic oil temperature to 55° ± 5°C (131° ± 9°F).

9. Check the pilot relief valve setting at pressure gauge (11). The pressure gauge should show a reading of
4100 ± 200 kPa (595 ± 29 psi). If the pilot relief valve setting is not within the specification, adjust pilot
relief valve (15). Refer to Testing and Adjusting, "Relief Valve (Pilot) - Test and Adjust" for adjustment
procedures for the pilot relief valve.

10. Turn valve (16) on portable hydraulic tester (7) clockwise until pressure gauge (11) at pressure tap (10)
shows a reading of 4100 ± 200 kPa (595 ± 29 psi).

11. Record the pilot pump flow at 4100 ± 200 kPa (595 ± 29 psi) in Table 1.

Note: Specifications for pump flow are based on an engine speed of 1800 rpm. To get more accurate test
results, measured flow should be corrected by the following calculation.
