Machine Preparation for Testing and Adjusting

SMCS - 5050-081

Refer to the following warnings for all inspections and tests of the vibratory system. If the source of
the problem is not determined, perform the inspections and tests. Perform the inspections and tests in
sequential order. For all tests, the vibratory system oil must be at normal operating temperature.

Sudden movement of the machine or release of oil under pressure can

cause injury to persons on or near the machine.

To prevent possible injury, perform the procedure that follows before

testing and adjusting the vibratory system.

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.

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, "Dealer Service Tool

Catalog" for tools and supplies suitable to collect and contain fluids on
Cat products.

Dispose of all fluids according to local regulations and mandates.

1. Move the machine to a smooth, horizontal location that is away from operating machines and
away from personnel.

Note: Permit only one operator on the machine. Keep all other personnel away from the
machine or in the operator's sight.

2. Engage the parking brake. Place blocks around the wheels and around the drum.

3. Stop the engine.

4. Make sure that all of the hydraulic pressure is released before any of the hydraulic components
are altered.

During a diagnosis of the hydraulic system, remember that correct oil flow and pressure are necessary
for correct operation. The output of the pump (oil flow) increases with an increase in engine speed
(rpm) and decreases when engine speed (rpm) is decreased. Oil pressure is caused by resistance to the
flow of oil.

The 4C-4892 ORFS Fittings Group can be used to make pressure tests on the vibratory system.
Before any tests are made, visually inspect the complete hydraulic system for leakage of oil and for
parts that are damaged. For some of the tests, a magnet and a measuring rule are usable tools.

When any test is made of the vibratory system, the hydraulic oil must be at the normal temperature for
operation.

Troubleshooting can be complex. A list of some of the possible problems and corrections are on the
following pages.

This list of possible problems and possible corrections will only provide an indication of the location
of a problem and the repairs that are required. Remember that a problem is not necessarily caused by
one part, but by the relation of one part with other parts. This list can not provide all possible
problems and corrections. Service personnel must find the problem and the source of the problem.
Then, complete the necessary repairs.

Perform a visual inspection first. If the visual checks are completed but the problem has not been
identified, perform operational checks. If the problem is not understood, perform instrument tests.
This procedure will help to identify vibratory system problems.
