2.
Connect two 60000 kPa (8700 psi) pressure gauges to
pressure test ports (2) and (3).
3.
Start the engine and run the engine at full throttle.
4.
Release the parking brake.
5.
Move the speed selection switch to the HIGH SPEED
position.
6.
Move the propel control lever to the full FORWARD
direction and the full REVERSE direction. Read the
pressure gauges. The pressure at both gauges should
peak at 48000 ± 1700 kPa (6960 ± 250 psi).
7.
At this pressure, the drum and the wheels should not
move.
8.
If the drum and the wheels move, refer to Propel
System Troubleshooting in order to diagnose the
problem.

to collect and contain fluids in Caterpillar machines.
Dispose of all fluids according to local regulations and
mandates.
Before conducting the testing and adjusting on the servo valve,
the following steps must be followed:
Apply the parking brake.
Place the propel control lever in neutral.
Place the machine in a position against a solid,
stationary object such as a loading dock.
NOTE:
Perform this test on both of the propel pumps.
