Personal injury or death can result from escaping fluid under pressure.
Escaping fluid under pressure, even a very small pin-hole size leak, can
penetrate body tissue and cause serious injury and possible death. If
fluid is injected into your skin, it must be treated immediately by a
doctor familiar with this type of injury.
Always use a board or cardboard when checking for a leak.
Personal injury or death can result from machine articulation or
movement.
Machine frames can move and a person can be crushed.
Connect the steering frame lock link between the front and rear frames
before working on machine.

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 Dealer Service
Tool Catalog" for tools and supplies suitable to collect and contain
fluids on Caterpillar products.
Dispose of all fluids according to local regulations and mandates.
Note: Use the information in the reference to prepare the machine for this test. Also, use the information
in the reference to relieve any hydraulic pressure that may be in the steering system.
Reference: For the correct procedure to relieve any hydraulic oil pressure that may be in the steering
system, refer to the Service Manual module for Testing and Adjusting, "Machine Preparation for
Troubleshooting" for the machine that is being serviced.

4. Attach a 0 to 4000 kPa (0 to 580 psi) pressure gauge to pressure tap (2). Pressure tap (2) is located
on the right side of the machine and in front of the steering control valve. Pressure tap (2) is pilot
pressure for left steering.
5. Start the engine. Operate the engine at high idle. Move the tilt control lever to the TILT BACK
position in order to increase the temperature of the oil to normal operating temperature. The oil is
at normal operating temperature when the hydraulic oil temperature indicator is between the first
mark and the second mark.
6. After the oil has reached normal operating temperature, position the bucket and any attachments
slightly off the ground. Run the engine at low idle.
Note: During the following step, do not keep the steering pump at stall condition for more than
ten seconds. If necessary, release the steering wheel and wait for 30 seconds before you repeat the
step.
7. In order to obtain a reliable pressure reading, turn the steering wheel counterclockwise to the
FULLY TURNED position.
8. Record the pressure reading on the pressure gauge.
9. Run the engine at high idle. Repeat Steps 7 and 8.
10. The recorded pressures should not be below 1650 kPa (240 psi).
11. Stop the engine. Lower the bucket and any attachments to the ground.
12. Relieve the hydraulic oil pressure. Use the reference at the beginning of this procedure to relieve
any hydraulic oil pressure.
13. Remove the pressure gauge from pressure tap (2) .
14. Install the pressure gauge to pressure tap (3). Pressure tap (3) is located on the right side of the
machine to the left of the steering control valve.
15. Run the engine at low idle.
Note: During the following step, do not keep the steering pump at stall condition for more than
ten seconds. If necessary, release the steering wheel and wait for 30 seconds before you repeat the
step.
16. In order to obtain a reliable pressure reading, turn the steering wheel clockwise to the FULLY
TURNED position.
17. Record the pressure reading on the pressure gauge.
18. Run the engine at high idle. Repeat Steps 16 and 17.
19. The recorded pressures should not be below 1650 kPa (240 psi).

20. Stop the engine. Lower the bucket and any attachments to the ground.
21. Relieve the hydraulic oil pressure. Use the reference at the beginning of this procedure to relieve
any hydraulic oil pressure.
22. Remove the pressure gauge from pressure tap (3) .
