1. Turn the engine start switch to the ON position. The alert indicator for brake oil pressure should come on if the braking system is not at normal operating pressure.

2. Start the engine. Run the engine at half speed for 2 minutes in order to increase the accumulator pressure. The alert indicator for brake oil pressure should go off.

3. Stop the engine by turning the machine start switch to off. Wait 5 seconds then turn machine start switch to on, but do not start the engine. Wait for the display monitor to go through

startup, key on level checks, and operator selection. Apply the service brakes (fully depress the pedal) for a duration of one second. Release the pedal for a duration of one second. Repeat the application and release process until the alert indicator for brake oil presure comes on. This will decrease the accumulator pressure. A minimum of five applications of the service brake pedal are required.

4. If the alert indicator comes on after less than five applications of the brake, measure the accumulator precharge pressure. An authorized Caterpillar dealer can measure the nitrogen gas pressure in the accumulator. Use only dry nitrogen gas for recharging.

• Check the area around the machine. Make sure that the machine is clear of personnel and clear of obstacles.

• Make sure that the steering frame lock is in the unlocked position.

The following tests are used to determine whether the braking system is functional. These tests are not intended to measure the maximum brake holding effort. The required brake holding effort for sustaining a machine at a specific engine rpm varies from one machine to another machine. The variations include differences in the engine setting, the power train efficiency, the brake holding ability, etc.

Service Brake Holding Ability Test

Personal injury can result if the machine moves while testing.

If the machine begins to move during test, reduce the engine speed immediately and engage the parking brake.

1. Start the engine. Raise the implement slightly. Apply the service brake. Release the parking brake.

2. Move the transmission control to THIRD SPEED FORWARD while the service brakes are applied. Make sure that the autoshift control is in the OFF position.

3. Gradually increase the engine speed to high idle. The machine should not move.

4. Reduce the engine speed to low idle. Move the transmission direction control to the NEUTRAL position. Engage the parking brake. Lower the implement to the ground. Stop the engine.

If the machine moved during the test, consult your Caterpillar dealer for a brake inspection. Make any necessary repairs before the machine is returned to operation.

Parking Brake Holding Ability Test

Personal injury can result if the machine moves while testing.

If the machine begins to move, reduce the engine speed immediately and apply the service brake pedal.

This test is performed when the parking brake is engaged. If the machine begins to move, compare the engine rpm to the engine rpm of a prior test. This will indicate the amount of system deterioration.

1. Start the engine. Raise the implement slightly. Engage the parking brake.

2. Move the transmission control to THIRD SPEED FORWARD. Make sure that the autoshift control is in the OFF position.

The parking brake indicator light should come on.

3. Gradually increase the engine speed to high idle. The machine should not move.

4. Reduce the engine speed to low idle. Move the transmission direction control to the NEUTRAL position. Lower the implement to the ground. Stop the engine.

If the machine moved during the test, consult your Caterpillar dealer for a brake inspection. Make any necessary repairs before the machine is returned to operation.
