ELBOW 4N9598 - Caterpillar

Escaping fluid under pressure, even a pinhole size leak, can penetrate body tissue, causing 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 if two persons are not used in the following procedure.
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.

Steering frame in locked position
Move steering frame lock to the LOCKED position. Test Procedure
Stop the engine. Place the transmission direction selector in the NEUTRAL position.
Engage the parking brake.
Depress the brake pedal repeatedly in order to release all oil pressure from the brake circuit.

Brake Control Valve
(1) Test port for Front Service Brakes
(2) Test port for Rear Service Brakes
Remove the protective cap from test port (2) in order to test the oil pressure of the rear service brakes. Install a 0 to 16000 kPa (0 to 2300 psi) pressure gauge.
Look at the pressure gauge. Before you start the engine, the oil pressure must be at the pressure of the hydraulic oil tank.
Start the engine and allow the hydraulic oil to reach normal operating temperature and normal operating pressure.
Hold down the brake pedal and look at the pressure gauge. The brake pressure should be at 8687 + 450 - 350 kPa (1260 + 65 - 50 psi).
If the brake pressure is not in the correct range but the brake accumulator charging valve is functioning correctly, replace the brake control valve.
Repeat this procedure at test port (1) in order to test the oil pressure of the front service brakes.
Repeat Step 1 through Step 9 for the rear brake valve. The rear brake pressure should be 8790 350 kPa (1275 50 psi).
