PANEL ASSEMBLY 2V2455 - Caterpillar

Test Procedure
Sudden movement of the machine or release of oil under pressure can cause serious injury to persons on or near the machine.To prevent possible injury, perform the procedure that follows before testing and adjusting the hydraulic system.
Injury to personnel can result if they are not in the operator's view. Allow only essential personnel near the machine, and make sure the personnel are in the operator's view when testing, to prevent injury. Make sure checks are done in an open area.
Perform the following procedure before you perform the test procedure that follows:
Park the machine on a level area that is clear from all equipment and material.
Verify that the service brake system and the parking brake system are in good working order.
Clear all personnel from the area that is surrounding the machine.
Apply the parking brake.
To prevent injury or death, never work under a machine while a test is being performed.
Personal injury or death can result from lifting a heavy component.The heavy component can fall if using an incorrect hoist and/or sling or fastener to lift the load.Be sure the hoist and other devices have the correct lifting capacity to lift a heavy component. The approximate weight of the heavy component is given below.
Table 3
AP-655C Asphalt Paver with 8-16B Extend-A-Mat Screed    
Approximate Weight    
18500 kg (40800 lb)    
Maximum Length    
7 m (23.11 ft)    
Width    
3.5 m (11.1 ft)    
Height    
3.5 m (11.1 ft)    Note: There are two identical propel pumps on the machine. One pump is for the right propel and one pump is for the left propel. This test should be performed on both sides of the machine. If you notice that there is a difference in performance on both sides of the machine, a synchronization may need to be performed. Refer to Test and Adjust Procedure, "Pump Synchronization - Test and Adjust" in order to synchronize the propel pumps.
Raise the machine. Use the appropriate lifting equipment and heed the warnings within this test. Use equipment that is authorized by Caterpillar dealers only. The equipment must be rated for the weight of the machine. Table 3 is listed above for a reference of weight and dimension of the AP-655C Ashaplt Paver. Both of the tracks should be off of the ground for this test.
