PUMP ASSY 0947532 - Caterpillar

Ensure that all instructions that are outlined in the Towing Information are carefully followed.Stopped Engine
You can move the machine when the engine is not operable. You must use a brake release pump.Consult your Caterpillar dealer for the equipment that is necessary for towing a disabled machine.The pressure hose from the pump connects to the brake valve. The pump takes oil from the sump of the brake release pump. Then, the pump pressurizes the brake piston cavity in order to release the brake.Note: This machine is free to move. This machine is free to roll away and this machine has no braking ability when both brakes have been released.Connection of Brake Release Pump

Possible brake piston seal damage could result without checking relief valve. Opening pressure must be checked and adjusted before connection is made.
The main pressure hose connects to the FT1973 Adapter Group (1) and the two 123-0526 Adapters (7). Plug the pressure hose at the connection.
Turn the handle of the bypass valve (5) to the closed position.
While you are pumping the handle (4), observe the opening pressure of the relief valve (3) .
Adjust the opening pressure of the relief valve. Set the pressure to 3030 70 kPa (440 10 psi).Connection for the Pump
Remove the floorplate in order to access the steering valve ports before you proceed.

(8) Steering Valve (9) Steering Valve Ports
Remove the fittings from the top of the steering valve ports (9) .
Install the 123-0526 Adapters (7) into the ports of the steering valve (8) .
Route the pressure hose under the floorplate in the cab. Then route the pressure hose to the pump. The pump is temporarily on the platform.
Replace the floorplate.
Place the pump group in front of the operator.
Move the parking brake switch to the DISENGAGED position.
Fasten the seat belt. Continue to the next topic.Brake Release

(4) Bypass valve handle
Turn the bypass valve handle (4) to the CLOSED position.
Initially, rapidly move the pump handle. This will produce a large volume of oil flow.
The brake piston seal must be fully seated. Seating the seal is evident by a sudden rise in the oil pressure.When the seal is properly seated, the pressure rises to the maximum.
The machine can now be towed.
Do not allow pressure to drop below 2756 kPa (400 psi) while towing.Partial brake engagement could occur and can result in brake damage.Brakes must be fully released when towed machine is moving.
Brake Engagement
Do not use the machine brakes to slow or stop the machine. Extensive brake
