TRANSMISSION AR 10R9506 - Caterpillar

Brakes
Test The Brakes
1. Start the engine.2. Raise all lowered equipment. 3. Depress the brake pedal.4. Release the parking brake.5. With the brake pedal applied, engage the transmission into 3rd speed forward.6. Gradually increase the engine speed to full load speed. The machine must not move.
If the machine moves during the test, reduce the engine speed immediately, and apply the parking brake. If the machine moved while testing the brakes, consult your Caterpillar dealer for brake inspection and repair. Damaged brakes must be repaired before returning the machine to operation.
7. Reduce the engine speed to LOW IDLE. Engage the parking brake. Lower the implements to the ground. Apply a slight down pressure. Stop the engine.Tracks
Adjust The Tracks
Grease is under high pressure. Grease coming out of the relief valve under pressure can penetrate the body causing injury or death.Do not watch the relief valve to see if grease is escaping. Watch the track or track adjustment cylinder to see if the track is being loosened.Loosen the relief valve one turn only.
Move the machine forward and allow it to stop without applying the brake pedal. Tracks should be adjusted under the same conditions in which the machine will be used. If packing conditions prevail on the job, the tracks should be adjusted with packing present. The sag in the track is measured between the sprocket and the front idler. Correct adjustment gives a dimension (2) of 100 10 mm (3.94 .40 inches).
Do not attempt to tighten track when dimension (1) is 105 mm (4.13 inches) or more. Contact your Caterpillar dealer for track service or instructions.
If Track is Too Loose:1. Remove the adjusting valve cover plate. 2. Add grease (MPGM) through the adjusting valve (3) until dimension (2) is correct.3. Operate the machine back and forth to equalize the pressure. Allow the machine to coast to a stop. Do not use the brakes.4. Remeasure dimension (2).If Track is too Tight:1. Loosen the relief valve (4) one turn only and allow the grease to escape.2. Close the relief valve.3. Add grease (MPGM) through the adjusting valve (3) until dimension (2) is correct.4. Install the valve cover plate.5. Repeat procedure on other track.Track Shoe Bolt Torque
The torque requirement for track shoe bolts is 170 40 N m (120 30 lb ft) plus an extra 1/3 turn (120°). For split master link bolts, torque to 170 40 N m (120 30 lb ft) plus an extra 1/2 turn (180°).Coolant Conditioner
Add Conditioner
At operating temperature, the engine coolant is hot and under pressure. Steam can cause personal injury.Check the coolant level only after the engine has been stopped and the fill cap is cool enough to touch with your bare hand.Remove the fill cap slowly to relieve pressure.Cooling system conditioner contains alkali. Avoid contact with the skin and eyes to prevent personal injury.
All water is corrosive at engine operating temperature. Use Caterpillar coolant conditioner to treat either plain water or ethylene glycol antifreeze solution. Excessive coolant conditioner (greater than the
