Release Of Hydraulic Pressure From Multiple Hydraulic

Circuits
Personal injury can result from hydraulic oil pressure and hot oil.
Hydraulic oil pressure can remain in the hydraulic system after the
engine has been stopped. Serious injury can be caused if this pressure is
not released before any service is done on the hydraulic system.
Make sure all of the work tools have been lowered to the ground, and
the oil is cool before removing any components or lines. Remove the oil
filler cap only when the engine is stopped, and the filler cap is cool
enough to touch with your bare hand.
NOTICE
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.
Perform the following Steps in order to release the hydraulic pressure from multiple hydraulic circuits
of the main hydraulic system.
1. Position the machine on level ground.
Illustration 1 g00666865
2. Fully retract the stick cylinder rod. Adjust the position of the bucket so that the bucket is
parallel to the ground. Lower the boom until the bucket is flat on the ground. Refer to
Illustration 1.
3. Shut off the engine.
4. Turn the engine start switch to the ON position without starting the engine.
5. Place the hydraulic activation control lever in the UNLOCKED position.
6. Move only the joysticks or the pedals of the hydraulic circuit that requires service to the FULL
STROKE positions. This will release the high pressure only in that hydraulic circuit. This will
also release any pressure that might be present in the pilot hydraulic circuit.
Note: If the hydraulic circuit that requires service requires the activation of a switch for
operation, activate the necessary switches for the operation of the hydraulic circuit.
7. Place the hydraulic activation control lever in the LOCKED position.
8. Start the engine.
9. Place the hydraulic activation control lever in the UNLOCKED position. Do not move any
joysticks or pedals from the NEUTRAL position during this step. Do not activate any
switches during this Step.
10. Return the hydraulic activation control lever to the LOCKED position.
11. Shut off the engine.
12. Repeat Steps 4 through 11 for each additional hydraulic circuit that requires service.
13. After releasing the hydraulic pressure in each of the desired hydraulic circuits, place the
hydraulic activation control lever in the LOCKED position.
14. Turn the engine start switch to the OFF position.
15. Slowly loosen the filler plug on the hydraulic tank and release the pressure. Leave the filler
plug loose for a minimum of 45 seconds. This will release the pressure that may be present in
the return hydraulic circuit.
16. Tighten the filler plug on the hydraulic tank to the specified torque.
17. The pressure in the multiple hydraulic circuits that require service is now released and lines and
components can be disconnected or removed from those hydraulic circuits.
