Important Safety Information

Most accidents that involve product operation, maintenance and repair are caused by failure to observe
basic safety rules or precautions. An accident can often be avoided by recognizing potentially hazardous
situations before an accident occurs. A person must be alert to potential hazards. This person should also
have the necessary training, skills and tools to perform these functions properly.
Improper operation, lubrication, maintenance or repair of this product can be dangerous and
could result in injury or death.
Do not operate or perform any lubrication, maintenance or repair on this product, until you have
read and understood the operation, lubrication, maintenance and repair information.
Safety precautions and warnings are provided in this manual and on the product. If these hazard warnings
are not heeded, bodily injury or death could occur to you or to other persons.
The hazards are identified by the “Safety Alert Symbol” and followed by a “Signal Word” such as
“DANGER”, “WARNING” or “CAUTION”. The Safety Alert “WARNING” label is shown below.
The meaning of this safety alert symbol is as follows:

Attention! Become Alert! Your Safety is Involved.
The message that appears under the warning explains the hazard and can be either written or pictorially
presented.
A non-exhaustive list of operations that may cause product damage are identified by “NOTICE” labels
on the product and in this publication.
Caterpillar cannot anticipate every possible circumstance that might involve a potential hazard.
The warnings in this publication and on the product are, therefore, not all inclusive. You must
not use this product in any manner different from that considered by this manual without first
satisfying yourself that you have considered all safety rules and precautions applicable to the
operation of the product in the location of use, including site-specific rules and precautions
applicable to the worksite. If a tool, procedure, work method or operating technique that is not
specifically recommended by Caterpillar is used, you must satisfy yourself that it is safe for you
and for others. You should also ensure that the product will not be damaged or become unsafe by
the operation, lubrication, maintenance or repair procedures that you intend to use.
The information, specifications, and illustrations in this publication are on the basis of information that
was available at the time that the publication was written. The specifications, torques, pressures,
measurements, adjustments, illustrations, and other items can change at any time. These changes can
affect the service that is given to the product. Obtain the complete and most current information before you
start any job. CAT dealers have the most current information available.
When replacement parts are required for this

product Caterpillar recommends using CAT
replacement parts or parts with equivalent spec-
ifications including, but not limited to, physical
dimensions, type, strength and material.
Failure to heed this warning can lead to prema-

ture failures, product damage, personal injury or
death.
In the United States, the maintenance, replacement, or repair of the emission control devices and
systems may be performed by any repair establishment or individual of the owner's choosing.

Daily Inspection
SMCS Code: 3030
For maximum service life of the transmission, make a

thorough walk-around inspection before you operate
the transmission.
Look around the transmission and under the

transmission. Inspect the condition of all major
components. The major components are listed in the
delivery inspection checklist.
Remove any trash and any debris. Report any

condition that requires service. Make sure that any
necessary repairs are completed before you operate
the transmission.
Perform all daily service requirements at the

beginning of each shift. Refer to the Operation and
Maintenance Manual for the procedures.

Converter Drive Indicator

The Converter Drive Indicator feature will turn on a
lamp (amber) when the transmission is in converter
drive. The lamp will turn off when the transmission
lockup clutch is engaged.
Lockup Clutch Cycle Timer

To prevent stalling the engine, the torque converter
lockup clutch is automatically cycled off when engine
speed drops below the disengagement speed.
The lockup clutch will attempt to re-engage when
conditions for LUC engagement are met. LUC may
cycle off and on repeatedly when the following
operating conditions occur: engine speeds near the
LUC disengagement speed and at conditions which
lug the engine below the LUC disengagement speed.
The transmission will be forced to downshift one gear
to protect the LUC from overheating if the following
condition occurs: the LUC cycles off and on more
than five times in a 60 second period in the selected
gear range. To resume normal shifting after a LUC
protect downshift, the gear selector must first be
downshifted to match the current transmission gear.
The LUC cycle limiter is disabled in “1F” in order to
avoid downshifting to neutral.
Lockup Clutch Disable

To allow for fracturing pump pressure testing in
torque converter drive, a lockup clutch disable feature
is provided. The lockup clutch may be disabled via
a J1939 controller command or by a hard wired
switch depending on the OEMs preference. This
feature disables the LUC in all ranges, but must be
initiated while in Park , Neutral, or Stall. To prevent
the transmission from operating continuously with the
switch in the pressure test position, a Transmission
Abuse Event shall be logged if the transmission
is operating in converter drive for more than 30

applications using a switch to enable this feature, a
fault in this circuit will trigger a diagnostic code. This
diagnostic code will limit the transmission to Neutral

• Plastic particles give an indication of thrust washer

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 doc-

Always use a board or cardboard when checking

for a leak.

There are filter inlet and filter outlet pressure taps

located on the transmission filter base. Refer to
Illustration 36. The inlet pressure tap is also a
dual purpose scheduled oil sampling (SOS) port
(designated by a purple dust cap). Use this port when
sampling oil for SOS purposes. In order to prevent
damage to the seal in the port and a subsequent
leak, use 169-8373 Fluid Sampling Bottle when
using the fluid sampling port.
Use the following procedure to obtain an SOS oil

sample.
1. Start the engine. Warm up the oil until the oil

reaches 47° C (116° F).
2. Ensure that the transmission control is in the

NEUTRAL position and place the throttle in the
LOW IDLE position.
3. Remove the dust cap. Obtain an oil sample from

the SOS tap using 169-8373 Fluid Sampling
Bottle.
4. Stop the engine.
5. Check the hydraulic filter element for foreign

materials.
6. Replace the hydraulic filter element.
Refer to the transmissions Operation and

Maintenance Manual, “S·O·S Information” for more
information about scheduled oil sampling and
scheduled oil sampling analysis.
Refer to Special Publication, PEHP6001, “How To

Take A Good Oil Sample” for more information about
obtaining a sample of oil.
