Component Location
This illustration shows the basic component locations on the 994F. The component locations on
the 994F are basically the same as the 994D but are restated in this presentation as a reminder.
Power for the 994F is supplied by the 3516B High Displacement (HD) engine. The engine is
connected to the rear pump drive with a spring coupling. Power flows from the rear pump
drive to the torque converter, to the input drive shaft, and through the input transfer gear to the
transmission. Power from the transmission flows through the output transfer gears to the drive
shafts, to the bevel gears in the differentials, and then to the double reduction final drives.
The 994F also has an auxiliary drive shaft that turns the front pump drive. The front pump
drive is located in the Non Engine End Frame (NEEF).
The secondary steering pump is splined to the output transfer gears. The secondary steering
pump is ground driven.

Similarities and Differences
This illustration compares the basic features of the 994F to the previous 994D. The chart
illustrates if the features are different, similar, or the same. The major systems on the 994F are
similiar to the 994D.
The machine appearance and the implement hydraulic system are basically the same as the
994D with the addition of a variable displacement piston pump in tandem with the center fixed
displacement piston pump on the front pump drive. The main relief pressure have been
increased from 30360 kPa (4700 psi) on the 994D to 32775 kPa (4750 psi) on the 994F. Access
to the implement pump case drain filters and the transmission and torque converter filters has
improved from the previous version of the 994D. The 994F is installed with a lift linkage
position sensor supporting in the cab control of the variable lift kickouts. Also, the 994F is
equipped with remote pressure taps for the various hydraulic systems.

The 994F is equipped with a 3516B HD EUI as compared to the 3516B EUI in the 994D. The
new engine delivers 1,436 horse power, an increase of 14%. The 994F features new
turbocharges, high-capacity air filters, and dual 80-amp alternators. The dual alternators
promote faster engine response and increase fuel efficiency. The 994F has both starter and
transmission lockout switches and engine shutoff switch at ground level for easy access. Also,
the 994F has the option of installing the Caterpillar Oil Renewal System (ORS) which offers a
means to reduce oil changes and increased machine availability.
The power train difference between the 994D and 994F is the removal of the free wheel stator
and the torque converter outlet relief valve. The 994F power train is now equipped with two
added air-to-oil coolers in order to increase cooling of the power train system. The 994F has a
fully modulated impeller clutch torque converter with flexibility of reducing rimpull using the
left brake pedal. The pedal fully modulates the rimpull through the range of 100% to 25%.
Also, the 994F power train has remote pressure taps installed.
The braking system on the 994F has increased increased circuit pressure and now features split
control system.
The operator station on the 994F now has a new and larger cab with an approximate 75dBa
sound level. A new Caterpillar seat with state of the art suspension is installed. Also, the cab
has a trainer sear with a padded seat and back. The new cab has 50% more glass area
increasing visibilty. The 994F retains the steering and transmission integrated control (STIC)
power train which enables the operator to use small movements of a single hand to steer the
machine and make direction/gear changes.
The 994F is equipped with the latest Vital Information Management System (VIMS) that is
similiar to the 994D.
The maintenance items on the 994F are similar to the 994D. The major changes in the
maintenance are access to the filters on the 994F.

Electrical Block Diagram
This block diagram of the engine electrical system shows the components that are mounted on
the engine which provide input signals to and receive output signals from the Engine Electronic
Control Module (ECM).
Based on the input signals, the Engine ECM energizes the injector solenoid valves to control
fuel delivery to the engine, and the cooling fan proportional solenoid valve to adjust pressure to
the cooling fan clutch.
The two machine interface connectors provide electrical connections from the engine to the
machine including the Cat Data Link.
Some of the components connected to the Engine ECM through the machine interface
connectors are: the throttle pedal position sensor, the throttle lock switches, the throttle lock
enabled indicator, the right brake pedal switch, the ether start control solenoid, and the ground
level shutdown switch.

Input Components:
Speed timing sensor - The speed timing sensor sends a fixed voltage level, signal to the
Engine ECM in order to determine the engine speed, direction, and timing.
Oil level switch - The oil level switch (lower) is a float type switch mounted in the side of the
engine oil sump. The Engine ECM monitors the engine oil level switch to alert the operator
when the oil level is low.
Coolant flow switch - The coolant flow switch mounts in the coolant passage near the engine
coolant pump. When the coolant is flowing past the switch the paddle moves and closes the
switch contacts. The Engine ECM alerts the operator when there is no coolant flow while the
engine is running.
Exhaust temperature sensors - The exhaust temperature sensors have an analog to digital
converter that provides a Pulse Width Modulated (PWM) signal.
Cooling fan speed sensor, permanent timing calibration sensor - These speed sensors are
passive speed sensors that provide a signal similar to a sine wave that varies in amplitude and
frequency as speed increases. The permanent timing calibration sensor monitors the speed and
position of the flywheel.
Jacket water temperature sensor, aftercooler coolant temperature sensor - These
temperature sensors are analog temperature sensors that provide a voltage signal to the Engine
ECM.
Crankcase, atmospheric, turbocharger outlet, filtered and unfiltered oil, left and right
turbocharger inlet pressure sensors - These sensors are analog sensors that provide a voltage
signal to the Engine ECM. The voltage varies to a level that corresponds with a calibrated
pressure. The Engine ECM calibrates the pressure sensors to the atmospheric pressure when
the key switch is moved to ON position for 3 seconds without the engine running.

This illustration shows the two engine oil level switches. Both switches are normally open
when installed for this application. Level switch (3) communicates with the Engine ECM. This
switch opens the circuit when the oil level is below the neccessary level. Level switch (2)
communicates with the VIMS module. The level switch signals that oil should be added to the
engine. If the machine is equipped with the optional Oil Renewal System, the level switch (2)
will disable the Oil Renewal System when the oil level is below the switch.

The illustration that is above shows the location of the Engine ECM (2) and the atmospheric
pressure sensor (1).
The engine ECM is an ADEMIII is equipped two 70 pin connectors.
The Engine ECM (2) is mounted on the engine on the right side of the machine. The engine
ECM is accessed from under the machine.
The Engine ECM makes decisions based on control program information in memory, switch
inputs, analog input signals and sensor input signals.
The Engine ECM responds to machine control decisions by sending a signal voltage to the
appropriate circuit which creates an action. For example, as the operator depresses the throttle
pedal. The Engine ECM interprets the input signal from the throttle pedal position sensor,
evaluates the engine status and sends a signal to the injectors to increase fuel.
The Engine ECM receives three different types of input signals:
1. Switch input: Provides the signal line to battery, ground, or open.
2. PWM input: Provides the signal line with a square wave of a specific frequency and a
varying positive duty cycle.
3. Speed signal: Provides the signal line with either a repeating, fixed voltage level pattern
signal or a sine wave of varying level and frequency.

Fuel is pulled from the tank through a fuel heater, if equipped, and through the primary fuel
filter by the fuel transfer pump. Fuel flows from the transfer pump through the Engine ECM to
the secondary fuel filters.
Fuel flows from the fuel filter base through the fuel injectors in the cylinder heads. Return fuel
from the injectors flows through the fuel pressure regulator before returning through the fuel
heater to the fuel tank.
Engine oil flows from the engine block through an oil filter to the engine oil renewal system
manifold. A small amount of oil flows from the engine oil renewal system manifold into the
return side of the fuel pressure regulator. The engine oil returns to the fuel tank with the return
fuel.
The engine oil mixes with the fuel in the tank and flows with the fuel to the injectors to be
burned.

Engine Oil System
The engine oil pump draws oil from the oil pan through a screen. The engine also has a
scavenge pump at the rear of the engine to transfer oil from the rear of the oil pan to the main
sump.
Oil flows from the pump through an engine oil cooler bypass valve to the engine oil cooler.
The bypass valve for the engine oil cooler permits oil flow to the system during cold starts
when the oil is thick or if the cooler is plugged. Oil flows from the engine oil cooler to the oil
filters. The oil flows through the filters and enters the engine cylinder block to clean, cool and
lubricate the internal components and the turbochargers.
Some trucks are equipped with an optional engine oil renewal system. Engine oil flows from
the engine block through an oil filter to an engine oil renewal system manifold. A small
amount of oil flows from the engine oil renewal system manifold into the return side of the fuel
pressure regulator. The engine oil returns to the fuel tank with the return fuel

Throttle Lock Circuit
The Throttle Lock feature is very similar to a cruise control system used on automotive and
truck applications. The main difference is that this system uses engine speed as its reference
instead of vehicle speed. Therefore, engine speed is maintained, unlike other applications
which control ground speed.
The Throttle Lock control is within the ECM. The other components are:
- Throttle Lock Enable Switch
- Set/Deceleration Switch
- Resume/Acceleration Switch
- Right Brake Pedal Switch
- Throttle Lock lamp does not communicate with the engine ECM. The Throttle Lock
Lamp ON/OFF is controlled by the Throttle Lock Enable Switch.

Exhaust Temperature Derate: The engine power will be derated when the turbine inlet
temperatures reach a critical level that may cause engine damage. The Engine ECM measures
the turbo inlet temperatures using the signals from the left and right exhaust temperature
sensors.
In the illustration above, 0% engine derate equates to a temperature of 750 C (1382 F) or
below with 15 seconds as the trigger for the derate.
When the highest of the right or left turbine inlet temperatures goes above 750 C (1382 F) for
15 seconds, the torque map is reduced by 2%. If the measured temperature does not return to
below 750 C (1382 F) within 15 second interval, the torque map will be reduced by 2%. This
will continue in 2% steps with each step lasting 15 seconds until the temperature drops below
750 C or the maximum derate of 20% is reached. The last derate level reached will remain
active until the engine is powered down.
If the condition reoccurs and the Engine ECM has not been powered down, the fuel will be
limited in the same manner starting from the previous derate level.
If a failure is detected in either the left or right exhaust temperature sensor circuits, the Engine
ECM will default to the maximum derate value of 20%. An exhaust temperature derate
occurrence will log an Engine Event in the Engine ECM that requires a Level 3 password to
clear.

Altitude Compensation Derate: The Engine ECM derates engine power according to
operating altitude in order to reduce exhaust temperatures. The engine ECM calculates the
operating altitude of the machine based on the signal received from the atmospheric pressure
sensor.
The Engine ECM derates the engine power approximately 3% per 305 m (1000 ft) when the
machine is operated above 3050 m (10,000 ft). The maximum altitude derate for the engine is
24% at 5180m (17,000 ft).
Altitude compensation derate does not log an event in the Engine ECM.

Air Inlet Restriction Derate: The Engine ECM derates engine power when the air inlet or
filter becomes plugged and restricts air available for combustion resulting in elevated exhaust
temperatures. The above illustration shows the engine derates in relation to the air inlet
restriction.
The Engine ECM determines inlet air restriction by subtracting the turbocharger inlet air
pressure that is measured by the turbocharger inlet air pressure sensors from the atmospheric air
pressure.
The Engine ECM derates the power by 1% when the inlet air restriction reaches 6.5kPa (25
inches of water). The engine will default to a maximum derate of 20% if the Engine ECM
detects a fault in the circuits for the left or right turbocharger inlet pressure sensors or the
atmospheric pressure sensor.
An air inlet restriction event will be logged in the Engine ECM when the engine starts derating.
A password is not required to clear an air inlet restriction event.
NOTE: Multiple engine derate percentages can add up and result in a total engine power derate
greater than 20%.

COOLING SYSTEM
This illustration shows the flow of the engine coolant through the radiator, the engine, the oil
coolers, and the Separate Circuit After Cooler (SCAC) coolant through the after coolers.
The 994F has been updated with Next Generation Modular Radiator (NGMR) cores for the
engine coolant and the SCAC.
Hot engine coolant from the engine enters the half of the bottom tank that is closest to the rear
of the machine. The coolant flows up through the dual pass radiator cores, then down through
the same cores and enters the half of the bottom tank nearest the engine after it has been cooled.
The main coolant pump draws the cooled engine coolant from the radiator, or the regulator
housing when the regulators are in bypass, and sends it through the engine oil cooler, the brake
oil cooler, the power train oil cooler, and then into the engine block. The engine coolant flows
through the engine coolant passages and exits the engine block through the regulator housing.

The engine coolant regulators open and allow the engine coolant to bypass the engine radiators
and flow to the main coolant pump inlet when the engine is cold. The regulators close and
direct engine coolant to the radiator when the engine reaches operating temperature. The
engine coolant regulators and radiator bypass circuit allow coolant flow through the engine and
coolers when the engine is below operating temperature.
The auxiliary coolant pump pulls the coldest coolant from the SCAC radiator cores and sends it
to the aftercoolers. The coolant flows through the aftercoolers in series and then returns to the
SCAC radiator cores.
The SCAC radiator cores are NGMR radiator cores. The hot coolant enters the split bottom
tank and flows up through the tube in the dual pass radiator cores nearest the back of the
machine. The coolant then flows down through the same cores to the half of the bottom tank
nearest the engine after it has been cooled.
The brake oil cooler has not changed and is mounted below the engine on the inside of the left
rear frame rail. The brake oil cooler is an oil to water cooler and cools the oil from the brake
cooling circuit not the brake application hydraulic oil.

Air Start System
This illustration shows the air start tank charged with air pressure and the solenoids deenergized. The engine air start system supplies the required amount of air to turn the air start
motor and will in turn start the engine.
At initial start up, the air start tank is bled down, or through leakage the air tank will need to be
charged. The socket that is located in the service fill area is used to provide the required air to
pressurize the tank. The air from the socket flows around the air dryer and into the air tank. At
this time, the air in the tank will charge the line going to the relay valve. Also, air flows to the
air horn solenoids, the gauge, the air start solenoid, and to the unloading valve on the air
compessor. When the air compressor has fully charged the tank and the lines, the unloading
valve will signal the air compressor to stop.
The pressures switch communicates with contact J1-13 on the VIMS module.
If the pressure on the unloading line (between the air tank and the air compressor) decreases,
the unloading valve will signal the compressor to resume supplying air for the air tank.
At this time, no air pressure is directed to the air start motor or to the air horns.

Air Start System
This illustration shows the air start tank charged with air pressure and the air start solenoid
energized. When the engine start switch is turned to the ON position, a signal is sent to the
Power Train ECM. Then, the Power Train ECM sends a voltage signal to the coil on the air
start solenoid to open and allow air to pass through the solenoid valve. The air will flow
through the air solenoid valve and flow to the air start motor. The pinnion (not shown) will
move into the fly wheel. Then, the air flows to the relay valve to signal the relay valve to open
and allow air to flow directly from the tank to the air start motor. When the engine is started,
release the key and the Power Train ECM will de-energize the air start solenoid valve. Also,
the Power Train ECM will de-energize the air start solenoid valve when the ECM gets a signal
that the engine is rotating at least 400 rpm for 10 seconds.

There are several parameters that are monitored to determine if it is appropriate to inject oil. If
any of these are not true then operation of the ORS strategy is halted until all conditions are
met or the ECM power is recycled.
The parameters that are monitored are as follows:
- Engine Speed must be greater than 1100 rpm. If engine speed exceeds 1100 rpm, oil
will be injected at the end of the 5 minute sampling period.
- Engine must be running for 5 minutes
- Coolant Temperature must be between 63C and 107C before ORS start up
- Coolant Temperature sensor fault check (open or short to ground)
- Oil pressure sensor fault check (open or short to ground)
- Oil pressure Event check (active or inactive)
- Fuel Level must be equal or greater than 10%

Oil Renewal System (ORS)
The Oil Renewal System (ORS) is intended to increase the time between oil changes without
shortening the life of the engine. Also, the system will decrease the amount of oil to be
disposed of. The ORS removes used engine oil from the engine sump and meter that oil into
the fuel return line. The used oil wil be consumed by the engine during the normal process of
combustion.
Normal Oil Analysis will determine whether the engine oil should be changed.
The Oil Renewal System is an integrated system that requires the installation of additional iron.
The Engine ECM monitors fuel rate for 5 minutes to determine an approximate fuel usage.
For the next 5 minutes, oil is injected from the crankcase into the engines fuel return line based
on the amount of fuel that is burnt. The target concentration for this operation is approximately
0.5% oil to fuel. When the fuel tank is filled, the oil concentration will be below target. When
the fuel tank is low, the oil concentration will be above target. It should be noted that the
monitoring of fuel usage and the injection of oil would be taking place simultaneously with the
corresponding oil injection lagging by 5 minutes.

Variable Clutch Fan Control
The variable clutch fan control is use to meet the changing cooling requirements, thus reducing
the horsepower that is used to drive the fan in cooler ambients or light duty cycle work
conditions. The Rockford fan controls and limits fan speed by proportally modulating engine
oil pressure to the clutch.
The speed of the fan will increase or decrease to compensate for a temperature change through
feedback from the temperature sensors. The Engine ECM receives feedback from three
sensors: the hydraulic oil temperature sensor, coolant temperarture sensor, and the aftercooler
temperature sensor. Each sensor has a target temperature programmed into the ECM. When
one or more of the sensors read a temperture above the key target temperature, the ECM will
send a signal voltage to the solenoid valve to increase the flow of engine oil through the valve
resulting in an increase in pressure to the variable clutch. At the same time, the speed sensor
within the clutch assembly will monitor the speed of the fan and send feedback to the Engine
ECM that the fan is rotating at the necessary speed.

Power Train Electrical System
This illustration of the Power Train Electrical System shows the components which provide
input signals to the Power Train ECM.
Based on the input signals, the Power Train ECM energizes the appropriate transmission control
valve solenoids for speed and directional clutch engagement. The Power Train ECM also
energizes the starter relay when starting the machine and the back-up alarm when the operator
selects a reverse gear.
When required, the Power Train ECM energizes the impeller clutch control valve solenoid, the
lockup clutch control valve solenoid, and the reduced rimpull indicator lamp.
The CAT Data Link connects the Power Train ECM to the Engine ECM. The data link also
connects the ECMs to the Vital Information Management System (VIMS) and electronic service

The STIC (1) is bolted to the seat at the front of the left armrest. The transmission directional
control switch (2) is a three position rocker switch that the operator uses to select NEUTRAL,
FORWARD, or REVERSE. The transmission speed upshift switch (3) and the transmission
speed downshift switch (4) are momentary contact switches that the operator uses to select the
desired speed.
When the operator selects REVERSE by depressing the top of the directional control switch,
the Power Train ECM energizes the reverse directional solenoid. The Power Train ECM also
activates the back-up alarm. When the operator selects FORWARD by depressing the bottom
of the directional control switch, the Power Train ECM energizes the forward directional
solenoid.
When the operator selects NEUTRAL by placing the directional control switch in the center
position, the Power Train ECM de-energizes both the forward and the reverse directional
solenoids. After two seconds, the Power Train ECM energizes speed solenoid No. 3 and the
transmission is in NEUTRAL until the operator selects a different gear.
When the operator presses the upshift switch, the Power Train ECM energizes the appropriate
speed clutch solenoid to select the next higher gear, and the transmission upshifts. When the
operator presses the downshift switch, the Power Train ECM energizes the appropriate speed
clutch solenoid to select the next lower gear, and the transmission downshifts.
The switches must be released and pressed again to continue shifting. If the operator presses
and holds the upshift or the downshift switch, the transmission will shift once and remain in
that speed until the switch is released and pressed again.

When the steering and transmission lock lever (5) is moved to the LOCK position (not shown),
the STIC is held in the center position and steering is disabled. In the LOCK position, the
steering lock lever depresses the steering and transmission lock switch (not visible). The
steering and transmission lock switch signals the Power Train ECM to shift the transmission to
NEUTRAL.
When the steering and transmission lock lever is moved to the UNLOCK position, the steering
and transmission functions are enabled.
The power train portion of the STIC sends input signals to the Power Train ECM. Certain
machine operating conditions will override the operator desired function of the STIC. If the
directional switch is in the FORWARD or REVERSE position when the steering and
transmission lock lever is moved to the UNLOCK position, the Power Train ECM will not shift
from NEUTRAL. The directional switch must first be moved to the NEUTRAL position, then
to the direction desired before the Power Train ECM will engage a directional clutch.

The operator turns the key start switch (1) clockwise to signal the Power Train ECM to start the
engine. The key start switch supplies a signal of +Battery to the Power Train ECM. The Power
Train ECM energizes the air start solenoid and the air start solenoid supplies air to the starting
motor and begin engine cranking. In order to start the engine, the following conditions must be
met before the Power Train ECM will energize the air start solenoid:
1. The key switch is turned to the start position.
2. The transmission directional control switch is in neutral.
3. The system voltage is below +32 Volts.
4. Engine prelube is complete (if equipped).
If the machine is equipped with the optional engine prelubrication the Power Train ECM will
request prelubrication status from the Engine ECM via the datalink. If the Engine ECM
determines the need for prelubrication, the Engine ECM will perform the prelubrication
function and signal the Power Train ECM when prelubrication has been completed.

The Power Train ECM monitors the position of the torque converter pedal (1) with the torque
converter pedal position sensor (2) located behind the panel at the pivot for the pedal. As the
operator depresses the pedal, the Power Train ECM increases the current to the impeller clutch
solenoid and reduces the hydraulic pressure to the impeller clutch. The rimpull will decrease
with pedal travel from the reduced maximum setting to the minimum setting. When the
operator releases the left pedal, the rimpull will return to the maximum percentage as set by the
reduced rimpull selector switch (not shown).
When the maximum allowable percentage is in the lower values, the total change of rimpull
from maximum to minimum is decreased. This condition results in a more gradual change of
rimpull over the travel of the torque converter pedal.
If the machine is not in FIRST GEAR, the impeller clutch pressure will remain at the maximum
level until the transmission is shifted into FIRST GEAR.
The torque converter pedal functions similarly when the maximum rimpull selector switch is in
the maximum position, except the maximum allowable percentage is now 100%.
NOTE: An increase in current to the impeller clutch solenoid from the Power Train ECM
results in a decrease in pressure to the impeller clutch.
INSTRUCTOR NOTE: To change the setting for each position of the reduced rimpull
selection switch, refer to the Service Manual module "994F Wheel Loader Power Train,

The impeller clutch modulating valve (1) is located on the left side of the torque converter

The Power Train ECM (not shown) monitors the status of the impeller clutch solenoid and can
determine certain faults that may affect operation of the impeller clutch. These faults include:
a short to +Battery, a short to ground, an open circuit, or the impeller clutch not responding
properly.
The Power Train ECM receives a signal from the impeller clutch pressure sensor (5) to monitor
the impeller clutch pressure. The Power Train ECM can compare the control of the impeller
clutch solenoid with the response of the impeller clutch pressure to determine if the impeller
clutch is responding properly.

When a fault is detected, controlled throttle shifting is used. When a directional shift is made
above 1100 rpm, the Power Train ECM will request a desired engine speed of 1100 rpm from
the Engine ECM for 1.9 seconds if shifting into forward and a desired engine speed of 1100
rpm for 2.5 seconds if shifting into reverse. This feature helps decrease the energies absorbed
in the transmission.
When the Power Train ECM detects a fault in the impeller clutch solenoid circuit, a fault will
be displayed on the VIMS message center (not shown).
The torque converter pedal position sensor (not shown) and the impeller clutch solenoid must
be calibrated through the VIMS to ensure proper operation.
Also shown are the lockup clutch solenoid (2) and the lockup clutch
valve. The lockup clutch solenoid and lockup clutch valve look similar to the impeller clutch
solenoid and impeller clutch valve but are different and should not be interchanged.
The lockup clutch solenoid is mounted on the lockup clutch valve. The lockup clutch
modulating valve is located on the left side of the torque converter housing between the
impeller clutch solenoid valve and the torque converter housing.
The Power Train ECM energizes the solenoid for the lockup clutch in order to allow oil to flow
to the lockup clutch. The pressure increases in the lockup clutch, causing it to engage and the
machine operates in DIRECT DRIVE.
The solenoid for the lockup clutch is a proportional solenoid and is energized by a modulated
signal from the Power Train ECM. The Power Train ECM varies the amount of current to
control the amount of oil flow through the lockup clutch valve to the lockup clutch.
The Power Train ECM receives a signal from the torque converter output speed sensor (4). The
speed sensor is mounted on the front of the torque converter housing above the output shaft.
The signal is a fixed voltage level, patterned waveform which the Power Train ECM uses to
determine the speed and direction of the torque converter output.
If the machine is allowed to roll backwards on an incline when a forward gear is selected the
toque converter output can turn in reverse . This condition is called reverse turbine and can
result in high temperatures inside the torque converter. If the Power Train ECM determines the
output of the torque converter is turning in the reverse direction greater than 500 rpm, the
Power Train ECM will ignore the left pedal position input and increase the impeller clutch
pressure to prevent this condition. The Power Train ECM will also override the reduced
rimpull setting if necessary to try to eliminate the reverse turbine.
The Power Train ECM monitors the temperature (6) of oil exiting the torque converter with the
torque converter outlet oil temperature sensor (1) which is mounted on the front right of the
torque converter housing, just above the torque converter outlet relief valve.
INSTRUCTOR NOTE: An increase in current to the lockup clutch solenoid from the
Power Train ECM results in an increase in pressure to the lockup clutch.

The lockup clutch enable switch (1) is located on the right side panel in the cab. When the
switch is in the ON (closed) position and the proper conditions have been met, the Power Train
ECM will engage the lockup clutch in order to improve the efficiency of the power train.
The Power Train ECM first sends a signal to the lockup clutch modulating valve to enengage
the lockup clutch to a Hold Level for .75 seconds to allow time for the clutch to fill. Then, the
current is ramped up to full ON in .65 seconds.
During normal operation, the Power Train ECM will ENERGIZE the torque converter lockup
clutch solenoid based on the following conditions:
1. Lockup clutch enable switch state: ON (closed).
2. Torque converter output speed: When the torque converter output speed is greater than
1125 50 rpm.
3. Time in gear: The transmission must be in the present speed and direction for at least
two seconds.
4. Time since lockup clutch solenoid was de-energized: At least four seconds must have

Transmission Hydraulic Control Valve
The transmission hydraulic control valve is shown with the transmission shifted to the
NEUTRAL position. Supply oil from the transmission filter is directed to either the solenoid
valve manifolds (not shown) or at the top of the modulating relief valve. The pressure of the
supply oil overrides the check valve (at the inlet). Oil flows through the passage (red) around
the modulating valve through the ball check valve and fills the slug chamber (red). The
pressure in the slug chamber will override the spring and the modulating valve will move
downward. As the modulating valve moves downward, oil will flow around the modulating
valve to the cavity (orange). The oil will flow through the passag (orange) to the port for the
torque converter inlet (not shown).
The supply oil flows through the flow control orifice to the chamber for the 1st and 3rd speed
selector spool and the chamber for the 2nd speed spool (in neutral, the speed selector spool will
be shifted in order to direct oil flow to the passage clutch No. 3). Also, the oil flows through

Movement of the load piston in the upwards direction, begins the modulating cycle. The oil in
the upper cavity of the differential valve shifts the valve downward against the spring. When
the supply oil pressure is at approximately 380 kPa (55 psi) the force that is developed by the
oil flow to the center of the differential valve moves the differential valve downward and
overrides the spring. Oil can flow around the differential valve and flow through passage
(red/white) to cavity (P2). When the pressure at P2 reaches the 380 kPa (55 psi) differential,
the differential valve shift upwards in order to block around the differential valve. The oil
pressure at P2 will always be approximately 380 kPa (55 psi) less than the pressure at P1. The
differential pressure between P1 and P2 will make sure that the speed clutch will always
engage before the direction clutch.
With a directional shift out of neutral, the directional selector spool will be shifted in either
direction and oil in cavity (P2) will be directed to one of the two directional clutches (not
shown).

Power Train Hydraulic System
This illustration shows the components and the oil flow for the power train hydraulic system in
Neutral.
In this schematic, the engine is running and the transmission in neutral. With the transmission
direction switch in the NEUTRAL position, the Power Train ECM energizes the No. 3 clutch
solenoid. The Power Train ECM also de-energizes the lockup clutch solenoid.
The transmission pump (a two section gear pump) draws oil from the sump (located in the
bottom of the transmission transfer case) through three magnetic screens that are located in the
sump by the transmission pump.
Oil from the left section of the transmission pump flows through the transmission filter (red) to
the priority valve. From the right side of the priority valve, oil flows to the lockup clutch
modulating valve and to the impeller clutch modulating valve.
During a shift, the priority valve maintains 2205 kPa (320 psi) oil pressure to the lockup clutch
modulating valve and impeller clutch modulating valve. When the transmission is in neutral,
the lockup clutch is disengaged. Also, the solenoid for the impeller clutch is de-energized and
the impeller clutch is engaged.

When the transmission pump supply pressure increases above the priority valve setting, the
priority valve opens and sends oil flow to the manifold for clutch solenoid valves No. 2 and 3,
the manifold for clutch solenoid valves No. 1, 5 and 4, and the inlet passage for the selector and
pressure control valves.
The oil at the clutch solenoid valve manifolds becomes the pilot oil for the transmission speed
and directional selector spools.
When the No. 3 clutch solenoid is ENERGIZED, the No. 3 solenoid valve sends pilot oil to the
upper end of the first and third speed selector spool. The pilot oil pressure overcomes the force
of the selector valve spring and moves the spool from its center position. Oil from the inlet
passage flows through the orifice, past the speed selector spool, and into the No. 3 speed clutch.
When directional solenoids No. 1 and 2 are DE-ENERGIZED, pilot oil is blocked at the
directional solenoid valves. The directional clutch selector spool spring centers the spool. Oil
flow between the direction selector spool and the the directional clutches is blocked.
When the oil requirements of the selector and pressure control valve have been satisfied, the
remaining power train pump oil flows to the torque converter.
Oil from right side of the transmission pump is directed to the torque converter filter. Oil
flows from the filter and joins with the oil from the selector and pressure control valve. The
combined oil flows to the inlet of the torque converter. Flow continues through the torque
converter to either the sump or the power train coolers. Then the oil flows to various lube
points in the transmission lubrication circuit.
When the transmission is in NEUTRAL, the Power Train ECM disengages the optional lockup
clutch. The turbine is disconnected from the rotating housing. No power is transmitted from
the housing through the turbine.
INSTRUCTOR NOTE: Operation of the modulating relief valve, the torque converter
inlet ratio valve, and the pressure differential valve is the same as explained in STMG 421
"966D Wheel Loader Part 2--Power Train" (Form SERV1421).

In this illustration, the engine is running and the transmission is in 1st speed forward in torque
converter drive.
Flow from the transmission pump is directed through the transmission filter to the priority
valve, the impeller clutch solenoid valve, and the lockup clutch solenoid valve. The priority
valve maintains a minimum oil pressure to the impeller clutch solenoid valve and the lockup
clutch solenoid valve during transmission shifts. When the transmission pump supply pressure
increases above the spring setting of the priority valve, the priority valve opens and oil is
directed to the speed manifold and the direction manifold. Also, pump supply oil is directed
past the orifice to the inlet port for the 1st and 3rd speed selector spool and the inlet port for the
2nd speed selector spool.
When the operator moves the directional switch and upshift or downshift switch to the 1st
speed forward position, the Power Train ECM energizes the impeller clutch solenoid (the
impeller clutch solenoid will be energized and then de-energized). The solenoid for the lockup
clutch is also de-energized. Then, the No. 5 solenoid is energized first and No. 2 solenoid will
be energized next.
SERVXXXX

When the No. 5 solenoid is ENERGIZED, oil pressure is directed to the lower end of the 1st
and 3rd speed selector spool. The force of the oil pressure overcomes the force of the speed
selector spool spring, the spool shifts upwards and No. 5 clutch is engaged. The No. 2 solenoid
is ENERGIZED, pilot oil is directed to the upper end of the directional selection spool. The oil
pressure overcomes the force of the selector spool spring and the spool shifts downward.The
No. 2 clutch will be engaged.
When the oil requirements of the selector and pressure control valve have been satisfied, the
remaining oil combines with the oil from the transmission pump (orange). The combined oil
flows to the torque converter. Flow continues through the torque converter through the power
train coolers to the transmission lubrication circuit.
When the transmission is in NEUTRAL, the Power Train ECM pressurizes the impeller clutch
in response to the engine speed. When the engine speed is less than 1100 rpm, the impeller
clutch pressure is maintained at a holding pressure of 550 207 kPa (80 30 psi). When the
engine rpm increases from 1100 to 1300 rpm, the Power Train ECM increases the impeller
clutch pressure from 550 207 kPa (80 30 psi) to 2580 207 kPa (375 30 psi) for one
second. The Power Train ECM then reduces the impeller clutch pressure to
2274 207 kPa (330 30 psi). The impeller clutch pressure remains at 2274 207 kPa (330
30 psi) for all engine speeds above 1300 rpm. The torque converter housing and impeller rotate
at engine speed.
When the engine rpm decreases from 1300 to 1100 rpm, the Power Train ECM decreases the
impeller clutch pressure from
2274 207 kPa (330 30 psi) to 550 207 kPa (80 30 psi). The impeller clutch pressure
remains at a holding pressure of
550 207 kPa (80 30 psi) for all engine speeds below 1100 rpm. The low pressure allows
the impeller clutch to remain filled without engaging. The torque converter housing rotates
with the engine while the torque converter impeller is only partially engaged without
transmitting torque.
NOTE: The impeller clutch pressure is reduced because the pressure to the impeller
clutch is reduced after the first second (1/60 of a minute) of engagement to extend the life
of the seals and pistons in the impeller clutch. This can be demonstrated by connecting a
pressure gauge to the impeller clutch pressure tap and viewing the gauge during a
directional shift. Caterpillar Electronic Technician (ET) can also be used to view the
impeller clutch pressure and the impeller clutch solenoid valve current during a
directional shift.

When the transmissionis shifted from FIRST SPEED FORWARD to SECOND SPEED
FORWARD (speed shift), the Power Train ECM de-energizes the No. 5 clutch solenoid, and
energizes the No. 4 clutch solenoid. The Power Train ECM also continues to de-energize the
impeller clutch solenoid and the lockup clutch solenoid.
When de-energized, the No. 5 clutch solenoid valve interrupts the flow of pilot oil to the speed
selector spool and directs the pilot oil to the sump.
When energized, the No. 4 clutch solenoid valve sends oil to the end of the 2nd speed selector
spool. The force of the oil pressure overcomes the force of the selector valve spring and moves
the spool from its center position. Oil from the inlet passage flows through the orifice, into the
No. 4 speed clutch.
The empty No. 4 clutch causes the pressure at P1 and P2 to be less than 375 kPa (55 psi). The
decrease in P1 oil pressure allows the pressure differential valve spring to move the differential
valve up. When the differential valve moves up, the differential valve opens a passage for oil in
the differential valve spring chamber and the load piston cavity to flow to drain. The
transmission control valve then repeats the fill and modulation cycle.
During a speed shift, the Power Train ECM maintains maximum pressure in the impeller clutch.
The transmission directional clutch picks up the load after a dirction shift.

When the transmission is shifted from First Speed Forward to Second Speed Reverse
(directional shift), the Power Train ECM de-energizes clutch solenoids No. 2 and 5 and
energizes clutch solenoids No. 1 and 4. The ECM also energizes the impeller clutch solenoid
and de-energizes the lockup clutch solenoid.
When the Power Train ECM de-energizes the No. 2 clutch solenoid, the No. 2 clutch solenoid
valve blocks the pilot oil flow and sends the pilot oil at the end of the selector spool to drain.
The force of the selector valve spring moves the spool to its center position. When the selector
spool moves to the center position, oil in the No. 2 clutch flows to the sump.
When the Power Train ECM energizes the No.1 clutch solenoid, the No. 1 clutch solenoid valve
sends pilot oil to the lower end of the directional selector spool. The force of the oil pressure
overcomes the force of the selector valve spring and shifts the spool from its center position.
Directional clutch oil flows from the pressure differential valve, past the directional selector
spool, and into the REVERSE clutch (No. 1).

When the Power Train ECM de-energizes the No. 5 clutch solenoid, the No. 5 clutch solenoid
valve blocks the flow of pilot oil and sends the pilot oil at the end of the 1st and 3rd selector
spool to the sump. The selector spool moves to the center position, oil in the No. 5 clutch
flows to the sump.
When the ECM energizes the No. 4 clutch solenoid, the No. 4 clutch solenoid valve sends pilot
oil to the right side of the 2nd speed selector spool. The force of the oil pressure overcomes the
force of the selector spool spring and moves the spool from its center position. Oil from the
inlet passage flows through the orifice, past the 1st and 3rd speed selector spool, past the 2nd
speed selector spool, and into the No. 4 speed clutch.
As the empty No. 1 and 4 clutches fill, they cause the P1 and P2 pressures to decrease to less
than 375 kPa (55 psi) momentarily. The momentary decrease in P1 oil pressure allows the
differential valve spring to move the differential valve up. When the differential valve moves
up, the differential valve opens a passage for oil in the differential valve spring chamber and
the load piston cavity to flow to drain. The transmission control valve then repeats the fill and
modulation cycle.
During a directional shift, the Power Train ECM reduces the pressure in the impeller clutch
allowing the impeller clutch to slip. The ECM monitors the torque converter output speed
sensor and the transmission output speed sensor to determine when the transmission clutches
are engaged. When the transmission clutches are engaged, the ECM engages the impeller
clutch in the torque converter. The torque converter absorbs the energy of a directional shift.

The 994F Wheel Loader is equipped with two oil-to-coolant coolers (1) and two oil-to-air
coolers (2 and 3). The oil-to-coolant coolers are located on the left side of the engine. These
two coolers use engine coolant to cool the transmission oil as the oil passes through the coolers.
In line with the transmission oil flow through the two oil-to-coolant, an orifice is installed to
divide the flow of oil between the oil-to-coolant and two oil-to-air coolers. Approximately two
thirds of the torque converter outlet oil flow through the oil-to-coolant coolers.
The two oil-to-air coolers are located in the cooler package at the rear of the machine. Cooler

The Power Train ECM shifts the transmission by energizing the solenoid valves that are located
in the transmission control valve group on top of the transmission.
Two solenoid valves are used to control Reverse (1) or Forward (2) directional shifts and three
solenoid valves are used to control speed shifts: First (5), Second (4), and Third (3).
The solenoid valves are two-position, three-way solenoid valves. The solenoid valves are
normally open to drain. When energized, the solenoid valve spool moves to direct pressure oil
to one end of the transmission control valve spool. The transmission control valve spool then
directs oil to the appropriate clutch.
The solenoids are operated by 12VDC max. The Power Train ECM first energizes the
solenoids with 12VDC for one second and then decreases the voltage to approximately
8.25VDC for the remainder of the time that the solenoid is energized. The decreased voltage
level is enough to keep pressure oil to the control valve spool to maintain position while
extending the service life of the solenoid.

Pilot System
This illustration shows a block diagram of the pilot hydraulic system. In this illustration, the
engine is running and the control levers are in the HOLD position.
The pilot system is a closed center design. Oil is drawn from the implement hydraulic tank by
the pilot pump. Pump oil is directed through the pilot filter group and is divided into two
directions. One pathe flows to the the pilot relief valve and the other path flows to the selector
valves . The pilot hydraulic system will constantly operate at the relief valve setting. When the
pilot pump pressure reaches the relief valve setting, the relief valve opens. Oil over the relief
valve flows to the implement oil cooler (not shown) before returning to the hydraulic tank.
The pilot oil flows over an opened check valve 2 to the pilot control valves. Check valve 2
blocks oil from returning back to the pump. The pilot oil will be blocked at the pilot control
valves until either the tilt or lift control lever is moved. Check valve 1 is installed between the
pilot line and the selector and pressure control valve in order to block the pilot oil from flowing
to the selector and pressure control valve.
Pilot oil from the filter is also directed to the selector valves for the lift and tilt pilot lines.
When the control levers are in the HOLD position, the pressure at each end of the selector
valves is equal.

The selector valves will be in the CENTER position. Pilot oil flows through the selector valves
and through the orifices. The selector valve is used in order to circulate a small amount of
warm pilot oil from the pilot pump into the pilot lines when the pilot control valve controls
aren't being used to help out with cold weather conditions. As soon as the operator moves
either control lever, in either direction, the valve shifts and blocks the flow to the pilot lines. It's
called a thermal purge because it "purges" warm pilot oil into the pilot system. In the HOLD
position, the pilot oil flows back through the tank port on the pilot control valve to the
hydraulic tank.
The selector and pressure control valve is used in the pilot system to control the pilot pressure
that is provided when the lift cylinders are extended and there is pressure in the head end of the
lift cylinders. The selector valve blocks the flow of oil through the selector valve when the
pilot oil pressure provided by the pilot pump is greater than the pressure at the output end of
the selector valve. In the event that the engine is not running and the lift cylinders are
extended, the oil at the output of the selector valve will be greater than the pilot oil and check
valve 1 will unseat. The oil from the head end of the lift cylinders flows through the selector
valve, over the check valve 1, and flow to the pilot control valve. The pilot system will have
sufficient pilot oil to lower the lift linkage.

In the event the engine is not running and the bucket is raised and must be lowered, the pilot
system will use oil pressure in the head end of the lift cylinders for the necessary pilot pressure.
Oil in the head end of the lift cylinders (blue) flows to the selector and pressure control valve.
The pilot oil will open check valve 1 and flow the the pilot control valves. Pilot oil will flow to
check valve 2 and be blocked.
When the oil pressure in the head end of the lift cylinders goes above the adjusted pressure of
the selector valve, the valve will shift and the excess oil pressure will be directed to tank. The
selector and pressure control valve reduces the pressure and makes the low pressure oil
available for emergency use in the pilot system.
When the lift control lever is moved in the lower direction, the reduced pilot oil will flow from
the lift control valve through the lower kickout cushion solenoid valve to the lower ends of the
lift stems (not shown) in the main control valve.

the When the operator moves the lift control lever into the raise direction, the pivot plate is
rotated and the upper plunger, the upper retainer, lower plunger, metering spring, the lower
retainer and the metering stem moves downward. As the metering stem moves downward, the
port holes in the stem pass over the oil passage from the pilot pump. Pilot oil flows from the
passage through the center of the metering stem to the end of the lift stem in the main control
valve (not shown). At the same time, the metering stem spring is adding an upward force
against the upper edge of the metering stem. Return oil from the main control valve throug the
lowermetering stem, the center of the metering stem and to the tank port.
The objective of the metering stem is to allow movement of the stem in the main control valve
proportionally with the movement of the pilot control lever. The metering stem and the
metering spring function as a pressure reducing valve and control the pilot oil pressure at the
end of the main control valve stem.
As the metering stem moves downward, pilot oil flows through the orifice, the center of the
metering stem and out to the main control valve.
SERVXXXX

The flow of pilot oil is blocked at the main control valve stem causing the pilot pressure to
increase. The pressure increase overcomes the centering spring for the main control valve stem
and shifts the stem. Then, supply oil is directed to the actuator.
The pressure increase is also sensed against the lower end of the metering stem. When the
pressure increase overcomes the applied force, the metering stem moves up and compresses the
metering spring. The upward movement restricts the flow of pilot through the orifice in the
metering stem. Restricting the pilot oil flow controls the signal pressure at the stem of the
main control valve . The metering spring therefore adjusts the pressure at the main control
valve stem in proprtion to the movement of the pilot control lever.
When the lift control lever is moved to full travel and the detent coil is energized, the upper
retainer (raise) will be held in position by electromagnetic force of the detent coil. The detent
coil will be energized until the position sensor (not shown) recognizes the kickout position.
The lever can be removed from a detent position manually.
When the operator moves the lift control lever to the full LOWER position, the lower side of
the pilot control valve will operated similiar to the raise side and the float detent coil will hold
the control valve in the FLOAT position.

Implement Hydraulic System
The implement hydraulic system is equipped with three fixed displacement piston pumps and
one variable displacement piston pump. The three fixed displacement pumps draw oil from the
implement hydraulic tank. The supply oil is directed through the high pressure screens and the
individual relief valves. The individual relief valves limits the supply oil pressure that is
flowing to the left and right control valves. This illustration shows the main control valve with
no signal pressure from the pilot control valve (not shown). The oil that is between the main
control valve and both ends of the lift and tilt cylinders is blocked.
Each individual piston pump is equipped with its own case drain filter.
Oil flow from the three fixed displacement pumps operate the lift and tilt cylinders. Oil flow is
metered to the cylinders by the main control valve stems. The oil flow around the stems is
controlled by the movement of the stems in the valve through the pressure that is applied to the
ends of the stems. The operator controls the pilot oil flow and pressure that shifts the stems.
Also, movement of the valve stems opens a passage for the oil in the opposite end of the
cylinders to return to tank.

The 994F Wheel Loader is now equipped with a new center pump on the front pump drive.
The new pump is a two section piston type pump. The tandem pump is equipped with an
impeller pump (charge) that draws oil from the implement hydraulic tank (not shown) and
directs oil to the inlet cavities of each pump section.
The pump section that is located next to the pump drive is a fixed displacement piston pump.
This section will continuously supply oil to the main control valve when the engine is running.
The displacement for the fixed pump is predetermined by the locking bolts that retain the
swashplate at the fixed angle.
The other pump section is a variable displacement piston pump. This section will supply either
minimum flow or maximum flow to the main control valve depending on the signal pressure at
the pump control valve. The pump control valve will control the output of the variable pump
using pump pressure to shift either the flow control spool (not shown) and the pressure
compensator spool (not shown). In this illustration showing minimum flow, oil pressure is
directed to the large piston and the force against the piston moves the piston rod and the
swashplate against the stop. At the same time, the spring and the pressure that is behind the
small piston will be overridden. Small piston will allow the swashplate to rotate against the
stop. The pump will supply sufficient oil pressure to lubricate the pump and supply
instantaneous response to a request for maximum flow.

The signal for the control of the upstroke and destroke of the variable displacement piston
pump is through a voltage signal from the Implement ECM to the solenoid valve (not shown)
for variable displacement piston pump. The solenoid valve relieves or retains the oil pressure
in the signal line to the pump control valve. In this illustration, the signal oil pressure is
releived to tank pressure.
When the oil at the signal line goes to tank pressure, oil pressure at the right end of the flow
compensator spool decreases. The spring force on the right side of the flow compensator spool
is overridden by the force that is developed by the system pressure on the left side of the spool.
The spool shifts to the right. System pressure is allowed to flow over the flow compensator
spool to the large actuator piston. The increased pressure in the large actuator piston overcomes
the combined force of the small actuator and bias spring and moves the swashplate to a reduced
angle.
As pump flow decreases, supply pressure also decreases. When the supply pressure decreases
and equals the sum of the oil pressure at the right end of the flow compensator spool and spring
force, the flow compensator spool moves to a metering position and the system stabilizes.

The pump section on the right is a variable displacement piston pump. This section will supply
either minimum flow or maximum flow to the main control valve depending on the signal
pressure at the pump control valve. In this illustration, the pump is showing maximum oil
flow. The oil pressure that is behind the large piston is relieved to tank. At the same time, the
spring and the pressure that is behind the small piston will override the large piston and the
small piston will rotate the swashplate against the lock stop. The variable pump will upstroke
to maximum flow. The pump will continue to provide maximum flow until the pressure at the

The signal for the control of the upstroke and destroke of the variable displacement piston
pump is through a voltage signal from the Implement ECM to the solenoid valve (not shown)
for variable displacement piston pump. The solenoid valve relieves or retains the oil pressure
in the signal line to the pump control valve. In this illustration, the signal oil pressure is
retained at system pressure.
When the oil at the signal line increases to system pressure, oil pressure at the right end of the
flow compensator spool is increased. The combination of the spring force and the system
pressure on the right side of the flow compensator spool overrides by the force that is
developed by the system pressure on the left side of the spool. The flow compensator spool
shifts to the left. Oil at the large actuator piston is allowed to flow over the flow compensator
spool and the pressure compensator spool. The large actuator piston is at tank pressure. The
force of the bias spring and the system pressure on the small piston enables the small piston to
override the large piston and the swashplate will move to maximum angle.
The pump will upstroke and add an oil source to the main control valve to increase the cycle

Implement Hydraulic System Schematic HOLD
This schematic shows the hydraulic flow with the control levers in the HOLD position.
When the engine is running, pilot oil that flows from the pilot pump through the pilot relief
valve and is blocked at the pilot control valve. At the same time, oil from the pilot pump flows
through the tilt selector valve and lift selector valve. With no signal pressure at either end of
the selector valves, the selector valves are in the CENTER position. The pilot oil that is
flowing out of the selector valves pass through orifices. Then, the oil flows back through the
pilot control valves to the hydraulic tank.
The two fixed displacement piston pumps draw oil from the hydraulic tank. The pumps direct
oil through high pressure screens, over the individual relief valves and supply hydraulic oil to
the main control valve. The open center valve directs the supply oil through the main control
valve to the hydraulic tank. Also, the tandem pump draws oil from the hydraulic tank. The
fixed displacement pump draws oil from the hydraulic tank and directs supply oil to the main
control valve. With the B-Pin below the horizontal level of the A-Pin, the variable
displacement pump will be at zero flow.

This illustration shows the hydraulic oil flow with the variable displacement piston pump
destroked.
When the lift control lever is in the RAISE position, pilot oil is directed through lift stop
solenoid valve to the raise ends of the individual lift stems in the main control valve. Also, the
pilot oil pressure to the right side of the lift selector valve increases, the lift selector valve shifts
to the left. The flow of pilot oil through the lift selector valve is blocked. All the pilot oil is
directed to the ends of the raise end of the lift stems. The force of the oil pressure on the lift
stems cause the spools to move against the centering springs. The lift stems shift to the RAISE
position. At this time, the lift stems direct supply oil flow to the head end of the lift cylinders.
When the lift linkage position sensor communicate that the lift cylinders are at approximately
70 mm (2.75 inch) from the end of stroke, the Implement ECM energizes the raise stop
solenoid valve and the flow of pilot oil to the end of the lift stems is blocked. The lift stems
will shift back to the CENTER position. The supply oil to the lift cylinders will be blocked.

Implement Hydraulic System RAISE
This illustration shows the hydraulic oil flow when the control lever is moved to the RAISE
position and the variable displacement piston pump upstroked.
When the pilot control lever is in the RAISE position, pilot oil is directed through lift stop
solenoid valve to the raise ends of the lift stems. Also, the pilot oil that is flowing to the lift
selector increases in pressure, the lift selector valve shifts to the left. The flow of pilot oil
through the lift selector valve is blocked. All the pilot oil is directed to the raise end of the lift
stems. The force of the oil pressure on the lift stems push the lift stems to move against the
centering springs to the RAISE position. The lift stems send supply oil flow to the head end of
the lift cylinders.
When the lift arms raise to the B-Pin over the horizontal line of the A-Pin, 1st speed forward
for at least 2.0 seconds, and ground speed is less than 6.8 kilometers/hr (4.25 mph), the
implement ECM sends a signal to energize the variable pump solenoid valve. Pump control oil
is relieved to tank. The variable displacement piston pump will upstroke.
When the lift cylinders are at approximately 70 mm (2.75 inch) from the end of stroke, the
Implement ECM energizes the raise stop solenoid valve and the flow of pilot oil to the end of
the lift stems is blocked. The lift stems will shift to the CENTER position. The supply oil to
the head end of the lift cylinders will be blocked.

The supply oil to the head end of the lift cylinders will be blocked.This illustration shows the
hydraulic flow when the lift control lever is moved to the LOWER position and the pilot
pressure is greater than 900 kPa (130 psi). When the lift control lever is in the LOWER
position, pilot oil is directed to the lower end of the lift stems. Also, the pilot oil that is flowing
to the lift selector increases in pressure, the lift selector valve shifts to the right. The flow of
pilot oil through the lift selector valve is blocked. All the pilot oil is directed to the lower end
of the lift stems. The lift stems shift and the lift stems open passages for oil flow from the
implement pumps, through the load check valves, the lift control spools and the rod end of the
lift cylinders to lower the bucket.
The position of the lift stem also opens a passage for the oil in the head end of the lift cylinders
to flow to the implement hydraulic tank.
When the pilot pressure is greater than 900 kPa (130 psi) pilot oil pressure, the lower sequence
stem starts to shift to the right. Oil in the head end of the lift cylinder is allowed to flow
through the sequence stem, through the main control valve and return to the implement
hydraulic tank. This will increase the cycle time for lowering the lift linkage.
The lower circuit is equipped with a lower kickout cushion solenoid valve. When the lift
linkage is lowered to a predetermined position that is set by the lower kickout, the solenoid
valve is energized by the Implement ECM. The solenoid valve shifts and blocks the flow of
pilot oil through the valve.

All the pilot oil flows through the orifice causing a pressure drop at the lower end of the lift
stems. The drop in the lower pilot pressure will allow the lower stems to shift toward the
HOLD position for one second, and reducing the flow of system oil to the rod end of the lift
cylinders. This cushions the the lift cylinders as the bucket nears the set kickout position.

This illustration shows the hydraulic oil flow when the lift control lever is moved to the FLOAT
position.
When the lift control lever is in the FLOAT position, pilot oil is directed to the lower end of the
lift stems. The force that is developed by the pilot oil pressure causes the lift stems to move
against the centering springs to the FLOAT position. The lift stems open passages for supply
oil flow from the implement pumps, to flow to the rod end of the lift cylinders.
With the lift control lever is in the FLOAT position, the oil pressure in the pilot line develops a
force on the spool in the sequence valve. The sequence valve shifts, and allows the oil in the
spring cavity for the makeup and vent valve to flow through the sequence valve and back to the
hydraulic tank. The makeup and vent valve shifts to allow oil that is directed to the rod end of
the lift cylinder to flow to the hydraulic tank. When the makeup and vent valves move off their
seats, oil intended of the rod end of the lift cylinders flows past the makeup valves to the tank.
At this time, both ends of the lift cylinders are open to the tank allowing the bucket to float
along the ground. Also, the position of the lift stem also opens a passage for the oil in the head
end of the lift cylinders to flow to the implement hydraulic tank.
The detent coil will hold the lift control lever in the FLOAT position until the lever is moved
from the FLOAT position or the current to the detent coil is interuppted.

This illustration shows the hydraulic flow when the tilt control lever is moved to the DUMP
position and the variable displacement piston pump upstroked.
When the tilt control lever is in the DUMP position, pilot oil is directed to the dump end of the
tilt stems. Also, Pilot oil is flowing to the tilt selector valve.. As the pilot pressure at the tilt
selector valve increases, the tilt selector valve shifts to the right. The flow of pilot oil through
the tilt selector valve is blocked. All the pilot oil is directed to the dump end of the tilt stems.
The force of the oil pressure on the tilt stems cause the stems to move against the centering
springs to the DUMP position. The tilt stems send supply oil flow to the rod end of the tilt
cylinders.
The dump circuit is equipped with makeup valve. As the speed of the bucket rotating around
the B-Pin increases, the effect of gravity on the bucket changes the force from the rod end of
the tilt cylinder to the head end. The implement pumps are not able to supply the required oil.
There will be void in the rod end of the tilt cylinder. The pressure in the dump circuit will
decrease. The increased pressure on the lower side of the make up valve will be greater than
the pressure on the upper side. The poppet will come off the seat and return oil from the head
end of the tilt cylinder flows into the rod end to fill the void.

The steering neutralizers and quad check valve is located at the articulation hitch between the
cab and frame (EEF) (1). The bracket for the strikers (2) and (5) are attached to the loader
frame (NEEF).
The neutralizer valve is normally open between the pilot control valve (not shown) and the
quad check valve. Pilot oil is allowed to flow through the neutralizer valve when the operator
moves the pilot valve to articulate the machine. When the adjusted striker makes contact with
the neutralizer, the valve will block pilot oil through the neutralizer valve. The machine will
stop articulating.
In a right turn, neutralizer (3) will contact striker (2). In a left turn, neutralizer (6) will contact
striker (5).
Quad check valve (4) is between the neutralizer valves and the ends of the stem in the steering
control valve (not shown). The quad check valve has two check valves for each pilot line. One
check valve is free flow through and the second is will block pilot oil flow to the steering
control valve. When pilot oil is directed to the steering control valve, the pilot oil flows
through the free flow check valve. When the pilot control valve is returned to the HOLD
position, the free flow check valve will seat and block pilot oil between the check valve and the
steering control valve. The stem in the steering control valve will be held in the articulated
position until the pilot control valve is moved in either direction. The second check valve will
allow the trapped pilot oil to flow back to the pilot control valve when the valve is moved to the
opposite direction (the opposite direction).

Steering control valve (4) sends system oil supplied by the two steering pumps to the steering
cylinders (not shown) when a pilot oil signals the valve to shift. The steering control valve also
sends a signal to the margin spool in each pump control valve on the steering pumps.
Selector and pressure reducing valve 1 (6) reduces oil that is supplied by the steering pump to
the unloading valve in the steering control valve. Orifice (3) meters the reduced oil that flows

primary steering pressure is lost. Adapter (2) is equipped with an orifice and that restricts the
flow of steering pump oil to tank in order build up pressure behind the orifice to shift the
diverter spool in the secondary steering valve. Also, the orifice opens a free path to discharge
the oil between the reducing valve and the diverter valve to drain in case of a loss of steering
pump oil.
Selector and pressure reducing valve 2 (1) reduces the pressure of the steering oil pressure to
the pilot pressure level. Then, that oil is directed to the pilot control valve.

Shown is a schematic and sectional view of the steering pump and pump control valve.
The pump has two actuator pistons which work together to continually adjust the angle of the
swashplate. The small actuator piston that that is assisted by the bias spring is used to upstroke
the pump. The large actuator piston is used to destroke the pump.
The pump control valve consists of a flow compensator (margin) spool and a pressure
compensator (cutoff) spool. The valve keeps the pump flow and pressure at a level needed to
fulfill the demands of the steering system.
The margin compensator spring maintains the pump supply pressure at
2100 105 kPa (305 15 psi) above the signal pressure. The pressure compensator spring
limits the system pressure to
29000 350 kPa (4200 50 psi).
When the engine is OFF, the bias spring in the small actuator piston moves the swashplate to
maximum angle.

At machine start-up, the small actuator spring holds the swashplate at maximum angle. When
the steering control valve is in the HOLD position, pump flow is blocked at the steering control
valve and no signal pressure is generated. As the pump produces flow, the system pressure
begins to increase. This pressure is felt at the lower end of both the flow compensator spool
and the pressure compensator spool. The flow compensator spool moves up against spring
force and permits system oil to go to the large actuator piston. The oil pressure at the large
actuator piston overcomes the combined force of the bias spring and system oil pressure at the
small actuator piston.
The large actuator piston moves the swashplate to the LOW PRESSURE STANDBY position.
In LOW PRESSURE STANDBY, the pump produces enough flow to compensate for system
leakage at sufficient pressure to provide instantaneous response when the steering control valve
is moved.

When the load on the steering system decreases, signal oil pressure at the right end of the flow
compensator valve decreases. This decreased pressure causes the force (flow compensator
valve spring plus signal oil pressure) at the right end of the flow compensator spool to decrease
below the pump supply pressure at the left end of the spool. The decreased pressure at the right
end of the flow compensator spool causes the spool to shift and allows more flow to the large
actuator causing the pressure in the large actuator piston to increase. The increased pressure in
the large actuator piston overcomes the combined force of the small actuator and bias spring
and moves the swashplate to a reduced angle.
As pump flow decreases, supply pressure also decreases. When the supply pressure decreases
and equals the sum of the oil pressure at the right end of the flow compensator spool and spring
force, the flow compensator spool moves to a metering position and the system stabilizes.

During a turn, signal pressure at the steering control valve increases. This increased pressure
causes the force (flow compensator valve spring plus signal oil pressure) at the right end of the
flow compensator spool to become greater than the pump supply pressure at the left end of the
spool.
The increased pressure at the right end of the flow compensator spool causes the spool to shift
left. The spool reduces or blocks pump output oil flow to the large actuator piston, and opens a
passage to drain. Reducing or blocking oil flow to the large actuator piston reduces or
eliminates the pressure acting against the large actuator piston. When the pressure in the large
actuator piston decreases, the bias spring and small actuator piston move the swashplate to an
increased angle causing the pump to UPSTROKE.

The pressure compensator spool limits the maximum system pressure for any given pump
displacement. The pressure compensator spool is held in the left position during normal
operation by spring force.
When steering hydraulic system pressure is at maximum, pump supply pressure increases and
the pressure compensator spool moves right against spring force. The pressure cutoff spool
blocks oil in the large actuator piston from returning to the tank and allows supply oil to go to
the large actuator piston.
The increase in pressure allows the large actuator piston to overcome the combined force of the
small actuator piston and spring to destroke the pump. The pump is now at minimum flow and
pump supply pressure is at maximum.
This feature eliminates the need for a main relief valve in the steering hydraulic system.
Maximum system pressure is adjusted by turning the pressure compensator adjustment screw.

When the handle for the steering pilot valve is moved to the left, the cam follower linkage
pushes the left port plunger downward against the regulating spring. The force of the
regulating spring is greater than the return spring so the pilot stem moves downward. At the
same time, the return spring adds an upward force against the pilot stem to stabilize the
movement.
When the hole through the pilot stem moves over the port from the pilot oil passage, the pilot
oil flows through the center of the pilot stem. Then, the pilot oil flows through the orifice to
the quad check valve and then to the end of the stem in the steering control valve.
As the handle is moved further to the left more pilot oil is allowed to flow through the pilot
stem. The pilot oil that is directed to the end of the stem will build up pressure and override the
force of the centering spring in the steering control valve (not shown) in order to move the
stem. The pressure will build up a force in the center of the pilot stem. The combination of the
return spring and that force will push upward against the regulating spring. The oil flow
between the hole in the pilot stem and the pilot oil passage will be blocked. The pilot stem will
act like a reducing valve. As more articulation speed is required, the regulating spring force
pushing down must be increased by more handle movement.
As the stem in the steering control valve is shifted, return pilot oil will be directed through the
orfice in the right port, through the center of the pilot stem.

The force that is developed by the pressure of the return oil will override the regulating spring.
The pilot stem will move upward far enough to allow the return oil to flow out of the drain
passage.
NOTE: The shims that were previously used to change the adjudtment of the capsules at the
base of the valve have been removed. Also, the adjustment procedure has been changed. To
adjust the capsules, loosen the bolts that hold the steering control valve and raise the bracket.
Then, rotate the capsules to the desired amount, lower the bracket over the capsules and
tighten the bolts. The recommended amount of movement of the steering lever in both
directions before the machine starts to turn is 15 3 mm (0.59 0.120 inch).

This sectional view of the steering control valve identifies the various components. The control
valve is in the HOLD position. When system oil from the steering pumps enters the steering
control valve, the oil is blocked by the control stem. The oil flows through the hole in the relief
valve and into the spring cavity. The pressue in the spring cavity will be equal to the pressure
at the inlet of the control valve. The relief valve will block any oil flow between the inlet of the
control valve and the tank port.
The function of the control stem is to direct oil to the respective ends of the steering cylinders
when making a turn. When in the steering control valve is in the HOLD position, the oil
between the steering cylinders and the control valve will be blocked. System oil flow entering

This sectional view shows the steering control valve with the control stem shifted for a left turn.
When the steering control lever is moved to the left, pilot oil is directed to the left turn pilot
cavity. Then, the control stem is shifted to the left. System oil from the inlet of the valve flows
around the control stem to the head end of the right cylinder and the rod end of the left cylinder.
Also, the system oil flows to the ball resolver. The ball shifts to the and system oil flow around
the ball resolver to the steering control valve in each steering pump.
Continual movement of the steering control lever sends pilot oil to keep the steering control
spool in the open position. Steering pump oil flow is blocked at the cylinders. The pressure in
the spring chamber will increase over the relief valve setting. The force that is developed by
pressure in the spring chamber exceeding the spring force on the poppet. The poppet will
unseat. The force of the oil pressue in the spring cavity and the spring force will drop below
the pressure at the valve inlet. The relief valve will shift to the right and all allow the extra
pressure to flow out of the tank port. When the pressures are equalized, the poppet will seat
and the the relief valve shifts to the left and stops all flow to the tank.
When an external force acts on the wheels when the control stem is in the HOLD position, a
hydraulic spike is induced in the steering system. At this time the pressure at the crossover
relief valve will open and allow the higher pressure to flow to the steering cylinder that is not
being controlled.

Steering Hydraulic System
When the engine is running and the steering system is in HOLD, pilot oil from the right pump
is blocked at the steering control valve spool. Oil from the left and right steering pumps flows
through the respective check valves to the steering control valve. The control valve spool
blocks oil flow to the steering cylinders and no signal pressure is generated.
System pressure is sensed at the margin spool, the pressure compensator spool, and the small
actuator piston (rod end symbol) of each pump . As system pressure increases, the margin
spool moves against the spring force and opens a passage for pump oil to flow to the large
actuator piston (head end symbol). The pressure in the large actuator piston overcomes the
combined force of the actuator spring and the pressure in the small piston and moves the
swashplate to the LOW PRESSURE STANDBY position.
In LOW PRESSURE STANDBY, the pump produces adequate flow to compensate for system
leakage and sufficient pressure to provide for instantaneous response when the steering control
valve is moved.
The pilot steering system receives system oil from the output of the steering pumps. System oil
flows from the steering pumps to the selector and pressure reducing valve 2. The valve reduces
the system pressure to pilot pressure and pilot oil flows to the steering pilot valve.

When the operator moves the STIC to the right, pilot oil flows through the pilot control valve
and the right neutralizer valve to the right side of the steering control spool. Pilot oil pressure
moves the steering control spool to the right.
System oil from the steering pumps flows through the check valves and the high pressure
screens. Then, the system oil flows around the control spool to the steering cylinders. As
pressure increases in the steering cylinders, the pressure (signal pressure) is sensed in the
margin valve spring chamber at each pump.
The signal pressure combines with the force of the margin spool spring and moves the margin
spool down. The margin spool restricts the flow of oil to the large actuator piston (head end).
The spring and pressure in the small actuator piston overcome the pressure in the large piston to
move the swashplate toward maximum angle.
The increase in swashplate angle increases pump oil flow. The increase in oil flow through the
control spool orifice increases the system pressure. The system pressure is sensed at the margin
spool.
The increased pressure moves the margin spool against the combined forces of the spring and
signal pressure and sends oil to the large actuator piston. The actuator piston moves the
swashplate to a reduced angle that produces flow relative to the position of the control spool.

The illustration shows the 994F steering system when the Secondary Steering System is active.
The bi-directional secondary steering pump is splined to the output transfer gears and turns
whenever the machine is rolling.
The diverter valve directs oil from the tank to the input side of the pump and the oil from the
output side of the pump to the main steering system depending on if the machine is rolling
FORWARD or REVERSE.
The secondary steering relief valve limits the maximum pressure in the secondary steering
system. The unloader spool senses the pressure in the primary steering system from the
pressure and selector valve 1. If there is steering system pressue, the unloader spool directs
secondary steering oil to the hydraulic tank.
When the machine is rolling with the engine not running, the main steering pumps are not
providing flow to the steering system. The main steering pump output is blocked and the
pressure is zero. The pressure that is acting on the top of the unloader valve is relieved. Spring
force moves the unloader spool up and blocks the flow of secondary steering oil to tank. The
pressure unseats the check valve and directs secondary steering oil into the main steering
system. The check valves on the output of the main steering pumps seat and block the oil from
entering the pumps.

The secondary steering oil flows to the steering control valve and the selector and pressure
reducing valve. The selector and pressure reducing valve reduces the secondary steering
pressure to a pilot level. The steering pilot control valve can use that oil in order to shift the
spool in the steering control valve.
The steering warning switch senses the main steering system pressure after the selector and
pressure control valve. The steering warning switch is monitored by VIMS. When the main
system pressure drops, the switch opens. The VIMS alerts the operator with a Level 3 warning
that the main steering system pressure is low.

Brake pump: The brake pump is a variable displacement piston pump with a pressure
compensated pump control valve. The pump draws oil from the steering and brake hydraulic
oil tank and sends supply oil to through the check valves to the accumulators.
Check valves: Allows oil flow in one direction between the brake pump and the accumulators.
Brake accumulators: When the engine is running, the front and rear brake accumulators
supply oil within a controlled pressure range to the brake valve and to the parking brake valve.
If the engine stops running, the accumulators provide an emergency oil supply to provide
braking.
Service brake valve: Controls the flow of brake oil to the front and rear service brakes.
Parking brake valve: Controls the engagement and disengagement of the parking brake.

This illustration shows the service brake valve operation with the right service brake pedal

When the operator depresses either brake pedal (right view), the upper spring moves the two
brake spools down. The brake spools close the passages to the tank and open the passages from
the two accumulators. The oil from the rear accumulator flows through the upper brake spool
to ENGAGE the rear service brakes and to fill the chamber between the upper brake spool and
the lower brake spool. The oil from the front brake accumulator flows through the lower brake
spool to ENGAGE the front service brakes and to fill the chamber at the bottom of the lower
spool.
The pressure at the bottom of the lower brake spool and the force of the spring move the lower
brake spool up against the pressure in the chamber between the upper brake spool and the lower
brake spool. The pressure in the chamber between the upper brake spool and the lower brake
spool moves the upper brake spool up against the force on the brake pedal.
The force at the bottom of each brake spool balances that brake spool against the force at the
top of the brake spool. Each brake spool acts as a pressure reducing valve to limit the pressure
