Remove & Install Boom Drift Reduction Valve

Fluid Spillage Containment

Care must be taken to ensure that the fluids are contained during performance of the inspection, the
maintenance, the testing, the adjusting and the repair of the machine. Be prepared to collect the fluid with
suitable containers before opening any compartment or disassembling any component containing fluids.
Refer to the "Tools And Shop Products Guide, NENG2500" the tools and the supplies suitable to collect and
contain any of the fluids in Caterpillar machines. Dispose of the fluids according to local regulations and
mandates.

OTE: The boom drift reduction valve is located on the left side of the main control valve.

1. Start the machine, and fully extend the stick and the bucket. Lower the stick and the bucket to the ground.

At operating temperature, the hydraulic oil tank is hot and under

pressure. Hot oil can cause burns. To prevent possible personal injury,
release the pressure in all of the implement hydraulic circuits (the
boom, the stick and the bucket) before any of the hydraulic lines or any
of the components are disconnected or removed.

2. Release the pressure in all of the implement hydraulic circuits (the boom, the stick and the bucket) before
any of the hydraulic lines or any of the components are disconnected or removed. Release the pressure as
follows:

a. Shut off the engine and place key in the "ON" position. Put the hydraulic activation control lever in
the "UNLOCK" position.
 b. Move the control levers for the boom, the stick and the swing to all full stroke positions. This will
release any pressure that might be present in the pilot system.

c. Return key to "OFF" position.

d. Slowly loosen the fill plug on the hydraulic tank and release the pressure.

e. Tighten the fill plug on the hydraulic tank. Tighten the fill plug to a torque of 68 ± 7 *m (50 ± 5 lb
ft).

f. The pressure in the hydraulic system has been released and the hydraulic lines and the components
can be removed.

3. Drain the oil from the hydraulic oil tank in a suitable container for storage or disposal. The capacity of the
hydraulic oil tank is 130 liters (34 U.S. gal).

4. Remove four bolts (1), the washers and plate (2).

5. Disconnect tube assembly (3) and two hydraulic hoses (4) from the main control valve.

6. Disconnect tube assembly (7).

7. Remove twelve socket head bolts (5) and remove tube assembly (6).
8. Disconnect tube assembly (8) and three hydraulic hoses (10) from boom drift reduction valve (9).

9. Remove six socket head bolts (11) while supporting boom drift reduction valve (9). The weight of the
boom drift reduction valve is 15 kg (33 lb).

10. Remove boom drift reduction valve (9).

OTE: The following steps are for the installation of the boom drift reduction valve.

11. Check the condition of the O-ring seals used in the ends of the hose assemblies and the tube assemblies
that connect to the boom drift reduction valve. If any of the O-ring seals are worn or damaged, use new parts
for replacement.

12. Install boom drift reduction valve (9) in the reverse order of the removal steps.

OTE: Refer to the topic "Lubricant Viscosities and Refill Capacities" in the "Operation & Maintenance
Manual" for the proper filling procedure and the proper levels for the hydraulic system.

13. Fill the hydraulic oil tank with oil to the correct level.

Disassemble & Assemble Boom Drift Reduction Valve
