INTRODUCTION
The "E" Series Backhoe Loader family is the latest generation of Caterpillar Backhoe Loaders,
retaining many of the features proven on the "D" Series machines, along with additional
performance and design improvements.
This presentation discusses the components and system operation of the "E" Series Backhoe
Loaders.
The hydraulic system has been changed from a Load Sensing/Pressure Compensated (LS/PC)
system to a Proportional Priority, Pressure Compensated (PPPC) system. Two types of PPPC
systems are used. The 416E, 422E, and 428E machines with mechanically controlled
implement hydraulic valves use one type of PPPC system. The 420E, 430E, 432E, 434E, 442E,
and 444E machines use another type of PPPC system.
The "E" Series BHL product line is the first new complete redesign since the "C" Series, and
brings significant improvements in performance, operator comfort, controllability, versatility,
and styling.

The "E" Series machines include models that are equipped with the center pivot backhoe and
the sideshift backhoe. The sideshift models can be equipped with an optional powered
sideshift. The sideshift models 434E and 444E are equipped with Equal Size Tires (EST). The
last digit ("4") in the model number designates the EST option.
The 416E and 422E models are equipped with a single tilt loader and the 420E and 430E
models can be equipped with a single tilt or parallel lift loader. When equipped with the
parallel lift linkage the 420E is referred to as the 420E IT and the 430E is referred to as the
430E IT. The 428E and the 432E through the 444E models come standard with the parallel lift
loader.
The 416E, 422E, and 428E models include mechanically controlled loader and backhoe
implement hydraulic valves. The 420E and 430E models can be equipped with mechanically
controlled or pilot controlled loader valves. The backhoe valves on the 420E and 430E models
are pilot controlled. The loader and backhoe valves on the 432E through the 444E models are
pilot controlled hydraulic valves.
The "E" Series machines are equipped with either a two wheel drive or All Wheel Drive (AWD)
power train and a standard or autoshift transmission.
The standard countershaft transmission is available in all "E" Series models. The autoshift
transmission is also available on the 420E, 430E, 432E, 434E, 442E, and 444E models.

The standard and autoshift transmissions feature new control solenoids which provide
improved clutch pressure modulation for smoother clutch engagement and longer life.
An All Wheel Steer (AWS) system is available on the 432E and the 442E models and standard
on the 434E and the 444E models.
The "E" Series backhoe loaders are powered by direct injection, four cylinder Caterpillar
3054C diesel engines. Turbocharged engines are optional on the 416E and 422E models and
standard on all other models.
The 420E, 430E, 432E, 434E, 442E, and 444E machines are equipped with hydraulically
assisted master cylinders to reduce the amount of pedal effort. An external brake boost valve
uses oil from the pilot accumulator to add boost to the master cylinder. The hydraulic force
multiplies the pedal effort so the operator can get more braking force with less effort.

SIMILARITIES WITH FORMER MACHINES

- Engines
- Fuel Syst ems
- All Wheel Steering (AWS)
- Ride Control
- Transmissions
- St andard Brake Syst em ( 4 1 6 E/ 4 2 2 E/ 4 2 8 E)
- Maint enance
The "E" Series machines have many similarities to the machines they are replacing.
The basic engine and fuel system are the same as the updated "D" Series Tier II machines.
Glow plugs have replaced the thermal starting aid and a start aid relay has been added.
The All Wheel Steer system is the same as the updated "D" Series machines.
The Ride Control System is similar except for a second solenoid that has been added, which
combines the check valve and shutoff valve.
Most of the daily service fill and check points are the same and can be accessed through the
hinged engine hood. The maintenance intervals are the same except the refrigerant dryer
replacement interval has increased from one to two years.
The standard brake system (non-boosted) on the 416E, 422E, and 428E machines is the same as
the "D" Series machines.
The transmission is similar to the "D" Series machines. Modulation valves have been added to
the standard and autoshift transmissions to improve clutch modulation, which results in
smoother transmission shifting. A forward drive gear has been added to the countershaft in the
standard transmission. The forward drive gear increases the machine top speed to
40 km/h (25 mph), the same as the autoshift transmission.

also located below the fuse panel and is now accessible without removing the fuse block access
panel. The Machine ECM replaces the Auxiliary ECM and Autoshift ECM.
The optional Machine Security System (MSS) is no longer used. I new Caterpillar Immobilizer
System is used instead. This system uses all new components including a touchkey reader. The
Caterpillar Immobilizer System will be available initially as an option only on sideshift
machines.
The transmission control valves include modulating relief valves and load pistons to provide
smoother clutch engagements.
The rear final drive planetary gears have been moved outboard of the differential. Brake
inspection ports have been added to the axle.
NOTE: The brake inspection ports were on the "C" Series machines, but removed from
the "D" Series machines.

The differential lock is controlled by a solenoid rather than mechanically as on the "D" Series.
The 420E, 430E, 432E, 434E, 442E, and 444E machines are now equipped with hydraulically
assisted master cylinders, which decreases pedal effort when braking. The implement hydraulic
system has changed from a LS/PC system to a PPPC system, which provides better
performance when using multiple functions.
Additional changes to the hydraulic system include:
- A torque control solenoid has been added to the steering and implement pump on the
420E, 430E, 432E, 434E ,442E, and 444E machines, which provides a higher pump
setting.
- The steering system on the pilot machines includes a redesigned priority valve.
- The pilot loader joysticks and pilot backhoe joysticks have been redesigned.
- The pattern change valve is controlled by a switch and two solenoids rather than
mechanically as on the "D" Series.
- The sideshift machines can be equipped with an optional powered sideshift, which allows
the backhoe to be hydraulically shifted across the slider.
- The E-Stick uses an extendible slider with a new wear pad design.

ENGINE
The "E" Series Backhoe Loaders are equipped with a 3054C engine (1). The 3054C engine
meets EPA Tier II emissions requirements, the same as the "D" Series update machines.
The standard engine for the 416E and 422E is the 3054C DINA (Direct Injection Naturally
Aspirated) engine which maintains the same horsepower as the previous machines at
55 kW (74 hp).
The optional engine for the 416E and 422E is the 3054C DIT (Direct Injection Turbocharged)
engine. The horsepower has been increased from 60 kW (80 hp) in the "D" Series models to
66 kW (89 hp) in the "E" Series models.
The 420E/428E/430E/432E/434E/442E and 444E machines are all equipped with the 3054C
turbocharged engine. Horsepower ratings are:
- 420E/428E/432E/434E with standard transmission: 66 kW (89 hp)
- 428E/430E/442E/444E with standard transmission: 72 kW (97 hp)
- 420E/430E/432E/434E/442E/444E with autoshift transmission: 72 kW (97 hp)

The "E" Series Backhoe Loaders use different fuel pumps depending on whether the engine is
naturally aspirated or turbocharged. Both fuel pumps have been used before on other
Caterpillar products.
These fuel pumps are not repairable except by the manufacturer's certified service centers.
However, the low idle can be adjusted and the engine shutdown solenoid (1) can be replaced
in-chassis.
Machines equipped with a naturally aspirated 3054C DINA engine (not shown) will have a
Bosch distributor-type mechanical fuel pump. These fuel pumps use a cam plate, rollers, and
springs to move the distributor plunger in and out of the fuel pump housing. This motion
creates pressurized fuel which is distributed to the injectors.
Machines equipped with a turbocharged 3054C DIT engine will have a Delphi distributor-type,
plunger-type mechanical fuel pump (2). These fuel pumps contain plungers, a cam ring, and
shoes in the rotor assembly. As the rotor turns, the cam ring forces the shoes and plungers in to
increase the fuel pressure. The pressurized fuel is then directed to the injectors.
Both fuel pumps are also equipped with an automatic advance mechanism (3) and a cold start
advance solenoid (4).
The automatic advance mechanism controls the advance of injection, while the cold start
advance solenoid is used at startup to reduce white smoke by advancing the engine timing to
improve cold idling combustion capability.

If a new pump is installed on the engine, a locking bolt (3) and a two position spacer in the
pump flange below the timing mark on the pump engine flange must be loosened after
installing the pump on the engine.
In the locked position, the bolt prevents the pump drive shaft from turning. Move the spacer to
provide additional clearance between the bolt head and the pump flange to unlock the pump
drive shaft.
If this procedure is not performed, the fuel pump will be damaged if an attempt is made to start
the engine. If the screw is removed before being installed on the engine, the fuel pump will no
longer be timed and will require retiming at the manufacturer's service center.

This cutaway illustration shows the Bosch distributor-type injection pump used on the naturally
aspirated 3054C which is standard on the 416E/422E models. The distributor pump has only
one high pressure pump chamber and one plunger regardless of the number of cylinders in the
engine. The fuel is delivered through a groove in the plunger to the outlet ports as determined
by the number of cylinders in the engine.
The injection pump consists of the following subassemblies:
Feed pump: Consists of a vane-type pump that pulls fuel from the tank and supplies fuel to
the high pressure pump chamber. The feed pump is driven by the pump drive shaft.
High pressure pump with distributor: Delivers fuel under high pressure through a plunger to
the delivery valves. The plunger moves axially due to the rotation of the cam plate. The
plunger is also driven by the pump drive shaft.
Mechanical governor: Controls engine speed through various load ranges. The flyweights
control the governor lever position.
Timing advance mechanism: Adjusts the start of fuel delivery as a function of pump speed
and load.
Engine shutoff solenoid: When de-energized, blocks fuel to the plunger fill port to stop the
engine.
NOTE: Refer to "Distributor-type Mechanical Fuel Pump-3044C/3046 Tier II Engines"

This illustration shows the schematic for the 3054C turbocharged Tier II engine. All
components shown in the schematic except for the fuel tank, priming (lift) pump/filter/water
separator, lift pump (mechanical), fuel filter, and injector are part of the fuel injection pump.
The system is shown in the START ADVANCE POSITION.
The mechanical feed or lift pump is used to move fuel from the fuel tank to a higher level on
the machine. The pump is also used to prime the system.
The water separator portion of the fuel filter removes water from the fuel. Since the fuel
injection pump is lubricated by fuel, it is extremely important that water does not enter the
pump. Water will cause the pump to malfunction and will lead to the rotor and plungers
locking up. The water separator should be serviced daily.
Combined with the filter/water separator is an electric priming or lift pump to assist in
priming the fuel pump.
The transfer pump draws fuel from the tank and supplies fuel to the injection pump.

Section 1
The hydraulic head is machined with bores and passages which allow fuel to flow to and from
a specific point. For example, fuel flows from the transfer pump to the metering valve or from
the metering valve to the inlet passage to the rotor.
The rotor is located in the hydraulic head. The rotor distributes fuel to the delivery valves.
The rotor has four inlet passages and one outlet passage. As the rotor turns, fuel enters the
passages in the rotor and forces the plungers in the drive end of the rotor outward. As the rotor
continues to turn, the inlet passage closes. As the plungers are forced inward by the cam ring
and rollers, the fuel pressure in the rotor increases. At the same time, the outlet passage opens
and fuel exits the rotor through the delivery valves to the injectors.
The transfer pressure regulator controls the fuel transfer pressure within the injection pump.
Transfer pressure will increase as engine speed increases. The regulator also permits the fuel to
bypass the transfer pump when the fuel system is being primed.
The shutoff solenoid allows fuel to enter the fuel injection pump when the solenoid is
energized. When the key start switch is moved to the OFF position, the solenoid is
de-energized and a spring moves the plunger in the solenoid to block fuel flow.
The metering valve controls the amount of fuel to the hydraulic head or rotor. The valve is
connected to a mechanical governor and the throttle or governor control lever. As the metering
valve is rotated within the hydraulic head, a delivery control groove in the valve precisely
meters fuel to the rotor.
A tapered flat on the metering valve works with the light load valve. The flat is machined in
line with the delivery control groove.
The light load advance valve and metering valve work with two control orifices in the
hydraulic head to override the normal speed advance system. During low load conditions, the
outward travel of the rollers and shoes is reduced during the rotor filling cycle, which delays
the point of roller contact with the cam lobes resulting in retarded injection.
The light load advance compensates for this delay by advancing injection at reduced fuel
levels. Passageways are drilled within the hydraulic head body to connect the metering valve
"flat" with the pressure end of the advance device (through a second control orifice) and the
pump cambox.
As the metering valve is rotated in the hydraulic head by the governor, a larger or smaller flow
path from the advance piston to the cambox is created. The relationship between the "flat" with
the delivery control groove is arranged so that, as delivery is reduced, flow past the flat is also
reduced. Thus, the pressure signal applied to the advance piston is increased to advance the
timing.
SERV1820

Section 1
The boost controller adjusts the maximum fuel delivery based on variations in the boost
pressure from the turbocharger. As boost pressure increases, the scroll plates rotate and allow
the plunger travel to increase. This action permits an increase in fuel delivery resulting in more
engine horsepower.
The torque trimmer provides a means to regulate the volume of fuel being delivered at full
load. The torque trimmer provides the maximum amount of fuel in the loadable range of the
engine which can be burned smoke free.
The delivery valves are check valves which open to allow fuel from the pumping mechanism
to the injectors. There is one delivery valve per injector. The valves rapidly reduce pressure in
the injector lines at the end of the injection cycle to ensure a rapid closure of the injector
nozzles and, in conjunction with the cam ring profile, maintain a residual pressure in the fuel
lines to the injectors.
The latch valve prevents transfer pressure from reaching the automatic advance mechanism
during cranking until the engine is started to prevent premature advance timing.
The automatic advance mechanism progressively advances the start of injection as engine
speed increases. The automatic advance mechanism causes the cam ring to rotate in the pump
housing. The spring in the mechanism moves the piston and cam ring to retard the timing,
while transfer pressure sensed on the right side of the piston works against the spring to
advance the timing.
The check valve prevents reverse fuel flow from the automatic advance due to cam loading.
The orifice permits fuel to vent from the automatic advance when the engine rpm is reduced.
The cold start advance solenoid is used to reduce white smoke by advancing the engine
timing to improve cold idling combustion capability.
At start-up, the cold start advance solenoid is energized, pushing the solenoid pin against the
piston in the automatic advance mechanism. This action moves the piston and cam ring to the
"start advance position." In this position the spring is prevented from fully retarding the engine
timing.
After the engine is started and allowed to warm up to a specified temperature, a coolant switch
opens and the cold start advance solenoid is de-energized. The solenoid pin is retracted and the
automatic advance piston is permitted its full range of travel to advance or retard the timing.
The fuel return check valve maintains a slight pressure in the fuel injection pump to ensure
good lubrication. The fuel return check valve also allows hot fuel to bleed from the injection
pump for cooling.

negative ground and either a 100 amp alternator or a 120 amp alternator. The 100 amp
alternator is installed on the 416E/422E machines. The 420E/428E/430E/432E/434E/442E and
444E machines are equipped with a 120 amp alternator. The batteries (1) are located below the
cab on the right side of the machine. The batteries are accessed by opening a panel (2) below
the step to the cab.
The standard machines are equipped with a 12 volt maintenance free battery to supply power to
the system. The machines can be equipped with two batteries along with a heavy duty
alternator for cold weather climates or for use with additional operating lights (attachments).
The system does not have a disconnect switch. To disable the electrical system, remove the
battery ground cable from the main frame. The starting system is a key start and key stop

This schematic shows the starting and charging system in the START position for engines
equipped with turbochargers. The red coded wires have battery voltage with the key start
switch in the OFF position.
When the key start switch is turned to the START position, power from the key start switch is
directed to the shuttle control through a 307 OR wire. When the shift handle of the shuttle
control is in NEUTRAL, power flows to the starter relay through a 306 GN wire.
When the starter relay closes, power from the battery energizes the starter solenoid and motor.
The starter then engages the flywheel ring gear and cranks the engine. If the fuel shutoff
solenoid is energized and the fuel lift pump motor is operating the engine will start.
At the same time power is going to the starter relay, the key start switch is directing power
through the 308 YL wires to energize the coils in Power Modules 1 and 2 to close the relays in
the two modules. When Power Module 1 relay closes, power is directed through the lift pump
fuse to provide power to the excitation resistor, the fuel lift pump relay, the cold start
temperature switch, and the start aid relay through the 123 W wires.

In the Start Mode, power is directed to the fuel lift pump arc suppressor through a 307 OR
wire. The lift pump will only start to operate when the key start switch is to turned to the
START position. Power to the lift pump arc suppressor goes through the arc suppressor to the
fuel pump relay to energize the coil electric lift pump. Once the lift pump relay coil is
energized the relay closes and power flows through the lift pump relay to operate the fuel lift
pump motor. Once the lift pump coil is energized the relay will stay closed when the key
switch is moved to the RUN position.
When the key is in either the START or RUN position, the fuel shutoff solenoid is energized
and allows fuel to flow through the fuel injection pump. Thus, the solenoid is "energized to
run."
For cold starts, the start aid switch can be used to energize the glow plugs. The glow plugs are
energized by the start aid relay. The glow plugs replaced the thermal starting aid coil used on
the "D" Series.
For cold starts, the start aid switch can be used while cranking the engine. The start aid switch
will close the start aid relay. When the start aid relay closes, power is directed to energize the
glow plugs in the cylinder head. The glow plugs heat the fuel that is injected into the cylinders
to ease starting.
Also, during cold starts the cold start temperature switch is closed, which directs power to
energize the cold start advance solenoid. With the cold start advance solenoid energized, the
automatic advance piston on the fuel pump is moved to the start advance position. Without
moving the piston to the start advance position, the fuel pump would start in the fully retarded
position. The fully retarded position is not desirable. By advancing the injection timing during
starting white smoke is reduced and cold idling combustion capability is improve.
As the engine coolant warms up, the cold start temperature switch will open causing the cold
start advance solenoid to de-energize. With the solenoid de-energized the piston in the
automatic advance mechanism is allowed its full range of movement for controlling the
injection timing.

This schematic shows the starting and charging system in the RUN position.
With the key start switch in the RUN position, power is directed through the Power Modules 1
and 2 to the accessories.
The batteries are charged by a belt-driven alternator. Also, the tachometer is powered by the
alternator.
When the key start switch is in the RUN position, power from the battery goes through Power
Module No. 1 through the excitation resistor to the "D+" terminal of the alternator to "excite"
the alternator field. When the alternator field is "excited," the alternator will turn ON at a lower
engine rpm to start charging the batteries. (If the alternator only turns ON at high engine idle,
check the "D+" circuit.)
If starter, battery, or alternator tests are being made, remove the 123-WH wire from the fuel
shutoff solenoid. Removing the wire will prevent the shutoff solenoid from being energized,
thus preventing the engine from starting.

The starting and charging system for the naturally aspirated engines is very similar to the
turbocharged engines.
The fuel shutoff solenoid is a different design and is grounded differently.
When Power Module 1 relay closes, power is directed through the load check fuse instead of
the lift pump fuses to provide power to the excitation resistor, the fuel lift pump relay, the cold
start temperature switch, and the start aid relay through the 123 W wires.

Caterpillar Immobilizer System
The Caterpillar Immobilizer System is a theft deterrent system that reduces the chance of
unwanted machine operation. The Immobilizer System is optional on the 422E, 428E, 432E,
434E, 442E, and 444E models.
The Immobilizer System uses a touchkey reader or touch pad mounted in the side console,
which reads a key fob attached to the key. A coded key fob is used to disarm the system.
Without the correctly coded key fob, the machine will not start.
The immobilizer security valve is electronically coded at the factory and is tamper proof. The
valve is specifically designed to immobilize diesel engines and cannot be electrically bypassed.
The security valve controls the solid state relay. The solid state relay provides power to the fuel
shutoff solenoid on the injector pump.
The diode assembly protects part of the security system from being bypassed by preventing
power from being back fed to the fuel shutoff solenoid.

The crank interrupt relay prevents the engine from cranking if the Immobilizer System has not
been disarmed.
Arming the system:
The system will automatically arm itself 30 seconds after the engine is turned off; no other
action is necessary. However, the engine may be restarted any time within the 30 second
period without needing to present the key fob.
In the armed condition the red LED on the reader will flash approximately once per second.
Disarming the system:
- Turn the key switch to the ON position.
- Touch the metal "button" of the key fob against the reader to extinguish the red LED on
the reader, indicating that the system is now disarmed.
- Start the engine in the normal way by turning the key switch to the START position.
If after disarming the system the engine is not started within 30 seconds, the system will
automatically re-arm.
Programming additional user (black) key fobs:
- Turn the key switch to the <ON> position.
- Touch the metal "button" of a Master (yellow) key fob against the reader. This will
extinguish the red LED on the reader, indicating that the system is now disarmed.
- Within 5 seconds touch the key fob to be programmed against the reader.
NOTE: there will be no visible indication that the system has registered the new key
fob.
-Turn the key switch off.
To program a second key fob wait until the LED is flashing, then repeat the above procedure.
NOTE: The Immobilizer System may be referred to as the Machine Security System
(MSS) in some Caterpillar literature. The Immobilizer System is preprogrammed from
the factory and a less expensive system than the MSS.

The touchkey (pad ) reader (1) is located next to the key start switch in the cab. When the key
fob (2) touches the reader, the Immobilizer System is disarmed.
Three key fobs are shipped with each machine, two master (yellow) fobs and one user (black)
fob. These two master key fobs are attached to the Operation and Maintenance Manual lanyard
(not shown).
In the center of the touch (pad) reader is an LED (3). The light will flash red when the system
is active. The system must be deactivated before the machine will start. The sequence to
deactivate the system can be performed with the engine start switch in the ON or OFF position.
In order to deactivate the system, perform the following procedure:
1. Touch the key fob to the touch reader. The system will deactivate. When the system is
deactivated, the light in the touch pad will stop flashing. If the indicator does not stop
blinking, the system did not recognize the coding of the key fob.
2. Turn the engine start switch to the ON position within 30 seconds of deactivating the
system. If the engine start switch is not turned to the ON position within 30 seconds,
the system will reactivate. The system will reactivate within 30 seconds of the engine
start switch being turned to the OFF position.
Additional key fobs can be programmed into the immobilizer system in order to allow
additional operators to start the machine.

The standard countershaft transmission is similar to the "D" Series transmission. The standard
transmission is available on all models.
A forward drive gear has been added to the countershaft, which increases the machine top speed
to 40 km/h (25 mph) the same as the Autoshift transmission. The new gear is labeled in red for
both the two wheel drive transmission (top illustration) and AWD transmission (lower
illustration).
The four-speed forward/four-speed reverse, helical gear, constant mesh, synchronized standard
transmission is coupled with hydraulically engaged FORWARD and REVERSE clutches. Each
multiple disc clutch pack is controlled by a solenoid valve. Fourth gear can be locked
mechanically.
SERV1820

Text Reference
Section 1
A manually actuated lever and shifter fork arrangement shifts the transmission through the four
fully synchronized speed ranges.
Power is transmitted from the torque converter to the input shaft. If FORWARD is selected, the
FORWARD clutch is engaged and power flows from the input shaft to the countershaft. The
countershaft causes all four speed gears to rotate. A synchronizer will engage one of the speed
gears with the output shaft. Power is then directed to the rear axle.
If the machine is equipped with AWD, a separate shaft and clutch are needed. An additional
gear on the output shaft will transmit power to the AWD shaft.
A multiple disc clutch is part of the AWD shaft group. The clutch is hydraulically engaged and
spring released. A solenoid controlled valve (not shown) directs oil to pressurize or drain the
clutch. The solenoid is energized by the AWD switch on the left front console in the cab. The
front wheel drive axle can be engaged while the vehicle is moving by activating the AWD
switch.
NOTE: The pressure taps or locations to insert pressure taps are in the same locations
as they were on the "D" Series standard transmission.

This illustration shows the power train hydraulic schematic for the standard transmission
equipped with two wheel drive.
Oil from the sump is drawn through a suction screen by a crescent-type gear pump located on
the transmission input shaft. From the pump, the oil is sent through a spin-on filter to the
transmission directional selector solenoid valve.
In NEUTRAL, the oil flow is blocked by the directional selector solenoid valve. Therefore, the
oil opens the relief valve and flows to the torque converter. A bypass orifice in the relief valve
is located between the supply circuit and torque converter circuit to make sure that oil is always
available to the torque converter when the machine is running.
The torque converter inlet relief valve protects the automotive-type torque converter from high
pressure (during cold start-up). Oil from the torque converter goes to the oil cooler, which is
located in front of the radiator.
From the cooler, the oil is used for lubrication. A passage directs lube oil to the input shaft of
the transmission. Oil from the shaft cools and lubricates the clutch assembly and input shaft
bearings. The output shaft, countershaft and reverse idler shaft are splash lubricated. The oil
then returns to the sump.
SERV1820

Text Reference
Section 1
NOTE: The lines and fittings from the torque converter and the oil cooler are sized to
provide sufficient restriction to the oil in the torque converter. A torque converter outlet
relief valve is not required.
Modulating valves have been added to the directional selector solenoid valve. The modulating
valves improve clutch modulation, which results in smoother transmission shifting. The
modulating valves consist of a modulating relief valve, orifice, and load piston.
In this illustration, with the directional selector spool shifted to the FORWARD position, oil
flows through an orifice and to the forward clutch. Oil also flows to one end of the modulating
relief valve and through an orifice to the other end of the modulating relief valve and to the
load piston.
As the oil flows into the clutch and after the clutch fills, pressure increases and the clutch
begins to engage. Oil pressure forces the modulating relief valve against the spring force,
which allows some oil to flow through the relief valve to the tank.
Oil flows at a constant rate through the orifice to the load piston. The load piston moves at a
constant speed against the heavier spring force. At the same time the load piston moves to the
right, the modulating relief valve will move up and down as the pressure increases above and
below the modulating relief valves. The time it takes for the load piston to move right and to
stop moving is the hold time of the modulation valve.
The clutch fill time must be less than the hold time. When the load piston stops, the heavy
spring is compressed.
The relief valve limits the maximum clutch pressure.
NOTE: The load piston actually consists of a light spring and one heavier spring.
Only one spring is shown in the illustration.
- The first movement of the modulating piston compresses the light spring only, which has
a minimal affect on the pressure. This provides the fill time for the clutch.
- After the clutch has filled the heavy spring starts to be compressed and this provides the
modulation ramp.
- When the modulating piston reaches the end of its travel the pressure goes up to system
pressure.
- The purpose of the orifice in the modulating piston is to give a beginning of fill pulse,
which allows the clutch to fill faster.
- Once the load piston moves far enough to the right, the orifice in the load piston no
longer affects the load piston travel.

appropriate gear for the machine.
The Machine ECM then sends an output signal to energize solenoids for the appropriate clutch.
Through Cat ET, FIRST gear can be ENABLED or DISABLED.

FIRST gear is a relatively low (slow) gear ratio, and using it may not be necessary for normal
loader work or for roading. If using AUTOSHIFT for either loading or roading, disabling
FIRST gear eliminates an extra gear shift. In extreme hard digging conditions, the neutralizer
button can be used to downshift to FIRST, and then AUTOSHIFT will upshift the transmission
as the machine speed increases.
In summary, disabling FIRST makes the machine more responsive, smoother, and efficient
(more productive). Use FIRST gear only when required.
NOTE: Pressure taps are usually provided for regulated pressure and lube pressure.

The five-speed forward, three-speed reverse transmission is equipped with six clutch packs.
The autoshift transmission uses six solenoids to control the engagement of the clutch packs.
Two clutch packs must be simultaneously engaged for the transmission to drive the machine.
The above chart shows the energized solenoids and the engaged clutch packs for each gear.
The solenoids are controlled by the Machine ECM.
In NEUTRAL, none of the solenoids are energized.
The chart can be used to identify which solenoids are energized to engage the speed and
direction clutches to obtain the desired speed range.
NOTE: The Machine ECM does not provide shift protection on the "E" Series. Shift
protection prevents the operator from changing directions at high speeds.

The autoshift transmission has two modes of operation: Automatic and Manual. The modes
are selected using the autoshift control switch on the right side of the front dash.
In the Automatic Mode, the operator controls the highest desired gear and the transmission
control automatically selects the proper gear based on machine ground speed. The transmission
determines the ground speed through the transmission speed sensors and energized speed
clutch.
In the Manual Mode, the transmission operates very similar to the standard power shift
transmission.
When the key start switch is ON, the transmission shift lever control provides an input signal to
the Machine ECM. The Machine ECM uses the shift lever control input to determine the gear
range selected on the transmission shift lever and the position of the key start switch. If the
shift lever control is not in NEUTRAL during starting, the Machine ECM will prevent the
machine from starting.

The parking brake switch provides an input signal to the Machine ECM. The Machine ECM
prevents the transmission from shifting if the parking brake is engaged and also energizes the
parking brake relay to sound the alarm.
The transmission neutral lock switch also provides an input signal to the Machine ECM. If the
transmission neutral lock switch is moved to the LOCK position, the Machine ECM shifts the
transmission into NEUTRAL and prevents the transmission from shifting, regardless of the
position of the shift lever control. The Machine ECM will not shift the transmission until after
the shift lever control is moved into the NEUTRAL position and the transmission neutral lock
switch is moved to the UNLOCK position.
When the transmission neutralizer switch is activated by the operator, the transmission will
momentarily neutralize by de-energizing the directional clutch. Only the directional clutch is
de-energized. This will improve shift speed when the button is released and the machine is
placed back into gear. In the Manual Mode, the Downshift/Neutralizer Switch will not permit
the transmission to be downshifted.
The transmission speed sensor provides output speed information to the Machine ECM. In the
Automatic Mode, the operator controls the highest desired gear and the transmission control
automatically selects the proper gear based on machine ground speed. The Machine ECM
determines the ground speed through the transmission speed sensors and energized speed
clutch.
The Machine ECM uses the input signals described above to control transmission shifting
through the transmission solenoid valves.

Axles and Brakes

The rear final drive planetary gears (1) have been moved outboard of the differential (2). There
are now separate reservoirs for final drive and differential gear oil.
Brake inspection ports have been added to the axle. The inspection ports allow for brake wear
measurements with the axle installed in the machine.
The differential lock can now be engaged on the move in either first or second gear, which
improves differential lock functionality.
The driveline parking brake disc (3) and parking brake pad assembly (4) are the same as the
"D" Series.
NOTE: The differential lock must not be engaged in third or fourth gear. On machines
with the autoshift transmission, the Machine ECM may limit the differential lock
function depending on the selected gear.

This illustration shows the master cylinders on the non-boosted 416E/422E/428E machines.
Both the right and left master cylinders are the same. Fluid from the brake fluid reservoir
enters each master cylinder through the supply port. Fluid from the reservoir fills the spring
chamber and the supply line to the brake piston. The spring and plunger prevent the valve stem
from closing the supply port.
When the operator depresses one of the brake pedals, the push rod moves against the plunger.
As the plunger moves up, trapped oil inside the plunger moves the valve stem up to block the
supply port. Fluid pressure in the spring chamber increases. As fluid pressure in the spring
chamber increases, the pressure unseats the compensation valve on the left allowing oil to flow
to the other master cylinder through the bridge pipe.
The compensation valve in the right master cylinder blocks the oil in the bridge pipe from
entering the right master cylinder. As the plunger continues to move up, it will eventually
block the inlet to the compensation valve.
At the same time that oil enters the compensation valve, oil enters the outlet pipe to the brake
piston.

Section 1
As pressure increases behind the brake piston, the piston pushes the discs and plates together
against the brake housing to ENGAGE the brake.
If the operator engages both brakes simultaneously, both compensation valves open allowing
the pressure in the spring chamber of both master cylinders to equalize.
The distance the operator depresses the brake pedal determines the pressure that the piston
exerts on the plates and discs. The farther the operator pushes the brake pedal, the more
pressure the piston applies to the plates and discs and, therefore, the greater the braking force.
When the operator releases the brake pedal, the spring in the master cylinder moves the valve
stem away from the inlet port reducing the pressure behind the brake piston. A seal around the
piston moves the piston away from the discs and plates to RELEASE the brakes.

The 420E/430E/432E/434E/442E and 444E machines are equipped with hydraulically assisted
master cylinders, which decreases the amount of pedal effort required when braking. This
illustration shows a sectional view of the boosted brake valve group, which uses oil from the
pilot accumulator to add boost to the master cylinder. The hydraulic force multiplies the pedal
effort so the operator can get more braking force with less effort.
In this illustration, the left brake (top illustration) is released and the right brake (bottom
illustration) is engaged. Compensation check valves in the compensation ports are used to
equalize the pressures in both brake actuators, when the brake pedals are depressed together.
With the brake pedal released, the pilot oil is blocked from flowing to the left end of the
secondary piston and to the center of the primary piston. The center of the primary piston and
feedback spring chamber are also open to the reservoir through the drain port.
The reservoir is located above the boosted brake group to supply oil to the boosted brake group.
Oil from the reservoir is connected to the large spring chamber in the middle of the boosted
brake group. Through a passage in the secondary piston, this oil is free to flow between the
large spring chamber and the secondary piston spring chamber on the right end. The check
valve in the secondary piston is unseated. The secondary piston spring chamber is connected by
lines to the brake actuator.

Section 1
When the brake pedal is depressed, the brake linkage moves the primary piston to the right.
Pilot oil is no longer blocked and flows to the left end of the secondary piston, to the center of
the primary piston, and to the feedback spring chamber. As pressure increases on the left end of
the secondary piston, the pressure assists the primary piston in moving the secondary piston to
the right. Pressure sensed in the feedback spring chamber works with the spring to supply
feedback or "feel" to the operator.
As the secondary piston moves to the right, the check valve seats, blocking the oil in the
secondary piston spring chamber. Oil in the secondary spring chamber is forced out of the
chamber to engage the brake. The distance that the brake pedal is depressed determines the
amount of oil flow to the brake actuator. The amount of flow determines how fully the brake is
applied. The distance the pedal is pushed also determines how much pressure is in the
secondary spring chamber and is felt at the brake actuator.
Also, as the secondary piston moves to the right, oil flows into the compensation ports. When
both brakes are applied, both compensation check valves will unseat to equalize the pressure to
both brake actuators (cutaway view - lower right).
When one pedal is depressed, both compensation check valves will move. However, one of
them will seat to block the pressurized oil from entering the other brake cylinder (cutaway view
- middle right).
When the pedal is released, springs move the secondary piston and primary pistons back to the
left reducing the pressure being sensed at the brake actuator. The check valve in the secondary
piston unseats and the oil in the chamber on the right end of the secondary piston is free to mix
with the reservoir oil in the large spring chamber.
If the engine would stop while roading the machine, the brakes can still be applied, but more
effort may be required of the operator. With the engine stopped, the pilot accumulator will still
provide some boost for a limited number of brake applications.

The brake boost valves are connected to the master cylinder (1) at each brake pedal (2). Oil
enters the master cylinder through the supply hose (3) and exits the master cylinder through the
return hose (4). The oil flows to the service brakes through the hoses (5) at the bottom of the
master cylinder.
The master cylinders can be removed from the machine from inside the operator's compartment.
