NOTICE
Care must be taken to ensure that fluids are contained during performance of inspection, maintenance, testing, adjusting
and repair of the product. Be prepared to collect the fluid with suitable containers before opening any compartment or
disassembling any component containing fluids.
Refer to Special Publication, NENG2500, "Caterpillar Tools and Shop Products Guide" for tools and supplies suitable to
collect and contain fluids on Caterpillar products.
2. Connect a 4000 kPa (580 psi) pressure gauge to pressure tap (2) .
3. Connect a 60000 kPa (8600 psi) pressure gauge to pressure tap (1) .
4. Install 6V-4143 Coupler Assembly (2), 6V-3014 Hose, 6V-3965 Nipple Assembly and 8T-0859 Pressure Gauge at pressure tap (3) .
M300 Technician
1. Start the engine.

7. Turn adjustment screw (5) clockwise and watch the pressure gauge on pressure tap (1). Continue turning the adjustment screw
clockwise until the pressure is 10000 kPa (1450 psi).
Note: The pressure at pressure tap (3) should be near 0 kPa (0 psi).

8. While the engine is running, maintain the power shift pressure at a constant pressure. Use the following procedure to obtain the constant
power shift pressure:

viii. Use the arrow keys to select the "Current Adjust" option.
x. Use the arrow keys to change the numeric value until the power shift pressure on the gauge at pressure tap (2) is approximately 1770
kPa (265 psi). Start with a numeric value of 55.
Note: During the test, never try to turn the starter switch to the OFF position in order to prevent any change in power shift pressure.
9. Move the joystick to the full STICK IN position until the cylinder is fully extended.
10. Adjust the main relief valve in order to increase the main pump pressure at pressure tap (1). Turn adjustment screw (5) clockwise in
order to increase the pressure at pressure tap (1) .
When the main pump pressure at pressure tap (1) is 14000 to 16000 kPa (2030 to 2320 psi), there should be a sudden pressure
increase at pressure tap (3). Pressure at pressure tap (3) should be approximately 1/3 of the main pump pressure at pressure tap (1) .

11. If the destroking pressure is incorrect, use adjustment screw (7) to adjust the pressure.
12. Loosen the locknut on adjustment screw (7). Turn adjustment screw (7) until a sudden increase in pressure occurs at pressure tap (3).
The increase in pressure should occur when the main pump pressure is 14000 to 16000 kPa (2030 to 2320 psi).
14. Reset the main relief valve pressure to the proper specification. Refer to Testing and Adjusting, "Specifications" in this manual for the
correct pressure. Refer to Testing and Adjusting, "Relief Valve (Main) - Test and Adjust".
