pressurize the system to find a suspected leak, use an object such as a piece of
wood or cardboard rather than your hands. When loosening a fitting where
some residual pressure may exist, slowly loosen the fitting until oil begins to
leak. Wait for leaking to stop before disconnecting the fitting. Fluid injected
under the skin must be removed immediately by a surgeon familiar with this
1
type of injury.
WARNING: Exhaust fumes can be fatal.
If operating in an enclosed area, remove the exhaust fumes with an exhaust

pipe extension to the outside.
WARNING: Raised machine or equipment can fall.
Never work under raised equipment unless it is adequately supported to

prevent it from falling.
WARNING: Batteries produce an explosive gas when in use or being

charged.
Wear protective clothing and face shield while working around batteries. Do
not smoke, and keep flames and spark away from the battery area.
Battery posts, terminals, and related accessories contain lead and lead
compounds, chemicals known to the state of California to cause cancer and
reproductive harm. Wash hands after handling.
WARNING: Failure to follow any of the preceding safety instructions or those

that follow within this manual, could result in serious injury or death. This
machine is to be used only for those purposes for which it was intended as
explained in the Operator’s Manual.

Terminology T855 Commander Trencher Service
General Information
TERMINOLOGY
System
The term system refers to the entire machine and comprises all subsystems
and individual circuits involved in all the machine functions.
11
Subsystem
A subsystem is usually responsible for a specific function. Each subsystem
has its own circuits and components designed to enable that function to
operate. The intent of the subsystem approach is to aid the service
technician in isolating circuits and components for troubleshooting,
repairing a faulty system, and returning it to service as quickly as possible.
Circuit
An identifiable grouping of components that fill a specific role within a
subsystem.
Reference Designators
Reference Designators are assigned to each component shown on the
schematics, and other reference diagrams. Each code-like designator
identifies a specific component.
The designator is comprised of an uppercase letter or letters followed by a

number. The letters identify the type of component and the number specifies
the exact component. In some cases an A-number will precede the
designator for the component. The A-number identifies an assembly that
holds the component.
Legend for The following is a list of all designators assigned the machine and the
Reference subsystem they are used in.

Functional diagrams, including schematics, and wire harness diagrams, are
located throughout the manual. The diagrams represent subsystem circuitry
and components.
Chapter Organization
Chapter 1 In addition to the General Information chapter, the manual is divided up
into chapters based on the following subsystems:
Chapter 2 The Power subsystem consists of the engine, pump drive and associated
components. This subsystem also includes the electrical circuits, safety
interlocks, and components necessary for the development and distribution
of operating current required by all the machine’s electrical functions along
with optional cab controls.
Chapter 3 The Fluid Conditioning subsystem consists of the hydraulic components that
are common to all machine subsystems. These components are involved in
the supply, filtering, cooling, and return of the oil required by the hydraulic
circuits.
Chapter 4 The Implement subsystem consists of the circuits and components necessary
to operate the trencher boom lift, hydraulic dirt drags, conveyor fold,
conveyor shift, trench cleaner fold, front attachment, coulter wheel, and
machine leveling functions.
Chapter 5 The Ground Drive subsystem consists of the circuits and components
necessary for left and right track FORWARD and REVERSE propel
functions.
Chapter 6 The Attachment subsystem consist of the circuits and components necessary
to operate the trencher drive function.
Chapter 7 The Auxiliary Hydraulics subsystem consists of the circuits and components
necessary to drive and control auxiliary hydraulic components

T855 Commander Trencher Service Troubleshooting Guidelines
General Information
TROUBLESHOOTING GUIDELINES
Problem-Solving Analysis
Situational analysis is the first step in servicing a machine to correct a
malfunction. This involves critical scrutiny and analysis of a problem
situation. It allows the troubleshooter to gain insight into an unacceptable
condition. It is defined simply as looking at the overall condition of the
machine functions and determining whether a problem even exists.
1
Perhaps there is no problem at all and it is an operating error. Perhaps the
operator is not familiar with machine interlocks for which controls must be
in the appropriate position to allow a certain function to perform. In other
words, the operator may not thoroughly understand the theory of operation.
Analysis begins by asking questions and making observations as follows:
• Discuss the defect with the operator.
• Compare the problem with others from past experiences.
• Identify the existing state of operation, (unacceptable performance or
complete failure), with a desired state, (normal or tolerable
performance).
• Make an overall observation of the situation, noting symptoms and
relevant changes.
Once the determination is made that a problem does exist, then further
investigation is needed. The first step in problem solving is to get organized.
Familiarize yourself with the Service Manual by reading all of the General
and System Information chapters.
These chapters explain in detail how the machine is comprised of multiple
separate subsystems and circuits as well as common subsystems that are
shared by all.
If the technician is not familiar with, or has limited knowledge of the
machine’s functions, that person can read the theory of operation for all or
selected subsystems.
NOTE: Do not skip analysis by jumping in and wasting a lot of time
attempting to repair or replace a component, when simply reading the
Service Manual information could easily have solved the problem.
Begin troubleshooting by doing the following:
• Describe and compare the problem situation with known operating
conditions prior to breakdown.
• Describe all known differences such as symptoms, noises, and smells
noticed when the failure occurred.
• Compare the “what is” with the “what is not”. Note what subsystems/cir-
cuits appear to be normal and which do not.

3. Disengage power to all attachments.
4. Lower all attachments to the ground.
5. Reduce engine speed to IDLE.
IMPORTANT: Whenever practical and consistent with good safety practice,
run engine without load for a few minutes before shutting it off. This allows
engine temperatures to decrease and equalize, which will increase engine
life.
6. Shut off engine and remove key.

A variation of the above procedure may be used if instructed within this
manual or if an emergency requires it.

T855 Commander Trencher Service Theory of Operation - TEC 2000.2 - Tractor Controller
Operation
The TEC2000.2 control uses two control modules. Tractor controller A4 is
used to control ground drive and engine functions. It receives power from
Power Subsystem
fuse F1 whenever the ignition switch is in ‘run’ or ‘start’. Most circuits use a
very low voltage signal, so all connections and wiring must be kept in good
shape. Before performing any repair work on the TEC 2000.2 circuits or
components, always check connector and wiring condition.
Sensor Power and Ground

Sensors are powered from individual pins on connectors P1 and P2. Most
sensor circuits are connected to ground through the controller which is
grounded at pins P2–E1 and
2
P2–B2. Grounding circuits are an essential part of sensor and control
circuits and must be carefully maintained.
PWM Outputs
In order to provide variable control of solenoid circuits, the TEC 2000.2
controllers send a pulsed signal to the solenoid coils which provides variable
operation of the function.

Ground Disconnect and Frame Grounding

The entire electrical system is grounded to the battery through the ground
disconnect S3. The alternator and starter are grounded to the engine.
Power Subsystem
Redundant grounding for frame and engine is provided through 2 frame
grounds which are connected to the engine grounding location. These
grounds use 1/0 gauge cable.
Engine Component Grounding

The alternator ALT1, the starter M1, and the starter solenoid are grounded
to the engine block.
Additional Frame Grounding
2
Several components are grounded to the frame using lighter wire at a
location separate from the heavy cable frame ground. These components
include ether solenoid L29, attachment speed solenoid L21, park brake
solenoid L20, backup alarm AD2, fuel sender R3, left track PPU B1, and
right track PPU B2.
Grounding Stud and Dash Grounding

A heavy grounding cable connected to the redundant frame ground is
connected to a grounding stud which provides a grounding location for most
of the functions related to the operator station and TEC 2000.2 control.
Components connected to the grounding stud include a dash ground, power
relays K1–2, park brake switch S6, attachment speed switch S7, toggle
switch S5, and data module S5. Also grounded to the grounding stud are the
TEC 2000 controller A4, ground drive and attachment controls A1–3, the
start relay K3, gauges GA1–3 and the TEC 2000.2 control display DS5.

ungrounded, ‘lo’ if grounded. This allows the control program to disable
starting until all required conditions are met. In the above diagram, if all of
the switches are in required neutral interlock position, resulting in the
required signal status at the controller, it will allow starting by providing
power to the K3 start enable relay. If any of the switches are not in the
required neutral interlock position the controller will prevent starting by
2
shutting off power to the K3 relay.
Cold Start Aid

The cold start aid (ether assist) function consists of ignition switch S1, ether
switch S9, and ether solenoid L29.

Troubleshooting T855 Commander Trencher Service
TROUBLESHOOTING
Review information in the General Information chapter under
Power Subsystem
"Troubleshooting Guidelines," page 1-23.
NOTE: If multiple subsystems have failed, investigate the components that

are common (shared) by all subsystems.
If a malfunction does occur, first do the following visual checks to inspect for
obvious signs of failures before any extensive troubleshooting or testing is
performed. If nothing is found, refer to the circuit schematics on the
previous pages and continue troubleshooting/testing the circuit(s) affected.
21
Visual Inspection
Inspect electrical circuits for clues to malfunction. Always check the
following items before turning on switches or running the unit.
• Check circuit breaker.

• Look for bare wires that could cause grounds or shorts.
• Look for broken, missing, corroded, or loose wires on the power wires
that supply electrical circuit components. Check all ground connections
on the machine and chassis for tight connections. Cleaning harness
connections or ground connections can often correct what appears to be a
malfunctioning component.
• Check for overheated components after the unit has been stopped for
awhile. They will often smell like burned insulation.
Correct any problems found during the inspection. Operate machine to

verify the malfunction is fixed.

Oil supplying top left attachment pump A14, top right attachment pump
A13, and bottom left attachment pump assembly A8 is drawn from suction
strainers SR2, SR3, and SR4. Return oil from attachment shuttle valve A15
and attachment pump cases travels to through the return manifold and the
oil cooler to the return filters FL1, FL2, FL3, FL4. If return pressure at the
cooler exceeds 50 psi (3.5 bar) return oil bypasses the cooler and goes
directly to the return filters. Return filters are bypassed if pressure exceeds
22 psi (1.5 bar). Return oil from the attachment drive motor case and
trencher bearing flush case goes directly to the return filters.

Charge Pressure Theory of Operation T855 Commander Trencher Service
General
Charge pressure is maintained by a separate charge pump within each of
the five hydrostatic pumps. All five pumps use remote charge filters.
Attachment Charge Pressure

Each attachment pump assembly has its pressure relief installed before the
filter. If the charge filter becomes plugged, charge pressure to the
hydrostatic pump closed loop and control will be reduced resulting in
reduced performance of the attachment, but reducing potential damage to
closed loop components. A charge boost check valve and accumulator
mounted externally helps to provide extra oil to reduce the effects of shock
induced cavitation in the closed loop.
Ground Drive Charge Pressure

The ground drive pump assemblies A17 and A18 use a pressure relief
31
installed before the charge filters FL5 and FL6. If the charge filter becomes
plugged, charge pressure to the hydrostatic pump closed loop and control
will be reduced resulting in reduced ground drive performance but reducing
potential damage to closed loop components.

Pilot Pressure
• Pilot pressure is supplied to the track brake release cylinders and to the
attachment 2-speed shift servo. Reduced pressure at 500 psi (34.5 bar) or
less is required for these functions. Implement pump assembly A7 oil is
supplied to the pilot pressure manifold A26. When the implement pump
is on standby and no load sensing hydraulic functions have been acti-
vated, pump pressure will be approximately 400 psi (27.6 bar) which is
sufficient for pilot pressure use. When an implement function is acti-
vated, the load sense pump responds with increased flow and pressure
up to the system limit pressure of 2500 psi (172 bar). The pressure reduc-
ing valve PV6 in the pilot pressure manifold responds to the increased
pressure by modulating towards the vent position. This maintains pilot
pressure to the brake release and 2-speed functions between 400 psi
(27.6 bar) and 500 psi (34.5 bar) regardless of higher implement pres-
sure.

The load sense pump is a variable displacement pump capable of infinitely
adjusting pump displacement from zero (destroked) to full (stroked) in
response to operating conditions. The following principles apply:
• Under standby conditions (no hydraulic functions are being operated),

pump pressure will be maintained at 400 psi (27.6 bar) and displacement
will be reduced to nearly zero (pump will supply only enough oil to
replace internal leakage).
• When a function is activated, the pump will increase displacement in
response to the operator’s control of the function. Displacement will be
matched to desired flow as indicated by the distance the operator strokes
the control lever. Pressure will be maintained between the minimum 400
psi (27.6 bar) and the maximum 3000 psi
(207 bar) and results from the resistance of the function to the pump flow.
• When a function control is fully actuated, pump flow will go to maxi-
mum, while pressure may remain below the 3000 psi (207 bar) limit if
there is little resistance to the cylinder or motor being operated.
• When a cylinder or motor is deadheaded, pressure will be maintained at
the 3000 psi
(207 bar) limit while pump displacement will be reduced to near zero (only
replacing oil lost to internal leakage).

Oil Supply
Oil is supplied to the implement pump through the suction inlet screen SR1.
The implement pump provides oil flow to the main valve A11 according to
the demand sensed through the load sense line. Pressure developed also
varies according to the load sense circuit and is variable based on load sense
signals from the various functions
Oil returning from the manual valve flows to the reservoir by way of the
return filters FL1, FL2, and FL3

Auto Down Pressure Function

The auto down pressure function applies down pressure on the stabilizers in
order to maintain a consistent trench or cut depth as the machine operates.
It generally works in conjunction with a field-installed laser leveling system.
Turning on the auto down pressure switch energizes directional control
valve DC13 and auto down pressure poppet valves DC5 and DC6. Adjustable
relief valves PV33–34 allow pressurized oil flow into the down pressure
circuit until the desired pressure is reached. If pressure in the circuit
exceeds the preset value, oil is vented to tank.

Machine Tilt Functions

Electrically operated solenoid valves provide pressurized oil to raise and
lower each side of the machine and to level the tracks. Solenoid valves DC10
and DC11 direct oil from the machine tilt valves whenever Auto Tilt is not
selected.

The tilt function provides for lifting the machine on either side as well as
leveling the tracks to maintain soil contact. The Auto Tilt function senses
machine tilt and automatically actuates raise and lower functions to keep
the machine level at up to a 19% grade.

Auto Tilt Electrical/Hydraulic Theory of Operation

The solenoid valve assembly is used to direct pressurized fluid to various
hydraulic functions and to hold cylinder functions against movement when
not under solenoid control. The solenoid valve assembly supplies a load
sense signal to the load sense pump A7/PMP1 ‘LS’ port for all functions
except auto down pressure.
Solenoid valves are operated by switches receiving power from the valve
bank fuse F5 and tilt valve fuse F6. These fuses are powered from the main
power relay K1 (refer to "Circuits/Components," page 2-1).

WARNING: Pressurized fluid can penetrate body tissue and result in

serious injury or death. Leaks can be invisible. Keep away from any
suspected leak. Relieve pressure in the hydraulic system before searching
for leaks, disconnecting hoses, or performing any other work on the system.

If you must pressurize the system to find a suspected leak, use an object
such as a piece of wood or cardboard rather than your hands. When
loosening a fitting where some residual pressure may exist, slowly loosen
the fitting until oil begins to leak. Wait for leaking to stop before
disconnecting the fitting. Fluid injected under the skin must be removed
immediately by a surgeon familiar with this type of injury.
Relieve all hydraulic system pressure before disconnecting lines, hoses, or

performing other work. Ensure all connections are tight, and that hoses and
lines are in good condition before applying pressure to system.
1. Follow "Shutdown Procedure," page 1-24.

2. Loosen hose fitting to release any remaining line pressure before
removing hose.
NOTE: Remove all lines as though there is hydraulic pressure in lines.

T855 Commander Track Trencher Service Theory of Operation - Ground Drive
Ground Drive Pump Operation

The Ground Drive subsystem drives left and right tracks to propel the
machine forward and reverse. Each track drive system consists of a
hydrostatic pump and motor capable of independently operating in full
forward or reverse.
Ground Drive Motors

Ground drive motors drive the tracks through planetary reduction gearing.
Motors are braked by spring-applied, hydraulically released multiple disk
brakes. Brakes are released and motors are shifted from low speed/high
displacement to high speed/low displacement by applying oil from the

pressure reducing manifold.
Ground Drive Pumps

Each ground drive motor is driven by an independent hydrostatic pump.
Pumps include pressure limiter valves which destroke pumps in the event of
loop overpressure and pressure reliefs which relieve high pressure in the
event of instantaneous high pressure spikes or pressure limiter failure.
Ground Drive Control

Ground drive pumps are controlled by the TEC 2000.2 controller A4, based
on inputs from the propel control A2 and the steering control A3. Functions
5
include track control based on TEC 2000.2 sensing engine RPM and
speeding or slowing tracks for optimum productivity.

T855 Commander Trencher Service Theory of Operation
Attachment Pump and Motor Operation

The Attachment Drive subsystem uses a three hydrostatic pumps to drive
the trencher drive motor to run the digging chain in forward or reverse.
Attachment Drive Control

The attachment pumps are controlled by the TEC 2000.2 controller A33,
based on inputs from the attachment control A1. Controller pin P4–J1 is
connected to top right pump EDC coil L22, which is connected in series to
top left pump EDC coil L23 and then to bottom left pump EDC coil L24. Coil
L24 is connected to the controller
pin P4–J3. The controller varies the signal to the attachment EDC circuit
thereby controlling the swashplates in the attachment pump assemblies A8,
A13 and A14.

General Guidelines When Servicing Hydrostatic Drive

Hydrostatic drive components are precision-built to very close tolerances
and operate at very high pressures. Cleanliness is extremely important
when servicing a hydrostatic system. Do not allow dirt, dust, or debris to
enter hydraulic system. Contaminated oil will ruin pump and motor in a
short amount of time.

Contamination
fittings.
Hydrostatic system can be easily damaged by contamination or lack of oil
during start-up. After repairing a hydrostatic system, use following
procedure to provide an adequate supply of filtered oil to each part of
system:

• Flow Meter capable of 50 gpm (189 L/min)
WARNING: To prevent serious injury or death to you or others, and prevent invalid test
results, the pressure and flow ratings of the circuit must be equal to, or greater than the
pressure and flow ratings of the circuit being tested. Ensure any hoses or fittings that
are added to the test equipment are the same size and rating as hoses and fittings
installed in the hydraulic circuit. Mismatched hose or fitting sizes can result in
erroneous pressure indications. Mismatched pressure ratings can result in leakage or
personal injury

Headshaft Bearings
Overview NOTE: Bearing must be split (destroyed) to remove or replace it, inner
seals, and O-rings. For this reason, whenever you replace bearing, replace all
seals and O-rings with new parts.
New bearing is heated in oil to expand it, and then quickly placed on shaft
where it cools and contracts to an interference fit. Since shaft will draw heat
from bearing rapidly, it is important that you thoroughly understand
procedure and have all parts and tools at hand before attempting to install
bearing.

2. Heat bearing with an induction heater to 275°F (135°C).
Hot Oil Method
WARNING: Hot oil splashed onto exposed skin or clothing can result in serious burns. Wear
face shield and protective clothing when working with hot oil. Never reach into hot oil with
gloves on. Use a tool to lift bearings from hot oil.
1. Suspend new bearing in heating container. Do not let bearing’s surface

touch bottom or sides of pan. Cover bearing with hydraulic oil and heat
pan and oil to 275°F (135°C). Use thermometer to monitor temperature.
If oil is too cool, bearing will not expand sufficiently. If it becomes too hot,
bearing can be damaged. When heated, use a tool to pull bearing out of
hot oil. Wear clean leather gloves to handle hot bearing.
2. Using clean leather gloves to protect your hands, slide bearing onto shaft
as quickly as possible.
Put bearing install tool (tube) over shaft, and tap end of tool to drive
bearing fully against its landing.
Shaft will act as a heat sink so bearing will cool quickly.

3. When bearing is cool to touch, remove clamps from bearing retainer.
Rubber seals will press retainer against bearing.

Install Caterpillar Duo-Cone seals are used on machine. We are paraphrasing

manufacture’s installation instructions here.
Seal rings, rubber toric rings, and housings must be clean and free of oil
film, dust, or foreign matter.
1. Clean rubber toric rings and housings using a solvent that evaporates
quickly and without residue and is compatible with rubber toric rings.
Isopropyl alcohol is recommended.
2. After parts are clean and dry, install rubber toric ring on metal seal ring
so toric ring lies in radius on tail of ring.
3. Check mold line in toric ring to ensure it is straight. If it is not straight,
toric ring is twisted, which can result in leakage and debris getting past
seal. Straighten a twisted toric ring by gently pulling a section of toric
away from metal ring and letting it “snap” back. Repeat this in several
places around ring until mold line is straight.
4. Caterpillar also sells an installation tool (CAT P/N 1U-6441) used with
Duo-Cone seals. Place seal in installation tool. Dip a lint-free cloth in
solvent (isopropyl alcohol) and wipe rubber toric ring thoroughly.
(Alcohol serves as a lubricant until it evaporates.)
5. Without delay, use tool to position toric ring (on seal ring) squarely
against housing. Using quick but even pressure, pop toric ring under
retaining lip of housing.

6. In at least four places around circumference, measure height of metal

seal ring above housing. This value, called standout, should be 0.45″
(11.5 mm).
Variation between four measurements taken should not exceed 0.04″ (1.0
mm).
To push seal farther in, use installation tool and press in on toric ring.
To pull seal out a small amount, you may use your fingers on toric ring or
fashion a hook from wire to reach behind toric ring and pull it. Do not
allow hook to cut into rubber.
IMPORTANT: Do not press directly on metal seal ring to attempt to adjust
standout. Doing so will cause toric ring to twist.
If lubricant (isopropyl alcohol) evaporates before toric ring is seated evenly,

use installation tool to remove seal and toric ring. Re-wet toric ring and
attempt to seat it again.
6
After it is properly installed, allow isopropyl alcohol to evaporate so toric
ring will roll, rather than slide in housing when face-load is increased.
Metal surfaces of two Duo-Cone seals must mate smoothly against each
other. Clean metal surfaces of all lint or other matter. Inspect them carefully.
A small piece of lint can hold seal surfaces apart far enough to leak.
7. After installing seals in both mating parts, use a clean finger, a tissue, or
an applicator to apply a thin film of clean oil to mating metal surfaces of
seals.
Assemble mating parts squarely so full face of one seal presses against
full face of its mating seal (to avoid “cocking” seal).

The solenoid valve assembly is used to direct pressurized fluid to optional,
field-installed hydraulic functions and to hold cylinder functions against
movement when not under solenoid control. The solenoid valve assembly
supplies a load sense signal to the load sense pump A4/PMP7 ‘LS’ port for all
functions.
Electrical Controls
Solenoid valves are operated by switches receiving power from the auxiliary
fuse F9. These fuses are powered from the main power relay K1 (refer to

Operation
Cross conveyor pump PMP12 constantly circulates oil through the conveyor
control valve assembly A32. When the conveyor is in NEUTRAL, all of the
oil from the pump flows through the directional control valve DC22 directly
to the tank. When the lever is stroked in either direction, oil flow is split
between the tank and the two conveyor drive motors MH5 and MH7. If the
valve is fully stroked, all of the oil from the pump is directed to drive the two
motors.

Auxiliary conveyor pump PMP13 is a pressure and flow compensated

variable displacement pump which functions the same as the implement
pump. Pressurized oil at 400 psi (27.6 bar) is present at auxiliary control
valve DC23. The auxiliary conveyor control is used to signal the trencher
controller A31 which sends a control signal to L32 or L33 to operate the
conveyor. Pump output and pressure is controlled by the load sense signal.

Attachment Pump and Motor Operation

The Rock Cutter Drive subsystem uses three independent hydrostatic
pumps to drive the trencher drive motor to run the rock cutter in forward or
reverse.
Attachment Drive Control

The attachment pumps are controlled by the TEC 2000.2 controller A33,
based on inputs from the attachment control A1. Controller pin P4–J1 is
connected to top right pump EDC coil L22, which is connected in series to
top left pump EDC coil L23 and then to bottom left pump EDC coil L24. Coil
L24 is connected to the controller
pin P4–J3. The controller varies the signal to the attachment EDC circuit
thereby controlling the swashplates in the attachment pump assemblies A8,
A13 and A14.
