The 345C hydraulic system has been redesigned to improve reliability and to add a new toolcontrol system.

The 345C uses a Kawasaki designed main hydraulic pump group rated at 2 x 95 gpm (2 x 360 L/Min). The pump group has two variable displacement piston pumps inside a common housing, in a side-by-side configuration. The pumps will be referred to as the rear(drive) pump and the front (idler) pump throughout this presentation. The rear pump is drivenby the engine via a flexible coupling. The front pump is driven by the drive pump through agear train. The number of teeth on the gear of the drive pump is one tooth less than the gear ofthe idler pump in order to reduce harmonics in the hydraulic system. The difference in rotation-al speed due to the gearing has no significant impact on the machine performance or flow out-put. There is an internally mounted charge pump.

The pilot pump (1) is mounted to the main hydraulic pump case. The pilot pump draws oilfrom the pump case and sends it to the pilot filter (6), then to the pilot system.

The power shift proportional reducing solenoid valve (PSPRV) (2) is mounted to the top andfront of the pump case. The power shift PRVs uses pilot oil as a control signal to the pumps.Power shift pressure can be checked at tap (9).

The pump regulators (3) sit on top of the pump case. Each rotating group has its own regulator.The regulators are used to adjust the output flow of the pumps.

The front (4) and rear (5) pumps each have there own pressure tap and pressure sensor.

Two case drain filters are located behind the pilot filters.

The main control valve group is located in the center of the upper structure of the machine.The main control valve group receives pilot oil signals from the operator controls in the cab.Each pilot signal then causes the appropriate control valve to shift in the correct direction.When the valve shifts, oil flows from the main hydraulic pumps to the appropriate hydrauliccylinder or hydraulic motor to perform work. The 345C main control valve is similar to the345B II valve. The valves are:

- Stick 2 (1)

- Boom Drift Reduction Valve (2)

- Boom 1 (3)

The main control valve contains two pressure switches, the travel pressure switch (1) and theswing/implement pressure switch (2). The pressure switches are activated by the pilot logicnetwork. The switches close at 1520 kPa (220 psi) and open at 1127 kPa (166 psi).

The pressure switches are inputs to the machine ECM. The machine ECM uses these inputs totell when a hydraulic function has been activated and will release the swing brake and/or turnthe Automatic Engine Speed Control (AESC)/one touch low idle back to the current speed dialsetting.

The 345C has a pilot operated, two stage main relief valve. (Heavy lift or implement/travel).The settings are 35,487 KpA (5147 psi) for implement/travel and 36,493 KpA (5293 psi) forheavy lift mode. The high pressure setting for heavy lift must be correctly adjusted beforeadjustments can be made for implement/travel settings. Refer to the Testing and Adjustingmanual RENR7325 for the proper procedure on setting the main relief valve.

27

SERV7105-06 - 34 - NPI06/05

The 345C is available with the heavy lift option. Heavy lift provides a means to have increasedhydraulic pressure available to help complete the tack.

Heavy lift is activated by pressing the heavy lift switch on the soft switch panel in the operatorsstation. The heavy lift switch is an input to the ECM. The ECM decreases engine speed toapproximately speed dial 6, activates the heavy lift solenoid which directs pilot oil to the mainrelief valve, and increases the power shift pressure to limit the pumps to approximately 60% ofhydraulic horse power. Heavy lift mode will decrease the flow output of the pumps.Decreasing the flow output of the pumps is done to provide increased controlability andhydraulic smoothness during a heavy lift operation.

Heavy Lift Specs:

- Engine rpm range for Heavy Lift is 1420-1600 rpms.

- Hydraulic horse power is limited to 60% of full power during Heavy Lift.

- Main relief pressure range during Heavy Lift is 5147-5293 psi.

28

SERV7105-06 - 35 - NPI06/05

The 345C now uses automatic priorities for certain functions based on the position of the joysticks. The 345C does not use priority modes on the monitor like the 345B II did.

The boom priority (1) and the swing priority (2) pressure reducing valves are located behind theswing bearing on the left side of the machine.

The boom priority PRV provides boom up priority over the stick in function. The swing priori-ty PRV provides swing priority over the stick in or stick out function.

FAN SYSTEM BLOCK DIAGRAM

The fan pump is mounted on the left front (counterweight side) of the engine, and is driventhough the front gear train.

The pump controls now have a proportional solenoid mounted in them. The solenoid directs oilto control the displacement of the fan pump. The solenoid is an output of the ECM. The solenoid uses engine coolant temperature and hydraulic oil temperature to determine the displacement of the pump.

The solenoid can be calibrated through the monitor or through Caterpillar ET in the fan speedcalibration.

Under normal operating conditions, the fan rpm will vary between 600 and 1050 rpm. If thesolenoid signal goes to zero, the fan speed will go to a maximum mechanical fan speed that isgoverned by the pump controls. The fan speed will be greater than 1050 rpms and pump delivery pressure around 4500 psi. Maximum speed will be constant, regardless of coolant andoil temperatures. If there is an open circuit, an error code will appear on the monitor as well.

32

SERV7105-06 - 39 - NPI06/05

The fan motor is a fixed displacement piston motor. The swashplate of the fan motor is at afixed maximum position. Case drain oil from the fan motor is shared with the swing motorsand the travel motors. Return oil from the motor is sent to the return filters and into thehydraulic tank.

An internal makeup valve in the motor is used to supply makeup oil to the motor when flowfrom the pump is shut off. The makeup oil allows the motor to get oil when no flow is presentin order to prevent the motor from cavitating. The makeup oil prevents damage and prematurewear.

The direction of the fan can be reversed on machines equipped with the reversible fan. Thereversal of the fan motor is used to clear debris and dust from the radiator and hydraulic oilcooler. The direction of rotation can be changed with the monitor.

SERV7105-06 - 41 - NPI06/05

TOOL CONTROL SYSTEM

The tool control system for the 345C is similar in function to the tool control systems for the320C - 330C medium excavators.

The optional tool control system maximizes work tool productivity by configuring hydraulicflow, pressure, and operator controls to match a specific work tool. System versatility enables awide range of tool to be used.

The 345C is available with the following factory installed Tool Control systems:

- System 3 (Hammer) - provides two pump flow in a single direction only. Includesmechanical LRV for lower psi tools (single action).

- System 5/15 (Thumb) - provides one pump flow in both directions (extend/retract doubleaction) can be controlled with a foot pedal (system 5) or with joystick buttons (system 15).

- System 14 (Multifunction) - provides one or two pump flow on one or two directions(single action or double action). System 14 has full electronic controls with a dedicatedwork tool system ECM. System 14 also features an independent medium pressure circuitused for such applications as a rotating shear or ditch cleaning bucket.
