operation and maintenance, and get acquainted with their position
and function of every button, handle, instrument and alarm.
● Fathom all the regulations and rules of operating, and learn to use all
signals when working.
● If some grease or oil has been found on the operator's platform, it must
be cleaned away at once to avoid slipping.
● Checks should be done correctly before and after operation, such as
checking whether it is in safe condition to all safety protection

9
 devices, whether it is worn to the tyre and whether it is normal to the
air pressure of tyre. If ignoring oil leakage, water leakage,
deformation, loosening, abnormal noise etc., you will have the
chance to be knocked down by troubles and serious accidents. So
regular checking is necessary.
Lock the grader before leaving from the driver's seat
●The operator must lock the gear lever with lock device, make the
parking brake engaged and put it in brake position which could
prevent accidents from occurring because of touching the lock device
unlocked to make the working device move
● When leaving from the machine, make sure to lower all the working
mechanism down to the ground. And lock the control handles with
locking devices, then shut off the engine and switch off all the key-
switches. Keep the keys safely.
Proceeding to be watchful when using power-reservoir

may be risk for using it. Therefore read the following precaution
items before using the power-reservoir.
● The power-reservoir can only be filled with nitrogen gas so it is not
allowed to fill in oxygen, compressed air or other combustible gas, so
as to avoid gas explosion.
● The power-reservoir must be securely fastened on the support frame.
And it is strictly prohibited to fix the power-reservoir by means of
welding,
● Never drill holes on the power-reservoir, and never have the spark or
flame get near the power-reservoir.
● Do not welding any protruding support on the power-reservoir.
● The power-reservoir is of the high-pressure container, so only the
trained and qualified people could carry out replacement and repair for
it. Before dismounting it, drain off the pressure oil and release off the
nitrogen gas by a special tool, then dismount the components.
● Before rejecting the power-reservoir, it is a must to release the gas
first.
Get on/off the grader
● Check the handrail or ladder before getting on/off the grader, if grease,
lubrication or mud is found, clean away at once. Moreover, repair
worn parts and nail the un-tightened bolt in time.

IV Safety traveling
Personal security

18
● Have a good operation habit, for the case of everybody safety.
● Sound the horn to warn people in the area before traveling
● Be sure there is no person or obstacles around the machine
● Do not put the arms or legs on the task equipment or extend them out
of the cab

● During operating the machine, keep your mind concentrated on

working. Don't look around or outside, otherwise incident will be
arising. Attention should be paid to the driving direction and
surrounding people. When danger occurring, sound the horn to give
alarming.

● Do not let the doors of the cob open.

● Do not let anyone apart from the operator to ride on the machine

● Obey the traffic rules. Don't cause the traffic jam. And raise driving
speed when passing the rood cross.

19
● When driving on the road, keep driving on one side of the road. And
leave way for other traffic vehicles and maintain a certain distance to
them.

Sudden braking may cause serious hurt!

When traveling in high speed, it is very dangerous to shift
the gear from forward to reverse.
Working with load
● When moving the blade, special care should be given not to damage the
ladder, tires and the pull levers.
● It is strictly prohibited to slew the blade when working with load.

● Before making turning and reverse for the machine, raise the ripper.
● When working with the blade not being used, raise the blade.
● It is prohibited to make sudden stop or sudden lowering for working
mechanisms, which, otherwise, will damage the working mechanism
and hydraulic system.
Excessive driving speed is forbidden
● Familiar with the functions of the machine, determine the traveling
speed according to the conditions of the worksite. Meanwhile, notice
the relevant people about the traveling routes and operation method in
advance.

20
● Always keep the machine under control.
● When traveling in the bumpy or sliding ground or the hillside, do not
travel in high speed, do not brake or steer suddenly
● When passing the bumpy places, or things sporadically lied on the
ground, shift down the gear in case overturning occurs.

● Keep the engine running placidly; do not make steering while in high
speed.
Keep a good view
● When front sight is not very good or coming into the narrow crossing,
shift down the gear and sound the horn or pause the machine if
necessary.

● The foggy and sandy weather will give an impact to operator’s

visibility. So when the visibility gets poor, try best to reduce driving
speed, and at the same time don't let un-related personne1 enter into
working area or have a guy guiding the machine driving
● Misconception of the distances and terrain may occur in the evening,
so keep a proper speed suitable to the surrounding illumination.
● Light the front lights, working lights and top lights when operating,

21
Obstacles:
● In the area with much obstacle staffs, when the machine needs steering
or driving forward make sure not to let the machine knock against the
obstacle staffs.
● Lower the speed when driving or steering in limited areas. Be sure
there is no obstacle around.

Traveling under severe conditions

● Do not work alone in the dangerous places. Investigate the road
conditions, bridge intensity and the topography of the worksite in
advance

● When traveling in the wet or soft ground, take care of the falling-down
of the wheel and the brake performance.
● The mud piled on the ground or the dirt near trenches is loose. So they
maybe collapse down under the machine weight or machine vibration,
which, being as the result, will cause the machine turn over.
● Avoid driving the machine to the place that near the hung staff or
deep trench. Otherwise there may be the possibility of machine

22
 turning-over or human injury caused by collapsing of area that due to
machine weight or machine vibration.
● When there is a hazard of falling rocks or overturning, start the
Protection devices (ROPS)
Traveling on slopes
● Always travel straight up or down a slope. Traveling at an angle across
the slope is extremely dangerous.

● Do not turn on slopes. Always go down to a flat place to change the

position of the machine, then travel onto the slope again. When
working on the hills, inclines or embanks, lower the speed and turn at
a small angle.
● Fix a proper gear before going down a slope; do not shift gears during
the travel.
● When driving the machine on the slope, the machine's gravity-center
will be focused on the front wheels or rear wheels, so special care
should be given during operation. Never engage emergency brake
during driving on the slope.
● When driving on the hill slope, dam or slope, have the blade get near
the slope surface, keep the clearance at 20-30cm (8-12 inch). In case
of emergency, quickly lower the blade onto the slope surface, so as to
help the machine stop or prevent the machine turning over.

● If applying brake when driving the machine down the slope. don't
operate the gear-shifting control- lever, neither place the gear box
being in neutral gear. If the actual driving speed is beyond its gear
limitation, step down the foot pedal to reduce the driving speed.
● If the engine stops when the machine is traveling on a slope, step the
brake pedal immediately and lower the blade to the ground then adopt
hand brake to fix the machine.

23
Traveling when in turnaround
To avoid injury or death, even if the machine is equipped with
reversing annunciator and rearview mirror, before moving the machine
and working device, the rules shown below should be followed.
● Sound a whistle to warn the persons at the building site.
● To check the circumambience of the machine and make sure nobody is
here Especially to check the rear area of the machine, because this
area cannot be observed clearly from the operating seat.

● When operation is carried out at the place with risk and poor visibility,
someone should be designated to guide the transportation.
● No persons are allowed to enter the driving area and turnaround area
apart from some certain persons that have been permitted.
● Do not turn around at the high speed.
Towing
Serious injury or death could result if a disables machine is towed
incorrectly or if there is a mistake in the selection or inspection of the
wire rope. So follow the following precautions:
● Always tow the machine according to the Operation Manual.
● Never use a wire rope that has cut strands, reduced diameter, or kinks
Wear leather gloves when handle with the wire ropes.
● When working with other people, determine the signals before towing.
● Never tow a machine on a slope. Select a place which slope is as slight
as possible.
● If the engine or the braking system of the machine with defects has
something wrong, please contact with the manufacturer for repairing.
● When towing the machine, use a wire rope that has enough strength

24
 for the weight of the machine that is being towed. During the towing
operation, never stand between the towing machine and the machine
being towed.
● Never bestraddle your feet and stand on the wire rope.

Ⅴ Safety operation
Keep the good customs to operate
● The driver should always sit on the seat, and make sure tighten the
safety belt and the safety device. The grader should always be in
operating condition.

● The driver should operate the handles correctly, and make sure not to
operate the handles by accident.

● Checking carefully is needed. If finding something is wrong, the

driver should check the grader at once. At this time don't repair the
working parts.
● When the motor grader working, its working load should not be
beyond its capacity limitation. It is very dangerous when working with
the machine that works out of its working capacity limitation. So
firstly, get familiar with the rood condition to avoid overload against
the machine. The manufacturer, Xuzhou xugong road construction
machinery co.,ltd will not bear any responsibility to the machine
damage or human injury to be caused due to making machine work
with overload.

25
● When the machine working with overload, it will lead the machine
being unstable, so drive the machine with very low speed and adjust
the cutting-in depth and angle according to working condition.
● When driving the machine, care should be taken not to knock the
blade against hard staff to avoid damage against the blade. And
nobody should stand below the front-frame; otherwise injury may be
caused against health during the machine working.
● The driver should observe the rear-surrounding environment carefully
before reversing the grader.

Pay attention to surrounding environment

● No person except the workers is permitted to enter the working area.
As the working equipment of the grader moves up and down, and the
grader itself also moves around, it is forbidden to enter the working
area of the working device (under, front, rear, inside and sides). In
case the machine can't work (for example during checking), jock the
working device by a safe method (safety supports or blocks).
Keep away from dangerous place
● If the air released from the exhauster is injected to the easy-burning
objects, or the exhauster is near to them, fire will be easily lighted. So
when you are near the easy-burning or dangerous materials such as
oils, cotton, paper, withered grass and chemicals, special attentions
must be paid.

26
Ⅵ Safety Parking
● The parking positions of machine should be a ground as flat as
possible And Lower working mechanism down to the ground.
● Do not park on the slope. If you have to park the grader on the slope,
the slope must less than 15%, and you should put the chock under the
wheels for preventing them from slipping, then lower the working
mechanism down to the ground.
● When the grader is in the trouble or has to park at the place where the
traffic is very busy, please set the rail, signal, flag or alarm light and
put the other necessary signal to remind the other drivers .You should
make sure the drivers must look at your signal clearly, and the rail,
flag, signal and alarm light you set will not jam the traffic.
● When stopping the machine, lower the blade completely onto the
ground stop the engine and pull out stopping-braking switch to place it
being in braking position. Lock machine with the key and take out the
key When getting off the machine, climb down the machine while
facing the machine. Care should be token for your own safety, and it is
not allowed to jump from the machine.
Precautions items for cold weather
● After working, the driver should clean the snow, ice, water or mud on
the wire, switch, sensor and other ports. If you do not clean these, it
will be froze and have bad effect for your operation next time.
● Before working you should warm-up the grader adequately. If you do
not do enough work to warm-up the loader, it will become slow and
maybe cause accidents.
● The driver could circle the hydraulic oil to heat it so that the grader
will get ready to work properly. (Get the system pressure up to rated
pressure value, then release the pressure. Afterwards, return hydraulic
oil back to oil tank.)
● If the electrolyte of strong battery is froze, do not recharge it and do
not start the grader with other storage battery. It is very dangerous and
causes the battery get fire.
● If you recharge the battery or use the other battery to start the grader,
you should make sure the electrolyte get melted, and check out if there
is any leakage from it.

27
VII Inspection and maintenance
Trouble notification
If the maintenance is not explained in this manual, unexpected trouble
may occur. Please contact with the designated dealers of Xuzhou xugong
road construction machinery co.,ltd for repair.
Warning label
● When the operator is maintaining refueling the machine, starting
engine or operating the joystick by other persons may cause severe
injury or death to the operator.
● Post the warning label on the joystick in the cab to show that you are

cause operation failure.
● When cleaning the filter elements with compressed air, wearing the
protection clothes and safe glosses is a must.

Explosion prevention
● When checking the fuel, lubricating oil and battery electrolyte, use the
illuminating device that is of explosion -proof, otherwise, there will be
the risk of explosion.
● If the machine working in the dork area and without illumination,
there will be danger of getting injured, so it is a must to install proper
illuminating lamps.
● Even if working in the dark area, it is now allowed to take lighter or
flame for illumination, as it will cause the risk of fire, for the gas sent
out from the battery will cause explosion when exposed to fire.
Working under the grader
● Stop the grader on the smooth road surface, and before working under
the grader, put down all the working devices on the ground.
● Fix-up the wheels with chock.
● It is very dangerous to work under the grader that is only supported by
working devices.

handrail, keep in touch with three points on the ground at any time
(two feet with one hand, or two hands with one foot).
● Should use the protect equipment under the essential situation.
● The top of the engine hood is smooth and dangerous; no people will
be allowed to stand on it.
● The top of tire is smooth and dangerous, don’t stand on it.

The maintenance work with the engine running

In order to avoid injure and accident, please don’t make maintenance
for machine with engine running. If maintenance has to be carried out
even when the engine is running, follow the following points:
● Arrange a worker sitting on driver seat and get ready to stop the
engine at any time, All workers must keep reach with him
● Don’t touch exhaust pipe or high temperature parts, such as end tube,
muffler, etc. to avoid scalding.
● You should pay extraordinarily attention when the working place is
near the rotate parts, you are in danger that maybe engulfed by the
rotate part.
● Never touch any control handle. If it is necessarily to operate a control
handle, firstly make a alarming to other people and ask them to safe
place.
● Never have you body or any working tools touch with the leaf of the
fan or the fan belt. Otherwise, serious damage may be caused.
● Don’t adjust the part that you do not know how to make.

Don’t drop the foreign articles in the machine

● When opening the overhaul window or oil-filling plugs for the

31
 purpose of overhauling, be careful not to drop foreign articles inside
machine. If some foreign article has fell into the machine body，it may
cause machine damage, operation fault and other troubles. If there are
some foreign matters falling into the machine, you must take them out.
● When making overhaul, don't bring any unnecessary tools or parts in
your upper pocket.
Heavy objects
● While using the hammer, wear the protective glasses, security helmet
and the protective clothes. And a stick of copper cushion is needed
between the hammer and the parts to be hammered.
● If using a hammer to hit hard part such as; pins or bearing, there will
be the risk that crashes may enter into eyes; so special care should be
given.
● Use tools and heavy objects carefully and avoid them falling down.
Repair by welding
To take welding it must be quality workers at places with proper
equipment. Gas、 fire or electric shock can be produced when welding So
it is absolutely not allowed for unqualified persons to carry out the
operation. The following points of attention must be obeyed while
welding:
● The end of battery should disconnect in order to prevent the battery
from exploding.
● Disconnect the clip connect of the computer control panel of the
transmission (which is placed in the control box right side of the
(driver's seat in the cab) to prevent burning the panel when welding,
After finishing repairing, insert back the clip connect of control panel
properly according to the requirement, otherwise you can’t start or run
the machine.
● Clear paints on welding place in order to prevent the production of the
pernicious gas.
● Burnable vapor and spark may be produced when welding on
hydraulic equipment or pipelines or other place where are very close
to, which may cause fire, so welding in those above places should be
avoided.
● If sparks caused by welding drop on rubber hose, electric wire or
pressure pipeline directly, these tubes may burst suddenly, the
insulation cover of the electric wire will be damaged, so cover with
fire-proof block.
● When welding near the tire, special attention should be paid because it
may explode.

32
● When welding, protect clothes should be dressed.

● The ventilation of the welding place should be guaranteed*well.

● Clear up all inflammable material, and fire extinguisher should be
supplied at the site.
● Any innovation that may influence the performance, safety and
strength of the vehicle and working device at the site is prohibited.
Precautions items when the machine is hot
● When just finishing work, the hydraulic oil temperature, and the oil
and water temperature in engine and radiator are very high and still
hove pressure. At this moment, any attempt to open oil tank, radiator
drain oil or water, or change the filter may be severely burnt. Wait
until the temperature is falling down and observe the required program
when doing the above operation.
● To prevent splashing hot oil, turn off the engine, cool the hot water,
and open slowly to release the pressure. When checking the
temperature, put your hand close to the front of water radiator, check
the air temperature. But pay attention not to touch the radiator.
● For preventing hot oils from splashing out, stop the engine and let oil
get cool. And slowly open the cover of hot oil tank cover to, release its
pressure. When checking if the oil temperature has been cold or not
get your hand near the front of radiator for hydraulic oil and torque
converter oil. And check air temperature. Pay attention not to touch
the radiator.
● Don't touch the engine or it’s muffle、tail pipe and electric component
so as not to be get scalded.
● Don't remove the engine oil temperature sensor, water temperature
sensor; torque converter sensor and air-conditioner tubes so as not to
be get scalded.

● Cool system contain alkaline material, avoid touching your own skin

33
 and eyes.
● When replacing coolant liquid, engine oil, gearbox oil and oil filters
etc. pleas use the proper container to hold these oil liquid. The
treatment for rejected liquid should be accord with the local rules and
regulations in terms of environmental protection.
● When you need to remove the air-conditioner tubes, remember not to
expose the tubes to fire and flame. Otherwise it will cause injure due
to poisonous gas.
Inspection and Service for Hydraulic System
● Before making checking and repairing service for hydraulic system,
be sure to lower the blade down onto the ground and get the hydraulic
oil cool down. And release out all the system pressure from hydraulic
system.
● Don't bend or hit the high-pressure pipelines. And never mount the
tubes and hoses with abnormal bending or already being broken on the
machine.
● If finding any tubes or hoses for fuel circuit, lubricating oil circuit and
hydraulic system circuit get loose or broken, get them fixed. And
leakage may also cause fire, so when finding leakage, please repair it
or make replacement.
● Please check carefully all the tubes and hoses, and tighten all the
connection fittings with torque as required. When making inspection
for any oil leakage, use a clean piece of plate or paper board to make
such inspection rather than by means of hand, since the liquid pressure
from leaking point will cause sever health injury, even if the leaking
point is very small, like a needle eye, the leakage pressure can strike
through your skin. If it happens that oil liquid splash on your skin, try
to reach the competent surgeon to treat the case within several hours.
And replacement should be made if following cases are found:
☆ Connection fittings being broken or appearing leakage.
☆ The external coating of hoses are worn out or cracked down and
their reinforcing wires are exposed.
☆ Hose gets bulged at some particular locations.
☆ Hoses get obviously twisted or deformed due to pressing.
☆ The hose reinforcing wires get extending out.
☆ Wrong end connection.
● Make sure that all pipelines clamping, protection and insulation plates
are correctly mounted, so as to prevent shock and conflicting with
other parts.
● When replacing coolant liquid, engine oil, gearbox oil and oil filters,
etc. use the proper container to hold these oil liquid. The treatment for
rejected liquid should be accord with the local rules and regulations in
terms of environmental protection.

34
Fire Prevention
● When refilling fuel, it is a must to stop the engine. And during refilling
fuel it is prohibited to smoke or expose to fire or flame.
● The storage for fuel, grease and other combustible staffs should be
kept away from fire.
● Clean away all the combustible staffs, such as: fuel, lubricating oil and
other foreign articles built-up on the machine. And make sure there is
no any oily cloth or other combustible material existing.
● There will be some explosive gas producing near the battery, so never
get it near to fire or flame. Strictly follow the relative instruction to
make maintenance for and use the battery.
● When parking the machine, care should be taken to select the suitable
parking location and its surrounding environment. And special
attention should be paid to ensure that there is no withered grass, used
paper and other combustible material near the muffler of the machine.

● Check if there is any leakage of fuel, engine oil and hydraulic oil. If it
is in case replace the broken hoses. And only after you clean and fix
the problems can you make another attempt to drive the machine
again.
● Check if the electrical wires get broken or failure. If finding any
damage, replace with a new one.
● When cleaning the components, use the non-combustible cleaning
solvent. Don't use the petroleum oil or other combustible liquid for
cleaning.
● Don't make any welding or fire-cutting on the pipelines or tanks which
contain combustible liquid. Before you make any welding or cutting,
clean the pipeline first with non-combustible cleaning solvent, then
make welding and cutting.
● Prior to making any service and repairing, check if the fire
extinguisher is proper or not. Must clearly know the storage location
of the fire extinguisher and first-aid package.
● When you need to check the dark area on the machine, it is not
allowed to use flame or fire (match or lighter, etc.)
● When dismounting the tubes of air-conditioner compressor, it is
strictly prohibited to get near the flame; otherwise, the poisonous gas
to be produced will cause poisoning.

35
Instructions to be followed when refilling fuel and
lubricating oil
Fuel, lubricating oil, hydraulic oil, anti-freezing addition and braking oil
could be lighted with fire or flame, so following points must be obeyed:
● Stop the engine when refilling fuel or lubricating oil.
● Smoking is definitely prohibited.
● Clean away the leaked fuel, lubricating oil, hydraulic oil, and
antifreeze addition and braking oil.
● All tanks covers for fuel, lubricating oil, hydraulic oil, anti-freezing
addition and braking oil must be securely fastened.
● Refill the fuel, lubricating oil, hydraulic oil, anti-freezing addition and
braking oil in the place with good ventilation.
Maintenance for battery
The battery electrolyte contains vitriol and can produces hydrogen,
so incorrect handling for the battery will cause serious injury and fire
risk, therefore, the following points must be obeyed:
● Never get the lighted cigarette or flame close to the battery.

● When you have to touch the battery during working, you ought to
wear safety glass and rubber gloves.
● If the electrolyte is splashed onto your clothes or skin, rinse with
plenty of fresh water immediately.
● If the battery electrolyte is splashed into eyes, it will cause blindness.
So if in case, rinse the eyes with plenty of fresh water and see doctor
right away.
● If you drink the electrolyte out of carelessness, then you must drink a
lot of water, milk, fresh egg or vegetable oil, and get help from doctors
or first-aid center immediately.
● Before you do any job relating the battery, remember to stop the
engine.
● Avoid the touching of metal staffs (e.g.: tools), which could cause
short circuit to positive pole (+) and negative pole (-) of the battery.
● When installing the battery, fix the positive pole (+) first; when
dismounting the batter, disconnect the negative pole (-) first.
● When disassembling or installing the battery, firstly check which pole
is positive pole and which is negative pole, then tighten it with screws.

36
 If the electrolyte level reaches near " lower", then refill stilled water
till it reaches " upper" level.
● When cleaning the top surface of the battery, use a piece of cloth to
cover it. Never use petroleum oil and other organic solvent and
cleaning solvent,
● Tighten the top cover of the battery.
● If the electrolyte has been frozen, don't recharge the battery and start
the engine with other power source either; otherwise it is very
dangerous and will cause battery to get fire. When charging the battery
or starting the engine with other power source, melt the battery
electrolyte first before you attempt to start the engine, and you also
need to check if there is any leakage.
● Remove the battery from the machine before recharging the battery.
● When repairing the electric system or doing welding on the machine,
it is needed to remove the negative pole (-) of the battery to prevent
the current flowing.

Recharging for battery

When recharging the battery, if handle the battery incorrectly, then
there is the risk of battery explosion. So the procedure for disposing and
recharging the battery should be in line with required process and
instruction, and also obey the following points.
● Recharging for the battery should be done in a place with good
ventilation. Take out its top cover, by doing so hydrogen scattering
and explosion can be prevented.
● Set the recharging voltage according to the voltage requirement for the
battery to be recharged. If the recharging voltage is wrongly set, then
it will cause the charger getting too hot or fire and also possibly
explosion.
● Connect the positive (+) clamping-terminal of the charger with
positive pole (+), and negative terminal (-) with negative pole (-). And
fasten their connection.
● If the recharging ratio is less than 1/10, then you hove to make rapid
charging and set it within the battery's rated capacity. If the recharging
current is too much, then it may cause electrolyte leakage or
evaporation, which will possibly cause fire or explosion

37
Starting the machine by means of voltage-increasing cable
If there is any wrong with the connection for the voltage-increasing
cable, risk of fire will be caused. So for this operation, please follow the
following steps:
● Two people will be available for this operation. (One of them will keep
sitting on the operator seat).
● When starting one machine, don't have it touching with another
machine.
● When connecting the voltage-increasing cable, shut off the Starting-up
switches of both the machines with and without the problems.
● When installing the voltage-increasing cable, you must remember that
the positive (+) cable should be connected first. When dismounting the
voltage-increasing cable, grounding or negative (-) coble should be
removed first.
● The final grounding cable should be connected to the engine of the
machine which is with problems, but this will cause sparks, so when
making connection, please get away from the battery as far as
possible.
● When dismounting the voltage-increasing coble, care should be taken
to prevent the clampers of cables touching with each other or touching
with the machine.
Maintenance for tyres-wheel
● If the tyres explode, the explosion itself will throw the wheel hub,
tyres, driving axle and other components 500m or more far away from
the machine. And explosion and its partials will cause server damage
and healthy injury, so the tyres pressure must be maintained at normal
pressure range. Never inflate the tyres beyond its rated pressure range.
● During traveling, the heat produced due to high-speed machine
traveling will cause the tyres pressure arising to some extent, this is
the normal case, please don't attempt to reduce the tyres pressure.
What you should do is to reduce the machine traveling speed or just
stop the machine to have the tyres cooling down. However, if the
machine keeps moving at very high speed continuously, which will
cause the tyres being overheated, then tyres explosion will be led, so
attention should be given.
● When adjusting tyres pressure, keep away from the tyres as far as
possible. And you should always stand at the back of the tyres.
● It is prohibited to inflate the tyres with combustible gas.
● Check daily the tyres and wheel hub. It is not allowed to do any
operation with very low tyres pressure. And also check if there is any
cracks or deformation on the tyres.
● Check the mounting screws and bolts on the wheels to see if there is

38
 any loss and if they are securely fasten with torque as required by the
manufacturer.
● During checking the wheels, don't make any access to the turning
wheels, both in the front and in the back. Such checking should be
done from the wheel sides. When you need to remove one of the
wheels, then other wheels need to be blocked with wedges under
them.
● When making welding near the wheels, since the tyres wheel may
cause explosion, so special care should be given.

● If wheel tire is to fall down, get away from it, since the tires for the
use on construction machinery are quite heavy, and any attempt to
hold it by hand will lead serious injury.
Electrical system
● Just professional and competent people can do the Job relating with
the electrical system of the machine.
● Before making any maintenance for the electrical system, make sure
to adjust the starter key switch.
Hoods
● Don't make any maintenance for non-mental hoods. The dust arose
during polishing the non-mental hoods may cause explosion. And in
addition, breathing in such dust will be also harmful to your health.
Rejected material
● In order to avoid pollution, especially in the area with people or
animals living, the following points must be obeyed;
● Never discharge the rejected oil into water saw or river.
● Hold the rejected oil with proper container. Don't exhaust the oil
liquid directly onto ground.
● When handling the some harmful substances, such as: lubricating oil,
fuel, coolant liquid, solvent, oil filter, battery and other material,
relative local rules and codes should be obeyed.
Content of key components and its replacement period
To guarantee the safety of grader in use, users must keep
maintaining termly. In addition, in order to improve safety further, users

39
should replace the components listed in the table because these
components ore most important in fireproof and safety.
● The components material will get corroded with the time going, or
will get worn out quickly, and what is more worse is it is quite
difficult to judge these component status only by the periodical
maintenance, so no matter how these components status would be,
they should be replaced regularly, to make sure their normal working
performance.
● If the replacing time has not come, but some abnormal thing is found,
replace or repair them immediately.
● When replacing the tube, "0" ring, seal washer and other such
components should be replaced at the same time.

Ⅱ。Vehicle running- in
The machine has already been checked and adjusted completely
before sale, However, if it works under the atrocious environment at the
beginning, the using lift of the machine may be shortened obviously.
Many components of the machine (such as: engine, axle, gearbox, pump,
motor and valve, etc) need a certain running-in period. Only after the
running-in period, could the machine service lift and its maximum
productivity efficiency be achieved. So it is necessary to carry out run-in
to the machine at the first 50 operating hours and pay attention to
maintenance service. Please follow the regulations stated below during
the run-in period:
● After starting, idle the machine for 5 minutes
● It is forbidden to accelerate the suddenly during pre-warning.
● Apart from emergency case, sudden startup acceleration turnaround
and sudden brake should be avoided.

52
● During run-in period, forward gears are I, II, Ⅲ,Ⅳ,Ⅴand Ⅵ; rear gears

areⅠ,Ⅱand Ⅲ.Every gear should be scheduled in run-in equally.

● During run-in period, it is better not to let the machine with full load
capacity. And the driving speed don’t exceeds rated maximal speed by
seventy percent .
● Pay attention to the lubrication state of the machine, replace or add
lubricant according to the prescribed time.
● Often pay attention to the temperature of gearbox, torque converter,
front and rear axle, wheel hub and brake drum. If overheating front
and rear axle, wheel hub and brake drum. If overheating problem
occurs, be sure to find the reason and resolve the problem.
● Check the tightness of every bolt and nut.
● After 10 hours run-in of a new machine, the following should be
carried out:

53
☆ Check the tightness of every bolt and nut overall Especially for
cylinder head bolt of diesel engine, fix bolt of engine, gearbox and
front & rear axle, hub nut, connecting bolt of the transmission shaft
etc. All the above bolts should be checked once.
☆ Clean the rough and fine engine oil filter and fuel filter.
☆ Check the tightness of fan belt, generator belt and air-conditioner
compress belt.
☆ Check the gravity and reserves of the storage battery electrolyte
tighten the joints of storage battery.
☆ Check the oil level of the speeder.
☆ Check the airproof state of the hydraulic system and brake system.
☆ Check the connection and tightening state of every control stick and
accelerator pusher.
☆ Check the temperature and connection state of every component in
the electric system, power supply state of dynamotor, state of lighting
and turning signal light.
Ⅲ. Utility
Starting up
1. Overall inspection before starting up
● Whether fuel, oil and coolant for the engine is sufficient.
● Refill the hydraulic oil to the upper limit of the stick.
● Observe blade rotation and the oil level inside turbo box.
● Whether the connection for each part is loose.
● The pressure in the tire meets the standard or not.
● Light and horn system.
● Whether the speed controlling rod is agile and in the neutral position.
● Whether the air-conditioner (option) is off.
● Check the service brake and stopping brake to see if they can work
properly.
● Check the seat belt and all other safety device to see if they can work
properly.
Only after the above mentioned 6 elements are in proper order can
the engine be started.
2. Starting the engine
● Place speed-gear stick in neutral position.
● Switch on the main power supply.
● Turn the starting key to switch on the power for gauges/ and step on
the accelerator.
● Press starting switch to switch on starting motor, then the engine is
started.

54
● Once the engine is started, release the key and starting switch.
● After startup, warm the machine for about 5-10 minutes at the idle
speed. And at the same time pay close attention to the indication of
meters. If there is no abnormal situation and the brake indicating lamp
goes off, then you can release the parking brake and drive the
machine.
Attention:
● Every starting can last 10-15 seconds at most. The quench time of
each starting should be at least 1 minute. The speed-controlling rod
should be placed in the neutral position. If your machine can’t start for
three successive times, check the machine according to the
explanation in the operation manual. Start the engine again after
resolving the trouble problem.
● Before starting up, place all control sticks in neutral position, speed-
gear in idle gear and switches in reset position.
● At the time of starting up, it is not allowed to accelerate throttle to its
max. position to avoid damage against engine within sudden time.
● For other instruction concerning engine operation, please refer to
specific documentation of diesel engine.
3. After the engine being started up
● When the engine is started, make the engine run in 600-850r/min for 5
minutes to raise its temperature. When the hydraulic system pressure
goes up to more than 10Mpa and the brake indicating lamp goes off,
then you can release the parking brake and drive the machine.
● It is not allowed to keep the engine continuously running at idle-gear
with high speed or low speed for more than 20 minutes. If it is
necessary to keep the engine running at idle-gear, then it is needed to
have the engine be loaded every now and then or let the engine run
at medium-range speed.
Afterwards, the following checking should also be implemented
before driving the machine forward:
● Listen if there is any abnormal sound from transmission mechanism of
engine.
● Check if all working mechanism could work properly.
● Check if the brake is safe and reliable.
● Check if the steering operation is flexible and reliable.
● Check if the circuit is in normal condition.
● Check if the lights and gauges are functioning, whether the indicating
is normal.
Traveling

55
1. Move
● Lift blade and slew it back.
● Release stop parking brake.
● Place Shift control stick to position I or II, then slowly Step down the
throttle Pedal to accelerate.
Attention:
● When driving the machine on the slope ground or on the ground with
tough condition, it is prohibited to drive machine with high speed.
● Select proper traveling gear before driving down from slope. Never
make gear shifting during driving down from slope.
● It is also prohibited to drive machine with override speed when
coming down from slope. You can reduce speed by means of braking
pedal.
2.Interchange between Gear Shifting and Forward/Reverse
● To shift the speed gear, you should operate in sequence.
● Gear shifting range: I, II gear: working, climbing slope, uneven road
surface. III. IV. V. VI gear: smooth road surface, high speed traveling.
● When shifting speed gear, it is now allowed to accelerate to avoid the
sudden shock to transmission system.
● In order to improve operation comfort-ability for operator and also
prolong the service life to maximum of every working component, it
is a Must to reduce traveling speed or apply braking when it needs to
make gear shifting.
● It is not necessary to stop the machine for applying gear-shifting
during machine traveling. And it is also not necessary to step on
braking pedal. When making gear-shifting from low speed to high
speed, firstly release the acceleration throttle for a while, and at same
time operate the control stick of gear-shifting, then step on the
accelerate pedal again. If it is from high speed to low speed, firstly
release the throttle to slowly reduce traveling speed, then apply gear-
shifting.
3.Steering
● During driving, turn the steering wheel to the direction as desired, and
then the machine will make steering.
● This type of machine takes its articulation pin as its center, so during
steering, the front frame and rear frame are not in alignment.
● It will be very dangerous if making steering at very high traveling
speed, so it is not allowed to do so.
● Making steering when traveling on slope will cause tilting over to the
machine, so it is now allowed to do so.
4. Braking

56
● Don't put your feet on the braking pedal, if it is not very necessary.
● Don't step on the braking pedal repeatedly, if it is not necessary.
● When driving the machine down slop, take the engine as braking
device. Never make gear-shifting or apply idle gear of gearbox.
Working
1. Blade adjustment
As showed in the figure on control joystick for blade adjustment. The
blade position can be adjusted by controlling each joystick, so that the
blade can be adjusted at different position to apply different working
situation.
Attention: Slewing the blade with load is forbidden.
2.Slewing- frame rotating

57
Fig. 8 Slewing-frame rotating position

58
 Normally, the slewing-frame is locked at horizontal position. When
needing to tilt the blade, take the following steps to fix the blade at
position 1 or 2 and 4 or 6. (See fig.8)
① For placing at position 1 or 2, take the slewing frame cylinder fully
in.
② For placing o+ position 4 or 6, take in fully the slewing frame
cylinder.
③ After finishing the above step, engage the blade cylinder to lower
down the blade onto ground (hydraulic system has no load
pressure).
④ Take away the locking pin of slewing frame.

⑤ When rotating slewing-frame, operate the control joysticks of the

blade raising cylinder and blade slewing cylinder.
⑥ Lock the slewing frame with the locking pin.
3. Front wheel inclining
Operate the rod to make the front wheel inclining to either right or
left side. Incline the front wheel to get:
① Smaller turning radius. During leveling operation, it can
strengthen the capability of anti-slippery of the tire.
② Even if it is working on the slope, the wheel will have better
adhesive power.
2.Rear scarifier (option)
It is an option available at request. There are 5 teeth for the rear
scarifier. Normally it works with 3 teeth if operating on hard surface,
while the teeth to be used should be in symmetric arrangement
There are 2 positions for the scarifier: working position and traveling
position. Take out the safety spring, and pull out the rod. Draw back the
scarifying teeth and lift the scarifier completely, so as to make the
scarifier in traveling position. Take out the safety spring, and pull out the
rod. Draw out teeth to make the scarifier in working position. Operate the
scarifier control rod to lay down the teeth on the ground, and drive the
grader forward; and lower the scarifier at the same time, so as to make it
digging into the earth.

59
 Note: Lift the scarifier up during grader's turning or reverse driving
operation. And it is not allowed to make turning or reverse driving if the
scarifier is not lifted up.
5. Front dozer blade (option)
It is an option available at request. Operate the front blade control ever
to control the up-down motion of the blade.
Note: Lift the blade when it is not in operation.
6. Leveling operation
Leveling operation is applied in the project of road building, road
repair and maintenance, site leveling, ditch backfill or road-building
material spreading etc.
During operation, it is required to adjust the blade angle properly
according to the project requirement and soil texture. Traveling forward
in I gear, lower the blade to cut into earth. Adjust the blade cutting depth,
blade plane angle and traveling direction all the time according to load
and geography condition; so as to make the earth scrapped moving
laterally along the blade surface to unload the earth to either side of the
grader or between the two wheels. Pay attention not to make the earth
ridge in the track of the rear wheel, otherwise it will affect the traction
force of the grader, and thus cause an even surface for the scrapped area.
When performing ditch backfill, it is required to have the blade
inclined to the ditch, to unload the earth into the ditch, and ensure a safety
traveling during the operation. When performing reverse Operation, it is
suggested to have the blade revolving angle of 180°C so as to
Improve the operation efficiency. When operating leveling or gravel (or
other material) spreading at the last stage of shoveling operation, the
blade should be adjusted to the position at 90°C to its vertical axis, while
grader should travel at I gear, and the blade height being adjusted to cut a
little amount of earth, so as to make most of the shoveled earth to be
pushed forward, with very little amount flowing to either side. For the
earth flowing to the two sides, lower the blade to the ground, and even the
soil in a high traveling speed. Operating on a curved line, the operator
shall properly control the direction or make use of full wheel steering to
perform the operation flexibly.
7. Digging ditches
Digging ditches operation is used for digging ditches along the
roadside or drain in the site. During digging operation, normally the blade
is put in inclination; one end of the blade is placed on the ground for
operation, the digging operation includes 3 stages: demarcating, deepen
and trimming. Before operation, clear out obstacles, and carry out a
primary leveling. Scarify the soil if necessary, and mark the centerline of
the ditch.
● Demarcating operation
Demarcating operation is a very important performance for the over

60
all operating quality, especially for the straightness of the ditch direction.
During operation, make the blade-shoveling end on same line with front
wheel contour, and make the front wheel inclining properly towards the
inner side of the ditch, and the blade front edge in 15-30 cm away from
the ditch contour. When the grader is traveling at I gear, lower the blade
front edge down to cut earth, with a cutting depth normally less than
10cm. Lift the blade rear edge to 40cm away, from the ground, so as to
make the cut earth in the middle of the blade to be unloaded between the
two wheels. During the operation, pay attention to control the grader's
traveling direction, make it travel along the marked line, so as to ensure a
correct position of the ditch.
● Deepening operation
After demarking operation, deepening operation is followed by earth
shoveling and earth moving. For each shoveling operation, move a proper
distance towards inner direction, so as to leave a step with certain width.
The width for the step lift should not be less than the cutting depth every
time, so as to make the operation for every cut meet the designed lateral
slope line. During operation, the grader traveling at I gear, lower blade
front edge and lift up the rear edge. The correct position for the blade
shall make the rigid of every cutting operation in the inner side of the rear
wheel, thus to ensure a stable traveling of the grader. Adjust the cutting
depth all the time according to the change of shoveling resistance, but not
to make too big adjustment to avoid forming "wave" to affect the
operation next time. Try to keep the cutting depth and width of every
operation the more similar the better, and the last shoveling operation
should meet the overall depth and width of the ditch. Normally, for each
cutting operation, it is required to perform earth-moving operation
according to soil texture and the size of rigid. Pull the blade 10-20cm out
of the rigid, and make the rigid caused by earth-moving operation at the
outer side of the rear wheel. What is more, keep the front wheel in proper
inclining towards the inner side of the ditch during every shoveling and
earth-moving operation, so as to maintain the grader's stability and an
easy traveling control.
● Trimming operation
Trimming operation is mainly applied for outer lateral slope trimming
after the ditch being dug to its total depth. During the operation,
according to the topography, you can put the grader on both sides of the
ditch, and shovel the earth to the outer edge of the ditch, or use the blade
rear edge to shovel earth in the ditch, and then clear the earth out. If it is
limited by the topography, you can pull the blade from one side, and
make it inclining to one side of the grader. Then you can drive the grader
along the ditch, cut the earth in the ditch and later move out the earth.

61
● Slope scrapping operation
Slope scrapping operation is mainly applied for scrapping lateral
slope of 25°C-70°C, 3-4m height. Before operation, adjust the blade to
one side of the machine by blade laterally pulling and inclining, and then
put the blade upper edge forward, traveling forward at I gear, and lower
the blade for shoveling earth. While operating, adjust slope-scrapping
height by rotating revolving ring or moving blade, to lift up or lower the
blade so as to adjust scrapping slope. In order to improve the stability of
the grader’s operation, incline the front wheel towards the direction of the
lateral slope.
In order to improve operating efficiency, it is better to have two graders
working together, using the one without blade laterally being pulled out
to level the road base surface, the other to scrap the earth on lateral slope.
8. Suggestions on operating the grader:
The grader is competent at the following job: clearing foundation. fine
fishing operation, slope scrapping, reshaping, mixed paving, material
collecting and ramming, scrapping snow ice etc.
(i) The articulated steering greatly reduces the turning radius of the
grader. This has made the machine to be able to have even more flexible
operation, the machine can operate in "crab walking" which makes the
blade to be able to extend from the outside of the rear wheel, so as to
avoid the rear wheel from traveling on the leveled ground. The articulated
steering also improves the machine's ability of helping itself in difficult
circumstance.
(ii) One of the most important factors for the grader's optimum
efficiency is to select a proper blade rotary angle and blade angle. It is
suggested to adopt with a bigger rotary angle, since the bigger the blade
rotary angle is. the higher, the shoveling pressure on the working length
(per centimeter) will be. During shoveling operation, a small blade angle
can reduce cutting resistance, while a big blade angle can improve
leveling precision and mixing efficiency.
(iii) Front wheel should incline towards material flowing direction.
When operating on an inclining slope, if the front wheels are on plumb
position, a better adhesion can be achieved with the front wheel's
inclining.
(iv) Without changing blade operation height, it will extend the blade
by operating blade lead-out device.
(v) The machine is not suitable to work underground or poor ventilated
environment, since it has a direct-injection engine. The waste gas from
the engine cannot be specially screened completely in the a.m.
condition.

case, clean it timely to prevent the risk of fire.
● Clean away all combustible materials around the machine to avoid the
risk of fire.
● Lock the door and windows, and pull out the key.
4. Instructions to be followed after finishing work everyday
● Check the fuel level.
● Check the engine oil level and its clearness. If it is found that the
engine oil level is too high or gets thin, find out the cause and remedy
it.
● Check if there is any leakage on oil pipelines, water pipelines, air
pipelines and every component.
● Check the state of fastening and sealing for gearbox, torque converter,

operation cab. In case of fire risk, take the following steps:
● Stop the engine.
● Shut off the main power switch.
● Use extinguisher to put out a fire.
● Avoid fire extending.
● Ask for help.
Use extinguisher to put out a fire:
● Take down fire extinguisher from bracket.
● Remove the safety pin.
● Hold extinguisher tightly with its muzzle facing a fire.
● Put down the shaft of extinguisher in order to put out of a fire. Once
the fire being put out, please stop using extinguisher.
● Recharge and maintain the extinguisher after every time using. Only
qualified personnel can maintain it.
● It is definitely prohibited to maintain during using extinguisher.
Operation in Cold Weather
Instruction to be followed in low temperature
If the temperature is too low, it is difficult to start the engine and
radiator may also be frozen. So observe the following guidelines:
● All components should use fuel, hydraulic oil and lubricant with low
viscosity. Add anti-freeze addition into the cooling water. Please refer
to oil list for detailed oil trademark.
● Precautions when using anti-freeze addition:

64
 Note: Keep antifreeze away from fire, and no smoking when
using anti-freeze.
● Do not use the anti-freeze addition with methanol, ethanol and proper
alcohol.
● Do not use any anti-leakage addition, regardless it is used along or
together with anti-freeze.
● Do not use mixed anti-freeze addition with different trademarks.
● When replacing the anti-freeze addition, please refer to explanations
about the proportion on the anti-freeze addition usage. Look the sign
at the back of the machine.
● When the temperature around drops, the capacity of battery may also
drop. If the charging ratio of battery is low, the electrolyte may be
frozen. So try keeping the charging ratio at 100% and preserving its
heat, then the engine may be easy to start in the next day only in this
way.
● If the battery gets frozen, do not recharge it or start up the engine.
What should be done is to warm it up to 15°C . Otherwise, there will
be a risk of explosion.
● In the high-cold area, be sure to use cold-proof battery.
Instruction After Finishing Daily Work
To prevent the frozen mud, water or snow from affecting the engine
starting in the next day. Be sure to take up the following steps:
● Clean up the mud, water and snow on the machine completely to
prevent the frozen mud, water or snow in the sealed area from
despairing the airproof performance.
● Park the machine on the dry and solid ground. If it is impossible, park
the machine on the wood board. Using wood board may prevent the
machine from freezing on the ground and may make it easy to start the
machine in the next day.
● Open the discharging valves, discharge water in the water tank,
engine, evaporator of air-conditioner and relative pipelines to prevent
it from freezing.
● In the low temperature, with the dramatic decreasing of battery
capacity, be sure to cover the battery or move it to the warm area, and
assemble it again for the next day operation.
After Cold Weather
When season changes or it gets warm, be sure to take up the
following work:
All components now should use fuel, hydraulic oil and lubricant
with half viscosity. If you did not use permanent anti-freezing addition,
be sure to discharge all water in the radiating system, to wash the
radiating system and to replace new cooling water.

65
Working in closed jobsite
● If you have to work in an indoor area or in an area with poor
ventilation facility for driving the machine, handling fuel, cleaning
parts or paints, it is necessary to open the window and the door, so as
to ensure sufficient ventilation and avoid gas poison. If there is still
not sufficient ventilation with the door and windows being open, then
a ventilating fan should be provided.
● It is necessary to equip the extinguisher and bear in mind its location
and using way before working in closed jobsite.

V. Operation And Maintenance for gearbox

Preparation Work and Maintenance before Driving
On the one hand, the oil in gearbox may be used as working medium
hydraulic system in torque converter and gearbox; on the other hand, it
also my be used as cooling and lubrication to the components in torque
converter and gearbox. The quantity and trademark of oil used in the
gearbox should be added according to regulations.
Before gearbox runs, add adequate lubricant with proper trademark. If it
is the first time to oil the gearbox, be sure to take the oil consumption in
radiator, filter and pipelines into consideration. After oiling the machine
for the first time, the lubricant shall seep into every corner of the system.
So, the first oil quantity should be larger than next oiling quantity during
maintenance.
After the torque converter and oil-radiator are fitted on the
machine, the oil can flow back to the bottom of gearbox through pipeline.
So when the machine stops work and the engine is still running at a low
speed, in order to keep the gearbox in balanced temperature required for
regular work, be sure to control the oil level in the gearbox.
When checking the oil level, be careful about safety. For
example: Must place the machine on the flat ground, put gear-
shifting handle on neutral and lock it, put hand-brake switch on
"Off" position to prevent machine from moving.
During checking the oil level, when the oil temperature is 80°C, the oil
level in the gearbox must reach the highest line on the dipstick scale ;
when the oil temperature is up to 40°C the oil level in the gearbox must
reach the lowest line on the dipstick scale. During this process, try
inserting the dipstick into the oil pipe until it cannot insert further
anymore.
When cleaning the oil filter in the main oil pipeline, do not let the

66
contaminated remains and grease、 enter the pipeline. Besides, be sure to
place a cover to prevent the oil from entering the parking brake.
When fitting the oil filter, do not apply too much strength.
Check oil position before traveling, it should be guaranteed to check
once daily.
Travel And Gear-Shifting
Before starting the engine, be sure to put the gear-shifting handle on
neutral position.
In view of safety, be sure the parking brake is in braking status, so the
machine couldn’t be start when start engine.
After starting the engine, press emergency and parking brake switch,
choose driving direction and corresponding gear, step on the accelerator
pedal, then you can drive the machine.
When the machine is running at a nicer road, you can also
drive it at high speed.
If the machine has been stopped while the engine is still running, and
the gearbox is still in gear. At this time the machine may crawl on a flat
road, because the engine that is idling may generate little power through
torque converter. So, be sure to put emergency and parking brake switch
on "Off" position when parking the machine.
If you intend to part the machine for a long time, you should put
control handle to neutral position.
Before the machine sets out, be sure to cancel the parking brake,
namely press emergency and parking brake switch.
It must be point out that: when the high-speed gear is changed into
low-speed gear, the engine rotation speed may quicken due to torque low
speed gear, the engine rotation speed may quicken due to torque
converter, especially jumping over a gear. So, if it is possible, be sure to
use foot brake to slow it down and shift gears when you intend to change
high-speed gear into low-speed gear.
If you intend to change driving direction when the machine is running
at a high speed, be sure to slow down the engine rotation speed.
Oil Temperature
The oil temperature inside the gearbox should be checked by means of
temperature sensor.
The temperature for oil output from torque converter should not be
over 120 °C. In normal, the temperature at the torque converter outlet is
80-110°C, but when the torque converter being heavily loaded, it is
allowed that the temperature may increase rapidly up to 120°C for a short
time. If the temperature is beyond this limit, you must stop the machine
and check if there is any leakage on all pipelines. And at the same time,
change the gearbox gear to idle gear and make the engine run in the
rotation speed of 1200-1500rpm. Then afterwards, the oil temperature

67
will decrease quickly to normal value (about within 2-3 minutes). If the
oil temperature does not decrease, then it means that there must be some
problems somewhere. So you must find out the problem and fix it before
attempting to drive the machine again.
Oil pressure
When checking, the normal range of oil pressure for shifting gears is
l.3-1.8MPa.

 Precautions:
● Oil is required to be clean. The diesel oil must pass through 72-hour
deposition.
● Oil injector and oil positions must be clean and prevent water
contaminated entering into oil.
● When checking oil quantity, the machine must be kept in a level state.
● Every kind of oil can't be mixed and substituted. Abide strictly by
tabulation of oil trademark.
● After filling oil or changing oil, must check to see if there is any oil
leakage.
Note: When checking or replacing oil or cooling liquid, care should be
taken to avoid scald.
Process for Filling Oil
Filling Oil to Hydraulic Oil Tank
1.Check oil level:
Check the oil dipstick in oil tank. The oil surface should be kept above
the middle scale of dipstick. When it is not enough, please replenish with
oil.
Note: When checking oil level, the blade should be positioned on
the ground in level state, and the engine stops running.
2. Replacing with new oil:
Take following steps:
● Place the blade on the ground.
● Extinguish the engine.
● Loosen the bolt at the bottom of the tank, and drain the oil to a
container. After all the oil drained out, screw and tighten the nut.
● Open the filter; add filtered hydraulic oil until the oil level is up to the
middle of the glass observer.
● Install the filter cover.
● Start the Engine and operate all working mechanism and all joysticks
and move all the control levers to its max. position so as to fully fill in
hydraulic oil to hydraulic system and bleed out all air
● Add more oil to filter port if necessary until the oil level is up to the
middle of the glass observer.
3. When replace、clean the filter core or maintain system, you need screw
off the cover of the filter, now the auto-block valve will block off the oil
circuit so as to the oil in the tank could not pour.
Filling Oil to Fuel Tank
● Check fuel level
There is a specific fuel gauge on the control panel. Switch on the
power key. The gauge pointer must be kept over 1/10 scale.

70
● Discharging contaminated remains
Drain off water and contaminated remains inside the tank from
the drainage flange at the bottom. And then clean the fuel filling plug and
fuel filter. Replace the filter if it gets worn.
● Put the oil-suction pipe into oil container, and then switch on the oil-
feeding pump to fill in oil.
Filling Oil for gearbox
(1) Oil Variety
It is must to use specified oil for gearbox. We recommend user use
Mobile 1300 (Grad: SAE15W-40)
(2) Oil level checking
● Place Grader horizontally.
● Put the shift gears at idle.
● At the working temperature range
● Let the engine rotate unload.
● Loose dipstick anti-clockwise, and put out dipstick. Then clean it.
● After inserting dipstick into oil tube screw it tightly, then put dipstick
(at least twice)
● When temperature is 40°C, Oil level should be between the lower and
middle tick mark.
● When temperature is 80°C, Oil level should be between the upper and
middle tick mark.
The aim of checking cool oil level is guarantee gearbox and torque
enough oil. Heat oil level is fast criterion of oil level.
(3) Oil Changing And Oil Adding
After the machine has been used for first 100 working hours, it is
a Must to make first-time oil changing. After this, oil changing should
be carried out every 1000 working hours or every year!
Instruction to be followed when making oil changing:
● Park the machine on a flat area, with the gearbox being in its working
temperature. Take out the oil-draining plug and sealing ring to drain
out old oil.
Note: When draining oil. Not only drain off all oil from the gearbox,
but also drain off all oil from torque converter and radiator.
● Clean the draining plug and oil-pan surface, and then fix them on
again with new sealing ring.
● Replenish with new oil as required in terms of oil type and quantity.
It is necessary to remind: Use clean oil and oil filter for the
gearbox. And at any case, the oil level must be at right scale of oil
dipstick.
● Start up the engine, and let it run at idle speed.

71
● Put the gear-shifting control handle on neutral position.
● Add oil till to the upper scale of "cold" oil area.
● Parking brake should be at safe position.
● Engage every gear one time.
● Check the oil level again. If necessary, re-fill oil again.
(4). Replacing Oil Filter
Every time you change the oil. You also need to change the oil filter.
It is not allowed to use broken oil filter！
When mounting oil filter, the following steps should be respected:
● Coat thin oil upon the sealing ring.
● Press in oil filter till it touches with the sealing surface of the speeder,
and then tighten it by turning 1/3 or 1/2 turn.
● Fill with oil.
● Start the engine.
● Check the oil level when the engine running at idle speed and the
gearbox being in working temperature value.
● Check if the filter has been tightened. If necessary, re-tight it again by
hand.
(5) Notes
● When it needs to make repairing by welding for the machine with
problems, be sure to disconnect the wires of speeder NC box which is
located on the right side of operator (The box is fixed inside the
control cabin which is located on the right side of operator seat.).
Otherwise, the shock current caused during welding will burn off the
speeder NC box.
● When mounting or dismounting the engine and the speeder assembly,
or when hoisting the speeder assembly, take care not to drop down the
torque converter.
● It is prohibited to unqualified personnel to open the speeder NC box.
Don't mount or dismount the cable connection board for the speeder
NC box, when the power is still on. Such operation must be done only
after the power is off.
● After finishing repairing, please re-connect the speeder NC box to its
original position as required. Otherwise the machine could not be
started up and driven.

Filling Oil for Rear Axle

(1) Check oil level
Unscrew the oil-filling plug on driving axle housing. If it is found the
oil surface is up to the plug edge, then it is ok and sufficient. If not, please
replenish with oil.
(2) Replacing with new oil

72
☆ Discharge the old lubricating oil from the drainage plug respectively
on the driving axle and the hub reducer. (Such operation should be
done only when the oil being arm).
☆ Unscrew the oil filling (checking) plugs on the hub reducer on both
sides, and also unscrew the oil-filling (checking) plug on the driving
axle. Fill in will there is oil flowing out from the plug of the driving
axle. And it will be all right if there is oil flowing out from inspection
area of the hub reducer (at this time the arrow sign on the hub reducer
should point downward. and the inspection area just locates on the
end of the arrow sign.) After that, put on the plugs and tighten them.
Filling Oil for the Engine
(1) Check oil level
☆ Take out the oil dipstick, clean and dry it. And then insert it into.
After this take it out again for checking.
☆ And the oil level is all right if the oil surface lies between upper and
lower scale of the dipstick. If the oil level is bellowing the lower
scale, replenish it with oil till the upper level.
☆ Checking oil level can only be implemented before making any work
or after the engine stops running for about 15 minutes
☆ Double check cleanness of the oil. If it is found that the oil is over
polluted, replace it completely with new oil.
(2) Replace with new oil
☆ Discharge the polluted oil from the drainage plug at the bottom of oil
pan of the engine. Fill in with new oil from oil filling plug till the oil
level up to the upper scale of dipstick.
☆ After making the engine run at low speed, stop the engine and re-
check the oil level. If the oil level is not enough, replenish with oil till
upper scale of dipstick.
☆ When filling in oil, care should be taken to keep the oil level not
beyond the upper scale.
☆ Replacing with new oil for the engine can only be done when the
engine is till hot.
Rotating blade worm gear box
① Oil level checking
● Rotating blade worm gear box to place it horizontally
● Oil level (tiptop) shall be in the middle of the observer hole. Refill
more oil to the port if necessary.
② Oil change
● The blade shall incline to the side of the oil plug and support on the
ground, so as to let the oil draining quicker.
● Remove the drain plug to drain oil into a container. You can remove
the filling plug to expedite drain.

73
● Clean the plug and screw it with new sealing ring and fasten it
● Place the blade horizontal with blade up-down cylinder
● Replenish oil to the level as required (up to the middle position of
lipstick)
● Clean the oil plug and screw it after changing with a new sealing ring.
Balancing box
① Oil level checking
● Oil level should be in the middle of the indicator, i.e. the highest oil
level.
● Removing the ventilation breather, refill with more oil if necessary
② oil Change

● Remove the oil plugs (two plugs for each box) to drain the oil into a
container until the box is empty.
● Clean the oil plug and screw it on with a new sealing ring.
● Take out the ventilation breather, and refill with new oil until the oil
level is up to the middle of the oil level indicator, i.e. oil tiptop.
● Refit the ventilation breather and fasten it.
Cooling fluid supplying
50% anti-freezing fluid is used as cooling fluid for the engine. When
air temperature is lower -37°C .The concentration should be boost to 60%
and adjusted according to the maintenance manual.
● Water supplying
☆ When the cooling water for the engine gets overheated, firstly check
the water level, if necessary. Fill in more water. And at the same time.
Also check if the radiator element has been blocked and if the hose
has been worn out. Be sure to put the radiator cover tightly to prevent
cooling water evaporating.
☆ Replacing cooling water for radiator should be done only after the
radiator being in cold state. So firstly open the radiator cover, then
open the drainage valve at the bottom of radiator to flow out the
cooling water completely.
☆ After the water being replaced, start the engine to let water level be a
little bit lower. After that stop the engine, and refill Water again.
When the engine just stopped or during the engine running, it
is not allowed to open the radiator housing. And it will be very
dangerous if the hot water splashing out.
● Precautions Items
☆ During the hot weather with temperature up to 30°C, since the engine
will easily get hot, so it is better to park the machine in shading area.

74
☆ After work finished, in order to prolong the service lift of engine,
have the engine run at low speed for 5 minutes Only after the water
temperature gets lower, then can you stop the engine.
☆ The freezing point of anti-freezing addition should be lower 10°C
than the lowest temperature of the local area.
☆ The anti-freezing addition should be replaced every year.

 ChapterⅤ Transportation, storage and protection
(1) Transportation
Transportation: stepping transportation and loading transportation.
● Stepping transportation
① The distance of stepping: commonly under 100 km
② The distance of vehicle: between 30 m and 50 m.
● Loading regulation:
① Loading sizes: under 4.5 m from ground to the top of Grader.
② Loading means: proper motion loading in normally case,
suspending loading in especially case.
a) Proper motion loading:
The ground must be flat and have enough space about 10 m the
back of conveyance that can adjust Grader direction. After stopping
conveyance, backing tow truck. Grader step on conveyance, then
brake, and fasten Grader to conveyance.
b) Suspending loading (fig. 11)
Suspending loading note:
● Shutting engine, pull out the key after loading equipment.
● Lock frond and rear frame by a bacilliform lock.
● When suspend Grader, cord must through suspending hook.
● Frond frame and rear frame have separately left and right suspending
hook. Can’t suspend Grader only one side or intercross.
● Suspending tool require: A flying rings must have four same length
suspending hook.
● The power of suspend loading must be under the limitation of
suspending tool.
● During transportation, it is necessary to wedge tyres by chock and bind tightly. Abide
to weight, width and length of transportation regulation.
NOTE: loading and unloading carefully.
Don’t let anybody and vehicle enter the area under suspending
vehicle. Especially notice: please avoid destroying hydraulic tube
during transportation.

88
 Figure 11. Hint map for shipping
(1) Traction
● Take up the traction rod at rear mate-weight, pull on the rope for
traction and put down the traction rod to original position.
Pay attention to this when doing traction
1. Rope for traction must have been pulled on.
2.Be sure the braking system of vehicle being dragged is in gear;
otherwise don’t do this job.
3. If vehicle in trouble is dragged on the bad road. it will be farther
destroyed.
4. It just applies for dragging vehicle in trouble to check point, not for far
traction.
5. When our product is in trouble, please consult local XCMG dealer for
traction process.
Not to drag the machine unless in exigency. Do process as follow
when dragging.
1. It needs to fill in blocks below wheels when braking system is on
the fly. It will prevent the machine from moving suddenly.
2. Put off hand brake when dragging, control the speed within
10km/h and distance not over 10km. Try to drag the machine to
nearest check point. You should use export trailer if it need to
move the grader for far way.
●Check whether the dragrope or traction rod is strong enough to support
the weight of vehicle being dragging. If the vehicle would pass mud or
slope, it need two dragrope and one traction rod that can support 1.5
multiple weight at lease.

89
(2). Storage
Before Storing
If a grader needs to be stored for a long time, take the following
steps:
● Clean thoroughly the machine, have it be dry and store it in dry
storage house. If the machine has to be stored under open air, then it
should be stored on the concrete ground where it is easy to drain off
water, and cover it with canvas.
● Before storing it, fill up the fuel tank, add grease and change hydraulic
oil.
● Coat thin grease on the piston that extends out from hydraulic
cylinder.
● Dismount the negative pole of battery and close the battery box cover.
Or remove the battery from the machine and store it separately.
● If the air temperature falls down below 0°C, add anti-freezing
addition into cooling water of the radiator.
● Put on the security lock and then lock articulation locking-bar. After
that engage the parking brake.
During Storage
● Daily Parking
Park the grader on a place, with its blade resting on the ground
horizontally. Try your best to keep the grader inside a dry storage, and
moisture must be avoided. If, because of condition
☆ Limitation, the machine has to be kept outside, a shelter cloth must be
used to cover it.
☆ Turn the ignition switch to "OFF" position, plug out the key and keep
it in a safe place.
☆ After the ignition key being plugged out. Operate slowly the control
levers of the working mechanism for 2 to 3 times, so as to release the
remained pressure inside the cylinders and hoses, and then leave
them at their neutral positions.
☆ Place the gear-shifting lever at neutral position, and the parking brake
must be engaged.
☆ Lock the front and rear frame with the lock bar.
☆ Lock all the parts that have locking key. Pull out the keys and keep
them safely.
☆ In winter or cold weather ( when the environmental temperature
below 0°C ), anti-freezing addition must be applied into the cooling
water. Cooling water must be drained out completely for those
machines without anti-freezing addition in the cooling system, so that
the engine can be protected from being cracked by ice.
● Long Time Storage

90
 The storage period for the machine can be short-term and long-term.
For short-term, the storage period should not be over two months Over
two months must be taken as a long -term storage. The parking place for
storage should be sheltered, ventilated and dry and without any corrosive
substances or gas. Before storage, the exposed parts such as cylinder
pistons and shaft should be greased for anti-corrosion. And before long -
term storage, the surfaces on the machine should also be sprayed with
wax to avoid being rusted.
Within one month:
Beside those mentioned in the Daily Parking, the following
procedures must be noted:
☆ Start and drive the machine every week, and operate its working
mechanism to let it be ready for work at any time.
Over one month:
Except those mentioned in Daily Parking, the following procedures
must also be noted.
☆ Check all the oil levels and lubricating points to see if the oil being in
the level as required.
☆ Considering the raining season, try your best to park the machine on
a hard ground of a higher place.
☆ The battery must be removed.
Although the machine is stored indoor, if it is too hot or damp, the
battery must be dismounted to get it stored in a better place, and charge
it once a week.
☆ Parts which moisture can easily get in (such as: ventilating device
and air filter) should be covered with a cloth.
☆ The inflation pressure of the tyres must be standard. Check the wear
and damage of the tyres.
In order to release the heavy load on the tyres, it is better to jack up
the machine to let it be in float state.
If the grader can't be jacked up, the inflation of the tyres must be
checked every two weeks to ensure the pressure.
☆ Restore the machine into ready-work condition each week. Start the
engine and let it warm up, and then move the machine back and forth a
little bit. If you thank it is necessary to activate the working mechanism,
before you do it, the grease on the cylinder rods must be cleaned away.
And after such attempt, apply grease to cylinder rods again.
Notes
In case the anti-rusting substance is used to avoid rust indoor,
then door and windows must be opened to keep poison gas away.
After a long Time Storage

91
● Move away all the protection coverings.
● Clean away the anti-rust grease on the exposed parts.
● Drain out the oil inside the engine, gearbox and driving axle, and then
wash them and refill with new oil.
● Drain out the debris and water from hydraulic oil tank and fuel tank.
● Dismantle the pneumatic cylinder of the engine, and lubricate the
valve and rocker shaft. And check the working of each valve.
● Fill the radiator with cooling water to the standard level.
● Charge the battery again and connect it to the wires.
● Adjust the inflation pressure of the tyres in accordance with the road
condition.
● Follow the checking procedures before operation.
● Warn up engine.
● Apply the grease to lubricating nipples.
Note
If the machine is not applied with anti-rust treatment every month
during storage, please consult Xuzhou xugong road construction
machinery co.,ltd or your local XCMG dealers.
Notice of tyre storage:
● Tire must be deposited in storehouse, without permissive man can't
enter. If you must conserve tyre outdoors, please hang sign “prohibition
enter” out of fencing.
● Storehouse must is dryness, cleanness, because water will accelerate
rubber oxidation; filth and oil will corrupt tyre. We should to let tyre
avoiding light, heat and ventilation. Incorrect storage will influence
seriously the quality and usage lift of tyre.
● Let tyre stand on ground and tighten it by stopper. If the side face of
tyre contact ground, it will be staved and influence it’s quality.

Appendix
Replenish illuminate for electron-control CUMMINS engine
Engine flameout: Switch the key (No. 12) to 0.
Engine preheats process: There is a preheat indicating Lamp (No.15) on
the Main dashboard. When the key is switched toⅠ, The engine preheats
itself automatically and the preheat indicating Lamp illuminates, a few
seconds later the lamp goes off, to show the engine has been warmed up,
at this time you can start the engine.
Engine Fault Diagnostics:
The engine can diagnose by itself. There are a Warning Lamp

97
(yellow) and a Stop Lamp (red) on the Main dashboard and also a
Diagnostic Switch and a Increment/ Decrement switch on the
switchboard. You can diagnose the engine by the two lamps and two
switches.
Warning Lamp (yellow) - the Warning Lamp provides important
operation messages. The operator should pay attention to these messages
timely. The Warning Lamp is also used to delineate diagnostics fault
codes.
Stop Lamp (red) - The Stop Lamp provides critical operation
messages. These messages require operator to take immediate and
decisive response. The Stop Lamp is also used to flash out diagnostic
fault codes.
Normally, if the Key is turned on but the Diagnostic Switch off, the
indicator lamps will illuminate for approximately two seconds and then
go off, one after the other, to verify the engine is all right and you can
start it as normal. If they don’t go off after two seconds, it indicates that
the engine has some fault. If the yellow lamps remain on, that shows
there are ordinary fault, and the red lamp show critical fault. Now you
should enter the diagnosis mode to diagnose fault.
When diagnose, the Key must switch on and the engine is not
running. The process is:
Turn on the Diagnostic Switch on the switchboard, enter the fault
diagnosis mode, now the two lamps will flash regularly, you can judge
the concrete fault by the flash regular.
After the Diagnostic Switch is turned on, the yellow lamp will
illuminate firstly, about three seconds later the yellow lamp goes off and
the red begins to flash regularly. (For example, if the fault code is 115,
therefore the red flashes once, keeps off one second, flashes once again,
keeps off for one second again, then flashes five times.) When a fault
code is flashed completely, the red lamp stops flashing and goes off, at
the same time the yellow lamp illuminates. Three seconds later, the
yellow lamp goes off and the red lamp flashes regularly again. Continue
circulate ceaselessly like this. The red lamp is used to flash fault codes,
and the yellow lamp to indicate one cycle of flashing fault codes ending.
The Increment/Decrement Switch on the switchboard is used to
sequence forward or backwards through the active faults. The detail is:
when the engine goes wrong, turn on the Diagnostic Switch to enter the
fault diagnosis mode. The two lamps begin to flash; from the regular
flash you can judge the concrete fault. Now press the lower of the
Increment/Decrement Switch, you will enter the next fault mode.
Similarly, you can judge the second fault from the flash regular. Now
press the Increment/Decrement Switch to enter the third fault mode,
judge the third fault. If press the upper of the Increment/Decrement
Switch, you will go back to the second fault mode, press the upper again

98
you will go back to the first mode. By this way, you can look over faults
of engine one by one. If the engine has only one fault, the flash regular
will be same in every fault modes.
If you want to know the detailed description, relation between fault
codes and engine faults of electronic CUMMINS engine, read the manual
of CUMMINS engine or consult the service stations of CUMMINS
Corporation.
