driving speed.
● Unlock the hand brake before traveling.

Safety traveling
Personal security
● 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

20
● 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.

21
● 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 or accelerating may cause serious hurt!
When traveling, to shift in turn. It is very dangerous to skip
shifts and it’s forbidden to do that.

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.

22
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.

● 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
23
● 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,

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

24
● 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 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
25
 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.

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
26
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 for the weight of the machine that is being towed.
During the towing operation, never stand between the towing
27
 machine and the machine being towed.
● Never bestraddle your feet and stand on the wire rope.

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.
28
● 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
29
 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.

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.

system, it can 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.
● Never work under the loader with poor support.

☆ Should pay attention to the paces while walking.
● Don't jump off from machine definitely. When getting on or off
the machine, should face the machine, and must use the ladder
and 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.
● Don’t stand on the top of tire, it is smooth and dangerous
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.
● 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
35
 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
36
 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.
● 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.
Checking cooling system
● 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
37
 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 remove the engine oil temperature sensor, water
temperature sensor; torque converter sensor and air-conditioner
tubes so as not to be get scaled.

● Cool system contain alkaline material, avoid touching your own

skin 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
38
 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.
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.
39
● 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.
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

40
 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. If the electrolyte level reaches near "
lower", then refill stilled water till it reaches " upper" level.
41
● 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

42
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
43
 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 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.

Points to be followed when storing the tyres

● Being as the normal knowledge that the tyres must be stored in
stocks. Anybody without prior approval should not be allowed
to enter into. If it needs to store the tyres outdoors, then make a
protection railings surrounding the tyres storing area, with
marking " No Access"
● Tyres should be stored in dry and clean area, otherwise moisture
will speed up the oxidation process of tyres, and oil and polluted
dirt will make tyres corroded more quickly. And when storing
tyres, you should consider, as much as possible, sheltering and
heat-insulation, and avoid air ventilation. The tyres under
storage should be covered with canvas, plastic or other covering
44
 staffs. Incorrect storage for tyres will seriously affect their
quality and service life.
● Put tyres on the flat ground vertically, and fix them by means of
wedges, so as to prevent them falling down even if touched by
somebody disapproved. If a tyre is placed on the ground by its
side, then it may be pressed flat, which being as a result, will
worsen its quality. The tyres under storage should be turned
once every month. (Turn 90°).
● If wheel tyre is to fall down, get away from it, since the tyres 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 should replace the components listed in the table because
45
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.
● Please contact with XUZHOU XUGONG ROAD CONSTRUCTION

● Use plates as slope plates that are of enough strength, enough
length and width, so that it can be sure the slope plates are
strong and safe enough to load or unload the machine. The angle
between the slope plates and ground should not be more than
15". And the gap between slope plates should be in accordance
with the wheel of the machine to be loaded or unloaded.
● Make sure the slopes plates are securely fastened in same
heighten level.
● Make sure the slope plates are free of grease、 oil、 ice and other
loosen material. And also remove away the dirt from the
machine wheels.
● Never make steering on the slope plates. But if the steering has
to be done, then get the machine off from the slope plates. After
steering is made you can drive the machine up the slope plates.
● After the machine being loaded on the vehicles, lock the
steering device and put a wedge under the machine wheels. And
47
 then fasten the machine with ropes.

Transporting on Road
● When delivering the machine by means of vehicles, follow the
national or local rules and regulations in terms of transporting
weight, height, width and length strictly. And relative traffic
rules should also be abided.
● When determining the road route, the weight, height, width and
length of the machine should be taken into consideration.
● When passing the bridge or other buildings a private area, firstly
check if the bridges or these buildings are strong enough to
endure the machine weight. When traveling on the public road,
following relative rules or regulations.

The hood is made of complex material. When the engine is
wrong, the hood would be upturned by the manual pump and
hydraulic cylinder. The manual pump is on the left side of rear
frame. Choose a needed direction by turning the handle of the
pump. When the direction is up, insert the pole taken with the
grader into the sleeve on the pump’s side and pull it up and down,
the hood will be upturned. When the direction is down, the hood
will return primary position via itself gravity.

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:
58
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.
● 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. 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:

59
 1. 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.
2. Clean the rough and fine engine oil filter and fuel filter.
3. Check the tightness of fan belt, generator belt and air-
conditioner compress belt.
4. Check the gravity and reserves of the storage battery
electrolyte tighten the joints of storage battery.
5. Check the oil level of the speeder.
6. Check the airproof state of the hydraulic system and brake
system.
7. Check the connection and tightening state of every control
stick and accelerator pusher.
8. 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.
Utility
Starting up

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 is in the neutral
position.
● Whether the air-condition (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.

60
 Only after the above-mentioned 6 elements are in proper
order can the engine be started.
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 meters/ and step
on the accelerator.
● Press starting switch to switch on starting motor, then the engine
is started.
● 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. At the same time, pay close attention to the
indication of meters.
If there is no abnormal situation and the brake pilot 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.
● Engine preheating: There is engine preheating pilot lamp (No.
9) on the control board. When the key switch turn to position I
to electrify, engine preheat automatically; the pilot lamp will
shine, it means engine is preheating; then the pilot lamp
extinguish after several seconds, it means that engine finish
preheating. Just this time, you can start engine.

61
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 pilot 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.
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 pilot
is normal.
Traveling
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.
62
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. When working on bad road, you can use front-
wheel drive at the same time. III. IV. V. VI gear: smooth road
surface, high speed traveling.

Attention:
it’s forbidden to use front-wheel drive when using IV. V. VI gear.

● 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.

63
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.
Braking
● 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
Front-wheel drive
● When working on bad road, you can use front-wheel drive. Put
the gear selector to neutral and turn the traction adjusting button
to least position, then press down the front-wheel drive switch,
the pilot lamp will shine. Put gear selector to forward I gear or
forward II. III gear position, and then turn the traction-adjusting
button according to job status. The front-wheel drive will do job
automatically and the pilot lamp of relating gear will shine.
● When you want to stop front-wheel drive, put the gear selector
to neutral and turn the traction-adjusting button to least position.
Then loosen the control switch to release front-wheel drive, all
the pilot lamp of front-wheel drive will extinguish.
● If you want to work only by front-wheel drive, put the gear
selector to neutral, and then press down switch of forward I
64
 gear, the machine will do job in relating gear. You can also
loosen the control switch to stop using it.
Attention: It’s forbidden to use front-wheel drive when
transferring on building site or driving on road. Before startup
front-wheel drive, turn the traction-adjusting button to least
position.
Blade adjustment
It 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.
Slewing- frame rotating
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)
● For placing at position 1 or 2, take the slewing frame cylinder
fully in.
● For placing at position 4 or 6, put out fully the slewing frame
cylinder.
● After finishing the above step, engage the blade cylinder to
lower down the blade onto ground (hydraulic system has no
load pressure).
● Take away the locking pin of slewing frame.
● When rotating slewing-frame, operate the control joysticks of
the blade raising cylinder and blade slewing cylinder.
● Lock the slewing frame with the locking pin.

65
 Fig. 8 Slewing-frame rotating position
Front wheel inclining
Operate the rod to make the front wheel inclining to either
right or left side. Incline the front wheel to get:
● Smaller turning radius. During leveling operation, it can
strengthen the capability of anti-slippery of the tire.
● Even if it is working on the slope, the wheel will have better
adhesive power.

66
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.
Attention: 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.

67
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.
Attention: Lift the blade when it is not in operation.
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 toImprove 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.
Digging ditches
Digging ditches operation is used for digging ditches along the
68
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 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
69
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.
● 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.
Essential of 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.
● The articulated steering greatly reduces the turning radius of the

70
 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.
● 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.
● 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.
● Without changing blade operation height, it will extend the
blade by operating blade lead-out device.
● The machine is not suitable to work underground or poor
ventilated environment, because it has a direct-injection engine.
The waste gas from engine cannot be specially screened
completely by the above-mentioned condition.
Parking
Step for parking
● Release the throttle pedal, and step on braking pedal till the
machine stopping, place the speed control stick in neutral
position.
● The machine stops completely. Press down the hand- braking
switch and have it engaged.
● Lower the blade to ground.
● Position the machine on the flat ground where there is no falling
stone, slope or not in risk of suffering floods. It is necessary, the
machine can be parked temporarily on the slope ground, for
which place a wedge under the wheels to prevent the machine
moving.
71
Steps for stopping the engine
Don’t stop the engine immediately after parking. Before
stopping the engine, make the engine run in idle for 5 minutes to
cool down thoroughly. Press down the key of extinguisher to stop
engine. Turn the key switch of the power to Position "0" to break

73
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:
Note: Keep antifreeze away from fire and no smoking when
using antifreeze.
● 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.
Precautions when using battery
● 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.

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

74
 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 do job as the
following:
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.

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.

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
75
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: 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 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.
76
 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 will decrease
quickly to normal value (about within 2~3 minutes). If the oil
77
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:
● The 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, take
care 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
2、When replace 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 the nut.
● Tighten the nut.

80
● 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.
● Loose the two whorl stopples on upper tank when it need to
disassembly inhale vitta during maintaining system. At the end,
renew oil properly, and then tighten the two whorl stopples.
Filling Oil to Fuel Tank
1、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.
2、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.
3、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.
81
● 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.
● 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
82
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 to 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

83
● 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 till 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.
Worm gear box for rotating blade

84
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.
● 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.

85
1、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 stops or during the engine is running,
it is not allowed to open the radiator housing. And it will be
very dangerous if the hot water splashing out.
2、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.
● 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.

 Figure 9 Drawing for lubricating
Inspection and Maintenance
The machine could not work in high performance if without
the regulator inspection and maintenance. It is totally wrong to take
it for granted the machine can work properly, without needing
service and maintenance.Correct inspection and maintenance will
not only prolong the service lift of the machine, but also help find
problems earlier, so as to remedy them earlier, which, being as the
result, will reduce the time and cost for later service and
maintenance.
Checking and maintenance before working
● Check water level inside the radiator
● Check oil level for the engine tank.
● Check liquid level in fuel tank. Hydraulic oil tank and the
speeder.
● Check airproof state of every oil pipeline, water pipeline, air
pipeline and their components.
● Check if foot- braking and hand braking could work properly.
● Check if all control sticks could work freely and if they are in

87
 Neutral position.
● Check if pneumatic pressure of tyres are correct or not (2.6bar).
● Check if all mounting screws on hub, axle and transmission
shaft get loose.
Checking and maintenance after work finished
● Check fuel level.
● Check engine tank oil level and its cleanness, if it is found that
the oil level is too high or oil gets thin, find out the reason and
get it remedied.
● Check if there is any leakage from oil pipelines, water pipelines
and air pipelines
● Check the mounting tightness for the speeder, torque converter,
hydraulic pump, driving axle and braking device. And also
check airproof state for these parts and if they are overheated.
● Check if all the mounting screws on hub, axle and transmission
shaft get loose.
● When the air temperature is below 0°C, discharge the cooling
water off. (Cooling water with anti-freezing addition is
exceptional.)
● Apply grease to every lubricating nipple as scheduled.
The checking and maintenance for the machine should be
done properly. And care should be taken to prevent accident and
injury happening. During checking, mark a sign on the place with
problem and get the entire problem remedied after all checking
finishedMaking fire and smoking is strictly prohibited when
making checking and maintenance. And fire extinguisher should
also be prepared
Regular checking and maintenance
Proper lubrication and maintenance can ensure the machine to
work without problem with long service life. Since working
duration of the machine is prolonged and its working cost is
reduced, so the time and cost to be needed for regular maintenance
and service can be greatly reduce.

Engine Fault Diagnostics:

The engine can diagnose by itself. There are a Warning Lamp
(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

93
messages. These messages require operator to take immediate and
decisive response. The Stop Lamp is also used to flash out
diagnostic fault codes.
PNormally, 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 you will go back to the first
94
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.

ChapteⅤ Transportation, storage and protection

Transportation

100
 Transportation: stepping transportation and loading
transportation.
1、Stepping transportation
 The distance of stepping: commonly under 100 km
 The distance of vehicle: between 30 m and 50 m.
2、Loading regulation:
 Loading sizes: under 4.5 m from ground to the top of the
Grader.
 Loading means: proper motion loading in normally case,
suspending loading in especially case.
☆ Proper motion loading:
The ground must be flat and the back of conveyance has
enough space (about 10m) to adjust the Grader direction. First stop
the conveyance, back tow truck, drive the Grader step on
conveyance, then brake. Finally fasten the Grader to conveyance.
☆ Suspending loading follow the hint map (fig. 10).

101
 Figure 10. Hint map for shipping
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 has one suspending hook and rear frame has two
on left and right sides. Can’t suspend Grader only by one side
or intercross hook.
 The power of suspend loading must be under the limitation of
suspending tool.
● 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
102
notice: please avoid destroying hydraulic pipe during
transportation.

Traction
1、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：
 Rope for traction must have been pulled on.
 Be sure the braking system of vehicle being dragged is in gear;
otherwise don’t do this job.
 If vehicle in trouble is dragged on the bad road. it will be
farther destroyed.
 It just applies for dragging vehicle in trouble to check point,
not for far traction.
 When our product is in trouble, please consult local XCMG
dealer for traction process.
Not to drag the machine unless in exigency. Take the process
as follow when dragging：
 It needs to fill in blocks below wheels when braking system is
on the fly. It will prevent the machine from moving suddenly.
 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.
2、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.

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

103
 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
1、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
104
 protected from being cracked by ice.
2、Long Time Storage
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.
3、Within one month:
Except 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.
4、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.
105
 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.
Note ： 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
● 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.
106
 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.
