BREAKING IN YOUR NEW MACHINE
Each machine is carefully adjusted and tested before shipment. However, a new machine requires careful operation during the first 100 hours to break in the various parts. If a machine is subjected to unreasonably hard use at the initial operation stage, the potential of performance will prematurely deteriorate and the service life will be reduced. A new machine must be operated with care, particularly with regard to the following items: After starting, let the engine idle for 5 minutes to allow proper engine warm-up prior to
actual operation.
Avoid operation with heavy loads or at high speeds. Sudden starting or acceleration, unnecessarily abrupt braking and sharp turning should be
avoided.
If the machine is delivered without any cooling water in the radiator, flush the cooling
system with ample clean water to clean the system, then fill the radiator with cooling water.
★ When checking, adding or changing the cooling water, fuel or lubrication oil, be sure not
to let any dust or dirt get in.
★ When replacing oil filters elements (cartridges), check their interiors for dirt and dust. If
heavily collected, check for possible cause before starting operation.
★ Hours of operation are indicated by the service meter.

TO STOP THE MACHIMNE
10- 21
Page 22
CAUTIONS FOR OPERATING
·Drive the machine straight during uphill or downhill traveling. Specially, turning the machine on the gravelly or clayey slant will cause the machine to slip easily.
·If the engine stops on the slant, depress the brake pedal immediately with full force, and at the same time, pull the parking brake lever to stop the machine. Then place the gearshift lever in N (neutral) and start the engine again. ▲ If the engine stops, the brake booster will not work, so the pedal will become heavier and
the braking effect will drop even if the brake is depressed with the same force.
·When tires get stuck while working in swamp or mud, travel with repeated articulation to simplify getting out of the poor ground.
·This machine has two brake control systems. If one brakes down, the other is still effective. However because braking capacity is reduced, drive slowly when traveling.
·Operating the articulation system when traveling at high speed may cause the machine to overturn. Always perform this operation at a speed below 10 km/h. (with articulated)
WHEN TRAVELING DOWNHILL
When traveling downhill, use the same speed range as when traveling uphill, and make full
use of the engine to brake the machine.
If travel speed is still too fast, use the foot brake.
▲ Never shift gear or place the transmission in neutral when traveling on a slope. It is
dangerous to do this, as the engine cannot be used to brake the machine. Always place the transmission in the appropriate speed range before starting to travel downhill.
▲ To prevent overrun, always shift down one gear at time. Allowing the engine to overrun
may cause damage to the engine or transmission.
10- 22
Page 23
▲Stop the machine on hard and even ground to prevent it from falling down or slipping. ▲ When the machine is to be left stopped for a while, leave the
engine in low idling or stop the engine. Apply the gearshift lever lock and the parking brake.
▲ Emergency brake ▲ If an emergency stop has been made when the machine is
traveling, use the parking brake together with the wheel brake. When the emergency brake has been used, check the parking brake lining, and then replace the lining.
TO STOP THE ENGINE
1. Idle the engine at low speed for about 5 minutes to cool it.
2. Set the fuel control lever to the STOP position to stop the
engine.
★ It is also possible to release the accelerator pedal to
STOP position and stop the engine.
3. Return the staring switch to the OFF position, and withdraw
the key. ★Do not attempt to stop a hot engine immediately unless it is necessary. Such unreasonable operation will case remarkable shortage of life of the various engine parts. ★Specially when stopping an overheated engine, be sure to cool the engine gradually by idling it at a middle idling speed.
4. Set the chopper switch on OFF position.

Position (1) Angle of blade and body centerline is called the blade propulsion angle. In the normal scraping work, set the angle at 60°, more or less. Set at a lesser angle when the scraping resistance is great, or when the soil is hard, or when the soil in front of the blade is difficult to carry or throw to the side.
Rear wheel and blade Blade and frame
ADJUSTMENT IN SHIFTING OF WORK ATTACHMENT
It is essential to shift the work attachment to an optimum position for each work to allow high job efficiency.
BLADE PROJECTION
The degree of projection is controllable by the control lever during operation. If further projection is needed, stop the grader for a while and change the installing position of the blade horizontal shifting cylinder piston rod, as follows.
·Projection to left
PROPULSION ANGLE OF BLADE
ADJUSTMENT OF BLADE CUTTING ANGLE
In hard soil cutting, it is advisable to lean the blade forward. As the soil becomes softer, lean the blade more backward. This operation will improve job efficiency. It is essential to adjust the cutting angle of blade, depending on the soil condition.
STANDARD BLADE CUTTING ANGLE (32°)
10- 25
Page 26
ADJUSTMENT
Standard cutting angle position can get by operating power tilt control lever.
1. Turn the blade so as not to touch the
grader body and set the blade in the same
direction to the body.
2. Then,Operate power tilt control lever(1) .
A shear pin (1) is provided on the CIRCLE to prevent the blade from unexpected failure, because of abnormal impact load placed on the blade edge during operation. If the shear pin is broken during operation, remove bolt (2) and lock plate and pull out the shear pin to replace by new one.
SAFFLY DEVICE OF BLADE
During the operation of scraping, when the rotation is required, if encounter resistance,don’t force the rotation, please bring the soil scraping plate and rotary, after the angle is adjusted, then re-process the operation of scroping.
10- 26
Page 27
1) Fully protrude the blade and draw bar
to the right so that blade angle shown in the figure can be obtained.
2) Depress lifter lock pin pedal (1) on
operator´ s compartment to remove
pin(2). ★If the blade cannot be removed because of interference with lifter (3), operate the blade lift cylinders as necessary.
3) Rotate lifter (3) by protruding the
right-hard blade lift cylinder piston
rod and retracting the left-hard blade
lift cylinder piston rod. When top
hole (A) in lifter approaches pin(2),
release lifter lock pin pedal(1) and
slowly rotate the lifter until pin(2)
enters hole(A).
4) Retract the right-hard lift cylinder
and protrude the left-hard cylinder.
Repeat this several times so that
circle is rotated with the blade raised
on the right-hard side, and desired
bank-cut posture can be attained.
1) Rotate lifter (1) in a similar manner to the
bank cutting posture, and lock it using bank control lock pin (2).
2) Rotate the circle to the desired position. ★ Put the machine in the left hand side shoulder reach posture using the same procedure as the above.
BANK-CUTTING POSTURE (RIGHT SIDE)
★When bringing the blade into bank-cut posture, be careful not to clash the blade against various portions of the machine. ★When bringing the blade into bank-cut posture on the left-side of the machine, change every “left-hand” and “right-hand” in the above mentioned description with each other. ★Cutting edge of the blade may brake pavement if the blade is brought into bank-cut posture on the roadway. Cover the pavement with iron plate at the portion with the blade cutting edge may come into collision. ★Relocating the blade side-shift cylinder piston rod mounting position to the right (when right-hand bank cutting is made) or to the left (when left-hand bank cutting is made) will improve band cutting efficiency.(See side –shifting of the Blade) ▲ Do not attempt to depress the bank control lock pin removing pedal unless the blade is
rested on the ground. If the pin is removed with the blade raised off the ground, dangerous falling of the blade with rotation of the circle may result.

Page 28
1.Take off lock line (1).
2.Set the lock line to the bracket (2) in the rear.
★ Do not articulate the machine with propulsion angle of the blade. Otherwise, the blade may bend the step. ★When turning with the machine articulated, pay particular attention to the clearance between the blade end and the rear wheel.
Remove bolt (1) and select a bolt hole adequate to the cutting angle. The cutting angle is adjustable from 58ºto 68º (standard)
★When increasing the size of the shoulder reach, change the mounting position of the piston rod of the blade horizontal feed cylinder. (Refer to the section on blade thrust) ★The banking performance is improved, if the mounting position for the piston rod of the blade horizontal feed cylinder is changed as follows:
·When banking to right, to a position where the blade is thrust to right.
·When banking to left, to a position where the blade is thrust to left.
ARTICULATED OPERATIONS
When performing operations with the machine articulated, remove the lock line on the left side of the machine. The machine can be articulated 26º to both right and left, giving a minimum turning radius of
6.6 m.
▲For normal traveling operations, do not remove the lock link.
ADJUSTMENT OF SCARIFIER a. ADJUSTMENT OF CUTTING ANGLE

HOW TO CHANGE TIRES
1.Front wheel
1) Place the work attachment on a ground and pull fully parking brake lever (1).
2) Then, attach the socket wrench (accessory machine tool) to hub nuts (2) and bolts (3) and loosen all the hub nuts and bolts by 3/4 to 1 turn.
3) Depress the lift cylinder. If the front tires are lifted, remove hub nuts (2) and bolts (3) and change all the tires.
4) When installing, align the tire with stud (4), then install and tighten lightly with hub nuts (2).
5) Tighten bolt (3) lightly, then raise the lift cylinder, and lower the front tires to the ground. Follow steps 1 to 10 to tighten to the specified torque.
CHANGING TIRES
★Coat the threaded part with molybdenum disulphide grease before tightening. ★Tightening torque :450±50N.m ▲ Whenever the front tires are raised off the ground, support the front axle center frame on
the stand to assure safety.
2. Rear wheel
1) Repeat the front wheel change procedures 1) and 2).
2) Depress fully the right and left lift cylinder and the front tires are lifted about 50cm off ground. Retract the lift cylinder on the side where the tire is not removed, to lift the rear wheels.
3) Install new tires according to the procedure 4) of the front wheel tire change.
10- 31
Page 32
★Coat the threaded part with molybdenum disulphide grease before tightening. ★Tightening torque :450±50N.m ▲Whenever the rear wheel are raised off the ground, stably support the tandem on the block
to assure safety. ▲When a front tire punctures, do not attempt to travel the machine by temporarily applying a pad to the swing stopper. If it is necessary, travel the machine slowly only within the minimum necessary distance. In the case, be sure to securely keep the punctured tire off the ground with chains, etc.
HOW TO USE LEANING STOPPER
When the leaning pipe is damaged, temporarily prevent the front wheels from leaning so that the machine can be successfully self-propelled to the nearest repair shop.
HOW TO APPLY THE LEANING STOPPER
Fix the leaning rod to the front axle using the bolt provided in the toolbox. ▲ If the machine is traveled with the leaning cylinder piston rod fluctuating or the front
wheels leaning on one side, because of damaged leaning piping, dangerously unstable steering and excessively worn tire will result. Have the faulty leaning pipe repaired by mechanics quickly.
10- 32
Page 33
When traveling, set the blade at the minimum propulsion angle and raise the blade fully.
DRIVING ALONG ROAD
In addition to strict observance of traffic laws and regulations concerned, keep the following in mind:
POSITION OF BLADE WHEN TRAVELING
PRECAUTIONS WHEN TRAVELING ON ROAD
To relieve operator's fatigue, take a rest by 30 minutes to 1 hour and 30 minutes mode, every 80 kilometers or every 2 hours of traveling.

TOWING
TOWING THE MACHINE
This machine must not be towed except in emergencies. When towing the machine, take the following precautions.
When engine can be used
·Always keep the engine running when towing the machine, so that the steering and braking can be used.
When engine cannot be used
·When transporting a disabled machine by towing, the transportation distance should be within 600m at a speed of 8km/h or less. (When towing more than 600m, remove the drive shaft.) ★If the distance is more than the above mentioned, or it more than one day has elapsed since the engine trouble, be sure to use the trailer for transportation. ★If the machine is towed without the engine running, no lubrication oil will be supplied to the transmission. The gears and bearing are rotated, so this may cause them to be damaged. ★When the engine cannot be used or the steering booster cannot be used, operation of steering wheel is difficult, so run the machine slowly.
10- 34

COLD WEATHER OPERATION
PREPARATION FOR LOW TEMPERATURE
If the temperature becomes low, it becomes difficult to start the engine, and the coolant may freeze, so do as follows:
FUEL AND LUBRICANTS
Change the fuel and oil with low viscosity for all components. For details of the specified viscosity, see the TABLE OF FUEL, COOLANT AND LUBRICANTS.
COOLANT
After cleaning inside of the cooling system, add antifreeze to the coolant to prevent the coolant from freezing when the machine is not being used. ★For details of the antifreeze mixture when changing the coolant, see WHEN REQUIRED. CARE IN USING ANTIFREEZE Use a Permanent Antifreeze (ethylene glycol mixed with corrosion inhibitor, antifoam agent, etc.) meeting the standard requirements as shown below. With permanent antifreeze, no change of coolant is required for a year. If it is doubtful that an available antifreeze meets the standard requirements, ask the supplier of that antifreeze for information. STANDARD REQUIREMENT FOR PERMANENT ANTIFREEZE: <TECHNICAL SPECIFICATION SAFETY USED FOR VEHICALE ENGINE COOLANT> ……JT 225-1996
★Never use methanol, ethanol or propanol based antifreeze. ★Where no permanent antifreeze is available, an ethylene glycol antifreeze without corrosion
inhibitor may be used only for the cold season. In this case, clean the cooling system twice a year (in spring and autumn). When refilling the cooling system, add antifreeze in autumn, but do not add any in spring. ★Absolutely avoid using any water leak preventing agent irrespective of whether it is used do independently or mixed with an antifreeze.
★Do not mix one antifreeze with a different brand. ▲Antifreeze is flammable, so keep it away from any flame.
BATTERY
As ambient temperature drops, battery capacity will drop, and electrolyte may sometimes freeze if battery charge is low. Maintain battery at a charge lever of approx.100% and insulate it against cold temperature so that machine can be readily started the next morning. ★Measure specific gravity of fluid and rate of charge from the following conversion table.

★When electrolyte lever is low, add distilled water in the morning before work instead of after the day´s work. This is to prevent fluid from freezing at night.
▲To avoid gas explosions, do not bring fire or sparks near the battery. ▲If the electrolyte gets on your skin or clothes, immediately wash with plenty of clean water.

PERIODIC MAINTENANCE
Proper lubrication and maintenance assure trouble free operation and long machine life. Time and money spend for scheduled periodic maintenance will be amply compensated by prolonged machine operation and reduced operating coast. All hourly figures giving in the following descriptions are based on service meter readings. In practice, however, it is recommended to rearrange all of them into units of days, weeks and months to make the maintenance schedule more convenient. Under rough job site or operating conditions, it is necessary to somewhat shorten the maintenance intervals stated in this manual.

10- 84
Page 85
·Exhaust gas is dangerous. When running the engine for long periods in a poorly ventilated area, there is a danger of gas poisoning, so open the windows or doors to ensure a good supply of fresh air.
·Read the Operation and Maintenance Manual carefully. Learn how to use the control devices, gauges and warning devices. Be sure you understand the meaning of the Caution plates. Remember the checkpoints and checking method for engine oil, fuel, cooling water and hydraulic oil levels.
·When working on a road, pay attention to the safety of passing vehicles and pedestrians. If necessary, assign a signalman or provide temporary barricades.
·When getting on or off the machine, use the hand-rail and step provided. Do not jump or down from the machine.
·Do not leave parts or tools lying around in the vicinity of or on the floor of the operator´s compartment. Keep everything in its proper place.
·Before starting the machine, perform all necessary checks as stated in the Operation and Maintenance Manual.
BEFORE STARTING OPERATION
·Examine the lay of the land and the kind of oil at the work site to determine the dangerous points and the best method of operation. Proceed with the work only after making safety arrangements about the dangerous points.
·Inspect leakage from the fuel, lubricating and hydraulic system. Repair any fuel or oil leakage, and wipe off all dirty oil.
·Check that tire inflation pressure is standard, that hub nuts are not loosened, and that no other parts are damaged or missing. Machines having such failures should not be operated.
·Wipe off thoroughly any grease, oil or mud on the step, handrail, floor or control levels. Failure to do this may cause you to slip.
·Check the level of the fuel, lubricants and cooling water. Extinguish cigarettes before
checking or replenishing. Check that the radiator cap and each oil filler caps or plugs are firmly tightened.
·Adjust the operator´s seat until it is in the most comfortable position for operating.
·If a seat belt is provided, always use it. If the belt is damaged or worn, replace it with a new

· If these tests reveal anything wrong, however slight it may be ,contact the man in charge of the machine and operate the machine only after obtaining his permission.
AFTER STARTING ENGINE
10- 86
Page 87
·Always concentrate. It is extremely dangerous to allow yourself to be distracted or to think of other things when operating a machine.
In dangerous place, or where there is restricted visibility, it is important to get down from the machine and confirm whether it is safe before continuing work.
·The work area should be made as flat as possible. If the work area is flat, operation is made much easier and this reduces operator fatigue.
·The machine should always be operated at a speed where it can be correctly controlled. Never do the following:
★Speeding ★Sudden starting, sudden braking, sudden turning. ★Snaking ★Coasting
·Be careful of those around you, and always confirm that there is
no person or obstacle in the way before driving or turning the machine.
·Always operate slowly in crowded places. On haul roads or in narrow places, give way to loaded vehicles.
·Raise each work piece of equipment as high as possible and keep the blade within the machine width while traveling. Maintain the specified traveling posture.
· Do not control the vehicle speed by pressing the brake as it will overheat the brake disc.
·Do not allow unauthorized persons into wok area.
·Always be aware of the operating capacity of the machine.
Using the machine to do work beyond its capacity will not only damage the machine, but may even cause unexpected accidents.
DURING OPERATION
10- 87
Page 88
·The machine condition can be judged from many factors. Changes in the gauges, sound, vibration, exhaust gas color or response of the control levels can indicate the occurrence of some disorder. If any disorder occurs, park the machine immediately in a safe place and take appropriate action. Be especially careful in the case of a fuel leak, as there is danger of fire.
·If the machine breaks down and needs to be towed, first confirm that the brakes are working properly, and then tow, using a wire rope or any other suitable towing equipment.
·When parking the machine after discontinuing work, put the
gear shift level into “NEUTRAL”, apply the brake lock,
lower the blade , scarifier and ripper to the ground and put all
safety levers into “LOCK”, position. Never leave the
operator´s seat without switching the engine off.
·When continuing operations after rain, remember that
conditions will have changed from those before the rain started, so proceed with caution.
·Be particularly careful when approaching the shoulder of the road or cliffs, as they may have been loosened by the rain
·Check the load of limits of bridges before crossing.
·When operating on uneven ground, drive at low speed as
possible and avoid sudden changes in direction.
·When operating at the edge of a cliff or on the shoulder of a road, remember the following points: Do not approach the edge of the cliff or road shoulder by mistake.
·When operating in a place where is danger of the machine falling over the side, be doubly careful.
10- 88
Page 89
·When working on river embankments or other places made of piled soil, there is the danger that the weight or vibration of the machine may cause the machine to sink into the piled soil, so be extremely careful when operating in such places.
·When driving on a slope, always drive directly up or down it. Never drive horizontally or diagonally across the slope, as this may cause the machine to roll over or slip sideways.
·When going down a slope, use the engine as a brake. If this is not enough to control the speed of the machine, use the wheel brake as well. Never coast down a slope with
the gearshift lever in “NEUTRAL” or with clutch
disengaged.
·As far as possible, avoid turning the machine on a slope. It may cause the machine to roll over or slip sideways.
·Before going up to down a slope, select a travel speed most suited to the slope. Do not change gear on the slope.

1. Securely brake the trailer and chock trailer tires. Securely fix the ramp boards in place so that the center of motor grader being loaded coincides with the centerline of the trailer. ★Width, length and thickness of ramp boards must large enough to assure safe loading and unloading of the motor grader. ▲Remove the mud form the undercarriage to prevent the machine form slipping to the side on slopes.
2. Slowly travel the motor grader on the ramp straight. ▲Never attempt to change the direction of travel on the ramp. If it is necessary to change the direction of travel, once return the machine to the original position.
3. Properly load the motor grade on the trailer at the specified position. To prevent the grader on the trailer from moving back and forth during transportation, apply a chock to front and rear of each wheel and fix the motor grader with chains and wire ropes. Pay special care to prevent the grader from slipping sideward.
4. Rest the work equipment on the trailer deck and observe the following:
·Pull the parking brake lever.
·Place the gearshift lever in the neutral position.
·Place work equipment control lever in hold position.
·Apply safety locks.
·Pull the starting switch key out. ★Determine the optimum transportation route, taking width of road and permissible overhead clearance and weight limitation into consideration.
★Lock the articulation lock pin in the same way as for normal travel. ▲Do not leave the front wheels raised off the trailer deck using the brake as a jack. The front
wheels will fall gradually during transportation. ▲When loading the machine, choose a firm level road surface. Be sure that you are well clear of the road shoulder. ★When transporting this machine, check with your POWERTRAC distributor for advice.
