25
GR165/180/215/230D MOTOR GRADER USER’S MANUAL

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

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

26
GR165/180/215/230D MOTOR GRADER USER’S MANUAL

● 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 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,
27
GR165/180/215/230D MOTOR GRADER USER’S MANUAL

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 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.

28
GR165/180/215/230D MOTOR GRADER USER’S MANUAL

● 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.

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 machine and the machine being towed.
● Never bestraddle your feet and stand on the wire rope.

Ⅴ Safety operation
29
GR165/180/215/230D MOTOR GRADER USER’S MANUAL

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.

30
GR165/180/215/230D MOTOR GRADER USER’S MANUAL

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

Pay attention to surrounding environment


● No person except the workers is permitted to enter the working area. As the
working equipment of the grader moves up and down, and the grader itself
also moves around, it is forbidden to enter the working area of the working
device (under, front, rear, inside and sides). In case the machine can't work (for
example during checking), jock the working device by a safe method (safety
supports or blocks).

Keep away from dangerous place


● If the air released from the exhauster is injected to the easy-burning objects, or
the exhauster is near to them, fire will be easily lighted. So when you are near

31
GR165/180/215/230D MOTOR GRADER USER’S MANUAL

the easy-burning or dangerous materials such as oils, cotton, paper, withered


grass and chemicals, special attentions must be paid.

● 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.
● When cleaning the top surface of the battery, use a piece of cloth to cover it.

44
GR165/180/215/230D MOTOR GRADER USER’S MANUAL

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.

GR165/180/215/230D MOTOR GRADER USER’S MANUAL

abnormal situation and the brake indicating lamp goes off, then you can
release the parking brake and drive the machine.
Attention:
● Every starting can last 10-15 seconds at most. The quench time of each starting
should be at least 1 minute. The speed-controlling rod should be placed in the
neutral position. If your machine can’t start for three successive times, check
the machine according to the explanation in the operation manual. Start the
engine again after resolving the trouble problem.
● Before starting up, place all control sticks in neutral position, speed-gear in
idle gear and switches in reset position.
● At the time of starting up, it is not allowed to accelerate throttle to its max.
position to avoid damage against engine within sudden time.
● For other instruction concerning engine operation, please refer to specific
documentation of diesel engine.
3. After the engine being started up
● When the engine is started, make the engine run in 600-850r/min for 5 minutes
to raise its temperature. When the hydraulic system pressure goes up to more
than 10Mpa and the brake indicating lamp goes off, then you can release the
parking brake and drive the machine.
● It is not allowed to keep the engine continuously running at idle-gear with high
speed or low speed for more than 20 minutes. If it is necessary to keep the
engine running at idle-gear, then it is needed to have the engine be loaded
every now and then or let the engine run at medium-range speed.
Afterwards, the following checking should also be implemented before
driving the machine forward:
● Listen if there is any abnormal sound from transmission mechanism of engine.
● Check if all working mechanism could work properly.
● Check if the brake is safe and reliable.
● Check if the steering operation is flexible and reliable.
● Check if the circuit is in normal condition.
● Check if the lights and gauges are functioning, whether the indicating is

66
GR165/180/215/230D MOTOR GRADER USER’S MANUAL

normal.

Traveling
1. Move
● Lift blade and slew it back.
● Release stop parking brake.
● Place Shift control stick to position I or II, then slowly Step down the throttle
Pedal to accelerate.
Attention:
● When driving the machine on the slope ground or on the ground with tough
condition, it is prohibited to drive machine with high speed.
● Select proper traveling gear before driving down from slope. Never make gear
shifting during driving down from slope.
● It is also prohibited to drive machine with override speed when coming down
from slope. You can reduce speed by means of braking pedal.
2. Interchange between Gear Shifting and Forward/Reverse
● To shift the speed gear, you should operate in sequence.
● Gear shifting range:
gear Ⅰ、Ⅱ:levelling operation on conditions of uneven roads ,large amout of
shovelling and climbing.
gear Ⅲ、Ⅳ:fine levelling operation on even roads ,topsoil levelling,transfer
on uneven roads.
gear Ⅴ、Ⅵ:high speed running.
● 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
67
GR165/180/215/230D MOTOR GRADER USER’S MANUAL

gear-shifting, then step on the accelerate pedal again. If it is from high speed to
low speed, firstly release the throttle to slowly reduce traveling speed, then
apply gear-shifting.

3. Steering
● During driving, turn the steering wheel to the direction as desired, and then the
machine will make steering.
● This type of machine takes its articulation pin as its center, so during steering,
the front frame and rear frame are not in alignment.
● It will be very dangerous if making steering at very high traveling speed, so it
is not allowed to do so.
● Making steering when traveling on slope will cause tilting over to the machine,
so it is now allowed to do so.
4. Braking
● Don't put your feet on the braking pedal, if it is not very necessary.
● Don't step on the braking pedal repeatedly, if it is not necessary.
● When driving the machine down slop, take the engine as braking device.
Never make gear-shifting or apply idle gear of gearbox.

Working
1. Blade adjustment
As showed in the figure on control joystick for blade adjustment. The blade
position can be adjusted by controlling each joystick, so that the blade can be
adjusted at different position to apply different working situation.
Attention: Slewing the blade with load is forbidden.
2. Slewing- frame rotating

68
GR165/180/215/230D MOTOR GRADER USER’S MANUAL

Fig. 8 Slewing-frame rotating position

69
GR165/180/215/230D MOTOR GRADER USER’S MANUAL

Normally, the slewing-frame is locked at horizontal position. When needing


to tilt the blade, take the following steps to fix the blade at position 1 or 2 and
4 or 6. (See fig.8)
1 For placing at position 1 or 2, take the slewing frame cylinder fully in.
2 For placing o+ position 4 or 6, take in fully the slewing frame cylinder.
3 After finishing the above step, engage the blade cylinder to lower down the
blade onto ground (hydraulic system has no load pressure).
4 Take away the locking pin of slewing frame.
5 When rotating slewing-frame, operate the control joysticks of the blade
raising cylinder and blade slewing cylinder.
6 Lock the slewing frame with the locking pin.
3. Front wheel inclining
Operate the rod to make the front wheel inclining to either right or left
side. Incline the front wheel to get:
1 Smaller turning radius. During leveling operation, it can strengthen the
capability of anti-slippery of the tire.
2 Even if it is working on the slope, the wheel will have better adhesive
power.
4.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.

70
GR165/180/215/230D MOTOR GRADER USER’S MANUAL

Note:

Lift the scarifier up during grader's turning or reverse driving operation.

When the grader moves to another work site,the scarifier should be made in

traveling position.

5. Front dozer blade (option)


It is an option available at request. Operate the front blade control ever to
control the up-down motion of the blade.
Note: Lift the blade when it is not in operation.
6. Leveling operation
Leveling operation is applied in the project of road building, road repair and
maintenance, site leveling, ditch backfill or road-building material spreading etc.
During operation, it is required to adjust the blade angle properly according
to the project requirement and soil texture. Traveling forward in I gear, lower the
blade to cut into earth. Adjust the blade cutting depth, blade plane angle and
traveling direction all the time according to load and geography condition; so as
to make the earth scrapped moving laterally along the blade surface to unload the
earth to either side of the grader or between the two wheels. Pay attention not to
make the earth ridge in the track of the rear wheel, otherwise it will affect the
traction force of the grader, and thus cause an even surface for the scrapped area.
When performing ditch backfill, it is required to have the blade inclined to
the ditch, to unload the earth into the ditch, and ensure a safety traveling during
the operation. When performing reverse Operation, it is suggested to have the
blade revolving angle of 180°C so as to
Improve the operation efficiency. When operating leveling or gravel (or other
material) spreading at the last stage of shoveling operation, the blade should be
adjusted to the position at 90°C to its vertical axis, while grader should travel at
I gear, and the blade height being adjusted to cut a little amount of earth, so as to
make most of the shoveled earth to be pushed forward, with very little amount
flowing to either side. For the earth flowing to the two sides, lower the blade to

71
GR165/180/215/230D MOTOR GRADER USER’S MANUAL

the ground, and even the soil in a high traveling speed. Operating on a curved line,
the operator shall properly control the direction or make use of full wheel steering
to perform the operation flexibly.
7. Digging ditches
Digging ditches operation is used for digging ditches along the roadside or
drain in the site. During digging operation, normally the blade is put in inclination;
one end of the blade is placed on the ground for operation, the digging operation
includes 3 stages: demarcating, deepen and trimming. Before operation, clear out
obstacles, and carry out a primary leveling. Scarify the soil if necessary, and mark
the centerline of the ditch.
● Demarcating operation
Demarcating operation is a very important performance for the over 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

72
GR165/180/215/230D MOTOR GRADER USER’S MANUAL

the grader. Adjust the cutting depth all the time according to the change of
shoveling resistance, but not to make too big adjustment to avoid forming "wave"
to affect the operation next time. Try to keep the cutting depth and width of every
operation the more similar the better, and the last shoveling operation should meet
the overall depth and width of the ditch. Normally, for each cutting operation, it is
required to perform earth-moving operation according to soil texture and the size
of rigid. Pull the blade 10-20cm out of the rigid, and make the rigid caused by
earth-moving operation at the outer side of the rear wheel. What is more, keep the
front wheel in proper inclining towards the inner side of the ditch during every
shoveling and earth-moving operation, so as to maintain the grader's stability and
an easy traveling control.
● Trimming operation
Trimming operation is mainly applied for outer lateral slope trimming after
the ditch being dug to its total depth. During the operation, according to the
topography, you can put the grader on both sides of the ditch, and shovel the earth
to the outer edge of the ditch, or use the blade rear edge to shovel earth in the
ditch, and then clear the earth out. If it is limited by the topography, you can pull
the blade from one side, and make it inclining to one side of the grader. Then you
can drive the grader along the ditch, cut the earth in the ditch and later move out
the earth.
● 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
73
GR165/180/215/230D MOTOR GRADER USER’S MANUAL

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

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
77
GR165/180/215/230D MOTOR GRADER USER’S MANUAL

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 anti-freeze.

 Do not use the anti-freeze addition with methanol, ethanol and proper alcohol.
 Do not use any anti-leakage addition, regardless it is used along or together
with anti-freeze.
 Do not use mixed anti-freeze addition with different trademarks.
 When replacing the anti-freeze addition, please refer to explanations about the
proportion on the anti-freeze addition usage. Look the sign at the back of the
machine.
 When the temperature around drops, the capacity of battery may also drop. If
the charging ratio of battery is low, the electrolyte may be frozen. So try
keeping the charging ratio at 100% and preserving its heat, then the engine
may be easy to start in the next day only in this way.
 If the battery gets frozen, do not recharge it or start up the engine. What
should be done is to warm it up to 15°C . Otherwise, there will be a risk of
explosion.
 In the high-cold area, be sure to use cold-proof battery.
Instruction After Finishing Daily Work
To prevent the frozen mud, water or snow from affecting the engine starting
in the next day. Be sure to take up the following steps:
 Clean up the mud, water and snow on the machine completely to prevent the
frozen mud, water or snow in the sealed area from despairing the airproof
performance.
 Park the machine on the dry and solid ground. If it is impossible, park the
machine on the wood board. Using wood board may prevent the machine

78
GR165/180/215/230D MOTOR GRADER USER’S MANUAL

from freezing on the ground and may make it easy to start the machine in the
next day.
 Open the discharging valves, discharge water in the water tank, engine,
evaporator of air-conditioner and relative pipelines to prevent it from freezing.
 In the low temperature, with the dramatic decreasing of battery capacity, be
sure to cover the battery or move it to the warm area, and assemble it again for
the next day operation.
After Cold Weather
When season changes or it gets warm, be sure to take up the following
work:
All components now should use fuel, hydraulic oil and lubricant with half
viscosity. If you did not use permanent anti-freezing addition, be sure to discharge
all water in the radiating system, to wash the radiating system and to replace new
cooling water.
Working in closed jobsite
 If you have to work in an indoor or underground space or in an area with poor
ventilation facility for driving the machine, handling fuel, cleaning parts or
paints, it is necessary to open the window and the door, so as to ensure
sufficient ventilation and avoid gas poison. If there is still not sufficient
ventilation with the door and windows being open, then a ventilating fan
should be provided.
 It is necessary to equip the extinguisher and bear in mind its location and
using way before working in closed jobsite.
V. Operation And Maintenance for gearbox
Preparation Work and Maintenance before Driving
On the one hand, the oil in gearbox may be used as working medium
hydraulic system in torque converter and gearbox; on the other hand, it also my be
used as cooling and lubrication to the components in torque converter and
gearbox. The quantity and trademark of oil used in the gearbox should be added
according to regulations.
Before gearbox runs, add adequate lubricant with proper trademark. If it is the
79
GR165/180/215/230D MOTOR GRADER USER’S MANUAL

first time to oil the gearbox, be sure to take the oil consumption in radiator, filter
and pipelines into consideration. After oiling the machine for the first time, the
lubricant shall seep into every corner of the system. So, the first oil quantity
should be larger than next oiling quantity during maintenance.
After the torque converter and oil-radiator are fitted on the machine, the oil
can flow back to the bottom of gearbox through pipeline. So when the machine
stops work and the engine is still running at a low speed, in order to keep the
gearbox in balanced temperature required for regular work, be sure to control the
oil level in the gearbox.
When checking the oil level, be careful about safety. For example: Must
place the machine on the flat ground, put gear-shifting handle on neutral and
lock it, put hand-brake switch on "Off" position to prevent machine from
moving.
During checking the oil level, when the oil temperature is 80 ° C, the oil
level in the gearbox must reach the highest line on the dipstick scale ; when the oil
temperature is up to 40°C the oil level in the gearbox must reach the lowest
line on the dipstick scale. During this process, try inserting the dipstick into the oil
pipe until it cannot insert further anymore.
When cleaning the oil filter in the main oil pipeline, do not let the
contaminated remains and grease、 enter the pipeline. Besides, be sure to place a
cover to prevent the oil from entering the parking brake.
When fitting the oil filter, do not apply too much strength.
Check oil position before traveling, it should be guaranteed to check once
daily.
Travel And Gear-Shifting
Before starting the engine, be sure to put the gear-shifting handle on neutral
position.
In view of safety, be sure the parking brake is in braking status, so the
machine couldn’t be start when start engine.
After starting the engine, press emergency and parking brake switch, choose
driving direction and corresponding gear, step on the accelerator pedal, then you

80
GR165/180/215/230D MOTOR GRADER USER’S MANUAL

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 temperature does not decrease, then it means that
81
GR165/180/215/230D MOTOR GRADER USER’S MANUAL

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.

a) Stepping transportation
1 The distance of stepping: commonly under 100 km
2 The distance of vehicle: between 30 m and 50 m.
3 During the long travling, the machine must be stoped for about 30
minutes after 40km (25mi) or 1 hour travling, in order to cool the tyres
and other parts.
b) Loading regulation:
1 Loading sizes: under 4.5 m from ground to the top of Grader.
2 Loading means: proper motion loading in normally case, suspending
loading in especially case.
 Proper motion loading:
The ground must be flat and have enough space about 10 m the back of
conveyance that can adjust Grader direction. After stopping conveyance, backing
tow truck. Grader step on conveyance, then brake, and fasten Grader to
conveyance.
 Suspending loading (fig. 12)
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

Abide to weight, width and length of transportation regulation.

Figure 15. Hint map for shipping

(1) Traction
● Take up the traction rod at rear mate-weight, pull on the rope for traction and
put down the traction rod to original position.
Pay attention to this when doing traction
1. Rope for traction must have been pulled on.
2. Be sure the braking system of vehicle being dragged is in gear; otherwise don’t
do this job.
3. If vehicle in trouble is dragged on the bad road. it will be farther destroyed.
4. It just applies for dragging vehicle in trouble to check point, not for far traction.

NOTE: loading and unloading carefully.


Don’t let anybody and vehicle enter the area under suspending
vehicle. Especially notice: please avoid destroying hydraulic tube
during transportation.

114
GR165/180/215/230D MOTOR GRADER USER’S MANUAL

5. When our product is in trouble, please consult local XCMG dealer for traction
process.
Not to drag the machine unless in exigency. Do process as follow when
dragging.
1. It needs to fill in blocks below wheels when braking system is on the fly. It will
prevent the machine from moving suddenly.
2. Put off hand brake when dragging, control the speed within 10km/h and
distance not over 10km. Try to drag the machine to nearest check point. You
should use export trailer if it need to move the grader for far way.
● Check whether the dragrope or traction rod is strong enough to support the
weight of vehicle being dragging. If the vehicle would pass mud or slope, it
need two dragrope and one traction rod that can support 1.5 multiple weight at
lease.
(2). Storage
Before Storing
If a grader needs to be stored for a long time, take the following steps:
 Clean thoroughly the machine, have it be dry and store it in dry storage house.
If the machine has to be stored under open air, then it should be stored on the
concrete ground where it is easy to drain off water, and cover it with canvas.
 Before storing it, fill up the fuel tank, add grease and change hydraulic oil.
 Coat thin grease on the piston that extends out from hydraulic cylinder.
 Dismount the negative pole of battery and close the battery box cover. Or
remove the battery from the machine and store it separately.
 If the air temperature falls down below 0°C, add anti-freezing addition into
cooling water of the radiator.
 Put on the security lock and then lock articulation locking-bar. After that
engage the parking brake.
During Storage
● Daily Parking
Park the grader on a place, with its blade resting on the ground horizontally.
Try your best to keep the grader inside a dry storage, and moisture must be
115
GR165/180/215/230D MOTOR GRADER USER’S MANUAL

avoided. If, because of condition


☆ Limitation, the machine has to be kept outside, a shelter cloth must be used to
cover it.
☆ Turn the ignition switch to "OFF" position, plug out the key and keep it in a
safe place.
☆ After the ignition key being plugged out. Operate slowly the control levers of
the working mechanism for 2 to 3 times, so as to release the remained
pressure inside the cylinders and hoses, and then leave them at their neutral
positions.
☆ Place the gear-shifting lever at neutral position, and the parking brake must be
engaged.
☆ Lock the front and rear frame with the lock bar.
☆ Lock all the parts that have locking key. Pull out the keys and keep them
safely.
☆ In winter or cold weather ( when the environmental temperature below 0°C ),
anti-freezing addition must be applied into the cooling water. Cooling water
must be drained out completely for those machines without anti-freezing
addition in the cooling system, so that the engine can be protected from being
cracked by ice.
● Long Time Storage
The storage period for the machine can be short-term and long-term. For
short-term, the storage period should not be over two months Over two months
must be taken as a long -term storage. The parking place for storage should be
sheltered, ventilated and dry and without any corrosive substances or gas. Before
storage, the exposed parts such as cylinder pistons and shaft should be greased for
anti-corrosion. And before long -term storage, the surfaces on the machine should
also be sprayed with wax to avoid being rusted.
Within one month:
Beside those mentioned in the Daily Parking, the following procedures must
be noted:
☆ Start and drive the machine every week, and operate its working mechanism

116
GR165/180/215/230D MOTOR GRADER USER’S MANUAL

to let it be ready for work at any time.


Over one month:
Except those mentioned in Daily Parking, the following procedures must
also be noted.
☆ Check all the oil levels and lubricating points to see if the oil being in the
level as required.
☆ Considering the raining season, try your best to park the machine on a hard
ground of a higher place.
☆ The battery must be removed.
Although the machine is stored indoor, if it is too hot or damp, the battery
must be dismounted to get it stored in a better place, and charge it once a week.
☆ Parts which moisture can easily get in (such as: ventilating device and air
filter) should be covered with a cloth.
☆ The inflation pressure of the tyres must be standard. Check the wear and
damage of the tyres.
In order to release the heavy load on the tyres, it is better to jack up the
machine to let it be in float state.
If the grader can't be jacked up, the inflation of the tyres must be checked
every two weeks to ensure the pressure.
☆ Restore the machine into ready-work condition each week. Start the engine
and let it warm up, and then move the machine back and forth a little bit. If
you thank it is necessary to activate the working mechanism, before you do it,
the grease on the cylinder rods must be cleaned away. And after such attempt,
apply grease to cylinder rods again.

Notes
In case the anti-rusting substance is used to avoid rust indoor, then
door and windows must be opened to keep poison gas away.

After a long Time Storage


 Move away all the protection coverings.
117
GR165/180/215/230D MOTOR GRADER USER’S MANUAL

 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.
