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

70
GR165/180/215/230D MOTOR GRADER USER’S MANUAL
Note:
When the grader moves to another work site,the scarifier should be made in
traveling position.
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.

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.

The gauge pointer must be kept over 1/10 scale.
● Discharging contaminated remains
Drain off water and contaminated remains inside the tank from the drainage
flange at the bottom. And then clean the fuel filling plug and fuel filter. Replace
the filter if it gets worn.
● Put the oil-suction pipe into oil container, and then switch on the oil-feeding
pump to fill in oil.
Filling Oil for gearbox
(1) Oil Variety
It is must to use specified oil for gearbox.
We recommend using SAE15W-40 lubricants with the quality lever not lower
than-API CD/CE/CF/SF/SG or-MIL-L-46152C/-D/-E.
(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.

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.
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.
(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 stopped or during the engine running, it is not
allowed to open the radiator housing. And it will be very dangerous if the
hot water splashing out.
(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.
