3. Structural characteristics and working principles
3.1 Diesel
This series grader, Diesel Engine manufactured under Cummins.
3.2 Braking System
The braking system inside this grader consists of the service braking system (the pedal
brake) and the parking braking system (the hand brake). The emergency braking system
shall co-work with parking braking system. See attached graph 2 to understand the
working principles.

which is used by both working and steering. If the steering system is out of work, all the
hydraulic oil is supplied to working hydraulic system only.
3.3.1 Working Hydraulic System
This system is a dual pump, dual loop system, consists of oil tank, a dual gear pump, two
splited five linked multi-way valve, hydraulic tank for working equipment, motors, pipes and
joints. The oil flow of the two loops is at the same amount. When all the operating valve
stay at the median, then the left operating valve’s oil supply comes from one loop, and the
right operating valve’s oil supply from the other. The lifting tanks of the left and right are
supplied by two loops with same flow. Thus, the two lifting tanks can move at same speed
at the same time. In this way, it improves the performance of the grader. System pressure
is under the control of pressure valve of multi-way valve, which is set at 18 Mpa.
Working principle:
First circuit: During the idle state of steering system, the oil sourced from the twin pump
will enter into the multi-way valve through the priority valve of the hydraulic steering
system, then return to the oil tank through oil conduit.
Second circuit: The oil sourced from the twin pump enters into the multi-way valve and
then return to the oil tank through oil conduit.
Five-connection multi-way valve is the “5000 Type” directional valve with the slide valve
function of “O” type and is manufactured by American HUSCO Company. Its neutral
position is normally released, in this way the hydraulic oil can flow inside the internal
conduit of the valve and through the oil returning conduit then back to the oil tank. When
the operating lever is under operation, the hydraulic oil will burst out of the one-way valve,
whose function is to prevent the oil in the working device from counterflowing into the oil
tank to safeguard the normal operation of hydraulic system, and enter into the
corresponding hydraulic cylinder or hydraulic motor. The two-way hydraulic lock, which is
installed on the inclined positions of the bulldozer blade, front wheel, and on the two lifting
oil circuits of the two bulldozer blades, is able to free the components from relocation due
to their own weights. In this way the driving safety and the operation precision of bulldozer
blade are warranted. The two-way hydraulic lock fitted on the lifting oil cylinder of the
bulldozer blade also lays a one-way throttle valve, which is to ensure the stability of
descending of bulldozer blade, in the oil conduit of the rod end chamber.
The rotation of bulldozer blade is effected by the re-driving rotary gear ring of the driving
worm gear case in hydraulic motor. The BM30-100 cycloidal hydraulic motor applies the
valve plate distribution to enable the automatic compensation to the abrasion on the
distribution surface, so as to place the motor in a sustainable and efficient operation
condition, which saves the energy in a major scale.

3.3.2 Steering Hydraulic System
The steering system of the front wheel applies the load-sensing all-hydraulic steering
device, which consists of gear pump, priority valve, load-sensing all-hydraulic steering gear.
The advantage of the load-sensing all-hydraulic steering system lies in its ability of
prioritizing the distribution of hydraulic power to steering oil circuit as required and assuring
the adequate oil supply to the steering system no matter what kind of change of the load
pressure and the wheel steering rate occur. Therefore, stable and reliable steering can be
procured. Apart from the oil flow needed by steering oil circuit to maintain its normal
operation, the other oil outlet from the oil pump may be completely supplied to the working
oil circuit. In this way the power waste caused by the exceeding supply to the steering
circuit may be eliminated and the efficiency of the system may be improved.
3.4 Working Device
The working device of this grader is composed of traction frame, rotary ring, bulldozer
blade and angle position device, etc.

4.7 Driving of the Machine
4.7.1 Preparation for Work
Start diesel engine.
Inspect and see if each meter can indicate normally.
Inspect brake indicator, horn and release manual brake.
On the basis of road condition, begin from gear I, and choose suitable gear.
Step on accelerator pedal, then the leveler to move.
4.7.2 Gear Shift
Gear shift should be conducted in sequence.
Applicable scope of gear shift:
Gear I and II: Operation, climbing, uneven road.
Gear III: Operation in a state of light load, climbing light slope.
Gear IV, V, and VI: Flat road, high-speed traveling.
4.7.3 Operation
(1) Leveling Operation
Leveling operation is used for road construction, roadway trimming, site leveling,
trench backfilling or pavement distribution, etc.
When filling trench, shovel blade should extend laterally to the trench side, discharge
soil into trench, and at the same time ensure the safety of traveling. While reversing,
turn the blade 180 degree prior to reversing so as to improve efficiency. While
leveling or paving sand or stone materials, at the last stage of shoveling, adjust
shovel blade perpendicular to its longitudinal axis, move forwards in gear I, adjust
properly the height of the blade, slightly cut soil, bulldoze most of the shoveled soil
15
forwards, and leave small amount of the soil at either side. Lower the blade to
ground, residual soil can be totally distributed by leveler in a high speed. While
working on a curve, operator should travel towards a precise direction or use
full-wheel steering mode, and work flexibly.
(2) Trench Digging
Trench digging is applied for the digging of side ditch of a road and
discharging channel of a yard. While digging, generally incline shovel blade, and use
one side of the blade to work. Digging includes three stages, namely marking,
deepening, and trimming. Clear off obstruction prior to digging, and roughly level the
site. If necessary, loosen the soil to mark the central line of the trench.
(3) Slope trimming
This operation is mainly used to trim slope of 25°~70°and 3-4m height. Prior
to the operation, the shovel blade should be adjusted to one side of the leveler
through inclination methods, then let blade top stay forwards, travel in gear I, and
lower the blade to conduct shoveling. During work, adjust the height of slope
trimming through running circle or shovel blade, and adjust the gradient of slope
trimming through lifting shovel blade. In order to improve the stability of the operation,
incline frontal wheels towards the lateral slope.
Warning!
* High speed must not be used while traveling on uneven road.
* Urgent acceleration or deceleration is banned in any case.
16
Warning! Wheels should be wedged when parking on a slope.
4.7.6 Towing
Gear lever should be put in neutral position while towed. Run the engine if
possible, then auxiliary devices of steering and brake can still work. If leveler is
towed by steel cable, between towing vehicle and leveler should be clear of people.
4.8 Air Conditioner Use
4.8.1 Refrigeration
a. Start engine;
b. Control wind switch of air conditioner to start blower, increasingly improve
rotation speed of evaporator blower from left to right, and wind rate is adjustable.
c. Turn on air conditioner, and adjust to the coolest, then indicator shall be on,
after that adjust to turn off the indicator;
d. Adjust switch and wind switch according to the demands of driver.
4.8.2 Heating (optional parts)
Start engine and last for ten minutes, after water temperature goes up, and
adjust wind knob, then warm wind can come out.
4.9 Following advice is given for the use of leveler:
a. Hinged steering can considerably reduce turning radius, and let leveler
conduct foregoing operation more flexibly, this leveler can travel like a crab, and this
can allow the blade extend beyond rear wheels, thus rear wheels can avoid to travel
on leveled ground, and hinged steering also let leveler have self recovery capability
in case of difficulty.
b. One dominant factor for leveler to have the best efficiency is to choose right
turning angle and shoveling angle, and we advise to adopt relatively big turning
angle so as to improve shoveling force of each centimeter of working length. During
shoveling, small shoveling angle can reduce cut resistance, and big one can
enhance leveling precision.
c. Front wheels should incline towards the direction of material discharging,
while working on a slope, front wheels should stay vertical so as to get a better
adhesive force through inclining front wheels.
d. Since exhaust gas of engine is not treated specially, it is not a good choice
for a leveler to work underground or in an environment without good ventilation.
e. In order to avoid insufficient engine lubrication, work slope of the leveler
can not go beyond following value, since engine can be in danger due to bad
lubrication.
17
transverse slope longitudinal slope
Allowable angle 20 degree for left and 25 degree for forward and
right respectively backward respectively

on motor grader’s tires.
C. In case that motor grader is placed in open air or on uneven ground,
wood sleeper should be placed beneath motor grader to lighten tire load-bearing and
tire pressure have to reduce 50%, then all tires should be shielded to avoid any
exposure of direct sunshine.
D. Full oil should be filled in fuel tank, combined with sanitizer in a quantity of
10% of the oil volume (if applicable) to avoid any corrosion.
E. Regular operation should be carried out on an interval of two weeks to warm
up motor grader and, if applicable, it should be driven for a short-distance. For the
warm-up of motor grader standing on wood sleeper, gear drive can be motivated to
activate operation of the system.
F. If motor grader has an idle time for more than 4 weeks, its battery should be
removed and kept in a dry place where the temperature is higher than 0 and a
monthly charge is required.
5.7.2 Restart-up for operation
In the case where the motor grader is restart-up for operation after a year, its gear box,
rear axle drive box, balancing tank, shovel rotary worm gear case should be lubricated with
new oil and hydraulic oil and engine oil should be replaced as well.
Piston rods should go through an overall cleaning and every oil lubricator must be refilled
with grease oil.

6. Analysis on Common Failures and Corresponding Debugging
During the usage on the grader, by virtue to the defects in the performance and
production precision of this machine, which are combined by the hostile
environmental factors, it’s common to stumble on some failures, whose prompt
elimination is the only way to improve the efficiency and utilization ratio of the grader,
to elevate its economic efficiency as well. The subsequent forms tell us about the
diagnosis and corresponding debugging of the grader’s common failures
