will be higher than 3 on
future machines)

Starting machine Move gear selector to desired gear which will be indicated on display and drive
away.Inching pedal can be used also in a manner similar to a mechanical clutch.
Most operators will find this to be a very natural operation.

Inching pedal Use when starting or stopping.Use for grader finishing work requiring “Creeper
gear” or very slow speeds.Use for very slow ground speed work to increase
engine speed for hydraulic performance (This should rarely be necessary
because of the wide range performance of the hydraulic system).WARNING: Do
not abruptly depress and release inching pedal to start a heavy load or free a
stuck machine.

Starting engine Transmission must be in neutral before engine can be started.

Down shifting Downshift one range at a time do not lug down the engine below 1700 RPM.
Watch tachometer. Power shift, do not use inching pedal.

Upshifting Upshift normally as speed, grade, and traction conditions permit. Power shift, do
not use inching pedal.

Shifting while descending During transport, while descending short, steep grades, the engine may be driven
steep grades from the ground by the wheels. In order to maintain a higher speed it could be
necessary to upshift to protect the engine while using brakes for retardation.
Normally the safe and recommended procedure is to descend slowly using a
lower gear together with the brakes, particularly for longer distances.

Shifting forward to reverse Operator can make these shifts as required by normal working conditions. The
and reverse to forward transmission will automatically select the appropriate gear in the opposite
direction and it has built in shock protection.

Parking brake Transmission will not engage a gear with park brake on.

Lugging engine down under Do not repeatedly depress and release inching pedal to force movement of
heavy blade or ripper load machine.

the system refrigerant pressure;
the operation of evaporator vent and fan unit;
the evaporator for obstructions.
4.Operate air conditioning unit for at least 10 minutes/week.
5. When the engine is at high rpm, operate fan at maximum
speed.
6. Periodically check the external cleanliness of the

OPERATION SUGGESTIONS RG140, RG170, RG200

Articulated motor graders can be operated with the The OFF-SET position permits the operator to maintain the
frame ARTICULATED OR OFF SET (CRAB). machine on firm ground, when working in ditches or drainage
ditches and reduce the number of passes necessary to
spread the material. This permits a better weight concentration,
behind the blade in severe operation conditions.

Although the grader permits the circle to turn 3600, most of


the grading operations are done with the blade between 150
and 450 in relation to the work direction.

Increasing the angle of the blade reduces the side movement


of the material cut by the blade. However this permits deeper
cuts and more "severe" grading.

The changes of the angle of attack, blade pitch is also very


important for productivity.

The blade with the involute "ROLL-AWAY" profile maintains


the capacity to roll material, with the top of the blade inclined
to the back.

Changing blade angle while cutting, generates side forces on


the machine. These forces should be compensated by leaning
the front wheels and/or articulating the frame in the direction
of the blade cutting forces.

The NON-ARTICULATED frame is normaly used for grading


large areas and for road maintenance and conservation.

With the frame ARTICULATED, the turning radius is reduced,


making machine control easier in restricted areas. In addition,
a more precise control of material spreading is permitted.

avoided by articulating the frame positioning the driving

GENERAL

Always check oil level and drain or fill all the reservoirs with
the machine on a flat ground.

The intervals specified here refer to normal operating


conditions. During the initial period of use (break-in) and
under severe working conditions, the servicing intervals
need to be shortened. Consult your New Holland Construction
dealer for more information.

Drain the engine oil immediately after shutting off the engine
so the oil is warm and flows more easily.

After refilling system at oil change intervals, the oil should


be checked only after engine has been run at low idle for a
few minutes. This procedure insures that the oil cooler,
filters, lines, etc., are completely full before the oil level check
is made.

A maintenance and lubrication chart decal is located on the


rear og the cab in the lower left corner.

Check tires only when machine is empty and tires are
cool to avoid under inflation. Do not use reworked
wheel parts. Improper welding, heating or brazing,
weakens them and can cause failure.
Always use an inflation cage, safety cables os chains
when removing tire lock rings or inflating deflated tires.
Always deflate tires before removing lock rings or
objects from tread, according to local or national
requirements.
Never begin to inflate a tapered bead tire unless bead
seat band is securely in place over the lock ring.
Improper inflation is a large contributor to tire
failures.Under inflation will cause damage to the cord body

43- Circle guides


Check and adjust

The circle and circle guides must be kept clean to


prevent caking. If the circle guides are excessively
loose, the gear teeth will wear, causing the circle turn
to function erratically.

Circle turn clearances


With the vertical clearance already adjusted, loosen the
circle guide nuts and the jam nuts of radial clearance
adjusting screws.
Position the circle turn motor pinion in such a way that
the tooth engagement is as shown below.
Make sure that the center of the circle turn motor pinion,
center line of the engaged tooth and the front guide
center locknut are aligned.

WEAR PLATE ADJUSTMENT Put one flank of the pinion tooth in contact with one circle
tooth. Turn adjusting screws of front guide as necessary to
Proceed as follows: provide 0.76 mm (0.3 in) between the opposite flanks of the
circle and pinion tooth.
The first adjustment is to eliminate play between the upper
wear plates and the upper circle guides (vertical clearance).

To make this adjustment, shims between wear plates and the


upper circle surface must be removed.

NOTE: Do not throw-away the shims that were removed.


They can be used again in other new adjustment.

Make sure that the maximum clearance does not exceed 1.52
mm (0.6 in). This adjustment must be completed on each of
the four (4) guides, one at a time, beginning with one closest
to the circle turn motor pinion gear.
