Do not allow unauthorized persons into
the work area as shown in Figure 1-15.

In dangerous places, 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
operation fatigue.
The machine should always be operated
at the speed where it can be controlled.
BG825

FIGURE 1-15. DONT ALLOW


UNAUTHORISED ENTRY
A9

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.
The machine condition can be judged
from many factors. Changes in the
gauges, sound, vibration, exhaust gas
color or response of the control levers can
indicate the occurrence of some disorder.
If any disorder occurs, park the machine
immediately in a safe place to take
appropriate action. Be especially careful in
the case of a fuel leak as there is danger
of fire.

Never leave the operator's seat without


switching the engine off as shown in
Figure 1-17.
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 limits of bridges before
crossing otherwise it will lead to accidents
as shown in Figure 1-18.

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 as shown in Figure 1-16.

FIGURE 1-18. CHECK LOAD LIMIT OF


THE BRIDGES BEFORE CROSSING
FIGURE 1-16. USE SUITABLE
APPARATUS FOR TOWING THE M/C
When parking the machine after
discontinuing work, put the gear shift lever
into "Neutral" apply the brake lock, lower
the blade and scarifier (option) to the
ground, and put all safety levers into the
"LOCK" position.

When operating on uneven ground, drive


at as low speed as possible and avoid
sudden changes in direction.
When operating at the edge of a cliff or at
the shoulder of a road, remember the
following points:
When operating in a place where there is
danger of the machine falling over the
side, be doubly careful. Do not approach
the edge of the cliff or road shoulder by
mistake.

FIGURE 1-17. PROPER PARKING OF


THE M/C
BG825

When working on river embankments


or other places made of piled soil,
there is 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.

A10

When operating on slopes, remember


the following points :

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 service brake as well. Never
coast down a slope with gear shift
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 or down a slope,


select a travel speed most suited to
the slope. Do not change gear on the
slope.

If the engine stalls on a slope, first use


the brake to stop the machine, and
then return the gear shift lever to
"Neutral" before staring the engine
again. See the Figure 1-19. While
operating in the slope.

FIGURE 1-19. OPERATING IN SLOPE


When using the articulation system, be
particularly careful not to let the blade
damage the rear tire. (In articulate frame
model):
Operating articulation system when
traveling at high speed may cause the
machine to overturn. Always perform this
operation at the speed below 10 km/hr. (In
articulate frame model).
Always observe the traffic regulations and
leave margin for emergencies.
When operating in a city area, be sure to
locate underground pipes and cables
before starting the machine to prevent
them from being broken.
When operating inside a building always
be sure of the clearance of the ceiling,
entrances, aisles, etc. and the load limit of
the floor else it will lead to accidents as
shown in the Figure 1-20.

BG825

A11

working equipment is a far more


effective way of stopping.
Operating in snow should be done
carefully as shown in the Figure 1-21.

FIGURE 1-20. OPERATING INSIDE


BUILDING
Never allow other person than the
operator to ride on the machine during
operation.
When passing through a narrow space, be
careful of the side and overhead
clearances. Take special care not to touch
any obstacles on either side or overhead.
If necessary, have someone outside the
machine call out instructions.
When operating at night, remember the
following points:

Be sure to arrange an adequate


lighting system.

At night it is very easy to make


mistakes in assuming the distance and
height of objects and land.

When operating in fog, mist or smoke,


where visibility is bad, be careful to
confirm first whether operation is safe.
When visibility drops below safety level,
stop work and wait for the visibility to
improve.

FIGURE 1-21. OPERATING IN SNOW


During operation, use seat belt .

1.8.

PARKING

When parking the machine, park it in a


safe place outside the working area, or in
the specified place as shown in the Figure
1-22. The following factors should be
considered when choosing a parking
place: it should be on flat, firm ground
where there is no danger of rock falls,
landslides or floods. If the machine has to
be parked on the slope, it should be
parked facing directly up or down the
slope and chocks should be placed under
the tires. When the machine is facing
downhill, lower the blade so that it cuts
slightly into the ground to further increase
the safety.
When parking the machine, return the
gear shift lever to "Neutral", apply the
brake lock, lower the blade the scarifier
(option) to the ground, and put all safety
levers in the "LOCK" position. Switch off
the engine and remove the key.

When operating in snow, or cleaning


snow, remember the following points:

Even sight slopes can cause expected


side slipping, so in such places,
operate with extreme caution.

Never use the service brake to stop


suddenly on slopes. Lowering the

PRECAUTIONS FOR WELDING ON MACHINES WITH ELECTRONIC CONTROLS

As with all machines with Electronic


Controls, special care should be taken
when welding on the machine. Here are
some tips to keep in mind when
performing welding on the Dump truck and
Motor Graders. For additional details,
review the Operation and Maintenance
Manual.
General Warnings & Tips

Always
wear
proper
personal
protective equipment
.
Before welding around electronics,
Remove the electronics in that area to
reduce or eliminate heat damage
caused by the welding process.
Remove the controller unit if welding is
to be done within 10 of it.

Lock-out and Tag-out the machine.

Clamp the ground cable from the


welder to the component that will be
welded and place the clamp as close
to the weld as possible. Attach the
welder ground cable no more than 2
feet from the part being welded. If
grounding cable is connected near
instruments, connectors, etc., the
instruments may malfunction.

Do not weld in wet areas or in the


rain.

Always weld in a well ventilated


area.

Keep your work area clear of


anything flammable

Do not use cables that are frayed,


cracked or have bare spots in the
insulation

Never connect the ground cable of


the welder to the ECM. Welding on
the engine or engine mounted
components is not recommended.

Do not apply more than 200 V


continuously.

Always avoid laying welding cables


over or near the vehicle electrical
harnesses. Welding voltage could
be induced into the electrical
harness and possibly cause
damage to components.

Always fasten the welding machine


ground (-) lead to the piece being
welded.

Do not use electrical components


(ECM or ECM Sensors) or electrical
component grounding points for
grounding the welder.

BG825

A23

Welding instructions:
a)

Turn off the Ignition switch.

b)

Turn off Battery disconnect switch

c) Remove Both positive(+) and the


negative (-) terminal of the battery to
stop the flow of current when carrying
out electrical welding.
d) Before welding on truck, be certain
that each of these components are
completely disconnected:

Transmission and brake controllers

Engine ECM

Batteries

e) Cover all electronic controllers for


protection from sparks.
f)

Engine must never be used as a


grounding point.

g) Ensure the connection of automatic


CAN grounding circuits for protection
of CAN bus lines. If it is not
connected/provided, all CAN bus lines
are to be disconnected from the
controller (Engine, transmission, Brake
and Murphy modules) and Murphy
display units.
Jump Starting and Battery Charging

Do not connect the jumper starting or


battery charging cables to any part of
the Engine / Transmission / other
ECMS.

When using jumper cables to start


engine, make sure to connect
cables in parallel: Positive (+)
positive (+) and negative (-)
negative (-).

When using an external electrical


source to start the engine, turn the
disconnect switch to the OFF
position before connecting the cables
to the battery.

BG825

the
the
to
to

Do not exceed 36 volts. Remove


the key from the key switch before
attaching jumper cables to the
battery.

When jump starting, make sure


you choose the right size of cable
for vehicle. Always connect
positive cable first and negative
cable last. Disconnect the negative
cable first and reconnect it last.

Handling controller
1) The
controller
contains
a
microcomputer
and
electronic
control circuits. These control all of
the electronic circuits on the
machine, so be extremely careful
when handling the controller.
2) Do not place objects on top of the
controller.
3) Cover the control connectors with
tape or a vinyl bag. Never touch
the connector contacts with your
hand.
4) During rainy weather, do not leave
the controller in a place where it is
exposed to rain.
5) Do not place the controller on oil,
water, or soil, or in any hot place,
even for a short time. (Place it on a
suitable dry stand).
6) Precautions when carrying out arc
welding when carrying out arc
welding on the body disconnect all
wiring
harness
connectors
connected to the controller. Fit an
arc welding ground close to the
welding point.

A24

Points
to
remember
troubleshooting electric circuits

when

1) Always turn the power OFF before


disconnecting
or
connecting
connectors.
2) Before carrying out troubleshooting,
check that all the related connectors
are properly inserted. Disconnect and
connect the related connectors several
times to check
3)

Always connect any disconnected


connectors before going on to the next
step. If the power is turned ON with
the connectors still disconnected,
unnecessary
abnormality
displays/error codes will be generated.

4) When carrying out troubleshooting of


circuits (measuring the voltage,
resistance, continuity, or current),
move
the
related
wiring
and
connectors several times and check
that there is no change in the reading
of the tester. If there is any change,
there is probably defective contact in
that circuit.

EMERGENCY STEERING SYSTEM ON MOTOR GRADER

The emergency steering system is


supplementary steering system, to operate
the steering system in case of failure /
malfunctioning of steering pump / Engine
while equipment is in moving condition.
The emergency steering system is
consists of electrically operated DC motor
to drive the pump to provide the required
flow to steering system.
Manually operated Emergency steering
system :
The operator has to press the switch to
operate Motor and pump incase of failure
of steering system.
A switch mounted on the console next to
the operator can be used to activate the
emergency steering system if necessary
to steer the equipment when the engine is
not operable.
Note: Use of the emergency steering
system should be limited to a
maximum of 90 seconds.

The manual steering system intent to use


in case of failure of main steering system
to move the equipment to safer side. The
system should not be operated more than
90 seconds. The continuous operation of
emergency steering Motor leads to failure
of Motor and Pump.
In order to avoid the Motor failure due to
inadvertent operations, ON-Delay timer is
being provided to cut-off power to Motor
after 90 seconds, details are as follows.
On-Delay Timer: The On-Delay timer is
allows the Motor to operate for 90
Seconds and switch off the motor after
specified time. If operator wants to operate
the Motor for More than 90 seconds, the
Steering switch mounted on the dash
board to be operated once again.
The emergency steering system is a
safety system. The system should be
checked daily to ensure the proper
functioning of system. The procedure for
checking emergency steering system is
explained below.

Emergency steering system of BG825 Motor grader is shown in the Figure 3.10.a below.

Preventive Maintenance Procedures:

Corrosion, dirt, and dust:

The object of preventive maintenance is to


identify and correct potential problems
before they occur.

The Motor operates less efficiently when


corrosion forms or dirt particles build up
around wire and cable connection points.
Corroded and dirty connection points
impair the flow of electrical current. Clean
all connections on a periodic basis.

Wires and cables:


For any type of vehicle electrical system,
its important to keep all connection Points
clean. Road dirt and grease create
resistance that interferes with electrical
current flow. In order to get the necessary
power from a unit , there must be little or
no resistance between the batteries and
the motor. In the same vein, you need to
make sure that wires and cables are
clean, properly tightened, and of the
proper size. Any loss of current due to
poor connections will reduce power to
motor.

Timely preventive maintenance of the


system provides smoother operation and
long life for Motor and pump components.

Clean all connections on a periodic basis.


Also check for tension on terminals due to
improper routing.
Battery :
A battery having a low / poor state of
charge will place abnormal stresses on
the system. When measuring battery
voltage, make sure voltage is 24 V or
greater.
Excessive heat:
A motor can become damaged if it
operates too long at high temperatures.
Excessive heat is generally due to
continuous engagement of the Motor.
Damage to Motor system components can
occur when the motor is operated for long
periods. Motor should not be operated for
more than 90 seconds and allow Motor to
cool down for 3 minutes after operation.

STARTING MOTOR TROUBLE SHOOTING

SYSTEM
The heavy-duty electrical system is made
up of the starting system and the charging
system. These systems are, in turn,
comprised of batteries, the starter, the
alternator, the interconnecting wiring and
electrical and mechanical switches. For
maximum operating efficiency, all parts of
the system must be functioning properly.
DIAGNOSIS:
Diagnosis is the three part process that
begins when a problem is perceived and
ends when the equipment is confirmed as
serviceable. The process can be
described by using three questions that
must be answered to assure completion.

What are the symptoms? This is what


has been observed (seen, heard, felt
or smelled) that indicates a problem.
What caused the symptoms? This
involves using diagnostic procedures
to identify the root cause of the
problem.
How do we fix it? Usually this involves
the adjustment, repair or replacement
of some part or parts.
The Circuit connection for starting motor
with Alternator is shown in the Figure 3.11
below.

FIGURE 3.11 STARTING MOTOR TROUBLE SHOOTING

BG825

3.12.

ALTERNATOR WIRING TEST

This procedure is the first step in checking


out the charging system. The output of the
alternator, the batteries and the accessory
loads with a minimum of voltage loss. Any
loss slows the rate of charge to the
batteries and could cause the batteries to
be partially discharged. Discharged
batteries can result in starter damage. Low
output voltage can cause improper
performance of other vehicle electrical
components.
MAGNETIC
TEST

SWITCH

CONTACTOR

The figure for Magnetic Switch Contactor


test is shown below.(Figure 3.12.)

Test
1. Push starter button with key on. Voltage
will read zero.
2. Turn on and adjust carbon pile to 100
amp load (60 amp if 24 volt system).
3. Read and record voltage (V11) across
magnetic switch on voltmeter then release
starter button.
4. Magnetic switch contactor voltage loss
(V11) shall not exceed 0.2 volts for 12 or
24 volt system.
5. Replace magnetic switch if contactor
voltage loss is excessive.

3.13.

BATTERIES

Batteries are perishable devices that wear


out at some point in time. With use they
deteriorate and eventually become
incapable of performing their important
job. In addition, new, good batteries may
become discharged for various reasons.
Neither worn out nor discharged batteries
can supply the power necessary for
cranking. Thus the battery check becomes
the starting point for diagnosing electrical
system problems.

FIGURE 3.12. MAGNETIC SWITCH


CONTACTOR
With carbon pile connected as for previous
Starter Solenoid Circuit Test, proceed as
follows:
Connect

Because
of
vibration,
corrosion,
temperature changes or damage, the
performance of wiring, connections, and
secondary components as well as the
function of the starter and alternator can
deteriorate. This in turn can cause
malfunctions within the starting and
charging systems. For the purpose of
testing, wiring and components are broken
down into four circuits that must be tested.

1. Digital voltmeter set on low scale


across large terminals of magnetic
switch. Battery voltage will show
immediately.
BG825

A37

Cranking Circuit

3.14.

This consists of the large cables that carry


the high starter current. Excessive loss
here causes slow cranking speeds,
especially in cold weather. Inability to start
from slow cranking can lead to starter
burn-up if the starter is cranked over 30
seconds. Deeply discharged or worn-out
batteries can also cause the same
problem.

When handling a battery, the following


safety precautions should be followed

Solenoid Circuit.

Battery fluid is highly acidic.

This consists of the wiring from the battery,


through a push button or magnetic switch,
to the S terminal of the starter solenoid,
and back to the battery. Excessive loss
here can cause the solenoid to shift in and
out (chatter) resulting in a no start
condition. This can cause a burned
contact disc and terminals of the starter
solenoid. Deeply discharged batteries can
also cause this problem.

Avoid spilling on clothing or other fabric.


Any spilled electrolyte should be flushed
with large quantity of water and cleaned
immediately.

Magnetic Switch Circuit


(When Magnetic Switch Used). This is
made up of the wiring from the battery
through a key switch and/or start button to
the coil of the magnetic switch and back to
the battery. Excessive loss here can
cause a no start complaint.
Charging Circuit.
This consists of the wiring between the
alternator and the battery and back to the
alternator. Excessive loss here can cause
the batteries to not charge properly. As
noted above, discharged batteries will
cause other problems.

CARE OF THE BATTERY

Hydrogen gas is produced by the


battery.
A flame or spark near the battery may
cause the gas to ignite.

To remove or replace a battery, always


disconnect the cable first, then the positive
cable. After installing battery, connect
battery cables and make sure to properly
tighten all terminals.
Keep the battery cable connections
clean.
The cable connections, particularly at the
positive (+) terminal post, tend to become
corroded. The product of corrosion, or
rust, on the mating faces of conductors
resists the flow of current. The inability of
the starter motor to crank the engine is
often due to the rust formation in the
battery cable connection. Clean the
terminals and fittings periodically to ensure
good metal-to-metal contact, and grease
the connections after each cleaning to
protect them against rusting.
Be always in the know as to state of
charge of the battery.
The simplest way to tell the state of
charge is to carry out a hydrometer test.
The hydrometer is an inexpensive
instrument for measuring the specific
gravity (S.G.) of the battery electrolyte.

BG825

A38

Why measure the S.G.?


Because the S.G. of the electrolyte is
indicative of the state of the charge. The
direct method of checking the battery for
state of charge is to carry out a high rate
discharged test, which involves a special
precise
voltmeter,
an
expensive
instrument used generally in the service
shops but no recommendable to the user
of the machine. At 20 degree centigrade of
battery
temperature
(electrolyte
temperature).

The battery is in FULLY CHARGED


STATE
if the electrolyte S.G. is 1.280.

The battery is in HALF CHARGED


STATE
if the S.G. is 1.220.

The
battery
is
in
DISCHARGED STATE

NEARLY

if the S.G. is 1.150 and is in danger of


freezing.
The following information is basic in nature
and is nothing new; it is merely a
reiteration of what every service shop
personnel knows about the automotive
storage battery. The information is
intended to serve as a reminder to the
reader, with a hope that he will, in turn,
reminded each final user of the important
basic facts about the battery whenever
opportunity permits him to engage in a
conversation with the final user in the shop
or out of the shop.

The battery is a very reliable


component, but needs periodical
attentions. Keep the battery container
clean; prevent rust formation on the
terminal posts; keep the electrolyte up
to the upper level uniformly in all cells;
and try to keep the battery fully
charged at all times.

BG825

Preserve the capacity of the battery.


There is a limit to the ability of the
battery to hold electricity is store. This
limit is called capacity.

WAYS FOR THE BATTERY TO LOWER


IT'S CAPACITY
Loss of electrolyte, or fall in electrolyte
level.
When this happens, the battery cannot
hold so much electricity as it originally
could. Handle the battery with care when
you take it down. Barring the loss of
electrolyte by careless spilling or
otherwise, the electrolyte level goes down
gradually in the battery at work because
the water content of it evaporates.
Periodically refill distilled water to each
cell, as necessary, so that the electrolyte
is always up to the specified level. Never
allow its surface to fall so much as to
expose the cell plates.
Overcharging the battery in place or off
the machine.
In recharging the battery off the machine,
caution must be exercised so as not to
overcharge it. Over charging give rise to
several complexities. For one thing, it
heats up the battery to deform the battery
container to result in a destroyed battery.
Overcharging could occur in a battery in
place if the voltage regulator is in mal
condition to allow the alternator (or
dynamo in other machines) to develop too
high an output voltage. For another thing,
gassing occurs in a battery being
overcharged to result in a loss of water
content. One of the most serious
consequences of overcharging is the
swelling of positive-plate grids, causing
the grids to crumble and the plates to
buckle.

A39

Undercharging the battery in place.


Regulator malfunctioning is usually the
cause of the battery remaining in a state of
charge far below its capacity. This
condition is very undesirable in freezing
weather, for the electrolyte in such a
battery can easily freeze up to result in a
destroyed
battery.
Moreover,
an
undercharged battery is an easy prey to a
greater evil sulfation.
Sulfation
Let us recall the electrochemical reactions
that take place in the battery during
charging and discharging. As the battery
gives out its energy (discharging), the
active materials in its cell plates are
converted into lead sulfate.
During recharging, this lead sulfate is
reconverted into active material. If the
battery is allowed to stand for a long
period in discharged condition, the lead
sulphate becomes converted into a hard,
crystalline substance, which will not easily
turn back to the active material again
during
the
subsequent
recharging.
Sulfation means the result as well as the
process of that reaction. Such a battery
can be revived by very slow charging and
may be restored to usable condition but it
is a damaged battery and its capacity is
lower than before.
3.15.

BATTERY AND CHARGING


SYSTEM

Located on the battery box, this warning


decal (WA 3101) stresses the need to
keep all spark producing materials away
from the battery. When another battery or
24V DC power source is used for a jump
start, all switches must be off prior to
making
any
connections.
When
connecting jumper cables, maintain
correct polarity, connect positive posts
together and then connect the negative
lead of the jumper cable to a good frame
ground.
BG825

Do not connect the negative posts of


the vehicle batteries.
This hook up completes the circuit but
minimizes the danger of sparks near the
batteries.
Sulphuric acid is toxic and corrosive, use
proper safety gear - goggles, rubber glove
and rubber gloves when handling and
servicing batteries.
If sulphuric acid is spilled on the skin,
immediately flush the area with large
amount of running water for at least 15
minutes, and get medical attention at
once.
Counteract swallowing of acid by drinking
large amount of water or milk, followed
with mild of magnesia, beaten eggs or
vegetable oil. Get medical care promptly.
3.16.

SERVICING BATTERY

Proper servicing will increase the life of


the batteries. Checking electrolyte level
and cleaning are the two most important
items in servicing.
Service the electrolyte level with distilled
water or water approved by the
manufacturer. Hard water will cause
mineral deposits on the cell plates and
decrease battery life. Add water until the
top of the plates are covered. Over filling
will weaken the battery electrolyte and
cause corrosion of battery connections.
Batteries can be cleaned by using soda
solution or ammonia, and rinsing with
clear water.
The decal for battery is pasted on the
vehicle as follows:

When washing batteries, make sure


that cell caps are tight to prevent
cleaning solution from entering the
cells.
A40

When installing the batteries, check all the


connections for corrosion. If corrosion is
present, clean the terminal or clamp and
apply coating of petroleum jelly to prevent
further corrosion.
3.17.

RECHARGING BATTERIES

LEAD ACID BATTERIES


(RE-CHARGING)
1. Prior to operating battery charger,
make sure that leads are connected to
the corresponding terminals.
2. In case if the voltage is low or shelf life
is more than 60 day, then subject the
battery for refresh charging with the
help of battery charger @ 16
Volt/battery and 10% (1/10) rated
capacity of battery (AH) Charging
current . Example: for 100 Ah battery
charging voltage will be 16 Volts and
charging current will be 10% of AH- 10
Amps.

NOTE: During charging process


vent caps should be kept open for
venting and premises should be
properly ventilated.
3. A battery is consider fully charge when
its CCV (Closed circuit voltage)
reached 15.6 to 16.00 Volts and
Specific
gravity
of
electrolyte
measuring 1.250 (0.005).
4. All the cells of battery should gas
freely and three hourly consequently
reading shows constant reading of
voltage and specific gravity.
5. Make sure the charging system of the
equipment to which battery is fitted
deliver required charging voltage (15
Volts-CCV) and charging current of
10% rated capacity of battery AH.
BG825

6. Continue charging till


a) The battery voltage reaches about
15.8 to 16.6 volts.
b) All the cells are gassing freely.
c) The voltage and specific gravity
readings remain constant for 3
consecutive hours.
Once the battery has been fully
recharged, the specific gravity of the
electrolyte should be 1.250 + 0.005 @
27 Deg. C.
7. If the specific gravity is lower than that
specified above, adjustment should be
made by removing the requisite
quantity of acid form the cell and
replacing with acid of 1.300 specific
gravity. If the specific gravity is higher
that the specified value, requisite
quantity of acid should be removed
and replaced with distilled water. The
battery should then be given a charge
of 2 to 3 hours to allow the electrolyte
to mix thoroughly. This adjustment
should be done only in a cell which
gasses freely on charge.
8. Once the battery is fully recharged and
the specific gravity adjusted, switch off
the charger. Fix the vent plugs tight
and wash the battery with plenty of tap
water. Wipe the battery with clean
cotton waste and smear the terminals
with petroleum jelly/Vaseline.
9. In case the battery has been subject to
a very deep discharge (specific gravity
absolutely zero), then the battery
should be drained completely and
filled with electrolyte of 1.150 specific
gravity it should then be charged at
50% of the recommended charging
current for 3 to 4 days and then
increased to 100% charging should be
continued till the conditions as per
point no. 2 above are met. The specific
A41

gravity will be above 1.250 and this


should be adjusted to 1.250.
10. It should be ensured that the
electrolyte temperature does not
exceed 50 Deg C during charging at
which time charging should be
discontinued and temperature allowed
to drop to 40 Deg C.

NOTE : The time of recharge


is solely dependent on State of Charge
and State of Health of battery.

DO Not Smoke or allow open flame


around a battery or during re-charging!

DO Not attempt to charge a frozen


battery, Serious Injuries may occur!

Precaution during Charging


1. Use Rubber gloves while handling
sulphuric acid.
2. On body contact with acid, use water
generously and contact a physician if
necessary.
3. Keep
constant
watch
on
the
temperature of electrolyte and reduce
charging current if
temperature
crosses 50C.
Prior to operating battery charger, make
sure that leads are connected to the
corresponding terminals, and remove cell
caps to dissipate any gas accumulation.
The battery charging system process can
be monitored by checking specific gravity.
To check specific gravity level of a cell,
use Hydrometer.
Specific gravity reading of 1.270 to 1.215
@ 27 degree centigrade indicates that
battery is fully charged. A reading below
1.215 @ 27 degree centigrade is
considered as uncharged and is
unsatisfactory for use.
Note: The specific gravity reading will vary
with ambient temperature, and may need
correction. Correction can be made by
adding 4 gravity points for every 3.4
degree centigrade or by subtracting 4
gravity for every 3.4 degree centigrade
below 27 degree centigrade.
A voltage reading may also be taken
across each of the individual cells. The
voltage reading across each individual cell
should be approximately 24 V DC.
SEQUENCE OF PROCEDURES
It is important that the procedures in the
manual be followed in the exact sequence
specified.
Batteries,
wiring
and
connections should be checked and
corrected to the specifications given. If
cranking problems still occur, then
connecting cables should be checked

BG825

A42

before replacing the starter with a known


good unit. Similarly, in the charging circuit,
batteries wiring and connections should be
thoroughly checked and corrected to the
specifications given. Only then should the
alternator be checked and replaced if
necessary.

The use of digital voltmeters is highly


recommended for the following reasons:

Digital voltmeters are generally more


accurate
than
analog
(needle
movement) instruments.

Digital instruments are generally auto


ranging; they automatically select the
proper range for the value of the
reading
Reversing polarity with a digital
instrument will simply result in a
negative reading (minus sign) whereas
with an analog voltmeter, reversing
polarity could damage the meter.
If analog meters are not read directly
facing the meter, inaccuracies may
result.

The Primary Causes of Starting System


Malfunction:
Before
discussing
the
preventive
maintenance and diagnostic procedures
for the starting system, we are going to
cover certain environmental and product
application factors that can cause the
starting system to malfunction.
Battery charge
A battery having a low / poor state of
charge will place abnormal stresses on
the starting system. When measuring
battery voltage, make sure voltage is 24 V
or greater.

BG825

A starter motor can become damaged if it


operates too long at high temperatures.
Excessive heat is generally due to
continuous engagement of the starter.
Damage to starting system components
can occur when the starter motor is
cranked for long periods (often due to cold
weather starts etc.). Starter should
operate for 30 seconds maximum then let
to cool down for 2 minutes.
Excessive vibration.

Before replacing the starter motor, check


that there is no external cause for this
fault (water or oil leak from above, motor
seized or abnormally difficult to turn, short
circuit, etc.).

Excessive heat

If starting system components are poorly


or loosely mounted to the vehicles
engine, the resulting vibration can
damage sensitive internal components.
Corrosion, dirt, and dust.
Starting system components operate less
efficiently when corrosion forms or dirt
particles build up around wire and cable
connection points. Corroded and dirty
connection points impair the flow of
electrical current.
Defective solenoid.
If the starter fails to engage or fails to stay
engaged, the pull-in or holding coil may be
defective, or the wiring to the solenoid is
bad. You need to check the wiring to the
solenoid. If the wiring is ok then the coil is
defective and you will have to replace the
solenoid.
Commutator Problems
Starter motors rely on commutators, or
switches that reverse the direction of
current between the external circuit and
rotor, to contact the motor's brushes and
generate electrical power. Commutators
can wear down over time, or accumulate
dirt or other sediment that can impede
operation. Cleaning or replacing the
commutator typically corrects the problem.

A47

Worn Bearings
Motor bearings, or devices in a motor that
allow rotational movement between parts,
can also fail due to normal wear and tear.
Worn bearings can cause the armature, or
coil that generates electrical energy via a
magnetic field, to drag on the stator, or
stationary component of the motor,
resulting in a short circuit and starter
motor failure. Replacing the bearings
typically restores normal motor function.

diagnosing
(i.e.
troubleshooting)
a
problem in the vehicles starting system.
Engine operating condition.
Keeping the engine in good running
condition is essential to ensure efficient
operation of the starting system. Simply
put, an engine in poor condition is harder
to start, and this shortens the life of the
starter motor. An engine that starts easily
results in fewer turns of the starter motor,
and therefore, a longer life for the starter.

Jammed Gear

Wires and cables.

A jammed Bendix gear, or gear used to


press into the flywheel ring gear to crank
the engine, often results in a "clunking"
noise when attempting to start the engine.
The jammed Bendix gear, along with the
ring gear and, if damaged, the starter
motor, may need replacement to start the
engine.

For any type of vehicle electrical system,


its important to keep all connection points
clean. Road dirt and grease create
resistance that interferes with electrical
current flow. In order to get the necessary
power from a unit the size of a starter
motor, there
must be little or no
resistance between the batteries and the
starter motor. In the same vein, one need
to make sure that wires and cables are
clean, properly tightened, and of the
proper size. Any loss of current due to
poor connections will reduce power of the
starter motor.

Battery cable and its routing :


The battery cable connected to Starter
motor solenoid B point should be flexible
and tension should not be there on
terminal. If Battery cable connected with
heavy tension on the terminal leads to
short circuit of terminal, since the terminal
comes out and touches to the solenoid
body. Also it leads to burnt of solenoid
terminal.
Preventive Maintenance Procedures:
The object of preventive maintenance is to
identify and correct potential problems
before they occur.
There are two preventive maintenance
procedures that can greatly enhance the
efficiency of the starting systems
functions.
These two procedures also represent the
initial steps one should take when fully

BG825

Clean all connections on a periodic basis.


Also check for tension on terminals due to
improper routing.
Employing the preventive maintenance
steps we've outlined will be extremely
beneficial to the starting system. There's
also another way to save oneself a lot of
time and wrench work:
Visually inspecting the starting systems
components for signs of damage.
Diagnostic
Procedures

Troubleshooting

Timely preventive maintenance of the


starting system should keep it running
smoothly.

A48

However, if the starter motor is cranking


slowly, or not at all, its time to diagnose
(i.e. Troubleshooting) the starting system.
Any discussion about the electrical system
must begin with the batteries. Before one
begin analyzing, the starting system, one
must be sure the batteries have been
properly tested and are at least 75%
charged. Otherwise, any electrical tests
conducting on the starting system will be
inaccurate.
One must also be aware that if the
batteries aren't being recharged, there
may be a problem in the charging system,
which will lead to starting system
problems Once verified that the batteries
and charging system are working, one can
begin testing the starting system.
When troubleshooting, you always want to
strive for the most easily obtainable
solution and progress toward the most
difficult problems to address.
And
remember,
when
replacing
electrical
equipment,
always
disconnect all battery ground cables at
the batteries.
Ignition / Run switch test
Begin by determining whether the problem
is in the ignition switch, Safety relay and
associated wiring or if its in the solenoid
and starter motor.
We will begin with the ignition switch
circuit. Connect a voltmeter between the
4ST switch terminal of the starter solenoid
and ground see Figure below.
Have someone attempt to crank the
engine and record the voltage. You'll get
either no voltage, low voltage, or normal
voltage, with slow cranking or no cranking
at all.

BG825

IGNITION TEST
First, troubleshoot the switch circuit. You
can test it by connecting a remote start
switch between the battery positive and
the switch terminal on the starter solenoid.
When you close the switch, the starter
should engage and start the engine.
Again, record the voltage while cranking
and compare it to your first reading. A
difference of less than one volt is not
enough to indicate a problem. If there is a
difference of more than one volt, however,
then there is a problem in the switch
circuit.
Use the voltmeter to check each
connection, moving backward through the
switch circuit. If your first test of the
ignition switch had shown low voltage,
that may indicate a shorted starter motor,
which would have to repaired or replaced.
If the voltage in your first test was normal,
but there was slow cranking or no
cranking at all, that would indicate a
problem related to the batteries, battery
cables, or a damaged starter.
4ST Relay / Magnetic switch
The magnetic switch is a sealed unit and
not repairable. For testing of 4ST relay
Disconnect cables from the switch
terminals and wires from coil terminals.

A49

Coil Test
Using an ohmmeter, measure the coil
resistance across the coil terminals.

The coil should read approximately


10-15 Ohms at 72F (22.2 C).

If the ohm meter reads Infinity (), the


coil is open and the switch must be
replaced.

If the ohmmeter reads 0 Ohms, the


coil is shorted and the switch must be
replaced.

If there's no voltage from the motor


terminal to ground (when the solenoid is
activated), that indicates the disc isn't
making contact with the terminals. The
solution is to repair or replace the
solenoid.
Starter motor test
If voltage is present at the solenoid motor
terminal, then the problem is the starter
motor or its cabling.

Place one of the ohmmeter probes on a


coil terminal and another on the switch
Mounting bracket. If the meter displays
any resistance reading, the coil is
grounded and the switch must be
replaced.

The ohmmeter should display when


the probes are placed across the
switch terminals.

NOTE
The switch terminals should show
continuity when 24 VDC is applied to the
coil terminals, however high resistance
across the internal switch contacts due to
arcing etc. could prevent the switch from
delivering adequate current to the
cranking motor. If the coil tests are
satisfactory but the switch is still suspect,
it should be replaced with a new part.
Solenoid test
Although the reasons for low voltage or
normal voltage with slow cranking are
different, the procedures for locating the
problem area are the same. If the solenoid
clicks but the motor wont turn, it means
current is flowing through the solenoid
coils but not through the main contacts.
Connect the voltmeter to the motor
terminal of the solenoid as per the figure
below .
BG825

SOLENOID TEST
If your original test of the ignition (or run)
switch indicated normal voltage, but slow
or no cranking, your next step is to check
the motor system and its connections.
If the drive pinion keeps shifting out of
mesh with the flywheel, then check for a
broken or a loose external ground wire on
the solenoid. Replace a broken wire or
reattach a loose one.
Measure the amp draw with ammeter in
either the positive, see figure below , or
ground cable, see figure below , of the
starter motor while pressing the start
switch. If the amp draw is excessive,
according
to
the
manufactures
specifications, then the starter motor is
faulty. Slow cranking or high current draw
can also indicate that bushings are worn
because of an off-center armature.

A50

Worn bushings and / or and off-center


armature cause poling and throw off the
alignment of the magnetic fields. But,
before you replace the starter, check the
condition of the engine to make sure it
turns freely. An engine in poor condition
could cause the starter to work harder or
longer. In other words, the starter may not
be the problem. It may be damaged by the
engines poor condition.

the starters positive terminals, then the


negative terminals.
Positive cable test
Connect voltmeter, ammeter, and carbon
pile tester as per figure below . Adjust a
carbon pile load tester until ammeter
reads 500 amps through to the meter.
Note the voltage reading. On 12-volt
system, voltage drop should not exceed0
.4 volts. On a 24 volt system, voltage drop
should not exceed 1 volt. Turn off carbon
pile tester when test is complete.

STARTER MOTOR TEST, POSITIVE

STARTER MOTOR TEST, NEGATIVE

Voltage drop test

Connect voltmeter, ammeter, and carbon


pile load tester as per figure below. Adjust
carbon pile load tester until ammeter
reads 500 amps. Note the voltage
reading. On 12- volt system, voltage drop
should not exceed .4 volts. On a 24 volt
system, voltage drop should not exceed 1
volt. Turn off carbon pile tester when test
is complete.

Sluggish cranking may be caused by a


very small amount of extra resistance in
the circuit. This may come from dirty
connections or bad or broken cables. With
the voltage drop test, you first must check
BG825

A51

The voltage readings from the three tests


(Positive and Negative cable tests and
Solenoid voltage drop test) must not add
up to more than one volt for a 12 volt
system or 2.5 volts for a 24 volt system.

NEGATIVE CABLE TEST

Solenoid voltage drop test


The final check takes place at the
solenoid terminal. And for this test, you
must crank the engine. Disconnect the
carbon pile load tester, voltmeter (if
applicable), and ammeter so that none of
the testing equipment will be damaged by
the test procedure. An auto ranging digital
voltmeter is useful in this case, as full
battery voltage appears across the
solenoid terminals before they close.
Connect voltmeter as per figure below.
Crank the engine and note the voltage
reading. No more than two-tenths voltage
drop should exist between the solenoid
contacts.

If the voltage drop is more than allowable,


check the cables and connections. To be
sure the problem is actually a bad cable,
do the voltage drop test over again using
a jumper cable to parallel the original
cable. If the voltage drop is acceptable,
then you know the cable is the problem.
One final note: There are many variations
of grounding the starter circuit. Some
vehicles have a ground cable for the
battery and another ground cable for the
starter motor. Both attach to the frame.
When doing a voltage drop test, you must
check all cables regardless of the circuit.
Starter Replacement
In the event that all of the diagnostic /
troubleshooting procedures point to a
faulty starter, you'll need to replace your
unit with a new starter.

WORKS TO BE CARRIED
OUT BY A MOTOR GRADER
Land Grading (Figure 10.1.)

To level-finish the scraped or turned


up ground, drive the machine in 1st to
2nd with the blade kept at a given
level approx. to the ground. The
scraping angle is set at the standard
angle of 36deg. Take care not to run
over the banking to avoid the machine
pitching, otherwise uneven scraping of
the road face occurs and traction
power will be decreased.
A70

Take enough caution to obstacles


covered under the snow.

FIGURE 10.1.

Repairing of Gravel Road (Figure


10.2.)

When repairing a gravel road, lower


the blade so that it can just touches
the surface of the road and drives the
grader in 1st to 2nd speed range.
Although it is desirable that the
repairing operation should be finished
by a minimum cycle times of travel,
travelling too fast speed may cause
rough finishing of the road.

FIGURE 10.2.

Snow removing (Figure 10.3.)

In the case of fresh snow, set the


blade at the appropriate propulsion
angle and drive the machine with
enough high speed (3rd or 4th gear) as
a throw aside the snow.

FIGURE 10.3.

Scarifying (With Scarifier - OptionAttached) (Figure 10.4.)

The scarifier (OP) is attached to break


up ground surfaces too hard to be
penetrated with the blade. In this
operation, the scarifier is usually
driven in 1st and 2nd speed range. It
is necessary for the teeth of the
scarifier to penetrate deep into the
ground. If the number of the scarifier
teeth is not adequate to penetrate the
teeth deep into the ground, reduce the
teeth in number so as to allow proper
scarifying. (The number of the scarifier
teeth must be 5 or more).

In case of heavy or a thick layer of


snow, drive the machine in 1st or 2nd
gear. The scarifier can also be used
for turning up the snow. The snow in
thrown to one side of the machine
In cases of extremely heavy snow, the
snow plow attachment (optional) is

Mixing (Figure 10.5.)

Ditching (Figure 10.7.)

The blade of the grader is available for


mixing up road construction materials
by its rolling function. In this operation,
the grader should be driven in the 2nd
and 3rd speed range with the blade
forward tilted and slightly angled. Too
great a volume of mixing materials
may prevent sufficient rolling of them.

Ditching should be in the 1st to 2nd


speed operation. The blade must
positioned in such a manner that dug
soil is inside the rear wheels. In
addition, be sure to remove the earth
heaped up under the chassis before it
reaches the bottom of the machine,
Lean the front wheels, correspondingly
to the tilt of the machine.

Spreading (Figure 10.6.)

The traveling speed of the grader is


most suitable in the 2nd to 3rd speed
range, with the blade sliding, as in the
spreading operation. Avoid changing
its traveling direction unnecessarily
lest the newly flattened surface will be
disturbed by the rear wheels of the
grader. Be careful that the materials
are spread to an adequate thickness.

ADJUSTMENT OF BLADE
CUTTING ANGLE

This machine is equipped with a power tilt


blade, so the blade cutting angle can be
varied freely in the following range.

If the blade is operated with the


hydraulic tip control, the distance
between the cutting edge and the
excavation surface changes. This
means that fine adjustment of the
excavation surface is possible.

In the low-banking position when


raising the dirt and snow, the optimum
blade cutting angle can be selected to
increase operating efficiency.

OPERATION OF THE BLADE


ACCUMULATOR (OPTIONAL)

Lower the blade to the ground and


stop the engine. Turn the starting
switch to the ON position to supply
power to the electric circuits, then turn
on the accumulator switch. Next, move
the R.H. and L.H. blade lift levers
forward and backward to release the
residual pressure in the accumulator
and the hydraulic circuits.
Turn off the accumulator switch, and
then start the engine.
Next, extend the R.H. and L.H. blade
lift cylinders about 50 mm. (At this
time, holding pressure is produced at
the bottom of the blade lift cylinders.)
Turn on the accumulator switch to
operate the accumulator. The oil in the
bottom of the R.H. and L.H. blade lift
cylinders
will
flow
into
the
accumulator, both blade lift cylinders
will shorten, and the front wheels will
lower to the ground.

Once the accumulator is set and the


machine is started, the blade lift levers
do not need to be operated. When
stopping the work for a time, the
accumulator can be reset to the same
Condition as before stopping the work
by turning off the switch, lifting the
blade, lowering it to the ground again,
and turning on the switch again.
13.7

FEATURES OF THE BLADE


ACCUMULATOR (OPTIONAL)

Ease of work
The blade does not need to be
operated.
This work does not require a lot of
skill.
Safety and protection
Shocks are reduced.
The machine is protected from buried
objects. (The machine runs over
projecting objects.)
Improved steering performance

At this time, a pressure is maintained


at the bottom of the blade lift cylinders,
that is, a pressure acts on the blade.
When the machine is operated under
this condition, the blade can follow a
difference in ground level of about
50mm, which is the standard operation
when an accumulator is in use.

Steering performance on curves is


improved.
Side slips on curves are reduced.
Steering performance with the leaning
system is improved.
Side slips made while using the
leaning system are reduced.
Trouble with front wheels (floating or
unstable wheels) is eliminated.

BG825

A77

Improved workability
The pressing force of the blade is
improved.
The relief of the blade is improved.

REVERSING
AND
REPLACEMENT OF CUTTING
EDGE AND END BIT

Replace cutting edges and end bits


before their blades end faces wear out.
When wear is extended to the
mounting faces, their repair must be
done prior to replacing.
14.1

TURNING AND REPLACING

Lift the blade to a suitable height and


put a block underneath the blade rail
to prevent its falling.

Mount the cutting edges after inverting


it, or replacing it with a new one.

The tightening torque for the mounting


nuts is 40 to 54 kgm.

Tighten the nuts again after several


hours operation.

If both ends of the cutting edge and


side edges are worn out, replace them
with new ones.

14.2

REPLACING RIPPER POINT

Drive out the pin with a bar and


hammer, and remove the point
Fit a new point to the shank and drive
in the pin. The pin can be reused.

Do not raise the blade unnecessarily


high. Be sure not to put your body
underneath the blade when blocking it
Clean the mounting face after
detaching the cutting edge and the
end bit.

Details shown in the Figure 15.1.

In installing new tires, tighten lightly


with the tires lifted and tighten the tires
to the specified torque in the order
shown in the photos, after placing the
tires on the ground.

Repeat the front wheel change


procedures 1) and 2).
Depress fully the right and left lift
cylinders and the front tires are lifted
about 50 cm off ground. Retract the lift
cylinder on the side where the tire is
not removed, to lift rear wheels.
Install new tires according to the
procedure 4) of the wheel tire change.

Tightening torque:
225+ 25 kgm

Whenever the rear wheels are raised


off the ground, stably support the
tandem on the block to assure safety.

16.

HOW TO
STOPPER

USE

LEANING

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 this case, be sure
to securely keep the punctured tire off the
ground with chains, etc.
FIGURE 15.1.
BG825

angle, the blade will damage step.

17.2

WAY TO INSERT SHACK WHEN


TRANSPORTING

The way to insert the shank when


transporting is as shown in the diagram
below.
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 tires will result.
Have the faulty leaning pipe repaired
by mechanics quickly.

17.

Install the shank that comes in the center


of the ripper body with the point facing to
the rear, or install it in a position other
than the center.

DRIVING ALONG ROAD

TOWING THE MACHINE

This machine must not be towed except in


emergencies. When towing the machine,
take the following precautions.

If there is a failure in the air circuit, the


brakes cannot be used, so be
extremely careful when towing.
When engine can be used.

Disconnecting the booster cables


a) Disconnect the clip of booster cable B
from the body of the machine which
was started.

When engine cannot be used.

When transporting a disabled machine


by towing, the transportation distance
should be within 600 m at a speed of 8
km/h or less. (When towing more than
600 m, remove the drive shaft.)

If the distance is more than the above


mentioned, or if 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, on lubrication oil will
be supplied to the transmission. The
gears and bearings are rotated, so this
may cause them to be damaged.

b) Disconnect the other clip from the


negative (-) terminal of the running
engine.
c) Disconnect the clip of booster cable A
from the positive (+) terminal of the
running engine.
d) Disconnect the other clip from the
positive (+) terminal of the engine
which was started.

Always keeps the engine running


when towing the machine, so that the
steering and braking can be used.

Details are shown below in Figure 18.3.b.

If leakage in the air circuit has caused


the pressure inside the air tank to
drop, the parking brake will be applied.
When towing the machine, release the
parking brake.

19.2

FIGURE 18.3.b.
BG825

RELEASING PARKING BRAKE

If the pressure in the air tank drops below


2.4 kg/cm2, the parking brake is applied
automatically. Therefore, when towing the
machine, release the parking brake as
follows.
A83

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.

Turn bolt (1) and the parking brake will be


released.
Stop the machine on a flat surface when
releasing the parking brake, and check
that the surroundings are safe. In
emergencies or when the parking brake
must be released on a hill, block the tires
carefully before releasing the brake.

20.

Properly load the motor grader 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
motor grader from slipping sideward.

Rest the work equipment on the trailer


deck and observe the following:

TRANSPORTATION

In addition to strict observance of traffic


laws and rules concerned, it is desirable
to provide a special platform for loading
and unloading of the motor grader. If it is
necessary to use a ramp when loading a
motor grader on a trailer or unloading it
from a trailer, observe the following
instructions to assure safety:

Remove the mud form the under


carriage to prevent the machine from
slipping to the side on slopes.

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 center line of the trailer.

Place the gear shift lever in the parking


position.
Place work equipment control lever in hold
position.
Apply safety locks.
Pull the staring switch key out.

Width, length and thickness of ramp


boards must large enough to assure
safe loading and unloading of the
motor grader.

Determine the optimum transportation


route, taking width of road and
permissible overhead clearance and
weight limitation into consideration.

Remove all the mud from the


undercarriage to prevent the machine
from slipping to the side on hilly roads.

Lock the articulation lock pin in the


same way as for normal travel.

Lock the articulation lock pin in the


same way as for normal travel.

Slowly travel the motor grader on the


ramp straight.

FUNCTION

Turn the AUTO/MANUAL selector


switch to the MANU position.

When the switch is operated, check


that the alarm buzzer sounds
continuously and that the electric
pump for the emergency steering is
operated.

Turn the steering wheel and check


that the steering can be operated
without problem.

STEERING

This system acts to prevent steering


failure caused by a breakdown in the
engine or hydraulic pump when the
machine is being operated.
If the pressure in the steering hydraulic
circuit goes below 7 kg/cm2, the pressure
switch is turned ON, and the electric
motor is actuated to turn the hydraulic
pump and supply hydraulic pressure to
the steering circuit to make it possible to
operate the steering.
However, if the machine is traveling at
less than 1 km/h (0.62mph) (including
when the machine is stopped), the
steering is not automatically actuated.

The emergency steering motor must


not be operated continuously more
than 30 seconds.

BG825

When checking above points, do not


continue the check for more than 30
seconds.

Turn the AUTO/MANUAL selector


switch to the AUTO position and check
that the monitor and warning lamps go
out, and that the electric pump for the
emergency steering stops working.

If any abnormality occurs, turn the


starting switch to the OFF position to
stop the whole system.

A85

When
checking
the
emergency
steering or when actuating the system
in emergencies, the level of the oil in
the auxiliary tank may go down. Check
the oil level in the auxiliary tank and
always keep the level in the auxiliary

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
cost.
All hourly figures given in the following
descriptions are based on service meter
readings. In practice, however, it is
recommended to review and convert
some / all of them into units of days,
weeks and months to make the
maintenance schedule more convenient
for day to day monitoring under hostile
operating conditions, it may be necessary
to review and shorten the maintenance
intervals.

2.

PRECAUTIONS FOR
MAINTENANCE

2.1

GENERAL

Wear well-fitting helmet, safety shoes and


working clothes. When drilling, grinding or
hammering, always wear protective
goggles.
Fuel or oil is dangerous substance. Never
handle fuel, oil grease or oily clothes in
places where there is any fire of flame. As
precaution in case of fire, always know the
location and directions for use of fire
extinguishers and other fire-fighting
equipment.

FIGURE 2-1. WORK AS PER


INSTRUCTION
Do not handle electrical equipment while
wearing wet gloves, or in wet places, as
this can cause electric shock as shown in
the Figure below 2-2.

FIGURE 2-2. HANDLE ELECTRICAL


EQUIPMENT CAREFULLY
During maintenance do not allow any
unauthorized person to stand near the
machine.
Exhaust gas is dangerous. When working
inside, be particularly careful to have good
ventilation as shown in the Figure below
2-3.

Always stop the engine before cleaning


the machine or adding fuel.
When working with other, choose a group
leader and work according to his
instruction.
Do
not
perform
any
maintenance beyond the agreed work as
shown in the Figure below 2-1.

FIGURE 2-3. PROPER VENTILATION


BG825

B3

Unless you have special instructions to


the contrary do not do maintenance,
maintenance should always be carried out
with the engine stopped. If maintenance
is carried out with the engine running,
there must be two men present as shown
in the Figure below 2-4.

Always use BEML genuine parts for


replacement.
Always use the grades of grease and oil
recommended by BEML. Choose the
viscosity specified for the ambient
temperature.
Always use pure oil or grease, and be
sure to use clean containers.
When checking or changing the oil, do it in
a place free of dust, and prevent any dirt
from getting into the oil.

3.
FIGURE 2-4. PROPER PROCEDURE
FOR MAINTENANCE
While one person sitting in the operator's
seat and the other one performing the
maintenance never touch any moving
part.
Always remember that the hydraulic oil
circuit is under pressure. When feeding or
draining the oil or carrying out inspection
and maintenance release the pressure
first. The procedure for releasing the
hydraulic pressure is as follows: lower the
blade and scarifier (option) to the ground,
and stop the engine; move the control
levers to each position two or three times
and then slowly loosen the oil filter cap as
shown in the Figure below 2-5.

DURING MAINTENANCE

Parking the machine on firm, flat ground.


Lower the blade and scarifier (option) to
the ground stop the engine. Return the
gear shift lever to "NEUTRAL", apply the
brake lock and set each control lever to
"LOCK" When maintenance has to be
carried out with the blade and scarifier
(option) raised, they must be securely
supported by blocks.
Thoroughly wash the machine. In
particular be careful to clean the filler caps
grease fittings and the area around the
dipsticks.
Be careful not to let any dirt or dust in to
the system.
Hang a caution sign in the operator's
compartment (for example "Do not start"
or "Maintenance in progress) this will
prevent anyone from starting or moving
the machine by mistake as shown in the
Figure below 3-1.

FIGURE 3-1. HANG CAUTION WHILE


DOING MAINTENANCE
FIGURE 2-5. HYDRAULIC OIL UNDER
PRESSURE
BG825

Flame should never be used instead of


lamps. Never use a naked flame to check
B4

leaks or the level of oil, fuel, anti-freeze or


electrolyte as shown in the Figure below
3-2.

When the strainer is located in the oil filter,


the strainer must not be removed while
adding oil.
When adding oil or checking the oil level,
check that the oil is at the correct level.
After greasing up, always wipe off the old
grease that was forced out.
When changing the oil or filter, check the
drained oil and filter for any signs of
excessive metal particles or other foreign
materials.

FIGURE 3-2. AVOID FLAMES


Immediately remove any oil or grease on
the floor of the operators compartment, or
on the handrail. It is very dangerous if
someone slips while on the machine.
When check an open gear case there is a
risk of dropping things in. Before removing
the covers to inspect such cases, empty
everything from your pockets. Be
particularly careful to remove wrenches
and nuts as shown in the Figure 3-3.

When removing parts containing O-rings,


gaskets or seals, clean the mounting
surface and replace with new sealing
parts.
When the work equipment is raised for
inspection or repair, always place blocks
underneath to prevent falling as shown in
the Figure 3-4.

FIGURE 3-4. PLACE BLOCKS


UNDERNEATH

When the machine is jacked up, always


put chocks against the wheels on the
opposite side. After jacking up, place
blocks to prevent the machine from falling
as shown in the Figure 3-5.

FIGURE 3-3. KEEP TOOLS PROPERLY

Before draining the oil, warm up it to a


temperature 20 to 40 degree centigrade.
Be particularly careful when removing the
radiator cap or the hydraulic tank filler cap.
If this is done immediately after using the
machine, there is a danger that boiling
water or oil may spurt out.
After replacing oil, filter, element or
strainer, bleed the air from the circuit.

FIGURE 3-5. WHILE MACHINE IS


JACKED UP
Disassembly, repair and assembly of tires
require special equipment and high skill.

BG825

B5

Always consult a specialized tire repair


shop as shown in the Figure 2-11.

4.

PERIODICAL REPLACEMENT
OF SAFETY PARTS

Periodic replacement of safety parts


should be done to maintain the safety
standards.

FIGURE 3-5. WHILE REPLACING TIRES


Always lock the front and rear frames
before inspecting and servicing the
machine. (Inarticulate frame model).
When handling the cutting edges always
wear gloves.

Parts with passage of time have a greater


tendency to deteriorate in quality.
Furthermore their defective condition is
difficult to detect during periodic
maintenance. These parts must be
therefore replaced with the new ones after
a predefined interval even though there is
no abnormality. If any abnormality is found
parts must be replaced before the
predetermined period expires.
Periodical replacement is completely
different from the replacement due to the
claim against the guarantee by the
manufacturer so they must be treated
separately.

Special measuring apparatus is needed


for testing hydraulic pressure.
Remove the negative terminal from the
battery in maintaining the electrical
system.
The users of our machine should carry out
periodical maintenance in order to ensure
the working and operation safety as
shown in the Figure 3-6.

FIGURE 3-6. CARRY OUT PERIODIC


MAINTENANCE
When carrying out other difficult
maintenance works, carrying them out
carelessly
can
cause
unexpected
accidents.
If
you
consider
the
maintenance is too difficult, always
request the BEML service personnel to
carry it out.

WHEN REQUIRED
CLEAN INSIDE OF COOLING
SYSTEM

Maintenance :
Follow the below instructions for
maintaining (particularly during cold
season) the cooling system.
Radiator cap is always to be fitted. This
will avoid dust collection, coolant loss and
system pressure loss.

Check the coolant for any traces of oil


during daily maintenance.
Do not remove strainer from radiator filler
tube.

Antifreeze is flammable, so keep it


away from any flame.

Clean / wash radiator fins periodically.


Periodicity to be determined based on the
usage and site condition.
Sharp tools should not be used for
cleaning tubes / fins as it may puncture
them.
If anticorrosive solution or antifreeze
solution is used, always keep extra
solution ( water + antifreeze or
anticorrosive ) in a container so that any
loss of coolant during day to day operation
could be replenished easily.
Check leakage of coolant during engine
ON and OFF condition.
Avoid switching off the engine unless
there is leakage of coolant or any
abnormality.
Change the coolant at least once in a
year.
Observe the coolant temperature rising
rate. This will give an indication about the
cooling system problem.
Radiator (top tank) should not be filled up
to the mouth. It should be filled only up to
the filler neck. The empty space is meant
for coolant expansion and de-aeration.

STORAGE

10.1

BEFORE STORAGE

To place the machine in storage for an


extended period of time, the following
measures must be taken to insure that it
can be returned to operation with
minimum of service.
After every part is washed and dried, the
machine shall be housed in a dry building.
Never leave it outdoors.
In case it is indispensable to leave it
outdoors, lay wood plates on the ground,
and park the machine on the wood plates
and cover it with canvas etc.
Completely fill fuel tank. Lubricate and
change oil before storage.

When it is unavoidably necessary to


carry out rust preventive operation
indoors, open all windows and doors to
circulate the air and prevent the
accumulation of poisonous gases.
10.3

AFTER STORAGE

Carry out the following procedure when


taking the machine out of long term
storage.
Wipe off grease on the hydraulic piston
rod.
Completely fill fuel tank, lubricate and add
oil.

Lower the air pressure in the tires to about


80% of the standard operating pressure.

If the machine is stored without carrying


out the monthly rust prevention operation,
request your BEML service personnel.

Give a thin coat of grease to metal surface


(hydraulic piston rods and oil seal).

11.

As to batteries, remove the terminals and


place cover on them, or remove them from
the machine and store separately.
In case the atmospheric temperature may
drop below 00C, add antifreeze in the
cooling water.

MACHINE
AND
SERIAL NUMBERS

ENGINE

When calling for service of mechanic or


when making replacement parts order, be
sure to give your
BEML
service
personnel the machine and engine serial
numbers as well as the service meter
reading before mentioned.

Set the gear shift lever to neutral position,


set the fuel control lever to engine stop
position, and leave the steering pedal not
locked.
10.2

DURING STORAGE

Operate the engine and move the


machine for a short distance once a
month so that new oil film will be
generated and exhaustion of oil film in a
long period will be prevented.
Before using work equipment, wipe off the
grease from the pressure cylinder rod.

When starting the engine in an


atmospheric temperature of lower
than zero degree centigrade, be sure
to use engine oil of SAE 10W, even
though an atmospheric temperature
goes up 10 degree centigrade more or
less in the day time.

Suitable multi grade oil can be used


for varying ambient temperature
(day/night)

Avoid mixing of different brands of oils


even if the grade of oil is same.

Use API classification CD as engine


oil and if API classification CC, reduce
the engine oil change interval to half.

We recommend BEML genuine oil


which

been
specifically
formulated and proved for use in
engine and hydraulic work equipment
applications.
