Proper maintenance is important for your motor grader to continue to operate efficiently and perform at its peak performance.
Most importantly, the motor grader blades mounted to the moldboard must have a good sharp cutting edge. This increases the ease with which the blade cuts through the material. How worn the material is ultimately determines how quickly the blade wears. Once the blades are worn, they should be replaced as soon as possible to avoid the risk of the moldboard also wearing out, resulting in unnecessary replacements and thus increased costs.
In addition, the air filter of the grader should be checked from time to time to ensure that no dust has accumulated in it. The presence of dirt can clog the air filter, reducing the efficiency of the classifier and subsequently increasing fuel consumption. Therefore, they require constant monitoring by the operator or the introduction of a pre-filter, which acts to reduce the amount of dirt particles entering the air filter. Using a pre-filter helps reduce the number of times the operator has to change the air filter, saving money that would otherwise be incurred.
The teeth of the ripper or ripper should be monitored so that they do not wear to the point where the ripper handle reaches. If this happens, the ripper and ripper handle must be replaced, a more expensive task than just replacing the ripper teeth.
Tire pressure is another essential element that must be checked and monitored regularly, as tire traction can affect grade accuracy on your motor grader. Therefore, the tire threads should meet the required specifications in order to provide sufficient ground grip and prevent the machine from skidding.
For the overall comfort and safety of the operator, floor mats, brakes, seat belts, steering wheel and handles should be inspected regularly. The presence of loose handles, seat belts can make work more tedious and difficult to perform, resulting in lack of precision and longer working hours, reducing overall productivity.Motor Grader
