Operation
• Obey all local laws concerning loading, unloading,
and transport of equipment.
NOTE: Keep the trailer bed clean.
• Use a ramp or loading dock. Make sure the ramp
weight capacity will support the motor grader and
has a low angle of rise to the trailer bed.
• Center the grader with the trailer and load the
grader on the trailer bed by driving straight on. The
motor grader centerline must be over the centerline
of the trailer.
• Lower the moldboard length onto wooden blocks
to protect trailer bed. Do not apply downward
pressure.
• Cover the exhaust opening with heavy gauge plastic
to prevent dust and moisture entering the engine.
Remove the plastic cover from the
exhaust before operating the motor grader.
