General

Intended use
The machine is intended to be used under normal conditions for
the operations described in the Operator's Manual. If it is used for
other purposes or in potentially dangerous environments, for ex-
ample, an explosive atmosphere, areas with dust containing as-
bestos, etc., special safety regulations must be followed and the
machine must be equipped for such use. Contact the manufactur-
er or dealer for further information.
Engine
The engine is a four stroke cycle, in line six cylinder, turbocharged
diesel with overhead valves and air-to-air charge air cooler. These
engines are of the low emission type and all models have VHP
(Variable horsepower).
VHP
All Volvo grader models have engines that provide 2 different pow-
er levels depending on the gear selected by the operator.
– For non-All Wheel Drive equipped graders, forward gears 1,
2, and reverse 1, have reduced power to minimize wheel slip.
In forward gears 3 through 8, and reverse gears 2 through 4,
engine power is automatically increased.
– For All Wheel Drive equipped models with the All Wheel Drive
system turned OFF, the function of the VHP is the same as
above.
– For All Wheel Drive equipped models with the All Wheel Drive
turned ON, the engine power is increased for all gears.
– There is no operator selectable control over the VHP system.
