Articulation
NOTICE:
An articulation lock pin
(1)
under the cab must
be removed and placed in storage bracket
(2)
before
operating. DO NOT operate machine with articulation lock
pin installed.
The motor grader has an articulating frame. Articulating
the frame
(1)
toward the inside of a turn greatly reduces
the turning radius, allowing operation in tight quarters.
The motor grader is typically operated in a non-
articulated position for large, open areas or for road
maintenance.
The articulated frame allows offsetting
(2)
the front tires
from the rear tires. This is accomplished by articulating
away from the inside of a turn. When used with the
moldboard and circle shifted to one side, the motor grader
can move material over the edge of a wall without overloading the edge and risking collapse of the
supporting surface. Offsetting also permits better weight concentration behind the blade in severe
operating conditions.
Move Articulation Control Lever
(1)
forward to articulate
to the left and rearward to articulate to the right.
