Accumulators
Some graders are equipped with blade lift and circle shift accumu-
lators. The accumulators absorb shock loads and protect the sys-
tem from impact damage when the grader is working in severe
applications.
In fine grading operations where a high degree of blading toler-
ance is needed, the accumulators can be isolated from the hy-
draulic system. This is done using shut-off valves. Shut-off valve
handles are found in the toolbox located on the right-hand tandem
case for this purpose. Turn the handle clockwise to disconnect the
accumulator from the hydraulic system.
Turn the handle counterclockwise to connect the accumulator to
the hydraulic system.
Radio/tape player
A factory-installed radio/tape player is available as an option. The
radio console is mounted in the headliner to the left behind the op-
erator. Twin speakers are installed in the upper rear corners of the
cab. Refer to the instructions supplied in the package of manuals.
Battery isolation switch
The battery isolation switch is located inside the engine compart-
ment on the left-hand side of the grader. The switch cuts off elec-
tricity between the batteries and the grader’s electrical system.
n Turn the switch OFF to the (O) position and all electrical de-
vices are inoperative.
n Turn the switch ON to the (I) position to reconnect the electri-
cal system.
NOTE! Do not bypass the battery isolation switch. Have the
switch repaired if it is not working properly.
