Useful Techniques for an Experienced Motor Grader Operator

Motor Grader Operator

The road grader operator is the primary party responsible for the machine’s wear and tear. Harsh terrain is the number one cause for heavy construction equipment malfunctions. Areas with more rocks tend to be more harmful to the machine since it is more likely to damage something.This requires a more skilled operator to keep the motor grader in good condition.

A skillful operator knows how to properly handle a road grader and prevent any unnecessary damage.Sometimes, it is all about correct positioning for the moldboard. Always keep it straight up; rolling the grader blade forward makes the edge blunt. This also helps with better rear visibility allowing the operator to finish his task without hassle. A good way to spot an experienced operator is to see if he constantly changes blade angles during usage. If the operator mistakenly rolls the moldboard back it negatively affects the final grade and ultimately producing subpar results. To avoid any damage you have to keep an eye out for both sides of the edge.

Grading along gutters and curbs needs absolute and complete attention from the operator. Any slight lapse could result in the machine running up against the curb and the edge being chipped as well as the moldboard end.
