Motor Grader Safety and Operation

A free familiarisation course on the motor grader for new operators, supervisors, spotters and anyone who works or drives near one. Learn the drawbar, circle and moldboard, the blade positions, the scarifier and the articulation and its lock, the articulation crush zone, traffic and visibility on haul roads, rollover at banks and ditches, the pre-use walk-around, road maintenance and ditch cutting, and safe parking, with the machine in 3D. It does not replace the practical training, assessment and authorisation your employer and local law require before anyone operates a grader.
