Contronics
Contronics display provides detailed
system status to the operator in real
time: records up to 25 points of interest
for service analysis through the exclusive
Matris system from Volvo.
Volvo transmission
The full power shift HTE840 and
optional HTE1160 transmissions were
developed expressly for motor graders.
Manual, optional Autoshift and Travel
modes optimize performance and fuel
economy. The Volvo exclusive shuttle
shift feature enables effortless shifts
between forward and reverse without
stopping or using the inching pedal.
Autoshift
Just select a target gear in the working
range and the transmission shifts
automatically through turns and grades,
as needed. Optional for HTE840
transmission, standard with HTE1160.
Fast refueling
Quick, convenient access for ground
level refueling; lockable panels provide
added security on the job site or in
the yard.
Care Cab
Ergonomic design includes low-
effort, short-throw levers; adjustable
pedestal with familiar industry-standard
operating controls centered in front of
the operator. ROPS/FOPS enclosed
operator compartment lives up to every
expectation for a Volvo Care Cab with
industry-leading comfort, safety and
efficiency. Unobstructed wide-angle
views reduce operator fatigue, increase
productivity and maximize safety.
Rear-view visibility
Interior and exterior mirrors combine
for a clear wide-angle view to the
sides and rear of the grader. Rear
cab posts are positioned to optimize
operator visibility.
PDF Hydraulics
Proportional Demand Flow (PDF) is an
intelligent closed center, load-sensing
hydraulic system that delivers the exact
amount of hydraulic oil flow when and
where it is needed; variable displacement
axial piston pump provides excellent
multi-function control while conserving
fuel; minimal connections for high
reliability and low service requirements.

Volvo Circle Turn
The distinctive Volvo Circle Turn
System is a key development in
superior grader productivity. The
circle is operated by two direct-
acting hydraulic cylinders, 90° out
of phase, acting on teeth cut on the
outside of the circle. This design
achieves far greater load handling
strength than conventional
circle-drive systems, with fewer
moving parts.
