Important Safety Information
Most accidents occurred during the operation, repair and maintenance are due to the
inobservance of basic safety rules or that no preventive measures are taken. If
potential dangers are aware before the accidents, usually they can be avoided. The
operators must be warned about all the potential dangers. Besides the operators also
need to take necessary training to master basic skills and correctly operate the
machine.
Improperly performing the operation, lubrication, repair and maintenance to the
product is dangerous, as it may cause injuries or even death.
The above works shall be performed when the operator have read all the instructions
about product operation, lubrication, repair and maintenance.
There are safety precautions and warnings on the Manual and the machine. If
ignoring the warnings, it may cause injuries or death to you and others.
Note the potential dangers when you see “safety warning signs” and “warning labels”,
such as “Danger”, “Warning “ or “Caution”. The “Warning” sign is shown below:
The warning sign means: Warning, be alert! Your safety is involved!

The danger conditions are explained under the word “Warning”, some are stated with
words, and some with graphs.
For those operations which can cause product damage, “Caution” signs are attached on
the machine and they are also explained in the manual.
Caterpillar (Qingzhou) Ltd.can not predict every condition of potential danger, thus
not all the conditions are included in the warning signs of the manual and the
machine. If the tools, operation procedures, work methods, or operation
technologies that you have utilized are not specially recommended by CQL, you
should guarantee the safety of yourself and others, and that what you have used
can not damage the machine or cause any danger.
The data, technical range, and graphs in the manual are compiled according to what are
available at the compile date. And the technical standards, torque, pressure, measured
value, adjustment value, graphs and other items are subject to change at any time, which
can affect product repair. So you must get the latest manual before each operation. If you
have any question, please contact SEM or the nearest agent.
CQL recommends the original genuine parts or parts with the same technical
parameters when the parts need to be replaced.
Ignoring the warning may cause accident, product damage, injuries or death.

Machine Overview
Introduction
The SEM 919 & 921 motor grader has multiple features: the spacious cab has wide view,
and it is quiet and comfortable to operate; internationally advanced blade mobility and
work range; various kinds of optional working tools can be applicable to all kinds of work
conditions, meet different customer needs, and maximize customer profits.
SEM 919 & 921 motor grader is a kind of multifunctional earthmoving machinery which
features high speed, high efficiency and high precision. The blade is mounted between
the front and rear axle, which makes it possible to flatten the ground and pave materials
according to various grade requirements. The machine is mainly used for flattening large
sites, the reshaping of road base, finishing side slope, trenching, and the paving and
mixing of road materials in road project. And it can also perform various operations like
ripping, bulldozing, and snow removal, etc. when equipped with scarifier, moldboard and
snow plow.
The scraper of the machine can achieve degrees of freedom, i.e. moving and
rotating along the space coordinate axes x, y, z. And each motion can be
finished independently or in combination with others.
The machine can provide good strength and stability for the road base. In the road
base construction, the machine mainly performs grading, slope cutting, and filling
embankment operation.
The machine consists of diesel engine, hydraulic system, drive system, brake system,
electrical system, structural parts, sheet parts, and cab. See the diagram below.
The machine has wider blade location range provided by the 7-hole blade rod,
standard 7 locating holes, blade connecting device, longer and higher main frame,
which also contributes to the following advantages:
• The work performance is improved in the slope range of 1.5: 1~2: 1.
• The productivity is improved due to prolonged reach distance of moldboard

and wider cutting angle, which is achieved through the longer blade lift and the
central shifting cylinder.
