Safety Symbol Explanation
Refer to and follow the Shutdown Procedure before servicing, cleaning,
repairing, or transporting machine.
Pressurized fluid can penetrate body tissue and result in serious injury or death.
Leaks can be invisible. Keep away from any suspected leak. Relieve pressure in
the hydraulic system before searching for leaks, disconnecting hoses, or
performing any other work on the system. If you must pressurize the system to
find a suspected leak, use an object such as a piece of wood or cardboard rather
than your hands. When loosening a fitting where some residual pressure may
exist, slowly loosen the fitting until oil begins to leak. Wait for leaking to stop
before disconnecting the fitting. Fluid injected under the skin must be removed
immediately by a surgeon familiar with this type of injury.
Contact with moving parts can cause death or serious injury.
• Keep hands, feet, and clothing away from power-driven parts.
• Wear close-fitting clothing and confine long hair. Avoid wearing jewelry,
such as rings, wristwatches, necklaces, or bracelets.
• Keep all shields and guards in place and properly secured.
Explosion and separation of a tire can cause serious injury or death.
• Never stand beside the tire when inflating.
• Never inflate beyond the tire manufacturer’s recommended tire pres-
sure.
• Always mount, demount or inflate tires with properly trained and quali-
fied personal.
Diesel Exhaust Fluid (DEF) may cause eye irritation and can be moderately
irritating to the skin. Exposure to decomposition products may cause a health
hazard. Serious effects may be delayed following exposure.
DEF is not expected to produce significant adverse health effects when the
recommended instructions for use are followed.
• DO NOT breathe DEF vapor or mist.
• DO NOT eat, drink, or smoke when using DEF.
• Avoid DEF contact with eyes, skin, and clothing.
• Wash thoroughly after handling DEF.

General Safety Messages
• Only responsible persons, delegated to do so, should operate any machine.
• Be sure safety shields, guards, and barriers are in place and in good condition before starting
the machine.
• Check to see that all personnel are clear of the machine before starting.
• Place all controls in NEUTRAL or OFF position when shutting the machine down. Apply the
park brake. Be sure all controls are in NEUTRAL or OFF position and the park brake is applied
before starting the engine.
• When parking the machine for the night, provide the appropriate lighting and marking if the
machine is adjacent to a roadway or a construction area where work is in progress.
• DO NOT leave the machine unattended when the engine is running.
• Keep the machine clean. The process of cleaning will reveal loose bolts, hydraulic lines, fittings
and other trouble spots.
• Always keep the operator’s platform clean and free from grease, oil, rags, and loose tools to help
prevent slipping and falling.
• Before cleaning, adjusting or servicing the machine, shut engine down and place all controls and
switches in neutral or off position. Completely lower all attachments, or securely support raised
components. A variation of the above procedure may be used if instructed within this manual.
• Refuel the machine only with the engine OFF. Never smoke or have an open flame in area when
refueling.
• Refill or check the radiator only when the engine is OFF and the radiator is not hot. Turn cap
slowly to the first stop to relieve the pressure before removing the cap.
• Before starting or continuing operation, correct or report any mechanical deficiency that may
cause further damage.
• Securely support with suitable blocking the mainframe, moldboard or other components that
are suspended or held aloft by slings, hoists, jacks or hydraulic cylinders before working under
or between them.
• Make no modifications to your equipment unless specifically requested by NorAm.
• No riders allowed on machine. Only a seated operator, with seat belt securely fastened, is per-
mitted on the machine during grading operation or when roading between job sites. Operator’s
platform is for properly trained and qualified personnel only.
The following general safety rules are important for safe operation of the
machine.

NORAM 65ET GRADER

Safety 1
Safety Symbol Explanation
Slope Operation Safety
Drive the machine at a speed suitable for the terrain. Avoid sudden stopping, starting or turning.
Avoid traveling across slopes. Drive up and down slopes when possible. Safe operating slope depends
upon many factors, including:
• Keep moldboard low and close to the ground. Lower moldboard to ground if machine starts to
slip.
• Select the same gear when going downhill as would be used going uphill. Select the gear before
starting down slope. DO NOT freewheel down slopes or hills.
• Uphill or downhill position of moldboard
• Uneven, rough or slippery ground conditions
• Potential for ground giving way, causing either unplanned forward, reverse, or sideways tilt
• Nearness of ditches, ruts, stumps, or other obstructions and sudden changes in slope
• Travel speed and turning rate
• Front axle only steering versus frame articulation and front axle steering
• Braking performance
• Skill of operator
Safety Decals - Inspect
Safety decals located on your machine contain important and useful information that will help you
operate your equipment safely. To assure that all decals remain in place and in good condition, follow
the instructions given below:
• Keep decals clean. Use soap and water, not mineral spirits, abrasive cleaners, or other similar
cleaners that will damage the decal.
• Replace any damaged or missing decals. When attaching decals, the temperature of the mount-
ing surface must be at least 40°F (5°C). The mounting surface must also be clean and dry.
• When replacing a machine component with a decal attached, replace the decal also.
• Replacement decals can be purchased from your NorAm dealer.
Check Laws And Regulations
Know and obey all federal, state, and local laws and regulations that apply to your work situation.
Fire Extinguisher
Fire extinguisher (not supplied with machine) should be mounted on the machine for easy access to
the operator.
Failure to follow any of the preceding safety instructions or those that follow
within this manual, could result in serious injury or death. This machine is to be
used only for those purposes for which it was intended as explained in this
operator’s manual.

ORIENTATION
References are made throughout this manual to describe
location and direction. Unless otherwise specified,
reference to direction is from the operator's seat.
MACHINE DESCRIPTION
The grader is a construction machine with a long moldboard blade used to create a flat surface during
the grading process. The grader has a front and rear axle, with the engine and operator station
located on the rear module.
The grader is articulated between the front and rear axles. Articulation allows the grader to bend at a
pivot point between the front and rear modules. Steering is achieved through the front tires, together
with front tire lean, and frame articulation.
The moldboard is attached to the turn circle suspended from the front frame by an “A” frame drawbar
positioned by a series of hydraulic cylinders.
Power from a Caterpillar C3.4B Tier 4 Final or Cummins QSF3.8 Tier 4 Final engine is delivered
through a full power shift transmission, with torque converter, to the rear axle, equipped with a
torque proportioning rear differential, and through tandem cases to the rear wheels.
An optional dozer blade, ripper and scarifier implements and cab, with heater and optional air
conditioning are available. The cab is ROPS and FOPS certified.
