ORIENTATION
The NORAM 65ET motor grader is an articulated grader designed
for moving material using a moldboard mounted underneath
between the front and rear wheels. Options are available for front
and rear mounted attachments to compliment the use of the mid-
mounted moldboard.
References will be made throughout this manual to describe
location and direction. Unless otherwise specified, reference to
direction is from the operator's seat.
TERMINOLOGY
Front and rear modules are separated at the articulation pins in front of the cab. The moldboard is suspended from the
front frame through a series of hydraulic cylinders and a circle. The circle is rotated by a gearbox. Load is transferred
through a draw bar attached to the front frame.
Articulation allows the motor grader to bend at a pivot point between the front and rear modules. Steering is also
available through the front tires. Additional control is provided by front tire lean.
The engine power is delivered through the transmission, rear axle and tandem cases to the rear wheels. A torque
converter controls power delivery into the transmission.
