Sound Information and Vibration Information
Hearing protec
tion may be needed when the
machineisoperatedwithanopenoperatorstationfor
extended periods or in a noisy environment. Hearing
protection ma
y be needed when the machine is
operated with a cab that is not properly maintained, or
when the doors and windows are open for extended
periods or in
a noisy environment.
The exterior sound pressure level for the standard
machine is 7
8dB(A). This measurement was obtained
with the test procedures that are specified in “SAE
J88 FEB2006”. The measurement was obtained
under the fo
llowing conditions: distance of 15 m
(49.2 ft), machine in middle speed range, and moving.

The infor
mation below applies to machine
configurations that only have the “CE mark” on the
product information plate (PIN).
Machines with Standard Cab
The d yna
mic operator sound pressure level is 79
dB(A) when “ISO 6396: 2008” is used to measure
the value for an enclosed cab. The cab was properly
instal
led and maintained. The test was conducted
with the cab doors and the cab windows closed.
Machin
es with Logging Cab
The dynamic operator sound pressure level is 80
dB(A)
when “ISO 6396: 2008” is used to measure
the value for an enclosed cab. The cab was properly
installed and maintained. The test was conducted
with t
he cab doors and the cab windows closed.

Information Concerning Hand/Arm Vibration
Lev
el
When the machine is operated according to the
in
tended use, the hand/arm vibration of this machine
is below 2.5 meter per second squared.
Information Co
ncerning Whole Body Vibration
Level
This section p
rovides vibration data and a method for
estimating the vibration level for track-type tractors.
Note: Vibrat
ion levels are influenced by many
different parameters. Many items are listed below.
•
Operator tr
aining, behavior, mode, and stress
•
Job site organization, preparation, environment,
weather, a n
dmaterial
•
Machine type, quality of the seat, quality of the
suspensio
n system, attachments, and condition of
the equipment
It is not po
ssible to get precise vibration levels for
this machine. The expected vibration levels can be
estimatedwiththeinformationinTable1inorder
to calcul
ate the daily vibration exposure. A simple
evaluation of the machine application can be used.
Estimate
the vibration levels for the three vibration
directions. For typical operating conditions, use the
average vibration levels as the estimated level. With
an exper
ienced operator and smooth terrain, subtract
the Scenario Factors from the average vibration level
in order to obtain the estimated vibration level. For
aggress
ive operations and severe terrain, add the
Scenario Factors to the average vibration level in
order to obtain the estimated vibration level.
Note: All vibration levels are in meter per second
squared.
