LEVEL OF VIBRATIONS TRANSMITTED
TO THE OPERATOR
The vibration level to the operator depends mainly
on the conditions of the ground where the machine
is being operated and on the use conditions of the
machine and its equipment.
The exposition to vibrations can be remarkably
reduced if the recommendations here below are fol-
lowed:
- use equipment suitable for the machine and the
type of work to be carried out;
- adjust and lock the seat in the correct position;
regularly check for the seat suspensions and carry
out adjustments or maintenance as required;
- carry out regularly the ordinary maintenance of the
machine at scheduled intervals;
- operate the attachment evenly, avoiding sudden
motion or extreme shocks, if possible;
- avoid, as far as possible, to travel on particularly
uneven soils or the impact with possible obsta-
cles.
This machine is equipped with an operator’s seat in
compliance with ISO 7096: 2000 standard.
This guarantees that the operator’s body exposures
to vibrations respect the requirements for protection
against vibrations when the machine is used
according to its destination as explained in this man-
ual.
The weighted average acceleration value to which
the operator’s arms are subjected does not exceed
2.5 m/s
2
(8.20 ft/s
2
).
The weighted average acceleration value to which
the operator’s body is subjected does not exceed
0.5 m/s
2
(1.64 ft/s
2
). These results have been
obtained by using an acceleration gauge during the
ditches excavation works.
