Whole Body and Hand-Arm Vibration Levels
The weighted root mean square acceleration, to which the whole body is subjected, ranges from 0.57 to 1.06 m/s
2
as measured on a representative m achine during typical operations and analyzed in accordance with ISO 5008.
During the same operations, the weighted root means square hand-arm vibration was less than 1.45 m/s
2
when
analyzed in accordance with ISO 5349. These a cceleration values depend on the roughness of the ground, the
speeds at which the windrower is operated, the operator's experience, weight, and driving habits.
Noise Levels
The A-weigh
ted sound pressure levels inside the operator's station ranged from 70.1 to 73.1 dB(A) as measured
on several r
epresentative machines in accordance with ISO 5131. The sound pressure level depends upon the
engine spee
d and load, field and crop conditions, and the type o f platform used.
