Safety - Safety instructions
1 - 22 07/2012Original operating instructions
Minimizing noise Casings, coverings, cab doors and windows are to be kept closed
during use to decrease noise levels (as long as this conforms with
safety requirements). Operating instruments are to be used gently.
Noise emissions Continuous sound pressure level (LpA) of the machine, measured at
the driver´s seat with the cab closed, is below 80 dB. The wearing of
ear protection is thus not absolutely required. The measurements are
taken according to Directive 2000/14/EC.
Note
If the continuous sound pressure level (LpA) of the machine, measured
at the driver´s seat with the cab closed, is between 80 and 85 dB:
Warning sign in the cab (specification of dB)
Ear protection within reach in the cab
Vibrations The machine operator is protected against mechanical vibration with a
shock-cushioning seat that can be adjusted for his/her weight. The seat
height and backrest are adjustable. The optimal work position can be
set for each individual driver. The alarm values for hand-arm vibration
(2.5 m/s
2
) and for full-body vibration (0.5 m/s
2
) shall not be exceeded.
