  • Sound Levels
    Interior Cab
    72 dB(A)
    Note (1)
    The declared dynamic operator sound pressure level is 72 dB(A) when ISO 6396:2008 is used to measure the value for an enclosed cab. The measurement was conducted at 70% of the cooling fan’s maximum speed. The sound level may vary at different cooling fan speeds. The measurement was conducted with the cab doors and the cab windows closed. The cab was properly installed and maintained.
    Note (2)
    Hearing protection may be needed when operating with an open operator station and cab or when not properly maintained or with doors/windows open for extended periods or in noisy environments.
