Sound Levels
Interior Cab 72 dB(A)
• 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.
• 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.
• The air conditioning system on this machine contains the
uorinated greenhouse gas refrigerant R134a (Global Warming
Potential = 1430). The system contains 1.1 kg of refrigerant
which has a CO2 equivalent of 1.716 metric tonnes.
