Automatic Climate Control and Air Quality

The new climate control system automatically adjusts the air
temperature and fan speed to maintain the operator’s preferred
climate setting. The cab air filtration system recirculates 90%
of the cab air and is now serviced from outside the cab,
enabling maximum air quality and cab cleanliness. The new
air conditioning sealing system keeps refrigerant contained
preventing system shutdown. Combined together, the operator
remains efficient and productive all shift long due to a
sustainable work environment.

Entry and Exit

Well­placed grab bars and a ladder inclination angle of
10­degrees forward makes the walk into the cab feel more like
a staircase than a ladder. The new wider front hinged door can
be opened and closed while seated, greatly improving ingress
and egress. Two new left­hand and right­hand sliding windows
can also be opened and closed with one hand while seated for
comfortable communication to personnel on the ground.

Visibility

Visibility has been enhanced by removing the steering wheel,
adding a convex windshield, and eliminating two cab posts.
The cab has a clean and clear panoramic view for safe operation
of the machine. External rearview mirrors are mounted on the
cab to provide all around visibility. The external mirrors fold
horizontally to provide fast, safe access to clean the window
from the front platform. Optional heated and powered mirrors
are available to further improve visibility in cold climates.

Rearview Camera

With the new standard rearview camera, visibility is greatly
enhanced. The camera is located in a pocket on the grill to
protect it from damage and the elements. The camera can
be set to activate only when the transmission is in reverse to
help eliminate distractions in the cab, especially when in dark
environments. Two rear work lights are located in the rear
grill and can be activated to illuminate the area behind the
machine in low light conditions.

Control Panels and Park Brake Switch

Two control panels located on the front right ROPS post
consist of large membrane switches making them easy to
activate while wearing gloves. The membrane switches contain
LED’s to denote activation/mode and have a positive feel and
“click” to signal activation. The ISO symbols located on each
membrane switch are molded all the way through to ensure
the image will not wear off over time. A new “help” feature
explains the function of each membrane switch. A two position
rocker switch activates the electro­hydraulic park brake and
is automatically applied upon machine shutdown.
