Sound And Vibration - Cab

Sound Level Information (1)The operator Equivalent Sound Pressure Level (Leq) is 81.5 dB(A) when ANSI/SAE J1166 FEB2008 is used to measure the value for an enclosed cab. The measurement was conducted at 100% of the maximum engine cooling fan speed. This is a work cycle sound exposure level. The cab was properly installed and maintained. The test was conducted with the cab doors and the cab windows closed.The operator Equivalent Sound Pressure Level (Leq) is 81.5 dB(A) when ANSI/SAE J1166 FEB2008 is used to measure the value for an enclosed cab.
