OPERATOR’S CAB AND ANTEROOM

OPERATOR’S CAB AND ANTEROOM

The Operator’s Cab and Anteroom extend from the right front corner of the rotating frame. This position provides the operator with an unobstructed view of the pit and spoil area, plus the boom point and bucket. The cab and anteroom area provides a controlled environment for the operator, crew, and electronic equipment.

Operator’s Cab - Anteroom

The cab contains the controls, switches, and indicators necessary for machine operation. These machine controls have been positioned in the cab to provide the operator with comfortable operation of the primary controls and easy access to all the secondary controls.

The operator’s cab has a phone system connected to receivers located at strategic points inside the machinery house and around the machine. This system provides easy communication between persons in the cab and elsewhere about the machine.

A combination heater-defroster/air conditioning unit is mounted on the cab roof. Ducts from it to the floor area surround the operator for comfort and visibility. The control for this unit is on forward side of the operator’s cab rear wall.
