Full-body vibrations:

Information on vibration

This machine is equipped with an operator's seat that complies with EN ISO 7096:2000 requirements.

Hand/arm vibrations: Hand-arm vibrations do not exceed 2.5 m/s² (98.42 in/s²).

When the machine is used in accordance with its designated use, full-body vibrations vary from less than 0.5 m/s² (19.69 in/s²) up to a momentary maximum value.

When calculating the vibration values in accordance with ISO/TR 25398:2006, you are advised to use the values specified in the table. Here the actual conditions of use must be taken into account.

Wheel loaders and teleloaders are classified according to their operating weight.
