Sound Performance
Performance:
• The operator sound exposure Leq (equivalent
sound pressure level) measured according
to the work cycle procedures specified in
ANSI/SAE J1166 OCT 98 is 73 dB(A), at
standard ambient, for the cab offered by
Caterpillar, when properly installed and
maintained and tested with the doors and
windows closed.
• Hearing protection may be needed when
operating with an open operator station and
cab (when not properly maintained or doors/
windows open) for extended periods or in
noisy environment.
