Sound Level Information
The operator Equivalent Sound Pressure Level (Leq) is 72 dB(A) when "ANSI/SAE J1166 FEB2008" is used to measure the value for an enclosed cab. 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 declared sound levels listed above include both measurement uncertainty and uncertainty due to production variation.
Hearing protection may be needed when the machine is operated with a cab that is not properly maintained or when the doors or windows are open for extended periods or in a noisy environment.
The average exterior sound pressure level is 83 dB(A) when the "SAE J88 FEB2006 - Constant Speed Moving Test" procedure is used to measure the value for the standard machine. The measurement was conducted under the following conditions: distance of 15 m (49.2 ft) and “the machine moving forward in an intermediate gear ratio”.

Vibration Data for Wheel Loaders
Information Concerning Hand/Arm Vibration Level
When the machine is operated according to the intended use, the hand/arm vibration of this machine is below 2.5 meter per second squared.
Information Concerning Whole Body Vibration Level
This section provides vibration data and a method for estimating the vibration level for wheel loaders.
Note: V)bration levels are influenced by many different parameters. Many items are listed below.
• Operator training, behavior, mode, and stress
• Job site organization, preparation, environment, weather, and material
• Machine type, quality of the seat, quality of the suspension system, attachments, and condition of the equipment
It is not possible to get precise vibration levels for this machine. The expected vibration levels can be estimated with the information in Table 1 to calculate the daily vibration exposure. A simple evaluation of the machine application can be used.
Estimate the vibration levels for the three vibration directions. For typical operating conditions, use the average vibration levels as the estimated level. With an experienced operator and smooth terrain, subtract the Scenario Factors from the average vibration level to obtain the estimated vibration level. For aggressive operations and severe terrain, add the Scenario Factors to the average vibration level to obtain the estimated vibration level.
Note: All vibration levels are in meter per second squared.

Equipment Lowering with Engine Stopped
SMCS - 7000
Before lowering any equipment with the engine stopped, clear the area around the equipment of all personnel. The procedure to use will vary with the type of equipment to be lowered. Keep in mind most systems use a high pressure fluid or air to raise or lower equipment. The procedure will cause high pressure air, hydraulic, or some other media to be released in order to lower the equipment. Wear appropriate personal protective equipment and follow the established procedure in the Operation and Maintenance Manual, "Equipment Lowering with Engine Stopped" in the Operation Section of the manual.

Slope Operation
SMCS - 7000
-12/09/2019
Machines that are operating safely in various applications depend on these criteria: the machine model, configuration, machine maintenance, operating speed of the machine, conditions of the terrain, fluid levels, and tire inflation pressures. The most important criteria are the skill and judgment of the operator.
A well trained operator that follows the instructions in the Operation and Maintenance Manual has the greatest impact on stability. Operator training provides a person with the following abilities: observation of working and environmental conditions, feel for the machine, identification of potential hazards and operating the machine safely by making appropriate decisions.
When you work on side hills and when you work on slopes, consider the following important points:
Speed of travel - At higher speeds, forces of inertia tend to make the machine less stable.
Roughness of terrain or surface - The machine may be less stable with uneven terrain.
Direction of travel - Avoid operating the machine across the slope. When possible, operate the machine up the slopes and operate the machine down the slopes. Place the heaviest end of the machine uphill when you are working on an incline.
Mounted equipment - Balance of the machine may be impeded by the following components: equipment that is mounted on the machine, machine configuration, weights, and counterweights.
Nature of surface - Ground that has been newly filled with earth may collapse from the weight of the machine.
Surface material - Rocks and moisture of the surface material may drastically affect the machine's traction and machine's stability. Rocky surfaces may promote side slipping of the machine.
Slippage due to excessive loads - This may cause downhill tracks or downhill tires to dig into the ground, which will increase the angle of the machine.
Width of tracks or tires - Narrower tracks or narrower tires further increase the digging into the ground which causes the machine to be less stable.
Implements attached to the drawbar - This may decrease the weight on the uphill tracks. This may also decrease the weight on the uphill tires. The decreased weight will cause the machine to be less stable.
Height of the working load of the machine - When the working loads are in higher positions, the stability of the machine is reduced.
Operated equipment - Be aware of performance features of the equipment in operation and the effects on machine stability.
Operating techniques - Keep all attachments or pulled loads low to the ground for optimum stability.
Machine systems have limitations on slopes - Slopes can affect the proper function and operation of the various machine systems. These machine systems are needed for machine control.
Note: Operators with lots of experience and proper equipment for specific applications are also required. Safe operation on steep slopes may also require special machine maintenance. Refer to Lubricant Viscosities and Refill Capacities in this manual for the proper fluid level requirements and intended machine use. Fluids must be at the correct levels to ensure that systems will operate properly on a slope.

Engine Stopping
SMCS - 1000; 7000
Do not stop the engine immediately after the machine has been operated under load. Stopping the engine immediately can cause overheating and accelerated wear of engine components.
After the machine is parked and the parking brake is engaged, allow the engine to run at low idle for 5 minutes before shutdown. Running the engine allows hot areas of the engine to cool gradually.

Only operate the machine while you are sitting in a seat. The seat belt must be fastened while you operate the machine. Only operate the controls while the engine is running.
While you operate the machine slowly in an open area, check for proper operation of all controls and all protective devices.
Before you move the machine, make sure that no one will be endangered.
Do not allow riders on the machine unless the machine has an additional seat with a seat belt. The rider must be seated and the seat belt must be fastened.
Never use the work tool for a work platform.
Note any needed repairs during machine operation. Report any needed repairs.
Carry work tools at approximately 40 cm (15 inches) above ground level.
Do not go close to the edge of a cliff, an excavation, or an overhang.
Avoid operating the machine across the slope. When possible, operate the machine up the slopes and down the slopes. If the machine begins to sideslip on a downgrade, immediately remove the load and turn the machine downhill.
Avoid any conditions that can lead to tipping the machine. The machine can tip when you work on hills, on banks, and on slopes. Also, the machine can tip when you cross ditches, ridges, or other unexpected obstructions.
Maintain control of the machine. Do not overload the machine beyond the machine capacity.
Never straddle a wire cable. Never allow other personnel to straddle a wire cable.
Know the maximum dimensions of your machine.
Always keep the Rollover Protective Structure (ROPS) installed during machine operation.
