NOISE
The equivalent daily personal noise exposure from this machine, measured at the
operators’ ear, is within the range 78 – 85 DB.
These figures apply to a normal distribution of use where the noise fluctuates between
zero and maximum. The figures assume that the machine is fitted to a tractor with a
quiet cab with the windows closed in a generally open environment. We recommend that
the windows are kept closed.
With the cab rear window open the equivalent daily personal noise exposure will
increase to a figure within the range 82 – 88 DB.
A
t equivalent daily noise exposure levels of between 85 and 90 DB, ear protection is
recommended, it should be used if any window is left open.
