Sound Level Information
Hearing protection may be needed when the machine is operated with an open operator station for extended periods or in a noisy environment. Hearing protection may be needed when the machine is operated with a cab that is not properly maintained or when the doors and windows are open for extended periods or in a noisy environment.Sound Level Information for Machines in European Union Countries and in Countries that Adopt the "EU Directives"
The exterior sound power levels are 100 dB(A) for the M314F and 101 dB(A) for the M316F when "2000/14/EC" procedure is used for the standard machine.The dynamic operator sound pressure level is 71 dB(A) when "2000/14/EC" is used to measure the value for an enclosed cab. The cab was properly installed and maintained. The test was conducted with the cab doors and the cab windows closed."The European Union Physical Agents (Vibration) Directive 2002/44/EC"
Vibration Data for Wheel-Type Excavator
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-type excavators.Note: Vibration 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 equipmentIt 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.

This publication uses data that is measured by international institutes, organizations, and manufacturers. This document provides information about the whole body exposure of operators of earthmoving equipment. Refer to Operation and Maintenance Manual, SEBU8257, "The European Union Physical Agents (Vibration) Directive 2002/44/EC" for more information about machine vibration levels.The Caterpillar suspension seat meets the criteria of "ISO 7096". This represents vertical vibration level under severe operating conditions.Guidelines for Reducing
