Operator Station
Comfort, visibility and style.
Experience a whole new level of comfort with the spacious E-Series operator
station. The ergonomic, automotive style enhances the operator environment.
A narrow front dash provides excellent visibility to the front bucket. Reduced
vibration keeps operator fatigue low. In-cab storage compartment and lockable
tool and battery box provides ample space for tools and belongings. The operator
station also features an easy-to-read gauge cluster and increased legroom.
Automatic Engine Speed Control
This new feature reduces engine speed when the backhoe is not in use to conserve
fuel and lower environmental noise.
Air Suspension Seat
The standard air suspension seat is adjustable for a greater operating range and
more comfortable ride. A switch allows the seat to be tailored to support differing
body weights. Adjustable seat height accommodates all operators. The deluxe
cab air suspension seat also has an adjustable back support, lumbar support, seat
cushion extension, seat cushion tilt and vertical and angle adjusting armrests.
Improved Air Conditioning
The improved air conditioning system features enhanced air distribution and
performance for a more comfortable work environment. A nearly 20% increase
in air flow combined with improved louver locations provide superior operator
comfort.
Configurations
The 420E operator station is available in 5 options – ROPS Canopy, ROPS Canopy
Plus, Standard Cab, Deluxe Cab and Deluxe Cab with Air Conditioning. See
Standard and Optional Equipment for details.
Controls
Reduce fatigue.
Low effort, ergonomic excavator-
style joystick controls provide smooth
modulation. Thumb rollers provide
convenient, fingertip control of
auxiliary functions, eliminating
pedals on the floor.
One-Touch Low Idle
Located on the right hand joystick,
this button reduces engine speed
to low idle. This new feature will
reduce fuel consumption and
improve communication with
ground crew.
Pattern Selector
The pattern selector switch, located
in the cab, allows the operator to
change from excavator to backhoe
control pattern simply by pressing
a button. This allows the operator
to use the pattern they are most
familiar with to get more done,
faster.
