Operator Presence System. The Operator
Presence System keeps the parking
brake engaged and hydraulic implements
disabled until the operator is seated and
the machine is ready for safe operation.
Secondary Steering System. The standard
secondary steering system automatically
engages an electric hydraulic pump in
case of a drop in steering pressure,
allowing the operator to steer the
machine to a stop.
Speed Sensitive Steering. The steering
software automatically provides an
infinitely variable ratio between the
joystick and the steer tires, resulting
in less sensitive steering as the ground
speed increases.
Low Sound and Vibration Levels.
Isolation mounts for the cab, engine
and transmission maximize operator
comfort and help to minimize sound
and vibration. These modifications
provide a quieter and more comfortable
working environment, optimizing
operator focus.
Hydraulic Lockout. A simple switch
located in the cab disables all implement
functions while still providing machine
steering control. This safety feature is
especially useful while the machine
is roading.
Brake Systems. Brakes are located at
each tandem wheel to eliminate braking
loads on the power train. In addition,
the brake systems are redundant and
utilize accumulators to enable stopping
in case of machine failure, further
increasing operational safety.
Drop-Down Rear Lights. Optional drop-
down lights fold out from the rear of the
machine. This creates a wider, lower
profile to be better aligned with
passenger cars.
Rearview Camera. Visibility is further
enhanced with an optional Work Area
Vision System (WAVS) through a
178 mm (7 in) LCD color monitor
in the cab. Developed specifically for
rugged applications, this durable camera
improves productivity and increases
operator awareness of surroundings.
High Intensity Discharge (HID) Lighting.
Optional HID lights can replace the
standard halogen lamps. The powerful
HID lights are four times brighter,
improving night time visibility and safety.
