Operator Station
Enhanced comfort, operation and visibility
Experience a spacious, quiet and comfortable operator station. 
The cab is pressurized to 50 Pa to reduce the amount of dust 
that enters the cab, keeping the operator comfortable the entire 
shift, while assuring high productivity during long work days.
• The comfortable seat adjusts to suit the operator’s size and
weight. Available as an option is the air suspension seat.
• Standard air conditioning with automatic climate control
adjusts temperature and airflow.
• Low effort joystick controls are designed to match the
operator’s natural wrist and arm position. Joysticks can be 
operated with arms on the adjustable armrests. The horizontal 
and vertical strokes are designed to reduce fatigue.
Prestart Check and Monitor Display
Prior to starting the machine, the system checks for low engine 
oil, hydraulic oil and engine coolant fluid levels and warns the 
operator through a color Liquid Crystal Display (LCD) monitor. 
The LCD monitor displays vital operating and performance 
information, in 28 different languages, for operator convenience.
Cab Exterior
The 312D provides a new cab design that allows the Falling 
Object Guard System (FOGS) to be bolted directly to the cab, 
at the factory or as an attachment, enabling the machine to meet 
specifications and job site requirements. The cab shell is attached 
to the frame with viscous rubber cab mounts that dampen 
vibrations and sound levels to enhance operator comfort.
Machine Security System
An optional Machine Security System (MSS) utilizes a 
programmable key, deterring theft, vandalism and unauthorized 
usage. MSS uses electronically coded keys selected by the 
customer to limit usage by individuals or time parameters.
