Automatic Climate Control and Air Quality
The	new	climate	control	system	automatically	adjusts	the	air	
temperature	and	fan	speed	to	maintain	the	operator’s	preferred	
climate	setting.	The	cab	air	filtration	system	recirculates	90%	
of	the	cab	air	and	is	now	serviced	from	outside	the	cab,	
enabling	maximum	air	quality	and	cab	cleanliness.	The	new	
air	conditioning	sealing	system	keeps	refrigerant	contained	
preventing	system	shutdown.	Combined	together,	these	systems	
help	the	operator	to	remain	efficient	and	productive	all	shift	long.	
Entry and Exit
Wellplaced	grab	bars	and	a	ladder	inclination	angle	of	
10degrees	forward	makes	the	walk	into	the	cab	feel	more	like	
a	staircase	than	a	ladder.	The	new	wider	front	hinged	door	can	
be	opened	and	closed	while	seated,	greatly	improving	ingress	
and	egress.	Two	new	lefthand	and	righthand	sliding	windows	
can	also	be	opened	and	closed	with	one	hand	while	seated	for	
comfortable	communication	to	personnel	on	the	ground.	
Visibility
Visibility	has	been	enhanced	by	removing	the	steering	wheel,	
adding	a	convex	windshield,	and	eliminating	two	cab posts.	
The	cab	has	a	clean	and	clear	panoramic	view	for	safe	operation	
of	the	machine.	External	rearview	mirrors	are	mounted	on	the	
cab	to	provide	all	around	visibility.	The	external	mirrors	fold	
horizontally	to	provide	fast,	safe	access	to	clean	the	window	
from	the	front	platform.	Optional	heated	and	powered	mirrors	
are	available	to	further	improve	visibility	in	cold	climates.	
Rearview Camera
With	the	new	standard	rearview	camera,	visibility	is	greatly	
enhanced.	The	camera	is	located	in	a	pocket	on	the	grill	to	
protect	it	from	damage	and	the	elements.	The	camera	can	
be	set	to	activate	only	when	the	transmission	is	in	reverse	to	
help	eliminate	distractions	in	the	cab,	especially	when	in	dark	
environments.	Two	rear	work	lights	are	located	in	the	rear	
grill	and	can	be	activated	to	illuminate	the	area	behind	the	
machine	in	low	light	conditions.	
Control Panels and Park Brake Switch
Two	control	panels	located	on	the	front	right	ROPS	post	
consist	of	large	membrane	switches	making	them	easy	to	
activate	while	wearing	gloves.	The	membrane	switches	contain	
LED’s	to	denote	activation/mode	and	have	a	positive	feel	and	
“click”	to	signal	activation.	The	ISO	symbols	located	on	each	
membrane	switch	are	molded	all	the	way	through	to	ensure	
the	image	will	not	wear	off	over	time.	A	new	“help”	feature	
explains	the	function	of	each	membrane	switch.	A two	position	
rocker	switch	activates	the	electrohydraulic	park	brake	and	
is	automatically	applied	upon	machine	shutdown.
