SOUND PERFORMANCE
With cooling fan speed at maximum value:
Exterior Sound Power Level (ISO 6395:2008) – 109 dB(A)
With cooling fan speed at 70% of maximum value:
Operator Sound Pressure Level (ISO 6396:2008) – 79 dB(A)
• When properly installed and maintained, the cab offered by Caterpillar, when tested with
doors and windows closed according to ANSI/SAE J1166 OCT98, meets OSHA and MSHA
