Caterpillar — The European Union Physical Agents (Vibration) Directive 2002/ 44/EC

30 Safety Section (D6T LGP (OEM)) WEBM1000 Sound Information and Vibration Information “The European Union Physical Agents (Vibration) Directive 2002/ 44/EC” Vibration Data for Track-Type Tractors Information Concerning Hand/Arm Vibration Level When the machine is operated according to the intended use, the hand/arm vibration of this machine is below 2.5 meter per second squared. Information Concerning Whole Body Vibration Level This section provides vibration data and a method for estimating the vibration level for track-type tractors. Note: Vibration levels are influenced by many different parameters. Many items are listed below.

Operator training, behavior, mode and stress Job site organization, preparation, environment, weather and material Machine type, quality of the seat, quality of the suspension system, attachments and condition of the equipment It is not possible to get precise vibration levels for this machine. The expected vibration levels can be estimated with the information in Table 3 in order to calculate the daily vibration exposure. A simple evaluation of the machine application can be used. Estimate the vibration levels for the three vibration directions. For typical operating conditions, use the average vibration levels as the estimated level.

With an experienced operator and smooth terrain, subtract the Scenario Factors from the average vibration level in order to obtain the estimated vibration level. For aggressive operations and severe terrain, add the Scenario Factors to the average vibration level in order to obtain the estimated vibration level. Note: All vibration levels are in meter per second squared.
