Sound And Vibration Cab
Specification	D6N
Sound Level Information (1)	The operator Equivalent Sound Pressure Level (Leq) is 81.5 dB(A) when ANSI/SAE J1166 FEB2008 is used to measure the value for an enclosed cab. The measurement was conducted at 100% of the maximum engine cooling fan speed. This is a work cycle sound exposure level. The cab was properly installed and maintained. The test was conducted with the cab doors and the cab windows closed
Sound Level Information (2)	Hearing protection may be needed when the machine is operated with an open operator station for extended periods or in a noisy environment. Hearing protection may be needed when the machine is operated with a cab that is not properly maintained, or when the doors and windows are open for extended periods or in a noisy environment
Sound Level Information (3)	The average exterior sound pressure level is 85.5 dB(A) when the SAE J88 FEB2006 Constant Speed Moving Test procedure is used to measure the value for the standard machine. The measurement was conducted under the following conditions: distance of 15 m (49.2 ft) and the machine moving forward in an intermediate gear ratio
Specification Name Too Long	If equipped, the certification label 110 dB(A) is used to verify the environmental sound certification of the machine to the requirements of the European Union. The value that is listed on the label indicates the guaranteed exterior sound power level (LWA) at the time of manufacture for the conditions that are specified in 2000/14/EC. Your machine may have a different value

The measurement was conducted under the following conditions: distance of 15 m (49.2 ft) and the machine moving forward in an intermediate gear ratio
Specification Name Too Long	If equipped, the certification label 110 dB(A) is used to verify the environmental sound certification of the machine to the requirements of the European Union. The value that is listed on the label indicates the guaranteed exterior sound power level (LWA) at the time of manufacture for the conditions that are specified in 2000/14/EC. Your machine may have a different value
