GUARDS, CAB AND DRIVER’S SEAT
3.5.4 VENTILATION AND HEATING
The ventilation and heating of the cab serve to reduce the oper-
ator’s stress either in the summer and in the winter; these func-
tions also serve to eliminate the condensate from the front
window, thus ensuring visibility during both work and travel.
Ventilation and air change are achieved by means of a 3-speed
fan assembled on the outside of the machine, under the cab.
The air suction is protected by a filter positioned on the right side
of the cab, while the distribution is obtained through a series of
adjustable openings with variable delivery (1), either for the side
flows and for the flows that serve to defrost and defog the front
window.
A radiator having the function to heat the air conveyed into the
cab is installed beside the fan; this is used in the cold season
and receives the hot water necessary for the heat exchange di-
rectly from the engine cooling circuit.
The water supply flow is divided or excluded by means of a tap
operated by the handwheel (2) positioned on the side dash-
board.
The flow intensity is adjusted by rotating the handwheel clock-
wise.
The ventilation and heating system can also provide for the recir-
culation of the air inside the cab, which is obtained by opening
the outlet (3).
This function ensures quicker heating and is very useful when
working in areas where air pollution is considerable (tunnels,
dusty places, small or badly ventilated rooms, etc.).
If the operator deems it necessary, the machine can be
equipped with air conditioning system in addition to the ventila-
tion and heating system. This is particularly useful in the hot
season, when the temperatures are rather high. For further infor-
mation on the use of the air conditioning system, see “3.5.5 AIR
CONDITIONER”.
CAUTION
•
Do not use the air recirculation function for long periods
in rainy or cold days, since this would increase the fog-
ging of the inside of the windows.
