hole-body vibrations
Whole-body vibration emission on construction machinery are
affected by a number of factors, such as working mode, ground
conditions, speed, and so on.
To a large extent the operator can influence the actual vibration
levels, because the operator controls the speed of the machine,
its working mode, the travel path, and so on.
Therefore, the result can be a range of different vibration levels
for the same type of machine. For cab specifications, see page

Use the proper type and size of machine, with optional
equipment and attachments for the application.
Keep the terrain and haul roads in good condition.
- Remove any large rocks or obstacles.
- Fill any ditches and holes.
- Provide equipment and schedule time to maintain terrain
conditions.
Adjust the speed and travel path to minimize the vibration level.
- Drive around obstacles and rough terrain conditions.
- Reduce the speed when it is necessary to go over rough
terrain.
Maintain machines according to the manufacturer's
recommendations.
- Track tensions. (crawler machine only)
- Tire pressures. (wheel machine only)
- Brake and steering systems. (wheel machine only)
- Controls, hydraulic system and linkages.
Keep the seat maintained and adjusted.
- Adjust the seat and its suspension according to the weight
and size of the operator.
- Inspect and maintain the seat suspension and adjustment
mechanisms.
- Use the seat belt and adjust it correctly.
