Operator Station. The workstation is spacious, quiet and comfortable, assuring high productivity during a long work day. The air conditioner and attachment switches are conveniently located on the right-hand wall, and the key switch and throttle dial are on the right-hand console.

Monitor. The monitor is a full color

400234 pixels Liquid Crystal Display (LCD) graphic display. The monitor angle can be adjusted to minimize sun glare and has the capability of displaying information in twenty-seven different languages.

Pre-Start Check. Prior to starting the machine, the system will check for low fluid levels for the engine oil, hydraulic oil and engine coolant and warn the operator through the monitor in the event display area.

Gage Display. Three analog gauges, fuel level, hydraulic oil temperature and coolant temperature, are displayed in this area.

Event Display. Machine information is displayed in this area with the icon and language.

Multi-information Display. This area is reserved for displaying various information which is convenient for the operator. The “CAT” mark is displayed when no information is available to be displayed.

Standard Cab Equipment. To enhance operator comfort and productivity, the cab includes a lighter, drink holder, coat hook, service meter, literature holder, magazine rack and storage compartment.

Seat. A new optional air suspension seat is available in the 325D. The standard and optional seats provide a variety of adjustments to suit the operator’s size and weight including fore/aft, height and weight. Wide adjustable armrests and a retractable seat belt are also included.

Joystick Control. Joystick controls have low lever effort and are designed to match the operator’s natural wrist and arm position. The operator can operate joystick controls with an arm on the armrest and the horizontal and vertical strokes have been designed to reduce operator fatigue.

Hydraulic Activation Control Lever.

For added safety, this lever must be in the operate position to activate the machine control functions.

Automatic Climate Control.

Fully automatic climate control adjusts temperature and flow, and determines which air outlet is best in each situation with a touch of a button.

Console. Redesigned consoles feature a simple, functional design to reduce operator fatigue, ease of switch operation and excellent visibility. Both consoles have attached armrests with height adjustments.

Cab Exterior. The exterior design uses thick steel tubing along the bottom perimeter of the cab, improving the resistance of fatigue and vibration. This design allows the FOGS to be bolted directly to the cab, at the factory or as an attachment later, enabling the machine to meet specifications and job site requirements.

Cab Mounts. The cab shell is attached to the frame with viscous rubber cab mounts, which dampen vibrations and sound levels while enhancing operator comfort.

Windows. All glass is affixed directly to the cab for excellent visibility eliminating window frames. The upper front windshield opens, closes and stores on the roof above the operator with a one-touch action release system.

Wipers. Pillar-mounted wipers increase the operator’s viewing area and offer continuous and intermittent modes.

Skylight. An enlarged skylight with sunshade provides excellent visibility and ventilation.
