Operator Station. The workstation is
spacious, quiet and comfortable, assuring
high productivity during a long workday.
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. The monitor
is easy to see and maximizes visibility.
Seat. An optional air suspension seat
is available in the 329D. 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.
Climate Control. Positive filtered ventilation
with a pressurized cab is standard. Fresh
air or re-circulated air can be selected with
a switch on the right console.
Hydraulic Activation Control Lever.
For added safety, this lever must be in
the operate position to activate the machine
control functions.
Controls. The 329D uses pilot operated
control levers, positioned so the operator
can operate with arms on the armrests.
The vertical stroke is longer than the
horizontal, reducing operator fatigue.
The control lever grips are shaped to fit
into the operator’s hands. The horn switch
and one-touch low idle switch are
positioned on the left and right grip.
Implement Controls. Easy to handle joy-
sticks with integrated push buttons and
sliding switches control all implement
and swing functions. The sliding switches
provide modulated control for hydro-
mechanical tools and are designed to
increase operator comfort and reduce
operator fatigue.
Skylight. A unique large polycarbonate
skylight provides very good upward
visibility, especially useful in above
ground applications.
Windows. To maximize visibility,
all glass is affixed directly to the cab
eliminating the use of window frames.
Choice of fixed or easy-to-open split
front windshield meet operator
preference and application conditions.
50/50 split front windshield allows
both upper and lower portions to be
stored in an overhead position.
70/30 split front windshield stores
the upper portion above the operator.
The lower front windshield features
a rounded design to maximize
downward visibility and improves
wiper coverage.
Both openable versions feature
a one-touch action release system.
The fixed front windshield is available
in standard duty laminated glass or
high impact resistant laminated glass.
Wiper. Designed to maximize visibility
in poor weather conditions. The parallel
wiper system covers almost the complete
front window without leaving unwiped
areas in the immediate line of sight of
the operator.
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.
