Operator’s console shall be ergonomic design and allow adjustment to fit the needs of multiple operators.

The operator’s platform area shall include a hardtop sun canopy with adjustable sunshades, safety railings, skid resistant surfaces and hand holds for entering and exiting the operator’s station.

Vandal protection shall be provided for console cover, controls and engine compartment.

The following information, indicators and controls shall be provided in the operator’s console:

· Engine

· Hour meter

· Voltmeter

· Fuel level

· Engine oil pressure

· Engine coolant temperature

· Engine air filter restriction

· Hydraulic oil filter restriction
