Larger floorspace and greater visibility improve operator's

comfort. The human-engineered lay-out of the cabin with centrally
placed controls, meters and gauges reduce operator fatigue and
boost operating efficiency. The "walk-through" design enables
easy entrance into the cabin. A sliding windscreen, opening right
hand window and ceiling hatch provide ample ventilation within
the cabin.

The servo assisted wrist-

control "joy-sticks" with
armrest provide exceptional
working comfort and precise
operation.

The adjustable seat keeps

the operator fatigue-free
throughout the day.

The pedal, situated

at the left side of the
storage compartment
allows the driver to
increase the travel
speed of the PC 40-6.

The ergonomically mounted

monitoring panel controls several
parameters to ensure safe machine
operation. lf any malfunction occurs
the operator is immediately alerted.
The engine is stopped by simply
turning the ignition key to "off" as with
any family car. Extra small swing radius and convenient
