Lock Lever
Locks the hydraulic
pressure to prevent
unintentional move-
ment. Neutral start
function only allows
machine to be start-
ed in lock position.
Low Cab Noise
The newly-designed cab is highly rigid
and has excellent sound absorption
ability. Thorough improvement of noise
source reduction and use of low noise
engine, hydraulic equipment, and air
conditioner allows this machine to
generate a low level of noise.
Low Vibration with Cab Damper
Mounting
PC400-8 uses viscous damper mount-
ing for cab that incorporates longer
stroke and the addition of a spring.
The new cab damper mounting
combined with high rigidity deck aids
vibration reduction at operator seat.
Wide Newly-designed Cab
Newly-designed wide spacious cab
includes seat with reclining backrest.
The seat height and longitudinal incli-
nation are easily adjusted using a pull-
up lever. You can set the appropriate
operational posture of armrest together
with the console.
Reclining the seat further enables you
to place it into the fully flat state with
the headrest attached.
Pressurized Cab
Optional air conditioner, air filter and a
higher internal air pressure (
+6.0 mm
Aq
+0.2"Aq) prevent external dust
from entering the cab.

(optional)
Enables you
to easily and
precisely set
cab atmos-
phere with
the instru-
ments on the large LCD.
The bi-level control function keeps the
operator's head and feet cool and
warm respectively. This improved air
flow function keeps the inside of the
cab comfortable throughout the year.

Cab Dedicated to Hydraulic Excavator
The cab is designed specifically for hydraulic excavators and
gains reinforced strength from the pipe-structured cab frame-
work. The cab framework provides the high durability and
impact resistance with very high impact absorbency. The
seat belt keeps the operator in the safety of the cab during a
rollover.
