Whole Body Vibration

The weighted root mean square acceleration to which the whole body is subjected ranges from 0.27 m/s2 to 1.35 m/s2 as measured on a representative machine during typical operations and analyzed in accordance with ISO 2631-1. During the same operations, the weighted root means square hand-arm vibration was less then 2.5 m/s2 when analyzed in accordance with ISO 5349. These acceleration values depend on the roughness of the ground, the speed at which the sprayer is operated, the maintenance of the machine, the settings of the suspended seat, and the operator’s experience, body weight, and operational habits.
