Configuration and source notes

  • The brochure is printed 22-12D; this does not establish production years or a serial range.
  • The PDF uses two-page spreads; page locators refer to one-based viewer pages.
  • Operating weights follow Open CAB / Closed CAB heading order and include an operator weighing 165 lbs.
  • Published numerical strings are retained exactly; their units are printed in the table row headings. No values are calculated.

Source footnotes
