Operator Presence System. The OperatorPresence System keeps the parking brakeengaged and hydraulic implementsdisabled until the operator is seated andthe machine is ready for safe operation.

Secondary Steering System. The standardsecondary steering system automaticallyengages an electric hydraulic pump incase of a drop in steering pressure,allowing the operator to steer themachine to a stop.

Speed Sensitive Steering. The steeringsoftware automatically provides aninfinitely variable ratio between thejoystick and the steer tires, resultingin less sensitive steering as the groundspeed increases.

Low Sound and Vibration Levels.Isolation mounts for the cab, engine andtransmission maximize operator comfortand help to minimize sound and vibration.These modifications provide a quieter andmore comfortable working environment,optimizing operator focus.

Hydraulic Lockout. A simple switchlocated in the cab disables all implementfunctions while still providing machinesteering control. This safety feature isespecially useful while the machineis roading.

Brake Systems. Brakes are located ateach tandem wheel to eliminate brakingloads on the power train. In addition, thebrake systems are redundant and utilizeaccumulators to enable stopping in caseof machine failure, further increasingoperational safety.

Drop-Down Rear Lights. Optional drop-down lights fold out from the rear of themachine. This creates a wider, lowerprofile to be better aligned withpassenger cars.

Rearview Camera. Visibility is furtherenhanced with an optional Work AreaVision System (WAVS) through a178 mm (7 in) LCD color monitor in thecab. Developed specifically for ruggedapplications, this durable camera improvesproductivity and increases operatorawareness of surroundings.

Steel Tandem Walkways.Perforated raised steel walkways coverthe tandems. This provides a sturdyplatform for standing and walking, andadditional protection for the brake lines.

ROPS/FOPS Cab. Isolation mounted tothe frame to reduce vibration and sound,the integral ROPS/FOPS structure meetsISO and SAE criteria for operatorprotection.

Circle Drive Slip Clutch. This standardfeature protects the drawbar, circle andmoldboard from shock loads when theblade encounters an immovable object.It also reduces the possibility of abruptdirectional changes in poor tractionconditions, protecting the machine,operator and surroundings.

Blade Lift Accumulators. This optionalfeature uses accumulators to help absorbimpact loads to the moldboard by allowingvertical blade travel. Blade liftaccumulators reduce unnecessary wearand help to avoid unintended machinemovement for increased operator safety.

Engine Shutoff Switch. An engine shutoffswitch is located at ground level on theleft rear of the machine, allowing anyonenearby to shut it down in case of anemergency.

Electrical Disconnect Switch. A batterydisconnect switch, located inside the leftrear enclosure, provides ground-levellockout of the electrical system to preventinadvertent starting of the machine.

Fenders. To help reduce objects flyingfrom the tires, as well as build-up of mud,snow and debris, optional fenders canbe added.

Additional Safety Features. The 160M hasmany additional standard safety features,including laminated glass on the frontwindows and doors, lockable doors, back-up lights and sounding alarm, black glare-reducing paint on the front frame andengine enclosure, and convenientlylocated grab rails for added safety.
