ISO 10968:2020 pdf download.Earth-moving machinery — Operator’s controls
1 Scope
This document specifies requirements and guidelines for the operator’s controls on earth-moving machinery as defined in ISO 6165, in as far as those controls relate to any direct-control machine. The recommendations given for finger-, hand- and foot-operated controls are not intended to prevent usage of other types of controls, control locations or control movements. This document is not applicable to devices which are not directly related to machine control.
NOTE For remote operator control of machines, see ISO 15817.

3 Terms and definitions
For the purposes of this document, the following terms and definitions apply.
ISO and IEC maintain terminological databases for use in standardization at the following addresses:
— ISO Online browsing platform: available at https:// www .iso .org/ obp
— IEC Electropedia: available at http:// www .electropedia .org/
3.1 control
device actuated by an operator to execute a machine response (3.4)
3.2 primary control
control (3.1) that is used frequently or continuously by the operator
Note 1 to entry: The primary controls are the following:
a) For the base machine (3.5):
— steering;
— clutch or inch pedal;
— gear selection;
— speed (engine or ground speed);
— travel direction;
— brakes;
— swing of upper structure.
b) For equipment (3.6):
— swing operation;
— raising/lowering operation (e.g. loader lift arm, dozer blade or ripper, excavator boom, side boom winch,
rope excavator winch);
— boom/arm extending/retracting;
— rearward/forward motion;
— boom side shift (e.g. side shift carriage of the backhoe linkage);
— boom fold/unfold;
— boom offset.
c) For attachments (3.7):
— attachment operation (e.g. bucket, tiltrotator, clamshell, forks);
— rotation operation (e.g. tiltrotator where the position of the attachment is changed as opposed to the functional rotation of a tool as in an auger);
— tilting operation;
— dump/curl operation.
