The 322C FM operator work station is quiet with ergonomic control placement and convenient adjustments, low lever and pedal effort, ergonomic seat design and highly efficient ventilation.
Five hydraulic pump flows and pressure settings can be preset on the monitor, eliminating the need to adjust the hydraulics every time a tool is changed and instantly providing the operator with the correct amount of flow and pressure for each tool.
Redesigned cab layout emphasizes simplicity and easy usage. Right-hand wall and console provide easy access to all switches, dials and controls.
A new seat with a two-tone color offers two types of cushions-soft and firm-for operator comfort. The reclining knob is located at the right-side of the seat for easier reclining adjustment.
For simpler operation, work mode and power mode switches have been eliminated. Instead, the automatic boom and swing priority function selects the best mode, based on joystick movement.
New, compact monitor enhances viewing while displaying a variety of easy to read and understand language-based information.
Newly designed using asymmetrical steel tubing for improved resistance to fatigue and vibration.

322C FM service and maintenance intervals have been extended to reduce machine service time and increase machine availability.
The left rear service door allows easy access to the engine radiator and the oil cooler. The oil cooler swings out horizontally for easy cleaning. A reserve tank and drain cock are attached to the radiator for simplified maintenance.
The air filter features a double-element construction for superior cleaning efficiency. When the air cleaner plugs, a warning is displayed on the monitor sccreen inside the cab.
The design and layout of the 322C FM was made with the service technician in mind. Many service locations are easily accessible at ground level allowing critical maintenance to get done quickly and efficiently.
A service door on the right side of the upper structure allows ground-level access to the pump and pilot filter.
the hydraulic return filter, a capsule filter, is situated outside the hydraulic tank. This filter prevents contaminants from entering the system when hydraulic oil is changed and keeps the operation clean.
The 322C is equipped with S•O•Ssm sampling ports and hydraulic test ports for the hydraulic system, engine oil and for coolant. A test connection for the Electronic Technician (ET) is located behind the cab.
Anti-Skid punched-star plate covers top of storage box and upper structure to prevent slipping during maintenance. The plate can be removed for cleaning.
Grease lubricated seals protect the track link and deliver long track link pin and bushing inner wear life.
Engine radiator fan is completely enclosed by fine wire mesh, reducing the risk of an accident.
A concentrated remote greasing block on the boom delivers grease to hard-to-reach locations.
