Operator Environment
The Spirit Delta cab gives the operator a safe and efficient place to work from. The cab design is the end result of a major analysis of operators' working conditions. The main objective is to be able to offer optimum visibility with no forward corner posts and huge glass areas unobstructed so as to keep the field of vision clear. The ergonomically designed instrument panel is extremely comfortable and gently rounded. This area has also been designed with an unobstructed clear view of all important info, in order to keep the operator working as effectively as she or he could.
Vibration levels and noise levels are kept low due to the insulated mounting on the chassis. In order to maintain an optimal working position, the operator seat and hydraulic controls are all independently adjustable. Furthermore, the steering wheel and related panel is adjustable for utmost comfort. There are 2 ergonomically positioned multi-functioned and simple to operate levers that are offered for the window washers, horn, gear changing and windscreen wipers.
To ensure a comfy cab temperature for the operator, a ventilation/heating unit provides incoming air which is replaced by an air filter. This is easily replaceable and the unit slides out afterwards to make serviceability an easy option. The machine has a robust 3-speed fan for defrosting, recirculation, heating and cooling. As an additional option, air conditioning can be fitted.
Instrumentation
In the Spirit Delta, the instrument panel has logically grouped units which are all accessible. Standard instrumentation includes: high coolant temperature, low brake pressure, low engine and gearbox lubrication oil pressure, warning lamps, high gearbox oil temperature and applied parking brake. Moreover, gauges display values for operating time, fuel quantity, gearbox oil pressure and engine coolant.
The ECS or also called Electronic Control System monitoring is amongst the key options on the 8 to 10 tonne trucks. These units make it easier to supervise the machine. All of the monitoring functions are handled by the ECS and incorporated by this system. The single warning lamp and the full text display show any errors which occur and their current values.
