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 study of operators' working conditions. The most important objective is to offer optimum visibility with no forward corner posts and huge glass areas unobstructed to keep the field of vision clear. The instrumental panel is ergonomically designed and is really comfortable and gently rounded. This particular area has also been designed with an unobstructed clear view of all important information, in order to keep the operator functioning as effectively as she or he could.
Noise levels and vibration controls are kept low due to the insulated mounting on the chassis. So that they can maintain an optimal working position, the hydraulic controls and operator seat are all independently adjustable. In addition, the steering wheel and related panel is adjustable for utmost comfort. There are 2 simple to operate, multi-functioned ergonomically positioned levers which are offered for the window washers, horn, windscreen wipers and gear changing.
To ensure a comfortable 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 equipment has a robust 3-speed fan for recirculation, defrosting, cooling and heating. As an additional option, air conditioning could be fitted.
Instrumentation
In the Spirit Delta, the instrument panel has logically grouped units that are all within easy reach. Standard instrumentation includes: low brake pressure, high coolant temperature, warning lamps, low engine and gearbox lubrication oil pressure, applied parking brake and high gearbox oil temperature. In addition, gauges display values for fuel quantity, operating time, engine coolant and gearbox oil pressure.
Among the important options the 8 to 10 tonne trucks can be outfitted with is the ECS or also called Electronic Control System monitoring. This enables for easy supervision of the unit. All of the monitoring functions are handled by the ECS or Electronic Control System and incorporated by this system. The full text display and the single warning lamp show any errors which occur and their current values.
