Operator Environment
Operators have an efficient and safe place to work from in the Spirit Delta cab. The particular design of the cab comes as a result of extensive research into the operators working conditions. The main goal is to be able to offer optimum visibility with no forward corner posts and big 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 essential information, in order to keep the operator working as efficiently as possible.
Thanks to the insulated mounting to the chassis, vibration levels and overall noise levels are kept low. The controller's seat and the hydraulic controls are all independently adjustable to be able to maintain an optimum working position. Furthermore, the steering wheel and related panel is adjustable for utmost comfort. There are 2 easy to operate, ergonomically positioned multi-functioned levers which are provided for gear changing, windscreen wipers, the window washers and horn.
A ventilation/heating unit ensure a comfy cab temperature for the operator. The incoming air 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 defrosting, recirculation, cooling and heating. As an extra option, air conditioning can be fitted.
Instrumentation
In the Spirit Delta, the instrument panel has logically grouped units which are all within easy reach. Basic instrumentation consists of: low brake pressure, high coolant temperature, low engine and gearbox lubrication oil pressure, warning lamps, high gearbox oil temperature and applied parking brake. In addition, gauges display values for gearbox oil pressure, engine coolant, fuel quantity and operating time.
One of the important options the 8 to 10 tonne trucks can be equipped with is the ECS or Electronic Control System monitoring. This allows for easy supervision of the model. All of the monitoring functions are handled by the ECS or Electronic Control System and incorporated by this system. The single warning lamp and the full text display show any errors which occur and their current values.
