Operator Environment
The Spirit Delta cab gives the operator an efficient and safe place to work from. The cab design is the end result of a major study of operators' working conditions. The most important goal is to provide optimum visibility with no forward corner posts and huge glass areas unobstructed to keep the field of vision clear. The ergonomically designed instrument panel is really comfortable and gently rounded. This area has also been designed with an unobstructed clear view of all essential information, so as to keep the operator functioning as efficiently as possible.
Noise levels and vibration controls are kept low thanks to the insulated mounting on the chassis. So that they can maintain an optimal working position, the operator seat and hydraulic controls are all individually adjustable. Additionally, the steering wheel and related panel is adjustable for maximum comfort. There are 2 multi-functioned ergonomically positioned and simple to operate levers that are offered for the horn, window washers, gear changing and windscreen wipers.
To guarantee a comfortable cab temperature for the operator, a ventilation/heating unit provides incoming air that 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 that are all accessible. Standard instrumentation consists of: high coolant temperature, low brake pressure, warning lamps, low engine and gearbox lubrication oil pressure, applied parking brake and high gearbox oil temperature. Additionally, gauges display values for operating time, fuel quantity, gearbox oil pressure and engine coolant.
The ECS or Electronic Control System monitoring is one of the important options on the 8 to 10 tonne trucks. These models make it easier to supervise the equipment. 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 take place and their current values.
