Operator Environment
Operators have a safe and efficient place to work from in the Spirit Delta cab. The specific design of the cab comes as a result of extensive study into the operators working conditions. The most important objective 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 really 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 effectively as possible.
Thanks to the insulated mounting to the chassis, overall noise levels and vibration levels are kept low. The controller's seat and the hydraulic controls are all individually adjustable that allows you to maintain an optimum working position. Moreover, the steering wheel and related panel is adjustable for maximum comfort. There are 2 ergonomically positioned multi-functioned and simple to operate levers that are provided for the horn, window washers, windscreen wipers and gear changing.
A ventilation/heating unit ensure a comfortable 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 machinery has a robust 3-speed fan for heating, cooling, defrosting and recirculation. 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. Basic instrumentation includes: low engine and gearbox lubrication oil pressure, warning lamps, high coolant temperature, low brake pressure, applied parking brake and high gearbox oil temperature. Moreover, gauges display values for gearbox oil pressure, engine coolant, fuel quantity and operating time.
Among the key options the 8 to 10 tonne trucks could be outfitted with is the ECS or Electronic Control System monitoring. This enables for easy supervision of the model. All of the monitoring functions are handled by the ECS and incorporated by this system. The full text display and the single warning lamp show any errors which occur and their current values.
