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 main objective is to be able to offer 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 specific area has also been designed with an unobstructed clear view of all important information, in order to keep the operator working as efficiently as she or he could.
Vibration levels and noise levels are kept low due to the insulated mounting on the chassis. To be able to maintain an optimal working position, the operator seat and hydraulic controls are all individually adjustable. In addition, the steering wheel and related panel is adjustable for utmost comfort. There are 2 ergonomically positioned multi-functioned and easy to operate levers which are offered for the window washers, horn, 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 machine has a robust 3-speed fan for heating, cooling, recirculation and defrosting. As an additional option, air conditioning can be fitted.
Instrumentation
In the Spirit Delta, the instrument panel has logically grouped units that are all accessible. Basic 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. Moreover, gauges display values for fuel quantity, operating time, 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 units 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 faults which occur and their current values.
