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 offer optimum visibility with no forward corner posts and large glass areas unobstructed to keep the field of vision clear. The ergonomically designed instrument panel is gently rounded and extremely comfortable. This area has also been designed with an unobstructed clear view of all essential info, so as to keep the operator working as efficiently as possible.
Noise levels and vibration controls are kept low thanks to the insulated mounting on the chassis. In order to maintain an optimal working position, the hydraulic controls and operator seat are all independently adjustable. Additionally, 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 provided for the horn, window washers, windscreen wipers and gear changing.
A ventilation/heating unit guarantees 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 equipment has a robust 3-speed fan for defrosting, recirculation, cooling and heating. As an additional option, air conditioning could be fitted.
Instrumentation
In the Spirit Delta, the instrument panel has logically grouped units which are all within easy reach. Basic instrumentation consists of: high coolant temperature, low brake pressure, warning lamps, low engine and gearbox lubrication oil pressure, high gearbox oil temperature and applied parking brake. Furthermore, gauges display values for operating time, fuel quantity, engine coolant and gearbox oil pressure.
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 machine. 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 faults which take place and their current values.
