Operator Environment
Operators have an efficient and safe 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 main goal is to offer optimum visibility with no forward corner posts and big glass areas unobstructed 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 important info, so as to keep the operator functioning 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 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 simple to operate, multi-functioned ergonomically positioned levers which are provided for windscreen wipers, gear changing, the window washers and horn.
To ensure a comfortable cab temperature for the operator, a ventilation/heating unit supplies incoming air which 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 recirculation, defrosting, 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 within easy reach. Standard instrumentation includes: low engine and gearbox lubrication oil pressure, warning lamps, low brake pressure, high coolant temperature, high gearbox oil temperature and applied parking brake. Additionally, gauges display values for engine coolant, gearbox oil pressure, fuel quantity and operating time.
The ECS or also called Electronic Control System monitoring is amongst the key options on the 8 to 10 tonne trucks. These models make it easier to supervise the machine. All of the monitoring functions are handled by the ECS and incorporated by this system. The single warning lamp and the full text display show any errors which take place and their current values.
