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 main objective is to be able to provide optimum visibility with no forward corner posts and big glass areas unobstructed in order to keep the field of vision clear. The instrumental panel is ergonomically designed and is extremely comfortable and gently rounded. This area has also been designed with an unobstructed clear view of all essential info, in order to keep the operator functioning as effectively as possible.
Vibration levels and noise levels are kept low due to the insulated mounting on the chassis. In order to maintain an optimal working position, the operator seat and hydraulic controls are all individually adjustable. Furthermore, the steering wheel and related panel is adjustable for utmost comfort. There are 2 multi-functioned ergonomically positioned and simple to operate levers that are provided for windscreen wipers, gear changing, the horn and window washers.
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 machine has a robust 3-speed fan for cooling, heating, defrosting and recirculation. As an extra option, air conditioning could be fitted.
Instrumentation
In the Spirit Delta, the instrument panel has logically grouped units which are all accessible. Standard instrumentation includes: high coolant temperature, low brake pressure, warning lamps, low engine and gearbox lubrication oil pressure, applied parking brake and high gearbox oil temperature. In addition, gauges display values for fuel quantity, operating time, engine coolant and gearbox oil pressure.
The ECS or also called Electronic Control System monitoring is among the important options on the 8 to 10 tonne trucks. These models make it easier to supervise the machinery. All of the monitoring functions are handled by the ECS or Electronic Control System and incorporated by this system. The single warning lamp and the full text display show any errors that occur and their current values.
