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 goal is to provide optimum visibility with no forward corner posts and huge glass areas unobstructed in order to keep the field of vision clear. The instrumental panel is ergonomically designed and is gently rounded and extremely comfortable. This specific area has also been designed with an unobstructed clear view of all important info, so as to keep the operator working 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 hydraulic controls and operator seat are all independently adjustable. In addition, the steering wheel and related panel is adjustable for utmost comfort. There are 2 easy to operate, multi-functioned ergonomically positioned levers that are provided for windscreen wipers, gear changing, the window washers and horn.
To ensure a comfy cab temperature for the operator, a ventilation/heating unit provides incoming air that 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, recirculation and defrosting. As an additional option, air conditioning could be fitted.
Instrumentation
The instrument panel in the spirit delta cab has been logically grouped and are all within easy reach. The standard instruments which include: high coolant temperature, low brake pressure, warning lamps, low engine and gearbox lubrication oil pressure, applied parking brake and high gearbox oil temperature. Furthermore, gauges display values for operating time, fuel quantity, engine coolant and gearbox oil pressure.
The ECS or also called Electronic Control System monitoring is among the main options on the 8 to 10 tonne trucks. These units 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 faults that take place and their current values.
