Operator Environment
Operators have a safe and efficient place to work from in the Spirit Delta cab. The specific design of the cab comes as a result of extensive research into the operators working conditions. The main goal is to offer optimum visibility with no forward corner posts and large glass areas unobstructed in order to keep the field of vision clear. The ergonomically designed instrument panel is gently rounded and really comfortable. This area has also been designed with an unobstructed clear view of all essential info, so as to keep the operator functioning as efficiently as she or he could.
Due to the insulated mounting to the chassis, vibration levels and overall noise levels are kept low. The hydraulic controls and the operators' seat are all individually adjustable as a way to maintain an optimum working position. In addition, the steering wheel and related panel is adjustable for maximum comfort. There are 2 easy to operate, multi-functioned ergonomically positioned levers which are offered for windscreen wipers, gear changing, the window washers and horn.
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 equipment has a robust 3-speed fan for heating, cooling, defrosting and recirculation. As an extra option, air conditioning can be fitted.
Instrumentation
The instrument panel in the spirit delta cab has been logically grouped and are all within easy reach. The basic instruments which include: low brake pressure, high coolant temperature, warning lamps, low engine and gearbox lubrication oil pressure, high gearbox oil temperature and applied parking brake. Moreover, gauges display values for engine coolant, gearbox oil pressure, operating time and fuel quantity.
The ECS or Electronic Control System monitoring is among the important 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 or Electronic Control System and incorporated by this system. The full text display and the single warning lamp show any errors which occur and their current values.
