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 be able to provide optimum visibility with no forward corner posts and huge glass areas unobstructed to keep the field of vision clear. The instrumental panel is ergonomically designed and is gently rounded and really comfortable. This particular area has also been designed with an unobstructed clear view of all essential information, in order to keep the operator working as effectively as she or he could.
Vibration levels and noise levels are kept low thanks 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 which are offered for the horn, window washers, gear changing and windscreen wipers.
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 machine has a robust 3-speed fan for recirculation, defrosting, cooling and heating. 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 accessible. The standard instruments that comprise: low brake pressure, high coolant temperature, warning lamps, low engine and gearbox lubrication oil pressure, high gearbox oil temperature and applied parking brake. In addition, gauges display values for engine coolant, gearbox oil pressure, operating time and fuel quantity.
The ECS or Electronic Control System monitoring is amongst the important 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 errors that take place and their current values.
