Operator Environment
Operators have a safe and efficient place to work from in the Spirit Delta cab. The particular design of the cab comes as a result of extensive research into the operators working conditions. The main goal is to be able to offer optimum visibility with no forward corner posts and huge glass areas unobstructed so as to keep the field of vision clear. The instrumental panel is ergonomically designed and is gently rounded and really comfortable. This area has also been designed with an unobstructed clear view of all important information, so as to keep the operator functioning as efficiently as she or he could.
Noise levels and vibration controls are kept low thanks to the insulated mounting on the chassis. To be able to maintain an optimal working position, the hydraulic controls and operator seat are all independently adjustable. Furthermore, the steering wheel and related panel is adjustable for utmost comfort. There are 2 ergonomically positioned multi-functioned and simple to operate levers which are offered for the horn, window washers, gear changing and windscreen wipers.
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 defrosting, recirculation, heating and cooling. As an extra option, air conditioning could be fitted.
Instrumentation
In the Spirit Delta, the instrument panel has logically grouped units that are all accessible. Basic instrumentation includes: low brake pressure, high coolant temperature, low engine and gearbox lubrication oil pressure, warning lamps, applied parking brake and high gearbox oil temperature. Furthermore, gauges display values for gearbox oil pressure, engine coolant, fuel quantity and operating time.
Among the key options the 8 to 10 tonne trucks can be equipped with is the ECS or also called Electronic Control System monitoring. This enables for easy supervision of the unit. 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 that take place and their current values.
