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 analysis of operators' working conditions. The main objective is to be able to offer 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 extremely comfortable. This particular area has also been designed with an unobstructed clear view of all essential information, 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 independently adjustable to be able to maintain an optimum working position. In addition, the steering wheel and related panel is adjustable for utmost comfort. There are 2 easy to operate, ergonomically positioned multi-functioned levers that are offered for the horn, window washers, gear changing and windscreen wipers.
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 machine has a robust 3-speed fan for heating, cooling, recirculation and defrosting. As an extra 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 basic instruments which comprise: low brake pressure, high coolant temperature, low engine and gearbox lubrication oil pressure, warning lamps, high gearbox oil temperature and applied parking brake. Furthermore, gauges display values for gearbox oil pressure, engine coolant, fuel quantity and operating time.
Among the main options the 8 to 10 tonne trucks could be outfitted with is the ECS or also called Electronic Control System monitoring. This allows for easy supervision of the model. All of the monitoring functions are handled by the ECS and incorporated by this system. The full text display and the single warning lamp show any errors that happen and their current values.
