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 study into the operators working conditions. The most important goal is to be able to offer optimum visibility with no forward corner posts and big 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 working as effectively as he or she could.
Noise levels and vibration controls are kept low due to the insulated mounting on the chassis. So that they can maintain an optimal working position, the operator seat and hydraulic controls are all independently adjustable. Additionally, the steering wheel and related panel is adjustable for maximum comfort. There are 2 simple to operate, multi-functioned ergonomically positioned levers which are offered for the horn, window washers, windscreen wipers and gear changing.
To guarantee 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 machinery has a robust 3-speed fan for defrosting, recirculation, cooling and heating. As an extra option, air conditioning can be fitted.
Instrumentation
In the Spirit Delta, the instrument panel has logically grouped units that are all within easy reach. Basic instrumentation includes: warning lamps, low engine and gearbox lubrication oil pressure, high coolant temperature, low brake pressure, applied parking brake and high gearbox oil temperature. Moreover, gauges display values for engine coolant, gearbox oil pressure, fuel quantity and operating time.
Among the key options the 8 to 10 tonne trucks could be equipped with is the ECS or Electronic Control System monitoring. This enables for easy supervision of the unit. 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 which happen and their current values.
