Operator Environment
The Spirit Delta cab gives the operator an efficient and safe place to work from. The cab design is the end result of a major analysis of 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 really comfortable and gently rounded. 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 possible.
Noise levels and vibration controls 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. Additionally, the steering wheel and related panel is adjustable for maximum comfort. There are 2 easy to operate, multi-functioned ergonomically positioned levers that are provided for gear changing, windscreen wipers, the horn and window washers.
To guarantee a comfy cab temperature for the operator, a ventilation/heating unit supplies incoming air that 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 recirculation, defrosting, 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. Standard instrumentation includes: low engine and gearbox lubrication oil pressure, warning lamps, low brake pressure, high coolant temperature, applied parking brake and high gearbox oil temperature. Moreover, gauges display values for fuel quantity, operating time, gearbox oil pressure and engine coolant.
The ECS or also called Electronic Control System monitoring is among the main options on the 8 to 10 tonne trucks. These models make it easier to supervise the equipment. 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 that take place and their current values.
