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 research into the operators working conditions. The most important goal is 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 extremely comfortable. This area has also been designed with an unobstructed clear view of all essential info, in order to keep the operator functioning as efficiently as possible.
Thanks to the insulated mounting to the chassis, overall noise levels and vibration levels are kept low. The controller's seat and the hydraulic controls are all independently adjustable as a way to maintain an optimum working position. Furthermore, 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 gear changing, windscreen wipers, the horn and window washers.
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 machinery has a robust 3-speed fan for recirculation, defrosting, heating and cooling. 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 include: warning lamps, low engine and gearbox lubrication oil pressure, high coolant temperature, low brake pressure, applied parking brake and high gearbox oil temperature. Furthermore, gauges display values for gearbox oil pressure, engine coolant, fuel quantity and operating time.
The ECS or also called 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 and incorporated by this system. The full text display and the single warning lamp show any faults that take place and their current values.
