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 study into the operators working conditions. The main goal is to offer optimum visibility with no forward corner posts and large glass areas unobstructed in order to keep the field of vision clear. The ergonomically designed instrument panel is gently rounded and really comfortable. This area has also been designed with an unobstructed clear view of all important information, in order to keep the operator functioning as effectively as she or he could.
Thanks to the insulated mounting to the chassis, vibration levels and overall noise levels are kept low. The controller's seat and the hydraulic controls are all independently adjustable that allows you to maintain an optimum working position. Moreover, the steering wheel and related panel is adjustable for utmost comfort. There are 2 multi-functioned ergonomically positioned and easy to operate levers which are offered for windscreen wipers, gear changing, the horn and window washers.
To ensure a comfortable cab temperature for the operator, a ventilation/heating unit provides 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 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: warning lamps, low engine and gearbox lubrication oil pressure, low brake pressure, high coolant temperature, applied parking brake and high gearbox oil temperature. Additionally, gauges display values for fuel quantity, operating time, gearbox oil pressure and engine coolant.
Amongst the main options the 8 to 10 tonne trucks can 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 and incorporated by this system. The full text display and the single warning lamp show any faults which happen and their current values.
