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 objective is to offer optimum visibility with no forward corner posts and large glass areas unobstructed 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, so as to keep the operator working as effectively as she or he could.
Vibration levels and noise levels are kept low due to the insulated mounting on the chassis. In order to maintain an optimal working position, the hydraulic controls and operator seat are all individually adjustable. Additionally, the steering wheel and related panel is adjustable for maximum comfort. There are 2 ergonomically positioned multi-functioned and easy to operate levers which are offered for windscreen wipers, gear changing, the window washers and horn.
A ventilation/heating unit guarantees a comfy 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 defrosting, recirculation, heating and cooling. As an additional option, air conditioning can be fitted.
Instrumentation
In the Spirit Delta, the instrument panel has logically grouped units which are all within easy reach. Basic instrumentation includes: low brake pressure, high coolant temperature, warning lamps, low engine and gearbox lubrication oil pressure, applied parking brake and high gearbox oil temperature. Furthermore, gauges display values for operating time, fuel quantity, engine coolant and gearbox oil pressure.
Among the key options the 8 to 10 tonne trucks can be equipped with is the ECS or Electronic Control System monitoring. This allows 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 full text display and the single warning lamp show any faults which occur and their current values.
