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 study of operators' working conditions. The most important goal is to provide 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 extremely comfortable. This particular area has also been designed with an unobstructed clear view of all essential information, in order to keep the operator functioning as efficiently as he or she could.
Due 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 individually adjustable as a way to maintain an optimum working position. Moreover, the steering wheel and related panel is adjustable for maximum comfort. There are 2 ergonomically positioned multi-functioned and simple to operate levers which are offered for windscreen wipers, gear changing, the horn and window washers.
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 equipment has a robust 3-speed fan for cooling, heating, recirculation and defrosting. As an extra 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 consists of: high coolant temperature, low brake pressure, warning lamps, low engine and gearbox lubrication oil pressure, high gearbox oil temperature and applied parking brake. Furthermore, gauges display values for gearbox oil pressure, engine coolant, fuel quantity and operating time.
Among the important options the 8 to 10 tonne trucks could be outfitted with is the ECS or Electronic Control System monitoring. This allows for easy supervision of the model. 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.
