Operator Environment
The Spirit Delta cab gives the operator a safe and efficient 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 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 really comfortable. This area has also been designed with an unobstructed clear view of all essential info, so as to keep the operator functioning as effectively 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 in order to maintain an optimum working position. In addition, the steering wheel and related panel is adjustable for maximum comfort. There are 2 multi-functioned ergonomically positioned and easy to operate levers that are offered for the window washers, horn, windscreen wipers and gear changing.
To ensure a comfortable 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 machine has a robust 3-speed fan for recirculation, defrosting, cooling and heating. As an additional 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 consists of: low brake pressure, high coolant temperature, low engine and gearbox lubrication oil pressure, warning lamps, high gearbox oil temperature and applied parking brake. In addition, gauges display values for engine coolant, gearbox oil pressure, operating time and fuel quantity.
The ECS or Electronic Control System monitoring is one of the main options on the 8 to 10 tonne trucks. These models make it easier to supervise the machinery. 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 errors that happen and their current values.
