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 study of operators' working conditions. The main goal is to offer optimum visibility with no forward corner posts and huge glass areas unobstructed so as to keep the field of vision clear. The ergonomically designed instrument panel is extremely comfortable and gently rounded. This area has also been designed with an unobstructed clear view of all essential info, so as to keep the operator working as efficiently as he or she could.
Vibration levels and noise levels are kept low due to the insulated mounting on the chassis. So that they can maintain an optimal working position, the hydraulic controls and operator seat are all independently adjustable. Furthermore, the steering wheel and related panel is adjustable for utmost comfort. There are 2 ergonomically positioned multi-functioned and easy to operate levers that are provided for windscreen wipers, gear changing, the horn and window washers.
To ensure a comfortable cab temperature for the operator, a ventilation/heating unit supplies incoming air which 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 heating, cooling, recirculation and defrosting. As an extra 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: warning lamps, low engine and gearbox lubrication oil pressure, high coolant temperature, low brake pressure, high gearbox oil temperature and applied parking brake. Additionally, 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 outfitted 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 or Electronic Control System and incorporated by this system. The full text display and the single warning lamp show any errors that occur and their current values.
