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 objective is to offer optimum visibility with no forward corner posts and big 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 important information, in order to keep the operator functioning as efficiently as possible.
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 individually adjustable as a way to maintain an optimum working position. Furthermore, the steering wheel and related panel is adjustable for utmost comfort. There are 2 ergonomically positioned multi-functioned and simple to operate levers that are offered for the horn, window washers, windscreen wipers and gear changing.
A ventilation/heating unit guarantees a comfortable 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, 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. 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. Additionally, gauges display values for operating time, fuel quantity, engine coolant and gearbox oil pressure.
One of the key 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 errors that happen and their current values.
