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 research into the operators working conditions. The main objective is to be able 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, in order to keep the operator working as effectively as possible.
Due to the insulated mounting to the chassis, overall noise levels and vibration levels are kept low. The hydraulic controls and the operators' seat are all individually adjustable that allows you to maintain an optimum working position. In addition, the steering wheel and related panel is adjustable for utmost comfort. There are 2 ergonomically positioned multi-functioned and simple to operate levers which are provided for the window washers, horn, windscreen wipers and gear changing.
A ventilation/heating unit ensure 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 machinery has a robust 3-speed fan for defrosting, recirculation, heating and cooling. As an extra option, air conditioning could be fitted.
Instrumentation
In the Spirit Delta, the instrument panel has logically grouped units that are all accessible. Standard instrumentation includes: warning lamps, low engine and gearbox lubrication oil pressure, high coolant temperature, low brake pressure, applied parking brake and high gearbox oil temperature. Additionally, gauges display values for fuel quantity, operating time, engine coolant and gearbox oil pressure.
Amongst the main options the 8 to 10 tonne trucks can be equipped with is the ECS or also called Electronic Control System monitoring. This allows for easy supervision of the model. All of the monitoring functions are handled by the ECS and incorporated by this system. The full text display and the single warning lamp show any faults which happen and their current values.
