Operator Environment
Operators have an efficient and safe place to work from in the Spirit Delta cab. The particular design of the cab comes as a result of extensive research into the operators working conditions. The main goal is to offer optimum visibility with no forward corner posts and huge glass areas unobstructed to keep the field of vision clear. The ergonomically designed instrument panel is really 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 functioning as efficiently as she or he could.
Noise levels and vibration controls are kept low thanks to the insulated mounting on the chassis. So that they can maintain an optimal working position, the operator seat and hydraulic controls are all individually adjustable. In addition, the steering wheel and related panel is adjustable for utmost comfort. There are 2 ergonomically positioned multi-functioned and easy to operate levers which 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 cooling, heating, defrosting and recirculation. As an additional option, air conditioning could be fitted.
Instrumentation
The instrument panel in the spirit delta cab has been logically grouped and are all accessible. The basic instruments that comprise: low engine and gearbox lubrication oil pressure, warning lamps, low brake pressure, high coolant temperature, applied parking brake and high gearbox oil temperature. Furthermore, gauges display values for operating time, fuel quantity, gearbox oil pressure and engine coolant.
The ECS or Electronic Control System monitoring is amongst the important options on the 8 to 10 tonne trucks. These units make it easier to supervise the machinery. 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 errors that take place and their current values.
