Operator Environment
Operators have an efficient and safe 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 offer optimum visibility with no forward corner posts and big glass areas unobstructed to keep the field of vision clear. The instrumental panel is ergonomically designed and is gently rounded and really comfortable. This specific area has also been designed with an unobstructed clear view of all important information, in order to keep the operator functioning as effectively as possible.
Noise levels and vibration controls are kept low due to the insulated mounting on the chassis. In order to maintain an optimal working position, the hydraulic controls and operator seat are all individually adjustable. Furthermore, the steering wheel and related panel is adjustable for utmost comfort. There are 2 simple to operate, multi-functioned ergonomically positioned levers that are offered for the window washers, horn, gear changing and windscreen wipers.
To guarantee a comfy cab temperature for the operator, a ventilation/heating unit provides 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 equipment has a robust 3-speed fan for heating, cooling, defrosting and recirculation. As an extra option, air conditioning can be fitted.
Instrumentation
In the Spirit Delta, the instrument panel has logically grouped units which are all accessible. Standard instrumentation consists of: warning lamps, low engine and gearbox lubrication oil pressure, 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.
Among the key options the 8 to 10 tonne trucks can be outfitted 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 take place and their current values.
