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 study into the operators working conditions. The main objective is to provide optimum visibility with no forward corner posts and large glass areas unobstructed to keep the field of vision clear. The instrumental panel is ergonomically designed and is gently rounded and extremely comfortable. This particular area has also been designed with an unobstructed clear view of all essential info, in order to keep the operator functioning as efficiently as possible.
Due to the insulated mounting to the chassis, overall noise levels and vibration levels are kept low. The controller's seat and the hydraulic controls are all independently adjustable as a way to maintain an optimum working position. Moreover, the steering wheel and related panel is adjustable for maximum comfort. There are 2 multi-functioned ergonomically positioned and simple to operate levers which are offered for the window washers, horn, windscreen wipers and gear changing.
To guarantee a comfy 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 machine has a robust 3-speed fan for recirculation, defrosting, cooling and heating. As an extra option, air conditioning could be fitted.
Instrumentation
The instrument panel in the spirit delta cab has been logically grouped and are all within easy reach. The standard instruments that include: high coolant temperature, low brake pressure, low engine and gearbox lubrication oil pressure, warning lamps, high gearbox oil temperature and applied parking brake. Moreover, gauges display values for fuel quantity, operating time, gearbox oil pressure and engine coolant.
The ECS or Electronic Control System monitoring is amongst the key options on the 8 to 10 tonne trucks. These models make it easier to supervise the machine. 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.
