Operator Environment
Operators have a safe and efficient 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 most important objective is to offer optimum visibility with no forward corner posts and large glass areas unobstructed so as to keep the field of vision clear. The instrumental panel is ergonomically designed and 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 working as effectively as possible.
Vibration levels and noise levels are kept low due to the insulated mounting on the chassis. In order to maintain an optimal working position, the operator seat and hydraulic controls are all independently adjustable. In addition, the steering wheel and related panel is adjustable for utmost comfort. There are 2 easy to operate, multi-functioned ergonomically positioned levers that are offered for windscreen wipers, gear changing, the window washers and horn.
A ventilation/heating unit guarantees 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
The instrument panel in the spirit delta cab has been logically grouped and are all within easy reach. The standard instruments that comprise: low engine and gearbox lubrication oil pressure, warning lamps, high coolant temperature, low brake pressure, applied parking brake and high gearbox oil temperature. Furthermore, gauges display values for operating time, fuel quantity, gearbox oil pressure and engine coolant.
One of the important options the 8 to 10 tonne trucks can be outfitted with is the ECS or Electronic Control System monitoring. This enables 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 full text display and the single warning lamp show any errors that take place and their current values.
