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 huge glass areas unobstructed to keep the field of vision clear. The instrumental panel is ergonomically designed and is really comfortable and gently rounded. This particular area has also been designed with an unobstructed clear view of all important information, so as to keep the operator functioning as effectively as possible.
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 hydraulic controls and operator seat are all independently adjustable. Furthermore, the steering wheel and related panel is adjustable for maximum comfort. There are 2 simple to operate, ergonomically positioned multi-functioned levers that 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 equipment 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 accessible. The basic instruments that include: high coolant temperature, low brake pressure, low engine and gearbox lubrication oil pressure, warning lamps, applied parking brake and high gearbox oil temperature. Furthermore, gauges display values for fuel quantity, operating time, engine coolant and gearbox oil pressure.
One of the important options the 8 to 10 tonne trucks can be outfitted with is the ECS or also called 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 which happen and their current values.
