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 most important goal is to provide optimum visibility with no forward corner posts and huge glass areas unobstructed so as to keep the field of vision clear. The instrumental panel is ergonomically designed and is gently rounded and really comfortable. This area has also been designed with an unobstructed clear view of all essential information, so as to keep the operator working as effectively as possible.
Due to the insulated mounting to the chassis, vibration levels and overall noise levels are kept low. The hydraulic controls and the operators' seat are all independently adjustable as a way to maintain an optimum working position. Additionally, the steering wheel and related panel is adjustable for utmost comfort. There are 2 multi-functioned ergonomically positioned and simple to operate levers which are offered for the horn, window washers, windscreen wipers and gear changing.
To ensure a comfy cab temperature for the operator, a ventilation/heating unit provides incoming air that 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 defrosting, recirculation, heating and cooling. As an extra option, air conditioning could be fitted.

The standard instruments that include: low brake pressure, high coolant temperature, warning lamps, low engine and gearbox lubrication oil pressure, applied parking brake and high gearbox oil temperature. In addition, gauges display values for operating time, fuel quantity, gearbox oil pressure and engine coolant.

All of the monitoring functions are handled by the ECS or Electronic Control System and incorporated by this system.
