Operator Environment
The Spirit Delta cab gives the operator an efficient and safe place to work from. The cab design is the end result of a major study of operators' working conditions. The main objective is to be able to offer optimum visibility with no forward corner posts and large glass areas unobstructed to keep the field of vision clear. The ergonomically designed instrument panel is really comfortable and gently rounded. This specific 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.
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 operator seat and hydraulic controls are all independently adjustable. Moreover, the steering wheel and related panel is adjustable for utmost comfort. There are 2 multi-functioned ergonomically positioned and simple to operate levers that are offered for gear changing, windscreen wipers, the horn and window washers.
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 equipment has a robust 3-speed fan for defrosting, recirculation, heating and cooling. As an additional option, air conditioning can be fitted.
Instrumentation

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