FIRE AXE/CROWBAR
The fire axe and crowbar are located on the electrical panel access cover to the left of the driver’s seat as
close to the front as possible every 30 days, inspect installation mounting fasteners to insure that they are
tight. Check fire axe and crowbar monthly to be sure that they are easily accessible and unobstructed.
FLARE KIT
The flare kit is mounted on the left-hand side panel behind the driver’s seat. Insure that the contents of
the flare kits are in place every 30 days or as required by local regulations. Inspect mounting fasteners for
flare kit box every 30 days to insure that they are tight.
TRIANGULAR WARNING DEVICE
For states requiring the triangular warning devices to be located in the driver’s compartment, this con-
tainer is mounted above the windshield at the upper center near the roof line. For other states, it is located on
the left-hand rear floor board under the rear seat. Inspect contents of the kit every 30 days or as required by
local code to insure proper operation.
In units with optional locking emergency equipment in the front upper panel above the windshield, all
equipment is located behind the access door which is labeled with a list of the equipment. To meet state
specifications, the door locking mechanism is connected to a buzzer system. The buzzer sounds when the
ignition is turned on and the compartment is locked.
On the Rear Engine models the triangular warning device, encased fusees, fire extinguisher, fire axe and
wrecking bar are located in the front of the bus body in the center compartment at the floor depending on the
options.
Your unit may be equipped with a 2 3/4, 4 1/2, 5 or 6 pound fire extinguisher. Periodic inspections are
needed.
