Driver’s Seat Lubrication
Moving parts of the driver’s seat require lubrication for ease of operation, as well as longevity of the seat and prevention of excessive wear.
Currently available is white lithium-based grease in an aerosol can. It gives excellent coverage when carefully directed into moving part
joints. The very light coating of lubrication provided by aerosol-carried solvent-type solution works very well for penetrating into a joint
and cleaning away dirt, but it should only be depended on for lubrication if it is applied frequently. A common 10W30 or 10W40 motor oil
will provide good lubrication.
Remember that all moving part joints, tilt pivots, slide forward/back adjustment, and vertical motion pivots (four in all) require lubrica-
tion. This should be done every six months or 6,000 miles, whichever occurs first. The use of lithium-based grease in aerosol form is recom-
mended.
Seat Care and Cleaning
It is imperative that the interior of the bus be kept clean; seats are an important part of this maintenance. Regular cleaning and care will
prolong the life of the seats and improve the general appearance of the bus.
Everyday dirt and soil.
Most everyday soil and dirt may be removed with a soap and water solution. If the stain is persistent, a stiff
bristle brush may be used. Fabric covered seats should be rinsed with clean water after the stain is removed.
Paint, tar, and asphalt.
Remove the stain immediately using a damp cloth and kerosene. Rub gently, using small strokes. Rinse thor-
oughly. This type of stain may become permanent if not cleaned immediately.
Nail polish and lacquer based stains.
Soak up as much as possible with dry cloth immediately. Any remaining stain may be removed
with a non-flammable cleaning fluid such as “Tuff Stuff™” or “Armor All™” cleanser. Rinse thoroughly with clean water.
Gum, grease, and shoe polish.
Remove as much as possible immediately. If left for any length of time, shoe polish will stain perma-
nently. Clean any remaining stain with “Tuff Stuff™” or “Armor All™” cleanser.
Ink.
Remove stain immediately using a damp cloth and alcohol.
