Driving Tips
•
Allow for the length and width of the vehicle.
•
Always allow extra room when turning a corner or changing lanes.
•
Check the side mirrors often. Learn to use the view of the roadway behind, as seen through
the side mirrors, as a reference to keep a good lane position.
•
Avoid sudden maneuvers when passing another vehicle. Check rear view mirrors and signal
lane change before passing.
•
Drive with consideration on the highway, observing speed and safety regulations.
•
Allow a safe distance in which to stop your vehicle, never follow another vehicle too close.
•
Observe proper vehicle speeds when ascending or descending hills and always operate in the
proper transmission range.
•
Allow for the extra height of your vehicle and avoid areas having low overhead clearance.
The Bus Construction
Utilizing the manufacturers chassis (Ford, Chevrolet or Freightliner), Starcraft constructs and
attaches the bus body. The bus body is comprised of many different components. Throughout
this manual, you will find information concerning the basic body structure, standard and optional
equipment and some references to the chassis components.
NOTE:
For more information on the chassis components, refer to the manuals provided by the
chassis manufacturer.
NOTE:
In order to maintain high quality standards, it may become necessary to change the
standard equipment and/or options of the Starcraft models without notice. Starcraft Bus assumes
no responsibility for any errors in type or print reproduction of the features, specifications and
options in this literature. Equipment and specifications on the chassis from the Original
Equipment Manufacturer (OEM) may vary. Starcraft Bus assumes no responsibilities for these
OEM variances.
Exterior Components
This section explains the basic features of the exterior components and will help you become
familiar with operations, procedures and recommended care and maintenance.
Daily washing will not only enhance the look of the bus, but also help maintain the exterior
components.
•
Using a hose to wet it down and wiping the surface with a sponge or cloth can easily clean
the exterior.
•
Paint or vinyl graphics damaged by high-pressure washes are not covered by the Starcraft
body warranty.
•
Never use harsh abrasives or strong solvents on the exterior.
