The fire suppression system is reliable only if it is properly maintained
and serviced. Adhere to the maintenance schedule in the Amerex manual
supplied with the bus ( Installation, Operation and Maintenance Manual
No. 13980 Rev . F —see the “Inspection” and “Maintenance” sections,
which pertain to all models). Perform daily and monthly inspections
and semiannual maintenance exactly as described therein.
It is imperative that the driver perform the daily pre-operational check
described in the Amerex manual!
To avoid false discharge, disable the fire suppression system before steam
cleaning or welding near thermostats. Cutting system wiring anywhere
along the electrical circuits will cause a false discharge. Refer to section
6.E of the Amerex manual for more information.
