CAUTION

 Mixing different sizes or types of tires (radial and bias-belted) can cause 

the vehicle to handle improperly which could cause you to lose control while driving 
resulting in a serious accident. You must use the same size and types of tires on all 
wheels.   

Notice

:

 Failure to keep the tires properly inflated can cause needless wear of tires. 

 

Optional Custom Paint Graphics  

 

Custom paint should not be waxed within 90 days of the manufacture production date of the 

bus. The complex chemistry of today’s automotive paints 

continues to cure and harden during 

this time.   

 After its final curing period, a high-quality hand-applied wax designed for automotive 

finishes may be used on the body and fiberglass parts.   

• It is recommended to w

ax the unit at least every 6 months to enhance and protect the 

paint.   

Notice:

 

Applying a wax within 90 days of the manufacture’s production date can result 

in damaging the integrity of the paint.   

 

Optional Vinyl Graphics 

 

To avoid the possibility of damaging the vinyl graphics, do not clean with any solvent or 
cleaner other than a mild detergent designed for automotive finishes.   

• Mechanical power

ed spray washer should not be used directly on the vinyl graphics.    

• Auto

motive wax should not be applied to the tape; it may result in an unattractive 

buildup to the color.   

Notice:

 Using a high-powered spray washer directly on the vinyl graphics could result in 

tearing or lifting of the vinyl graphics. 

   

Destination Signs (if equipped)   

 

A destination signs will be located in the overhead cab. The sign can be done with a decal 
adhered on the inside of the plexiglass or a digital sign route. 

• For a lighted sign be careful not to scratch the sign or 

plexiglass when changing the bulb.    

• The plexiglass can be cleaned with a warm soap and 

water based solution or a standard glass cleaner.   

 All service on digital signs must be performed by an 

Authorized L.A. West Dealer.
