Driver's area controls
Raising/lowering the bus
Danger.
Although the bus remains manoeuvrable
while the suspension is depressurised,
it must be driven no faster than walking
pace to the nearest lay-by or OMNIplus
Service Partner. Whenever work is carried
out on the air suspension system, the
body must always be supported by jacks
and stands positioned at the designated
points because the body of the bus could
drop relatively quickly in the event of a
loss of air.
Raising/lowering the bus
Preconditions: Ignition starter switch
ON, bus stationary, doors closed,
operating pressure > 6.5 bar, level
control operational.
Raising or lowering is initiated in
response to a single press of the
button with the door closed. It is
possible to interrupt or reverse the
lowering process by pressing the
“Normal level” pushbutton.
Danger.
It is prohibited to lower the bus while per-
sons are present in the immediate vicinity
of the bus.
Danger.
Do not exceed the maximum permissible
vehicle height when driving with the bus
raised above normal level. In Germany,
the maximum permissible vehicle height
is limited to 4 metres. Regulations may
vary from country to country and must be
observed accordingly.
Danger.
The bus is not permitted to be driven
faster than walking pace whenever it
has been raised or lowered out of nor-
mal level.
Note:
The suspension air bags are deflated or
inflated and the superstructure is lowered
or raised by 70 mm respectively.
