hank you for selecting the Blue Bird Micro-Bird. This body/chassis
combination is the result of developments in mass transportation
which have been ongoing since 1927. The design and construction of
the Micro-Bird bus body reflects Blue Bird’s concern for efficiency and—
above all—safe operation.
This manual has been prepared to acquaint you with various aspects of service, maintenance, and operation. It explains the vari-
ous features and controls which should be familiar to you before you attempt to drive the unit. It will help keep your Blue Bird
Micro-Bird in top operating condition and help extend its service life.
Your Blue Bird Micro-Bird may not have all of the equipment described in this manual. Therefore, you may find maintenance data
for equipment not installed on your bus. Please note that some sections of the manual are written for more than one product
offered by Blue Bird, so some illustrations may differ slightly from what you find on your own bus. Text, illustrations, and specifica-
tions in this manual are based on information available at the time of printing. We reserve the right to make changes at any time
without notice. You are encouraged to contact your Blue Bird distributor if additional maintenance information or assistance is
needed. For chassis-related service and maintenance information, contact your local chassis distributor or representative.
The complete line of Blue Bird Service Parts is available from your Blue Bird distributor. The use of original Blue Bird replacement
parts and components will help ensure that your Micro-Bird remains true to its original design, best preserving our high standards
of performance, efficiency, and safety.
Proper operation, service, and maintenance are important to the safety and reliability of all motor vehicles. The information
contained herein is provided as a reference for systems and components that require periodic service. The intervals given are
manufacturer’s recommendations and should be considered maximum intervals. Actual operating conditions must be consid-
ered and maintenance intervals adjusted accordingly. Any time a system does not perform satisfactorily, corrective service should
be performed at once.
The Micro-Bird is larger than a typical automobile. Acceleration will likely be slower than that of a car or truck. You may
find that steering, brakes, and other systems feel different from what is familiar to you. This makes it very important,
from a safety standpoint, for you to become completely familiar with bus operation before attempting passenger tran-
sit.
[CAUTION]
No one should attempt to operate this coach without (1) thorough knowledge of all instruments and controls,
(2) supervision, or actual driving experience in this or a similar vehicle under supervision, and (3) an appropriate license or
permit to operate. Do not drive the coach until the space in front, on the sides, and in the rear is unobstructed. Most ac-
cidents occur because the operator did not ensure a clear path before driving.
The operator should read this manual, as well as the manual supplied by the chassis manufacturer, before attempting to drive the
unit. This manual provides you with the most current maintenance and operation information available. We welcome your com-
ments and suggestions regarding this manual. Please direct all correspondence to:
