Parking
Each time you park the bus or leave the driver’s seat while the engine is running the
following procedure must be followed:
1. Apply the service brakes to bring the vehicle to a complete stop, and con-
tinue to hold the brake pedal.
2. Ensure the engine idle is in the “low” position (High Idle switch is off).
3. Shift the transmission to Neutral.
4. Apply the park brake. (On buses equipped with hydraulic brakes, press
the pedal down to achieve a fourth “click” of its detent setting. On buses
equipped with air brakes, Pull the Park Brake valve.)
5. Release the service brake pedal, allowing the park brake to take on the load
of holding the bus.
6. If parked in any unusual situation, such as a severe incline, chock the wheels
and take any other precautionary measures necessary to ensure the bus
doesn’t move.
If this procedure is not followed, the bus could move unexpectedly and cause serious
injury or death and/or property damage.
[CAUTION] Do not allow the bus to coast in neutral. This practice can result
in transmission damage. Engine retard and braking assistance is not available
when the transmission is in neutral. It may not be possible to get the transmis-
sion back into gear while the bus is moving.
Do not idle in “R” (reverse) for more than five minutes. Extended idle time in “R”
(reverse) may cause transmission overheating and damage. Always select “N” (neu-
tral) whenever time at idle exceeds five minutes.
