OIL PRESSURE GAUGES AND SENDERS
The oil pressure senders are connected to the engine on the left (street) side of the coach, toward the rear
(flywheel) end of the engine. The “Low Oil Pressure” warning light/alarm system activates at the fol -
lowing engine speeds and oil pressures:
At 700 rpm, oil pressure below 5 psi will trigger the alarm
At 1400 rpm, oil pressure below 10 psi will trigger the alarm
At 2000 rpm, oil pressure below 20 psi will trigger the alarm
THROTTLE
General Description
Engines on Gillig coaches use an electronically controlled throttle system. Electronic throttle systems
use a throttle pedal with a potentiometer to regulate the flow of fuel to the engine.
Whenever interlock is triggered (by activation of coach doors, fast idle, the lift master power switch,
or the kneeling system), the service brakes are automatically applied and a signal is sent to the engine’s
ECM to disable the throttle.
Placing the Master Interlock switch in the “Override” position can
result in unexpected movement of the coach, causing serious injury to
passengers or damage to the coach.
Fast Idle
The fast idle system is used to increase engine speed while building up air pressure within the system,
and to reduce the time required for warming up the engine. Due to high fuel costs and to prevent exces -
sive exhaust emissions, Gillig suggests that you review your operation to eliminate long periods of time
with the fast idle activated while the vehicle is parked.
