BUS OPERATION
Entering the Bus
Under normal circumstances, follow these instructions for entering the
bus:
Push the middle of the front doors to open them.
Push the Door Air dump lever (located to the left of the driver’s
seat on the driver’s console, see Figure 1-1 ) to the “NORMAL”
position.
In Case of Lockout
Never operate bus controls except when seated in the driver’s seat.
Attempting to operate controls by reaching through the driver’s window
or from the aisle could cause unexpected bus movement, resulting in
serious injury or death!
If you are locked out of the bus, do not open the engine door. Changing
the position of the Ignition Select switch in the rear run box could, in
certain instances, cause the bus to move unexpectedly and could result
in serious injury or death!
If a lockout occurs, contact your supervisor and, when
authorized, follow these steps to reenter the bus:
1. Be sure that the parking brake is applied. If you
can see the black band at the base of the park-
ing brake switch, the parking brake is applied.
See Figure 1- 2. If the parking brake is not set or
you are unable to see the parking brake switch
through the windows, the wheels must be se-
curely chocked to prevent the bus from rolling in
either direction. If the bus is parked on a grade,
pay extra attention to securing the bus from roll-
ing downhill.
2. Go around the bus and open the access door under the driver’s window and find the air tank drain
valves, located in the upper right-hand corner of the battery access panel. Refer to the “Air Res -
ervoirs” section in the Air System chapter for further information. Carefully open all four valves.
An audible sound will be heard as the air exhausts from the system.
