Maintenance
replacement parts may hinder operation of engine and emission
controls and can reduce engine life and / or jeopardize the
warranty.
Keep the receipts covering the performance of regular
maintenance in case questions arise concerning maintenance.
The receipts should be transferred to each subsequent owner
of the vehicle (engine).
For effective emission control and low operating cost, perform
the maintenance operations listed on the following pages, at
the specified periods or mileage intervals indicated (kilometers,
miles,
hours, or months) in the Engine Operation and
Maintenance Manual.
Service intervals are based upon average operating conditions.
In certain environments and duty cycles, more frequent servicing
may be required.
PSI 8.8L LPG Engine
This bus is equipped with a PSI 8.8L LPG engine that has been
designed to produce greener emissions while providing reliability
and power through the use of a liquid propane fuel injection
system.
NOTE: For complete operation and maintenance
information pertaining to your PSI 8.8L LPG engine, refer
to the Engine Operation and Maintenance Manual provided
with the vehicle.
Scheduled Maintenance
For information regarding routine scheduled maintenance such
as replacement of oil, filters, coolant, belts, belt tensioners, etc,
as well as inspection and adjustment of items such as valve lash,
etc. refer to the Engine Operation and Maintenance Manual
supplied with the vehicle.
Air Induction System
WARNING
Perform a complete inspection of the air induction system.
Disassemble the joints of each aluminum component and
inspect for salt build up and chlorine that can cause aluminum
particles to flake off and enter the engine combustion chambers.
If corrosion is present (usually appears at the pipe connections),
use a wire brush to clean the inside of the pipes and inside
the rubber hoses.
Clean all components thoroughly before
reassembly.
If the intake pipes are pitted at the joint ends, silicone RTV may
be used to seal the joints. Make sure that no excess sealant is
on the inside of the pipe that can be pulled into the engine. If the
service condition of the pipes, hoses, or clamps is questionable,
replace them.
• Check for loose hoses and clamps.
• Check for ruptured or collapsed hoses.
• Check air cleaner housing for cracks.
