Introduction

The user information supplied with each bus is intended for use only by persons who are qualified to operate the bus. The user information is split into the following parts:

The Driver's Operating Instructions are intended to answer all important questions concerning operation of the bus in a concise and clearly understandable manner.

More detailed and complete information, as well as further information relevant to safety, can be found in the Operating Instructions.

The Maintenance Record serves as a guide to the technical care of the bus. It contains all the information on maintenance intervals and maintenance tasks as well as pages for confirming that the maintenance work has been carried out.

Please make sure that you read the “Safety” section before you use the vehicle for the first time. Before the bus is driven, please make sure that you have read and understood the contents of these Operating Instructions.

Items of optional equipment are also described, if their operation needs explanation. The bus delivered to you has been customised in accordance with your order, therefore some descriptions and diagrams may differ from the equipment on your bus.

The Driver's Operating Instructions, the Operating Instructions and the Maintenance Record are important documents and must always be carried in the bus.

Our buses are the subject of ongoing development. You are therefore asked to appreciate that we reserve the right to make modifications to the design, equipment and technical features. For these reasons, no claims can be made based upon the contents of this user information.

Environmental protection

The declared policy of EvoBus GmbH is one of integrated environmental protection. This policy starts at the root causes and encompasses in its management decisions all the consequences for the environment which could arise from production processes or the products themselves.

The objectives are for the natural resources which form the basis of our existence on this planet to be used sparingly and in a manner which takes the requirements of both nature and humanity into account.

Operate your vehicle in an environmentally responsible manner and you will help to protect the environment. Fuel consumption and wear in the drive train (engine, clutch, transmission, axles, brakes, tyres) are extremely dependent on your driving style.

We hope you enjoy driving your bus. EvoBus GmbH

Operating safety

Important notes:

Any work or modifications that have been carried out incorrectly on the bus may result in malfunctions.

Tampering with electronic components and their software may cause malfunctions. As electronic components are networked, these malfunctions may also cause other, indirectly related systems to malfunction. These malfunctions may jeopardise the operating safety and reliability of the bus.

Retrofitted electrical or electronic devices must possess type-approval complying with Directive 95/54/EC or ECE Directive 10/02.

Materials that are fitted in the bus during the course of installation, conversion or modification work and that are subject to mandatory firetesting requirements must also satisfy the conditions of EU Directive 95/28/EC.

Materials and components in seats and seat fixtures that are also fitted in the bus during the course of installation, conversion or modification must also satisfy the following directives: 76/115/EEC as amended by 96/38/EC, 74/ 408/EEC as amended by 96/ 37/EC, 77/541/EEC as amended by 96/36/EC

When such materials and components are purchased or installed, care shall be taken to ensure that they are appropriately certified. Use of materials and components that do not possess the certificate referred to above can result in the operating permit being invalidated.

Stickers

with the permissible type of operation of the class concerned.

For instance, this means that, in the case of a bus being used in accordance with class 2, it is necessary to ensure that the bus is operated with seating having no aisle-side sideways adjustment.

Stickers

There are various warning stickers affixed to your bus. These are intended to make you and others aware of various dangers. Therefore, do not remove any warning stickers unless it is expressly stated on the sticker that you may do so.

Danger.

If you remove warning stickers, this could result in you or other persons failing to recognise dangers. You or others could be injured as a result.

Navigation and global positioning system

Please follow the instructions below if your bus is fitted with a navigation system:

Danger.

Please devote your attention primarily to road and traffic conditions. Do not operate the navigation and positioning system unless the bus is stationary. Please remember that your bus covers 14 m every second when it is only travelling at approximately 30 mph (50 km/h). The navigation system is unable to detect the maximum load-bearing capacity for bridges or the maximum permissible height for driving through underpasses. The driver is responsible for ensuring that bridge load-bearing capacities and maximum headroom clearance are not exceeded.

Safety

Operation of the radio and mobile communications equipment

(e.g. telephone, radio, fax machine, etc.)

Danger.

Please devote your attention primarily to road and traffic conditions. Do not operate the display unit, radio or mobile communications equipment unless the traffic situation permits this to be done safely. Please remember that your bus covers 14 m every second when it is only travelling at approximately 30 mph (50 km/h).

Note:

In the Federal Republic of Germany, Section 23, Paragraph 1a of the German road traffic regulations (StVO) prohibit a vehicle driver from using a mobile phone or an on-board telephone/intercom if this use involves lifting up or holding the mobile phone or the telephone/intercom handset.

Danger.

Please observe local legal requirements governing the use of mobile phones or on-board telephones/intercoms in force in the country of vehicle operation.

Operation of mobile phones and radio equipment without an exterior aerial

We advise against making or receiving telephone calls in buses not equipped with an exterior aerial as the operation of radio transmitters, which include but are not limited to radio telephones (mobile phones), may cause inadequately shielded equipment (cardiac pacemakers included) to malfunction.

Note:

If a mobile phone, radio system or fax machine is retrofitted in the bus in a manner that does not comply with EvoBus installation specifications, the operating permit for the bus could be invalidated (EU Directive 95/54/EC).

Safety

Washing the outside of the bus in an automatic vehicle wash

Note:

Older peripherals (e.g. ticket-printing machines, ticket-cancelling machines, destination displays, etc.) that are still used in new buses must comply with the technical requirements of EC Directive 72/245 EEC.

Danger.

Please observe local legal requirements governing the use of mobile phones or on-board telephones/intercoms in force in the country of vehicle operation.

Washing the outside of the bus in an automatic vehicle wash

M88_00-0013-01

Prior to washing the bus you must check that the roof hatches, driver's window and the doors are closed.

Set the heating/ventilation/air-conditioning system to air-recirculation mode (Smog button).

The windscreen wiper must be set to speed 0, otherwise the rain sensor could be activated and trigger undesired wiping. This could result in damage to the vehicle.

Before you wash the bus, fold both integral mirrors inwards towards the windscreen either manually by means of pivot joint (1) on the mirror arm or, with electric mirrors, using the mirror adjustment button on the instrument panel (option).

Remove any attachment parts that may be fitted (e.g. satellite receiver on the roof) prior to washing.

After the bus has been washed, you must fold the integral mirrors outwards again (manually or electrically, depending on vehicle equipment).

Safety

Storage space for hand luggage

T68_00-0018-31

The storage spaces above the passenger seats are suitable for light hand luggage items only.

Danger.

Occupants may be injured if the bus is braked sharply, changes direction suddenly or is involved in an accident due to objects being thrown around the bus. Heavy or hard objects should therefore not be carried inside the bus without being secured.

Driver's rest area safety precautions

The driver's rest area must only be used by the bus driver (second driver).

The on-board telephone may only be used by the driver in accordance with legal requirements. Observe the legal requirements of the country concerned.

Windscreen wiper system safety precautions

M54_00-1058-71

Danger.

RISK OF INJURY. The battery isolating switch 01S01 must always be switched off before any work is carried out on the windscreen wiper system (wiper blade cleaning, replacement of wiper blades or wiper motor etc.).

Safety precautions for the air-conditioning system

Safety precautions for the airconditioning system

Air-conditioning systems that are operated with refrigerant R 134 a are labelled with appropriate stickers and/or plates on the compressor.

Never mix R 134 a refrigerant and the corresponding Triton SE 55 refrigerator oil with other products.

In accordance with current good engineering practices, it is prohibited to allow refrigerant to escape into the environment when operating, servicing or decommissioning air-conditioning systems.

Refrigerants and refrigerator oils must be disposed of or recycled separately by type and nature.

Only persons having the relevant and necessary specialist knowledge, technical equipment and official approval (by health and safety inspectorate, local authority, TÜV or equivalent) are permitted to carry out maintenance work on airconditioning systems and take back refrigerants and oils.

The operator must maintain a logbook auditing the consumption of refrigerant and refrigerator oils.

Danger.

In automatically controlled air-conditioning systems, the ventilation blowers of condenser or evaporator units may start up at any time. Therefore, always switch the ignition starter switch to OFF before any cleaning work is carried out. Do not reach into the fan blades or fan rollers. Avoid any contact with refrigerant as there is a risk of frostbite. Treat affected skin areas as for frostbite, and seek medical attention immediately. Carry out maintenance and repair tasks with the engine switched off whenever possible. Keep a safe distance from moving parts (e.g. belt drive) when the engine is running.

Operation of auxiliary heating

Danger.

Risk of fire and burns. There is a risk of fires and burns due to the high exhaust temperatures and the hot exhaust pipe for the auxiliary heating. For this reason, do not stop or park the bus over ignitable materials (e.g. grass) when the auxiliary heating is in operation, has recently been in operation or has been operated by the immediate heating button/preset clock.

Danger.

Risk of poisoning and suffocation. The auxiliary heating must not be used in enclosed spaces such as garages or workshops due to the risk of poisoning and suffocation. It must also not be used in timer or preselection mode.

S 411/415 HD, S 415 HDC, S 415/416/417 HDH/04.2012 GB

Danger.

Risk of explosion. The auxiliary heating must be switched off at filling stations and fuel dispensing systems due to the risk of explosion.

Danger.

Risk of fire. The auxiliary heating must remain switched off in places where ignitable vapours or dust can accumulate (e.g. in the vicinity of filling stations, fuel, coal, sawdust and grain stores or similar).
