SEAT BELT MAINTENANCE
For safety, you should check the condition of your seat belts regularly.
Pull each belt out fully and look for frays, cuts, burns, and wear. Check
that the latches work smoothly and that the belts retract easily. Any belt
not in good condition or not working properly will not provide good
protection and should be replaced as soon as possible.
CLEANING MOTOR COACH
The coach body should always be kept clean. Wash the coach at the
end of every driving day. Do not use any type of harsh chemicals or
utensils to prevent damage to the body and paint.
•
Keep the seal strips of the doors and windows in good condition.
Inspect for damage and replace if needed.
•
Do not wash or rinse the painted surface of the bus with hot water,
alkaline water, kerosene or any type of oil. These types of products
could damage or ruin the paint.
•
Check the connecting portions between the chassis and the body
and repair any abnormal conditions that may be discovered.
•
Check the fasteners within the interior components of the coach
and tighten them as needed.
•
Check the condition of the passenger doors and make adjustments
as needed.
•
Check the lights and lamp conditions of the coach. If any damage is
discovered, replace it immediately.
Interior
Sweep or vacuum cabin daily. Clean up spills as soon as possible to
prevent injury and to prevent permanent stains. If necessary, hand
wash belts in warm water with neutral soap. Keep buckles dry! Rinse
thoroughly and allow to dry.
Exterior
Please clean your motor coach at approved washing sites. Do not wash
motor coach in direct sunlight. Use clean water to rinse motor coach
from top to bottom. Ensure that water does not pass through the air
filter into the engine. Do not spray water on the radiator grilles on the
right or left sides of the motor coach.
Wash the motor coach as needed. To remove light dust, wipe off with a
clean damp cotton towel or chamois. Always use a separate cloth or
sponge when washing the painted surfaces. The other areas, such as
steps, bumpers, and tread plate; could leave abrasive materials on the
cloth or sponge that could scratch the painted surfaces. Never use shop
rags.
Wash off all salts, highway deicers, petroleum, industrial fallout, and
chemicals as soon as possible. All exterior surfaces should be washed
(top, sides, and underbody).
To wash, use warm water and mild soap. Use caution when pressure
washing. Always use a wide fan, and care must be taken not to get too
close to the vehicle or any striping, lettering, labels, or vinyl overlay.
After washing, rinse the body thoroughly with water. Soap residues can
damage the finish.
