Controls
The accelerator pedal controls the
engine and bus speed.
The brake pedal controls the
application of the bus service brake
and integral transmission retarder. Use
of the retarder will increase the service
life of the brake linings and drums.
Light braking applications will utilise the
retarder first with increasing pedal effort
applying both the retarder and service
brakes.
The parking brake (handbrake) is
applied by pulling back the lever until it
locks into position. To release the
parking brake, the sleeve on the lever
must first be lifted, then push the lever
fully forward.
WARNING
It is essential to apply the
parking brake when leaving
the vehicle.
CAUTION
Overheating the brakes may
increase the distance
required to stop the vehicle.
