The vehicle should be parked on level ground before carrying out the pre-driving checks.
Figure 23
4A.1 - Check the engine oil level (figure 23):
 Pull out the oil dip-stick, dry the dip-stick by using of a piece of clean cloth.
 Insert it all the way in again, and then remove the dip-stick. The operating
oil level should be located between the oil marks.
NB: If you want to check the oil level just after running engine, please
wait at least 5 minutes to make sure that all the oil returns to the sump.

4A.2 - Check the coolant level (figure 24):

The engine should be cold before checking. Check to see the coolant is Coolant filling cap (Sight glass)

between the marks on the sight glass on the header tank. Add coolant only Coolant level

when necessary. TAKE CARE:

 If the temperature of the coolant is relatively high, do not open the lid
of the expansion tank as the hot coolant will spill and scald.
 The pressure valve on the expansion radiator should be opened
when adding any coolant; this is to exclude the air in the coolant pipe.
 ALWAYS be sure to use the correct coolant for the engine, as
specified by the engine manufacturer.

Figure 24

4A.3 - Check the fuel level：

The fuel level can be seen from the fuel gauge on the instrument panel. Add clean diesel as required. If the vehicle operates
in a humid area, it is advisable to keep the fuel level as high as possible at all times to reduce the amount of condensation in
the tank and in turn reduce the risk of tank corrosion. Ensure you drain water deposits regularly from the water sediment filter
in the engine bay. Ensure the filler cap and surrounding area is clean before removing the cap.
Note: ENSURE you fill with the recommended diesel.

4A.4 - Discharge the water from the oil-water separator of the engine（figure 25）

window on the oil tank (figure 29)
 To fill with oil: start the engine. slowly add oil through the top of the reservoir, until the
oil level reaches midway in the reservoir viewing mirror.
 Some air may be drawn in during the pouring process; it is important to turn the
steering wheel to the two full lock positions several times so as to exhaust the any air
bubbles from the oil storage tank.

Figure 29
4C.2 - Check the tension of the belts (figure 30):

Figure 30

 Inspect the engine belts, the fan belt and the air conditioning compressor, if any slack noted, re-tension as necessary.
 Check for any intersecting crack or not, minor lateral cracks across the width of the belt could be acceptable, cracks
along the length of the belt with a lateral crack could be unacceptable. If any wear, tear or damage, replace the
affected parts immediately.
 Over-tight or over-loose belt tensions can be harmful to the engine. The tension of the belts may be checked with a belt
tension gauge, but, to ensure the correct tension of any belt, please refer to the relevant subjects in the engine assembly
manual.

 If the engine has failed to start, operate once more. The duration for operating the starting key should not exceed 10
seconds, but DO NOT re-start again within 2 minutes. (electric motor)
 After starting for the first time each day, DO NOT set out with the vehicle, until the engine has been operated for at least
3～5 minutes at low or middle rate.
 To avoid engine damage DO NOT accelerate while the engine is in a cool or cold condition. When cold starting the
engine, the revolutions should be gradually increased. DO NOT drive the vehicle at the maximum speed until the water
temperature has reached 85°C. The engine should not operate at its maximum revolutions without any load.
 DO NOT operate the engine at idle speed for more than 20 minutes in neutral. DO NOT idle for more than 5 minutes in
drive or reverse.
 The oil pressure display should appear on the instrument panel within 15 seconds after starting the engine, otherwise,
stop the engine and check the oil level immediately.
 Increase the engine speed slowly when starting in order to ensure adequate lubrication of the bearings.

4E - Moving / driving the vehicle：

 After starting the engine, the pressure in the braking system should be above 6kg/cm 2, a buzzer will sound until the air
pressure reaches this level. The various instruments and indicators should be normal, the outlet water temperature
should be above 60℃.
 DO NOT move out with the vehicle until the brakes have been fully released.

 When driving the vehicle normally: The water thermometer should be within the range of 80℃-95℃. The oil pressure
indicator gauge should be within the range of 3-6Kpa. The indicator for the air pressure gauge should be within the range
of 6-8Kpa. The alarm will engage if the pressures are incorrect.

Please pay attention to the following while driving a vehicle:

 Stop the vehicle and check should some abnormal sound be heard, or some abnormal odour can be smelt.
 Abrupt acceleration or emergency braking should be avoided as much as possible whilst you are driving.
 Any unnecessary revving of the engine should be avoided as much as possible whilst you are driving. The engine is
likely to operate at a higher speed after changing gear position, especially when the vehicle is going downhill. In this
case, pay special attention to the pneumatic brake or retarder of the engine, as well as the service brake, these should
be used so as to control the engine speed.
 DO NOT switch off the engine while the vehicle is going downhill, since this will cause insufficient air pressure in the
braking system and malfunction of the power steering.
 AUTO TRANSMISSION VEHICLES: DO NOT select neutral when coasting down hills, as this is not only dangerous, but
can cause extensive damage to the transmission.

The vehicle will remain in good operating condition as long as the correct maintenance and operating procedures are followed.
During maintenance, the vehicle should be parked on a level dry surface with the hand-brake in the ‘ON’ position; this is to
ensure the vehicle does not move. Note: If the vehicle operates under extreme conditions, (such as bad roads, thick dust
condition and frequent stop start operations), the maintenance interval should be reduced accordingly. Carefully clean all
surrounding areas before adding fluids or changing parts.

5B - Cleaning the vehicle:

 Be careful not to pollute or damage the environment when washing the vehicle.
 Ensure the correct concentrations of cleaning detergents are used.
 DO NOT wash the vehicle in direct sunlight.
 ENSURE water is not directed onto or into the air intake system as this can cause extensive engine damage.
 DO NOT spray high pressure water onto the radiator fins; or any Electronic Control Unit (ECU).

5C - Maintaining the engine:

For up to date and correct engine maintenance information, please refer to the engine Supplier’s Operation HandManual. For
cleaning, steam is the best method for an engine and its components. ENSURE that all electrical components such as ECU’s,
alternators, starters, openings, wiring and terminals are protected from the full force of the cleaner spray nozzle. If steam is
not available, use a solvent. WARNING: Use protective clothing to avoid risk of serious injury.

5D - Cleaning the radiator:

Keep the outside of the radiator clean to enable a good air flow to pass through it.
Use compressed air or water to clean the outside of the radiator. If there is hard scale on the radiator, steam can be used to
blow and clean both sides. DO NOT USE HIGH PRESSURE CLEANERS ON THE RADIATOR FINS WHICH MAY CAUSE
DAMAGE.

Section 6 - Vehicle Maintenance
Notice: The service intervals and items that Bus and Coach International Pty Ltd suggest are only a guide for general maintenance. Please
refer to component suppliers service guides such as engine and transmission for correct service intervals and instructions. Vehicles operating
under arduous conditions require the service intervals to be reduced accordingly to suit.

Note：The very first maintenance service is to be carried out when the vehicle first reaches 5000km or before 6 months from delivery to the

customer. Complete all checks as per the 15000km service schedule in this hand Manual under section 6 and at this time ensure the engine
oil and filters plus differential oil and manual transmission (if installed) oil is replaced. (Do not change the Allison automatic transmissions oil
as this unit has synthetic Castrol Transynd oil filled from the factory which only requires replacing at 120 000km).

Note: These service intervals are to be used as a guide only and may change from time to time. Therefore it is important to confirm details
from the Supplier’s maintenance instruction Manual prior to commencement. Oil change intervals are based on mineral oil being used. Other
checks such as draining condensation from air tanks, greasing and checking of the fluid levels etc.; MUST be done in between these
recommended services. For buses operating under arduous conditions, these service intervals must be reduced. Confirm details from the

6B - Recommendations for lubricants:

6B.1 - Choosing the lubricant according to the Supplier’s Engine Manual:
During the engine’s use, some engine oil used to lubricate the pistons will be burnt (consumed) due to the high temperatures.
This ‘burning’ causes the engine oil to deteriorate and the ‘burnt’ oil contaminates the lubricant. It is therefore important that
the engine oil is replaced after a certain period. Such deterioration depends on the operating conditions as well as the quality
of the oil used. So, the time interval for replacing the oil is dependent upon usage and environment.

6B.2 - Gear lubricant:

 Allison Transmissions: Lubricant used from factory on all Allison product is Transynd – it is recommended this be
used to top up and be replaced with the same product every 120 000km
 ZF Transmissions: Lubricant used for all ZF transmissions from the factory is Dexron 3 which requires replacing every
30 000km.
NOTE: ALWAYS refer to the transmission Supplier for up to date recommendations on lubricants and service
intervals.

6B.3 - Hydraulic oil for power steering:

Applied standard: The Genera Allison C-3; The DEXRON-II hydraulic transmission oil should be chosen when the power
steering mechanism operates under a temperature lower than 10°C; If above 10°C then choose C-3 / 10W. The C-3/10W
grade oil is all-purpose oil used in a variety of conditions; The C-3 / 30 grade oil is all-purpose oil for above freezing
environments.

6B.4 - Engine coolant: Refer to engine manufacturer’s recommendations for correct product and service intervals.

6B.5 - Lubricant for the chassis:

Lithium based Extreme Pressure 2" grease "LX EP-2" should be applied to the various components.

6B.6 - Yuhuan Fan Angle Drive Oil (figure 35)：

Section 8 - Appendix

CAN instrument panel operating guide

8.1 - Introduction：
With the development of vehicle electronics, there has been an increase in electronic components and vehicle data to
monitor. The development of the ZB277 instrument panel provides for the following:
 It can process data faster and display more information; it has the characteristics of a traditional display and CAN bus
dashboard
 The instrument panel can display the data from CAN bus. Almost all of the vehicle electrics can be connected to vehicle
CAN bus, for data sources.
 The data transmitted is digitized, making it more effective to display. The pointer table driven by the stepper buttons and
the true color TFT LCD screen provide an excellent platform for the display of many electrical functions.

More Accurate Data：

Because the instrument panel transmits data and displays it using digitizing methods, it has complete error correction, and
does not produce additional errors.

Higher Reliability：
The CAN has data reliability, because of the digitizing methods; it also has a low failure rate, as it is designed for certain poor
working conditions. It only communicates with the vehicle, and provides a reliable indicator of the vehicle status.

The Simplest Wiring:

The instrument panel has only two bus (CANH, CANL), one fire wire (+24), one ground wire (GND) and one wake up wire
(WAKEUP).

The instrument panel contains alarm indicators (temperature alarm, water-level alarm and so on), operations (left turn, right
turn and so on) and states (ABS working indication, retarder working indication).
For the range of icons and their meaning, please refer to the table below. The ZB277 will display the important signals using
these icons, for instance: when one alarm signal is alight, the STOP icon will also light up to remind the driver to stop the
vehicle. When the fuel is low, the fuel icon will alight. When the water-level alarm, speed alarm, rotational speed alarm and oil
pressure alarm and so on occur, the buzzer will make the sound "Dee..., Dee...".
