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 handbook 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 booklet 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
Supplier’s maintenance booklet prior to commencement.
