ZERO EMISSION CITY BUS Owner’s 
Manual 

 

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 differential 

oil is replaced. 

 

Note:    

These service intervals are to be used as a guide only and may change from time to time. Therefor 

 

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.
