6.2 EMERGENCY FILL VALVES

The vehicle is equipped with two air system
emergency fill valves to supplement the air
system when air pressure is low and engine
cannot be operated.

The rear valve

is located in engine

compartment and accessible from engine R.H.
side door (Fig. 28).

FIGURE 28: REAR VALVE LOCATION

12211

CAUTION

No other point should be used to supply air
system. The maximum allowable air pressure
is 125 psi (860 kPa).

The front valve is located in the front service
compartment close to accessory air filter
(Fig. 29).

FIGURE 29: FRONT SERVICE COMPARTMENT

These two air valves are fitted with the same
valve stems as standard tires, and can be filled
by any standard external air supply line.

The rear valve will supply air for all systems
(brakes, suspension and accessories) while the
front valve will supply air for accessories only.

CAUTION

Air filled through these two points will pass
through the standard air filtering system
provided by Prevost. Do not fill air through any
other points.

7. FRONT KNEELING SYSTEM

The kneeling system is used to lower the front of
vehicle. This allows passengers to board the
vehicle with greater ease. The kneeling action is
achieved by exhausting air from the front air
springs (bellows). This system bypasses the
height control valve to provide a fast up and
down movement of the front suspension. Only
four seconds are required to lower vehicle from
normal level to the lowered position, and
approximately the same time to raise the vehicle
back to normal level. The quick response is
achieved by an auxiliary air tank installed beside
the secondary air reservoir (for exact position,
refer to Section 12,

“Brake and Air System”).

This tank provides sufficient air supply to the
kneeling system for some successive
operations.

The system is provided with two safety features;
first, a speed switch will enable the kneeling
system to work only at less than 5 mph (8 km/h).
Secondly, the parking brake is automatically
applied, and a limit switch will keep it applied as
long as the vehicle has not returned to a certain
height where the driver will be able to manually
remove the parking brake.

7.1 PRINCIPLE OF OPERATION

Refer to the air system schematic diagram
annexed at the end of Section 12,

“Brake and

Air System”.

DOWN (FRONT KNEELING):

Both the bellows control and bellows exhaust
solenoid valves are energized, so the air control
valves release air from front air springs. The
height control valve is bypassed to ensure no air
is forwarded to air springs while lowering the
front suspension.
