EMERGENCY ESCAPE
Roof Hatch
Two escape hatches are located in the roof for
emergency exiting (Figure 55.). To open in case of an
emergency, follow the instructions on the applicable
roof hatch.
Figure 55.
A prop rod is located in the hatch opening.
Figure 56.
The roof hatch may be partially propped open
by the operator for ventilation purposes when
it is safe to do so.
Before doing so, the operator should ensure
that the coach will have adequate roof
clearance with the partially opened hatch
throughout the operator's intended route of
travel. The partial opening should not be
performed while the coach is in motion.
In no event should the roof hatch be fully
opened for ventilation or any other purpose
while the coach is being operated.

Side Windows
Select side passenger windows can be opened
from inside for emergency escape purposes. These
non-bonded side windows are top hinged, and open
from the inside.
To open, lift the release bar at the lower edge,
disengaging the safety latches. Push the window out.
Emergency instructions decals are attached to the
release bars (Figure 58.). Inspect regularly to assure
the decals are legible.
Figure 57.
Figure 58.
Do not open the side windows while the
coach is moving.
Windows close with enough force to cause
injury. Ensure that hands are clear.
