General Information / Safety
Information
Vehicle manoeuvrability when the
air suspension is depressurised
The front chassis and driven axle guide
have been designed so that the bus is
guaranteed to be manoeuvrable even
when the suspension air bags are de-
pressurised.
In this condition, the whole weight of the
bus lays on the stop buffers built into
the front chassis and rear axle. They are
not used when the suspension operates
normally and only prevent the bus hitting
the axle when compression is extreme.
The stop buffers have not been designed
to be operated under continuous loading
and cannot be considered a replacement
for the normal suspension under any cir-
cumstances. Additionally, the bodywork
can be damaged (cracks etc.).

General Information / Safety Information

Danger.
Although the vehicle remains manoeuv-
rable when the suspension is depressur-
ised, it must only be driven at walking
pace to the nearest lay-by or EvoBus Ser-
vice Partner. The body must always be
secured at the correct points by using
jacks and floor stands whenever work is
carried out on the pneumatic suspension
system as the vehicle body can sink relat-
ively quickly if there is an air loss.
