Make sure the interior mirror is clean and adjusted to provide a clear view of the entire rear of the bus
including the rear windows. To adjust the mirror, loosen the bolts and nuts in the slotted holes. After moving
the mirror to the desired position, tighten the bolts and nuts.
Make sure windows are free of dirt, fog, condensation and snow. Make sure the driver and passenger
windows can open and close completely.
For engine starting procedures, reference (Starting Procedures, page 107).
NOTE: All remaining checks are to be performed with the engine running.
With engine running, check gauges for oil pressure, temperature, alternator, and fuel levels.
Look through the windshield to inspect both wipers for signs of wear, damage, or signs of aging on the
rubber blades. Check wiper operation.
Make sure the door opens and closes completely. Make sure the entry steps are clear, and the treads
are secure and are in good condition.
Inspect for interior heater fluid leaks and check fan operation at all heater locations.
Sound the horn. Turn on the heater and defroster. Check the windshield wipers and washers for proper
operation. Using cross-view mirrors and another person, or the lamp check system, verify that the front and
rear exterior directional signal lights are working. Make sure that all interior lights are working properly.
