First Service On New Vehicle - PREVOST Motorcoach XL Series Operator's Manual

CARE & MAINTENANCE
When a full draining is required, clean main tank
by repeating the draining and filling operations
while leaving the auxiliary sump tank drain valve
opened. Close valves and pour a pack of
commercial toilet deodorant
#900329) in toilet before adding the antifreeze and
starting final filling of main tank.
WARNING
: The toilet deodorant contains
products that can be very irritating to skin. Use
rubber gloves when handling and then clean toilet
seat.
WARNING:
Antifreeze must comply with the
effective environmental act.
CAUTION:
When cold weather is expected and
there is no antifreeze in the tank, both sump tanks
must be drained.
NOTE:
If there is no antifreeze solution in the
tank, there is less risk of freezing if engine is
operating due to the heat it produces.
New vehicles do not have an antifreeze solution in
the sump tanks at time of delivery.

Differential oil
Factory-filled oil in differential on new vehicle
should be drained and refilled between 1,000
miles (1 600 km) and 3,000 miles (4 800 km) of
initial operation, then according to the lubrication
and servicing schedule.
Coolant filter
The coolant filter is designed to recover the
soldering residues trapped inside coolant lines
during their initial assembly; perform initial
element changing
approximately 3,000 miles (4 800 km), then
according to the lubrication
schedule. The coolant filter is mounted in A/C &

3000 miles (4800 km), but never exceeding 5000
miles (8000 km).
Engine oil
There is no special break-in period since engine
break-in has been done in factory; Therefore oil
should be changed according to the lubrication
and servicing schedule intervals. Check the oil at
run
every fuel filling. If necessary, add sufficient oil to
raise the level to the proper mark on dipstick.
