KNEELING SYSTEM
This system enables passengers to get on and off
the coach without any difficulty by lowering the
front end. The system operates rapidly; taking

Consequently, the driver cannot inadvertently
operate the kneeling system at higher speeds.
HI-BUOY SYSTEM
The coach can be equipped with a front Hi-Buoy
or full Hi-Buoy.
The front Hi-Buoy system has the same functions
as front kneeling. It enables passengers to get on
or off the coach easily by raising the front end
about 4 inches (100 mm). The front Hi-Buoy is
combined with front kneeling to increase flexibility
of the system (See item #12 on page 2-4).
The full Hi-Buoy system raises both the front and
rear sections of the coach about 4 inches (100
mm). It can be used to enable passengers to get
on or off the coach easily, to safely travel roads
with high obstacles and to board Ferry Boats etc.
(see item #12 on page 2-4 and indicator light #1
on page 2-9).
NOTE: The Hi-Buoy system does not operate
when the coach is travelling over 5 mph (8 km/h).
Consequently, the driver cannot inadvertently
operate the Hi-Buoy system at higher speed.
LOW-BUOY SYSTEM
This system lowers both the front and the rear
sections of the coach about 4 inches (100 mm). It
enables the coach to drive through underpasses
where the height is less than 130.7 " (3.3 m), the
ground is level and your vehicle is equipped with
standard tires.
