Introduction

The user information supplied with

each bus is only intended for use

by those persons who are qualified

to operate the bus. The user

information is split into the

following parts:

The Driver's Operating Instructions

are intended to answer all import-

ant questions concerning operation

of the bus in a concise and clearly

understandable manner.

More detailed and complete inform-

ation, as well as further information

relevant to safety, can be found in

the Operating Instructions.

The Maintenance Record serves as

a guide to the technical care of the

bus. It contains all the information

on maintenance intervals and main-

tenance tasks as well as pages for

confirming that the maintenance

work has been carried out.

Please make sure that you read the

“Safety” section before you use the

vehicle for the first time. Before the

bus is driven, please make sure that you

have read and understood the contents

of these Operating Instructions.

Items of optional equipment are also de-

scribed, if their operation needs explana-

tion. The bus delivered to you has been

customised in accordance with your or-

der, therefore some descriptions and

diagrams may differ from the equipment

on your bus.

The Driver's Operating Instructions, the

Operating Instructions and Maintenance

Record are important documents and

must always be carried in the bus.

Our buses are the subject of ongoing

development. You are therefore asked

to appreciate that we reserve the right

to make modifications to the design,

equipment and technical features. For

these reasons, no claims can be made

based upon the contents of this user

information.

Environmental protection:

The declared policy of EvoBus GmbH

is one of integrated environmental pro-

tection. This policy starts at the root

causes and encompasses in its manage-

ment decisions all the consequences for

the environment which could arise from

production processes or the products

themselves.

The objectives are for the natural re-

sources which form the basis of our ex-

istence on this planet to be used spar-

ingly and in a manner which takes the

requirements of both nature and human-

ity into account.

You can also help the environment by

operating the bus in an environmentally-

friendly manner. Fuel consumption and

wear in the drive train (engine, clutch,

transmission, axles, brakes, tyres) are ex-

tremely dependent on your driving style.

We hope you enjoy driving your bus.
