The inspection procedure will be thoroughly covered in your formal training. This form must be signed by the first driver each day. Be concise and specific about any problems that may occur. During your pre-trip inspection, you may find it necessary to add oil, coolant, power steering fluid, or windshield washer fluid. Bus performance after you have started may indicate a check of automatic transmission fluid is required while the bus is hot and running, which in turn may require fluid addition after your run.
All fluids listed below are available in the bus box, as well as in the shop, for after hours use.
If filling conventionals, use the black metal funnel provided. In conventionals, the oil is added through the dipstick tube. Do not overfill. If coolant is obtained from the barrel in the oil room, dilute it half with water. Power steering fluid is obtained from the bus box after hours.
