General precautions
This Chapter contains the specifications and requirements to be followed during repair and
maintenance of the bus in order to avoid personal injuries and property losses arising from improper
operations or negligence and thus guarantee repair quality.
1. Key safety precautions
Improper or incorrect operations may cause troubles and accidents and thus personal injuries and (or)
property losses. Please consult your local distributor of Golden Dragon if you have any doubts on the
repair and maintenance of the bus.
Please strictly observe the operating requirements specified in column ‘Warnings’ to guarantee
operating safety as the No. 1 priority.
Warnings
Please observe the following requirements in addition to the precautions or warnings in each chapter
during operation of the bus so as to avoid any personal injury and (or) property loss.
Wear a pair of protective goggles to protect your eyes.
Remove all finger rings, watch, tie, loose jewelries and loose clothes before operation is started on
the bus.
Tie your long hair reliable behind your head.
Reliably pull up the parking brake, place the gearlever at ‘Neutral’ or ‘N’ position and block each
wheel with a wedge before operation is started on the bus.
The engine shall be shut off normally and the starting switch shall be disconnected unless it needs
to run. It is recommended to remove the key from the switch.
In order to avoid severe scalds, the operator shall avoid touching hot metal parts like engine,
exhaust manifold, radiator, muffler, exhaust pipe and tail pipe.
Do not smoke while working on the bus because the engine’s fuel and the gases discharged from
the battery are both inflammables.
Take special care while working on the battery because it contains corrosive sulfuric acids.
Take care to avoid short circuits as there are high currents in the cables of battery and starter.
Otherwise, personal injuries and (or) property losses may be caused.
Please carefully read and observe the Operating Instructions before using the jack.
Use a safety bracket to support the bus if it is necessary to work underneath the chassis. It is
dangerous to work under the chassis if the bus is merely supported by one jack.
If it is necessary to run the engine with the engine hood opened, please ensure that the parking
brake is reliably actuated, the wheels are properly wedged and the gearlever is placed at the
‘Neutral’ position before startup.
In order to avoid inhalation of carbon monoxide, please run the engine only in a properly ventilated
place.
The operator shall keep himself and his clothing and tools far away from various moving parts
when the engine is running, e.g. cooling fan and belt. Please take care not to step on or grip at
various types of pipes and hoses with efforts to avoid damages.
Please take care not to leave any tool in the engine compartment. Otherwise, the tools may collide
with the moving parts to cause personal injury.
