High-pressure components on the roof

The gas storage system is mounted on the roof. Three kinds
of gas containers are used:
►►Alu-composite containers
►►Steel-composite containers
►►Plastic-composite containers
Depending on the model, between 4 and 10 containers are

installed with a volume of 181 to 294 litres.
Safety valve
For gas systems acc. to ECR-R 110, a high-pressure solenoid
shut-off valve is attached to each gas tank. This valve is
actuated by the engine electronic system when the ignition
is "ON" and when a minimum engine speed of > 0 rpm is 2 3
reached or by the auxiliary heating. The valves are closed in
when de-energised.

Integrated into the valves are:

►►Temperature-controlled pressure-reducing valve (melt fuse/

solobus or articulated bus.
Fuel oil tank
A heating oil tank for the auxiliary heater may be installed as
an option for articulated buses. In this case, the heating oil

5.1.1 Access points

The following overviews show the access points into the
vehicle using Lion's City and NEOPLAN Cityliner as examples.
For structural reasons, the window pillars (vertical
profiles or ring spars) may not be cut through.
Side walls
The side walls beneath the side windows can be cut out up
to the floor of the vehicle in certain sections. Access via the
side wall is not possible in the area of the axles, behind the
last axle or in the area of the tank flap.
Roof
The electrical wiring harnesses are installed in the roof at
the top right and left. For this reason, the vehicle must be
de-energised before rescue operations can be carried out on
the roof.
In principle, the roof structure can be cut out to a width of
1300 mm along its entire length. Yet accessibility may be
partially restricted by air-conditioning systems, roof ventilators
or natural gas tanks, depending on the model.
The roof structure of a coach can only be cut out to the width
of the emergency exit (roof hatch).
The number and arrangement of the roof hatches depend on
the model and equipment.

Raising the vehicle

The vehicle can be raised by approx. 60 mm above the
driving height. Depending on the model, raising and lowering
to driving height may only function if the doors are closed.
Sufficient pressure must be available for the lifting step.
►►Press the lift button until the vehicle has reached the
uppermost position.
►►Guide the underbody.
Kneeling
The kneeling function inclines the vehicle towards the door
side to facilitate boarding and alighting.
Lowering the vehicle

6.9.4 Deactivating air suspension

After lifting, secure the vehicle.
►►Switch on the hazard warning lights.
►►Switching off the ignition.
►►Remove the ignition key.
In city buses, the air suspension can be deactivated using
a key switch on the main control panel (depending on the
model). If possible, ask the driver about this option and
deactivate the air suspension in this way.
Deactivating the air suspension system using the key

switch on the main control panel
By using the key switch 1 (workshop switch), the control
function "raising and lowering", "kneeling", is taken out of
operation. The main control panel is mounted on a mounting
plate behind the driver's workplace.
►►Turn the key switch and remove it.
Deactivating the air suspension system using the main

battery switch
The air suspension system regulates the height level of the
vehicle for 10 minutes after the ignition has been switched off.
Before the vehicle is raised, the air suspension system must be
deactivated by switching off the mechanical main battery switch.
