SAFETY PRECAUTIONS MUST BE FOLLOWED ACCORDING TO ACCEPTED INDUSTRY
STANDARDS AND LOCAL/PROPERTY REQUIREMENTS.
Stop welding 45 minutes before planning to leave the bus.
Ensure that partitions/welding curtains are placed around the work area.
General Information:
Read and understand this work instruction before starting the repair.
Study and familiarize yourself with the work area before starting the repair.
Before starting the work, make sure that all tools, protective equipment and parts are
available.
Any deviation from this work instruction should be discussed prior to performing any work
that does not conform to this work instruction.
Record bus number, mileage and date of completion and report weekly to Kalman Takacs.
General Preparation before Welding is Performed
1. Start bus and check driver’s dash for warning lights. Record and report any warning lights
(for example check engine light) to the garage foreman.
Driver’s dash with no issue-lights
2. Inspect rear marker lights, engine compartment lights, back up alarm for proper operation.
These components will be disconnected and they must work exactly as they were before.
Report any issues to the garage foreman before you start disassembling the bus.
3. The charge air cooler (CAC) and coolant radiators will be disconnected and removed from
the bus. Inspect them for any visible damage, leak, etc. and report findings (if any) to the
garage foreman before start disassembling the bus.

9. Disconnect the 2-way weather pack connector at the fire suppression bottle, located at the
street side compartment in front of the rear axle.
10. Protect repaired area from damage, grinding spark and welding splatter by using fire proof
blanket(s).
General Welding Instruction:
1. Remove coating material and primer from surfaces subject to be welded by using grinding
tools and wire wheels. Primary condition of good quality weld is a perfectly clean metal
surface.
2. Remove dust and degrease cleaned areas with acetone.
3. Weld only a completely clean surface! Grind surfaces with grinding disk suitable for stainless
steel material.
4. To prevent gas defects of the weld joints welding should be performed only in closed
production area protected from currents of air. Ensure adequate ventilation.
5. Welding parameters must be in accordance with attached Welding Procedure Specification
(WPS) NABI-2014-001 SS sheets.
6. Weld joints should be 100% visually inspected.
7. Protect repaired area from damage during welding.
Make sure that no cracks are present at the side wall structure. If crack was found, then follow the
steps below:
Find the end of the crack (it is recommended to use magnifier or dye penetrate),
Drill a 1/8” size hole at the end of the crack,
