Foreword/5

2 Foreword

Dear reader,

One of the traditional goals in the company philosophy of EvoBus GmbH and the SETRA Buses

marque has been to ensure superlative safety.

This also extends to making information about our vehicles and their safety engineering

available to emergency rescue services.

Despite intensive efforts to make our buses as safe as possible, the possibility of injuries being

sustained “in a serious incident” cannot be entirely ruled out.

For this reason, a short, fast and effective rescue chain will continue to be essential.

Emergency responders must be capable of gaining access to the injured as quickly as possible

without further endangering the injured or themselves.

This requires that all rescue workers have in-depth training. With respect to the special

circumstances presented by buses, e.g. physical design, special means of access and safety

systems, this guide will assist you in your work at the scene and in the training of emergency

responders.

While this guide was compiled based on the current state of knowledge and with the

contribution of emergency rescue personnel, it makes no claims to completeness and in no way

acts as a substitute for in-depth training and established specialist literature on the subject of

“Technical Rescue”.

This guide is intended as a source of reference for emergency responders at incident scenes

and in training. As every accident is an exceptional situation, particularly those involving buses,

the information taken from this guide must be adapted accordingly to the individual scenario.

Tips for emergency rescue services

Tips for emergency rescue services/6

3 Tips for emergency rescue services

Rescuing accident victims from automobiles has become common practice for emergency

rescue services. It is a process that is straightforward to practise with the use of retired cars.

In the case of buses, however, the situation is different. On account of their long service life and

the high residual value that they continue to hold thereafter, it is almost impossible for rescue

teams to practise the extrication of injured persons from modern-day vehicle models.

The casualty-centred extrication of persons from buses is, by comparison with motor car

accidents, far more complex and not only because of the potentially high number of injured

passengers. As these vehicles have a more robust construction and significantly greater

dimensions and weights, the rescuing of trapped occupants is rendered more difficult and more

complicated.

3.1 Medical aspects

Whereas until a few years ago the paramount concern was freeing accident victims as quickly

as possible, the primary objectives today are the provision of initial medical care and a casualty-

centred vehicle extrication.

Exception

• Immediate danger due to fire or crash

• Snatch rescue required for medical reasons

In every case, a (frantic) dragging of the person out of the vehicle should be avoided whatever

the circumstances. The accident victim should initially be left in the vehicle for the time being to

the extent that no immediate danger to the person and rescuer exists.

The top priorities are the medical and psychological care of the casualties as well as

a gentle and casualty-centred rescue from the vehicle.

The medical actions performed in the vehicle should not go beyond that which is absolutely

necessary. For this purpose, the paramedic/rescue service has to be given access to the

casualty so that life-saving measures can be carried out.

The most important immediate measures must be performed without delay and in accordance

with the relevant medical standard.



The most important immediate measures are:

• Ensure vital functions (breathing/circulation)

• Keep airways clear and remedy breathing difficulties (with intubation if necessary)

• Prevent shock or assess shock states and take stabilisation measures

• Treat life-threatening injuries

• Stop heavy bleeding

• Immobilise certain parts of the body

• Psychological support of the casualty

As extremely high rates of acceleration act on the body in the event of a traffic accident, there

is a high risk of spinal cord injury. Where necessary, accident casualties should be immobilised

before rescue is attempted, i.e. with appropriate splinting techniques (e.g. “Stifneck”, KED

system, etc.).

During rescue operations, casualties must receive constant medical care. Gentle conduct is

absolutely crucial.

3.2 Technical aspects

• Identification of the vehicle model

• Visual inspection of fitted restraint and safety systems

• Particular bodywork characteristics affecting the use of hydraulic rescue equipment

3.3 On-scene tactical aspects

During rescue operations, numerous risks of injury for patients and rescuers exist, e.g. as a

consequence of

– running engines

– explosion of compressed-gas reservoirs and lines

– electronic devices and defective electrical lines

– hot water equipment

– coolant leakage

– air-conditioning equipment

– acid leakage

– sharp edges, metal parts, shards, etc.

Make absolutely sure that rescuers understand the importance of their own safety.



3.3.1 Response procedure

The goal of casualty-centred extrication is to ensure that the provision of care for patients is as

seamless as possible from the time of the accident to the definitive care given in hospital.

The extrication of accident victims from buses can, as with cars, be subdivided into different

phases:

1. Initial access

2. Space creation

3. Full access

By having medical and technical actions performed in parallel, it is possible to optimise time

efficiency in the casualty-centred rescue.

To achieve this, constant communication between the fire crew and rescue team is absolutely

essential.

Surveying and safeguarding the scene and the outside of accident vehicles always comes first

in a rescue operation.

Survey

• Number of vehicles involved

• Number of injured and trapped persons

• Particular technical characteristics of the vehicle

• Possibilities for access and casualty removal

• Special hazards

Outer safety

• Protect the accident scene from moving traffic

• Ensure fire safety by providing appropriate extinguishing media

• Make safe luggage, skiboxes, trailers, etc.

• Illumination of the accident scene

Give your command post immediate feedback.

Request additional support promptly; do not forget about the personnel necessary for medi-

cal care, e.g. emergency physician in charge, incident commander, rapid response teams,

etc.).

For tactical reasons (vehicle height), it is advisable to request vehicle-mounted aerial appli-

ances, e.g. turntable ladder with cage and stretcher bracket.

Refer to Section 3.3.3 Mass casualty incident (MCI).



3.3.2 Fire safety

It only takes a few minutes for an incipient fire to grow into a fully developed fire. It is vital,

therefore, to provide fire safety equipment offering three- or fourfold protection for classes A, B,

C and D.

A fire hazard exists during rescue operations primarily due to

– escaping operating fluids

– short circuit

– defective heaters

3.3.3 Mass casualty incident (MCI)

As bus accidents can result in a high number of injured persons, it is usually the case that a

“Mass Casualty Incident” response unit will also be required in addition to the “Technical

Rescue” response unit.

This calls for additional rules in respect of the emergency materials chain, spatial organisation

and incident management system.

Particular attention must be paid to the following points, especially in the case of obscure and

confined incident scenes:

• Wide cordon to be established around accident scene, road closure

• Alternative approach and exit routes for reinforcements

• Requesting of additional personnel

• Assembly staging areas for fire service, rescue service, disaster relief, police, etc.

• Deployment staging areas for fire service, rescue service, disaster relief, etc.

• Casualty collection point and treatment area

• Set up and secure a helicopter landing area

Technical information

Technical information/10

4 Technical information

Even in the bus industry, development never stops. In addition to vehicles with a conventional

petrol or diesel engine, buses with alternative drives are increasingly common on the road.

Gaseous fuel and fuel cell drives are no longer a rarity.

By comparison with the physical design of a passenger car, there are also special

considerations relating to the construction and materials used. Substantially larger dimensions

and heavier weights are to be expected, for example. Another special case is the articulated

bus, with which rescuers should familiarise themselves early on.

4.1 Diesel drive

The diesel-fuelled drive is the oldest and also the most prevalent. This is probably where the

fewest questions arise in fire safety management. However, there are some factors to consider

that are not quite so relevant when dealing with a wrecked car.

Interurban bus – combined heating-oil and

diesel tank

Tourist coach - diesel tank

4.1.1 Tank - material/capacity

Material - Plastic

- Sheet steel

- Aluminium

Capacity 200 l (city bus) up to 800 l (tourist coach)

Diesel and heating oil are assigned to fire class B under European Standard EN2,

which defines categories according to the type of material burning.



4.2 Vehicle construction

Knowledge of the physical design of any vehicle involved in an accident facilitates rescue

operations enormously. It predetermines how effectively the technical options and available

tools are put to use. This in turn forms the basis for a swift, gentle and successful extrication of

trapped persons.

4.2.1 Skeleton

The frame structure can place demanding requirements on the power rating of the

hydraulic rescue equipment!

The skeleton is of tubular construction.

• Semi-integral structure with ribs all

round, connected to continuous angle

sections at the roof edges and seams.

• Pillars, bows and beams made of large-

volume square steel tubes.

• The sidewalls of city buses have a

reinforced longitudinal member to

provide side impact protection and

support for the seating.

Skeleton (here: low-floor bus)



4.2.2 Materials

Skeleton material

• Square steel tubes

Floor frame material

Longitudinal and cross members Large-volume square tubes, or folded and pressed parts

Junctions at the cross members

(to the front and rear of the rear

axle)

Cast steel nodes

Wheel arch area Galvanised sheet steel or aluminium

- 3 mm at front axle

- 2 mm at rear axle

Panelling material

• Continuously hot-dip galvanised sheet steel or aluminium, thickness approximately 1.0 mm

• GFRP mouldings

• Sheet aluminium

The panelling is bonded, spot-welded or riveted to the skeleton.

The sidewalls and the roof are completely lined with insulating material.



4.2.3 Articulation

The front and rear cars are connected by an articulation

system.

It consists of carrier units, a self-supporting turntable and a

hydraulic unit.

The articulation is particularly robust due to the design of

the cast parts (spheroidal graphite cast iron, SG iron).

The articulation area contains a bellows and the energy

chain.

To accommodate the bending movements of the bus, the front and rear sections of the

articulation are connected by a roller bearing. The pitch axis is situated at the connection

between the front car and the articulation.

Risk of injury.

There is a considerable risk of injury when

articulated buses are being lifted.

Unforeseen movements could occur,

particularly with the articulation in flexed

condition.

Proceed with utmost care. Make sure that

rescuers understand the importance of their

own safety.

4.2.4 Dimensions/weight

SETRA buses are constructed in lengths of between 10 m and 18 m (articulated bus).

Depending on the length and axle specification, a permissible gross vehicle weight of 18,000 kg

to 28,000 kg is achieved.



4.3 Materials used

In accordance with legal requirements (EU and ECE) and based on the current state of

knowledge, fire-retardant materials are used in the interior of the vehicle.

The provisions of EU Directives 95/28 and 2001/85 EC for the complete vehicle are deemed to

have been fulfilled.

This particularly applies in the case of

• the interior equipment

• the sidewall and roof insulation

• the insulation of the engine compartment

• the insulation of peripheral equipment, etc.

4.3.1 Magnesium/aluminium

In automotive engineering, there is an increasing use of light metals such as magnesium or

aluminium. These metals are employed in the vehicle as part of engine blocks, cylinder head

covers, intake manifolds, transmission and clutch housings, instrument brackets, seat backrest

frames and door and flap structures in conjunction with other materials and structural parts of

vehicle bodies.

Magnesium and aluminium are assigned to fire class D under European Standard

EN2, which defines categories according to the type of material burning.

Risk of injury.

Magnesium and aluminium components burn

with a bright flame.

Avoid looking directly into the flames.

Magnesium and aluminium reach

temperatures of 2,000 - 3,000 °C in a fire.

Use suitable extinguishing media for metal

fires.

During combustion at very high

temperatures, some water molecules will

split to form hydrogen and oxygen. The

mixture of these two gases is the explosive

oxyhydrogen gas.

Use suitable extinguishing media to fight

fires of fire class D.

Keep another hose ready for possible

surrounding fires.

For vehicle occupants, there is no increased danger from the use of magnesium and

aluminium.

Technical rescue

Technical rescue/15

5 Technical rescue

Every technical rescue operation, especially the extrication of trapped/injured persons,

requires knowledge of the physical design of the accident vehicle.

This section provides information on the equipment of the various buses in the SETRA range.

However, as numerous items of optional equipment exist for all models, the actual design could

differ significantly from bus to bus.

If possible, ask the driver about the exact equipment and operation of the vehicle.

5.1 Fire detection/extinguishing system

For SETRA buses, a fire detection/extinguishing system in the engine compartment is available

as an option.

The temperature in the engine compartment is monitored by detection lines. As soon as the

defined value (160 °C) is exceeded, an alarm is displayed on the driver's display screen

together with the text: “Brandmeldung Motorraum” (Fire alarm engine compartment).

At the same time, the extinguishing process will be triggered. The extinguishing fluid is

atomised to a fine mist and sprayed from the extinguisher nozzles in the engine compartment.

Risk of injury.

Under unfavourable circumstances, the fire

extinguishing system may not be able to

extinguish the fire completely and

permanently.

Maintain fire safety even if the fire appears to

have been extinguished.

The fire detection lines in the engine

compartment hold a pressure of

approximately 15 bar. The extinguishing lines

hold a pressure of 200 bar.

Wear appropriate protective equipment.

2 - Nozzle 1

3 - Nozzle 2

4 - Nozzle 3

5 - Nozzle 4

Technical rescue

Technical rescue/16

5.2 Battery

Almost all buses are equipped with two or more batteries. The batteries could be located to the

front, above or to the rear of the axles.

For the exact location of the batteries in the individual model designations, refer to

Section 7 - Annex.

The battery location is not marked on the outside of the vehicle.

The batteries are mounted on pull-out carriages.

1. Open the retaining screws/split pins of the battery support frame.

2. Pull the carriage out by the handles.

3. Where batteries are mounted one above the other, loosen the retaining screws/split pins

of the upper frame.

4. Swivel the upper battery to the right.

Technical rescue

Technical rescue/17

5.2.1 Disconnecting the battery

Do not disconnect the batteries until all electrical consumers, e.g. power window in

driver's door, door openers, roof hatches, driver's seat adjustment features, interior

lighting, etc., have been used to your own advantage. This can make further stages

of the operation and the extrication of casualties considerably easier.

Once the batteries are disconnected, the interior lighting will no longer be func-

tional.

Avoid causing panic among passengers, e.g. provide vehicle illumination.

Risk of injury.

During work on the batteries, there could be

a risk of injury and explosion.

Observe the safety information on the

battery, in the user guide and in the vehicle

operating instructions.

An oxyhydrogen gas mixture could have

developed in closed battery compartments.

There could be a risk of explosion at the time

of battery disconnection.

Always pull the battery carriage all the way

out. Wear appropriate protective equipment.

In some vehicles, disconnecting the battery

could cause the driver's seat to drop.

Every uncontrolled movement could lead to a

further risk of injury or a deterioration of the

injured person's condition.

Carry out this measure only in consultation

with the emergency physician.

Instead of disconnecting the battery, it is advisable to

use the battery isolating switch.

Technical rescue

Technical rescue/18

Disconnecting the battery

1. Switch off the ignition.

2. Disconnect the negative terminal.

3. Disconnect the positive terminal.

4. Hold the positive and negative cables together to discharge voltages stored by

capacitors.

5. Prove dead, e.g. by switching on the hazard warning lamps.

6. Secure the cables against re-energisation or contact, e.g. using cable ties.

Continue to maintain fire safety even after the batteries have been disconnected.

Technical rescue

Technical rescue/19

5.3 Switching off the engine

Diesel engines could continue to run after an accident. After the vehicle has been made safe,

the engine must be switched off.

There are various ways to switch off the engine.

5.3.1 Removing the key

The ignition lock is located on the right-hand side of the steering column. Before you can

remove the key, the following prerequisites must be fulfilled:

• Accelerator pedal not depressed

• Parking brake applied

• Transmission pushbutton switch “N” pressed

5.3.2 Start/Stop pushbutton in the driver's station

Some buses are equipped with a Start/Stop

pushbutton.

This is found either

- on the console on the left-hand side of the

driver's station

- on the instrument panel.

left pushbutton: disconnect on-board power supply

right pushbutton: Start/Stop pushbutton

5.3.3 Start/Stop pushbutton in the engine compartment

In addition to the ignition lock and the driver's

Start/Stop pushbutton, there could be an

additional Start (1)-Stop (2) pushbutton in the

engine compartment.

To stop the engine using this pushbutton, the

following conditions must be fulfilled:

• Ignition lock in drive position

• Stop pushbutton (2) pressed

Technical rescue

Technical rescue/20

5.3.4 Battery isolating switch

Operating the battery isolating switch interrupts the power supply to the injection system. The

engine cuts out after 2-3 injection cycles.

Bear in mind that disconnection of the batteries will cause all electrical consumers,

e.g. power windows, door openers, roof hatches, seat adjustment features, interior

lighting, etc., to stop functioning.

5.3.5 Master safety switch

In some models, a master safety switch is fitted. This

is located on the console to the left of the driver and

is marked in red.

Operating the master safety switch switches off the

engine. The tachograph, instrument cluster, central

locking, interior lighting and roof hatches remain

operational.

1. Unlock the switch by turning the red knob anti-

clockwise

2. Operate the switch by pressing the red knob.

Technical rescue

Technical rescue/21

5.3.6 Covering the air intake

Another way is to cover the air intake with plastic film. As a consequence of the reduced oxygen

supply, a vacuum forms and the engine cuts out.

Engine air intake (1) is located in the rear end, on the right- or left-hand side of the vehicle.

City bus City bus

5.3.7 Introducing CO2

The engine can be made to stop by introducing carbon dioxide (CO2) into the air cleaner.

Technical rescue

Technical rescue/22

5.3.8 Open the engine compartment flap

Open the engine compartment flap using the two

handle recesses.

To stop the engine, you could interrupt the fuel

supply at the fuel filter in the engine compartment.

- Close handwheel (1) on the fuel filter or

- unscrew the fuel filter.

Technical rescue

Technical rescue/23

5.4 Immobilisation and stabilisation

Risk of injury.

Rescue operations could induce inadvertent

movements in and of the vehicle. This could

lead to further injuries to accident casualties

and rescuers.

Secure the vehicle against uncontrolled

movements before rescue work begins.

A casualty-centred extrication of accident victims cannot take place until the vehicle has been

adequately stabilised.

If the bus has not already been secured against rollaway by the driver, this must be done using

the parking brake (handbrake valve).

Trapped persons are held in direct contact with the vehicle. For this

reason, safety measures must be implemented to eliminate the possibility of uncontrolled

vehicle movements or parts thereof.

The safe immobilisation of the vehicle must be maintained throughout the entire rescue

operation and must not impede the use of fire service rescue equipment.

The stabilisation of upright buses or buses lying on their side is relatively unproblematic. In this

situation, the vehicle can be secured against tilting and sliding by use of chocks, support struts,

ropes and webbing.

An unstable bus or a bus lying on its roof requires extensive supporting materials and possibly

the use of a mobile crane.

5.4.1 Underpinning

The vehicle can be stabilised with cribbing blocks or beams.

5.4.2 Chocks

Chocks can be used to secure the bus against rolling away.

5.4.3 Support struts

Buses lying on their side can be secured against tilting and sliding by means of support struts or

special support systems.

Technical rescue

Technical rescue/24

5.4.4 Endless sling

If the vehicle is resting on sloping or uneven ground, e.g. a road embankment, securement can

be achieved with the endless sling and, depending on the lie, a mobile crane.

Due to the heavy weight of a bus, it is essential to take the permissible load-bearing

capacity of the webbing into consideration.

Suitable slinging points are:

- Front coupling jaw

Located behind the flap in the bumper

centre section.

- Rear coupling jaw

Located behind a flap in the

bumper centre section underneath

the number plate.

Screw the towing coupling into

locating bore (1).

Insert the rigid tow bar into towing

coupling (3) and secure with linchpin

(1). Turn linchpin (1) towards the

rear until it engages in lock (2).

Always make sure that the linchpin

is securely seated (engaged).

Technical rescue

Technical rescue/25

5.4.5 Raising the vehicle

Risk of injury.

If executed incorrectly, raising the vehicle

poses a high risk of injury for patients and

rescuers.

Raising of the complete vehicle must always

be carried out at all axles.

Between the axles underneath the sidewall

(U section), the vehicle is not stable enough

to be lifted or supported there

Raising of the vehicle could result in

unforeseeable movements and even failure

of the lifting equipment.

Underpin raised vehicles progressively using

suitable materials until raising is complete.

Do not work on vehicles until

underpinned/secured.

The jacking points on the skeleton are marked on

the outside of the bus by symbols. These points are

also suitable as lifting points for the lifting

equipment used by the fire service.

Important note for twin axles:

The driven axle and trailing axle are interconnected by the suspension. It is prohib-

ited to raise an individual axle to such a height that the wheels on the second axle

would be lifted from the ground.

Technical rescue

Technical rescue/26

If the vehicle is lying on its roof or side, the reinforced vertical struts next to the doors and on

the opposite side of the vehicle can act as slinging points for webbing or endless slings.

These points can also be used as lifting points for hydraulic or pneumatic lifting appliances, e.g.

to free persons under the overturned vehicle.

Risk of injury.

There is a considerable risk of injury when a

bus is being lifted with a mobile crane.

Always use the designated lifting points as

your slinging points for raising the bus.

Keep plenty of cribbing material ready.

Do not pull the sling through two opposite

windows and lift the bus by the roof. The

roofs are not designed to support the weight

of a bus.

If a bus is raised incorrectly, it could topple

over onto the other side.

Ensure adequate

stabilising/counterbalancing force to prevent

the bus from toppling.

If the bus is turned by the roof or if the sling

is run over the roof, the roof will suffer

serious deformation and reduce the space

above the seats.

Carry out this course of action only with the

utmost consideration for the persons inside

the vehicle.

5.4.6 Raising/lowering system/kneeling

Some SETRA buses are equipped with an air-sprung raising/lowering system.

The rotary knob for the raising/lowering system is

located on the floor of the bus to the left of the

driver's seat.

Turn the switch clockwise out of centre position to raise the vehicle.

Turn the switch anti-clockwise to lower the vehicle.

The vehicle is raised or lowered 70 mm respectively.

It might be possible to free a person trapped under the vehicle using this function.

The raising function works only with the engine running and the electrical system

functioning correctly.

If the vehicle is equipped with a “kneeling system”, you can

bring it to normal level by pressing the upper section of the

pushbutton (kneeling).

Technical rescue

Technical rescue/28

5.5 Access to the vehicle

There are various ways to create access to the vehicle.

You should first check whether access is possible through the doors. Where possible, this

should be done without substantial use of rescue equipment.

Other access solutions include removing the vehicle windows or entering through the roof

hatches or articulation bellows (initial access).

The last way would be to enlarge the existing opening for full access using rescue equipment.

However, this should be used only as the absolute last resort because there would be an

inestimable risk posed by concealed wiring, etc.

As the usable space inside a bus is so optimally versatile, there is a diverse range of

equipment and usage variants, e.g. library bus, conference bus, blood donor bus,

etc.

Nevertheless, the fundamental construction of the skeleton does not differ substan-

tially from that of the passenger transport bus.

5.5.1 Vehicle doors

The doors fitted to Setra buses can be classified into three systems:

Inwards

opening doors

Outwards

opening doors

Hinged and

sliding doors

On export vehicles, an emergency door may also be fitted:

Technical rescue

Technical rescue/30

5.5.2 Opening vehicle doors from the outside

First try to open the doors normally using the pneumatic or electric controls. If this does not

work, use the emergency valve next to the respective door in accordance with the instructions.

Only then should you attempt to open or remove the doors using mechanical aids.

Doors can often be opened without the use of technical aids.

Pushbutton

In the case of city and interurban buses,

you might be able to open the doors using

the “Open door” pushbutton on the outside

of the respective door.

Exterior door pushbutton – city bus

Door opening pushbutton

On tourist coaches, this pushbutton is fitted either

- on the door leaf (door 1) or

- in the front end, under the right wiper

arm.

Technical rescue

Technical rescue/31

Exterior emergency valve

On buses from model year 2005 onwards, an

emergency valve is fitted on the outside at

each door.

Exterior emergency valve -

example of city bus

The emergency valves on the outside of the vehicle continue to function even after

disconnection of the vehicle electrics, provided they have been unlocked from the

inside.

Technical rescue

Technical rescue/34

Square key or handwheel

EU Directive 2001/85 EC stipulates that it must always be possible to open a door

from the inside (means of escape) even when it has been locked mechanically from

the outside.

The doors can always be opened from the inside using yellow-coloured handwheel

(3).

To open the doors, turn lock (1) in the direction of the

arrow using a square key (2) or handwheel (3).

Handwheel - example of city bus

In some cases, it could be necessary to remove the doors completely in order to

rescue occupants. Also remove the handrails in the entrance if necessary.

Where possible, use hydraulic rescue equipment for this purpose rather than angle

grinders or flame cutting tools. There would otherwise be a risk of fire due to the

materials fitted in the interior.

5.5.4 Driver's door

Some vehicles are equipped with a driver's door. This

enables direct access to the driver's station.

The door is fitted with a lockable pull handle.

Technical rescue

Technical rescue/35

5.5.5 Opening the emergency exits (roof hatches)

The roof hatches are ejectable and designed as an emergency exit.

They are opened manually from the inside and outside.

The effective internal width is 505 x 807 mm (legal minimum 500 x 700 mm).

Opening from the outside

1. Pull the red handle.

The roof hatch is opened.

On older buses, the roof hatch cannot be unlocked from the outside unless the igni-

tion is switched on.

Opening from the inside

1. Pull the safety catch down.

The roof hatch is unlocked and can be

opened.

1. Remove cover (1) by pulling on handle (2)

(Velcro fastener).

Technical rescue

Technical rescue/36

2. Turn interior twist handle (1) in the direction of the

arrow (clockwise).

Emergency exit cover (2) can now be placed to one

side outside the bus.

The cover is secured by a retention strap.

Technical rescue/37

5.5.6 Removing vehicle glass

As a general rule, the windscreen is made of laminated safety glass (LSG), the door windows,

side windows and rear window are made of toughened safety glass (TSG). The panes are

bonded onto the frame.

Laminated safety glass

Risk of injury.

The windscreen made of laminated safety

glass could weigh up to 120 kg!

This means an increased risk of injury during

glass removal.

During windscreen removal, prevent it from

falling down, e.g. by breaking it into

“manageable” pieces.

Toughened safety glass

1. Cover panes of toughened safety glass with self-adhesive film.

2. Smash the glass using the spring-loaded centre punch.

3. Remove the glass from the frame.

Risk of injury.

The waistline height could be up to 2 m

above the ground, especially on tourist

coaches.

Provide sufficient scaffolding to rescue

accident victims.

Technical rescue

Technical rescue/38

5.5.7 Cutting open the articulation bellows

With articulated buses, it is possible to

create access to the vehicle by cutting

through the articulation bellows.

Technical rescue

Technical rescue/39

5.6 Driver's station

Driver's stations in buses are complex, separate areas requiring exact knowledge and the use of

special rescue techniques.

Fig. 1: Driver's station - city bus Fig. 2: Driver's station – tourist coach

Risk of injury.

Adjustment of the seat or steering column or

removal of the steering wheel could induce

decompression sickness in the person

trapped.

Extrication should be carried out only in

consultation with the emergency physician.

Make sure that neither the person trapped

nor any rescuers are put in further danger by

adjustment of the seat or steering column.

No airbags or belt tensioners are fitted in SETRA buses.

5.6.1 Cab door

The driver's cab door is usually hinged at the front. It is

equipped with a pull handle as a door opener on the inside.

Material:

- Steel frame

- GFRP

- Trim parts in foam-backed plastic film

Technical rescue

Technical rescue/40

5.6.2 Driver's seat adjustment features

For SETRA buses, a wide range of driver's seats is available. Operation of seat adjustment

features could vary by seat manufacturer.

Air-sprung suspension seats are fitted as

standard.

Some models are equipped with the following

features, which need to be taken into

consideration or even used during the rescue

of a trapped driver:

- fore-and-aft adjustment

- integrated pneumatic system with lumbar

support

- pneumatic side contour adjustment

- backrest adjustment

- seat squab depth adjustment

- tilt adjustment

- horizontal adjustment

- swivellable

The handle for seat fore-and-aft adjustment works without power and is fitted in the

same place regardless of seat manufacturer.

- Pull the handle upwards and slide-adjust the seat.

The other adjustment features of the seat normally work only if the power supply is

functioning correctly.

Cut open the bellows on the driver's seat and wedge the seat to protect the patient

from inadvertent movements.

To reduce the seat elevation, it is possible to sever the pneumatic line.

Technical rescue

Technical rescue/41

5.6.3 Steering column

The steering column offers

- height adjustment and

- tilt adjustment.

The steering column adjuster can be unlocked

pneumatically by means of a switch (1) on the

steering column (tourist coach),

or a switch on the instrument panel to the left of the driver (city bus).

Release the steering column using switch (1). The red LED in the switch lights up.

Risk of accident and injury from being distracted from the road and traffic. The adjustment of

mirrors, the driver's seat and steering wheel unavoidably diverts some of the driver's attention.

Before the mirrors, driver's seat and steering wheel are adjusted, ensure familiarity with

their operation, handling and use.

Adjust the mirrors, driver's seat and steering wheel before the start of a journey.

Check the position of the mirrors before the start of a journey and correct if necessary.

After the adjustable steering column has been adjusted, check that all instruments and

indicator lamps are still visible and correct the position of the steering column if necessary.

Re-engage the steering column after it has been adjusted.

To be able to release the steering column catch, the ignition needs to be ON.

If the driver is trapped behind the steering wheel, it is often sufficient to remove the

bottom third of the steering wheel.

The procedure for cutting through the steering wheel is the same as for a passenger

car.

Technical rescue

Technical rescue/42

5.7 Passenger compartment

After an accident, many kinds of problems are likely to be faced in the passenger compartment.

For example, there are various types of passenger seat mountings and designs, numerous

adjustment features and, in some cases, restraint systems.

As the bus is fitted with handrails, partition walls and luggage racks, some objects could

present obstacles to rescue work.

5.7.1 Occupant restraint systems

City bus Interurban bus Tourist coach

No restraint systems for

passenger seats

Restraint system possible

but not mandatory

Adjusting the backrest (window-side)

Pull back the lever between the seat squab and

vehicle wall. At the same time, push back on

the backrest.

Release lever (1) in the desired position.

5.7.3 Removing passenger seats/passenger seat mountings

As buses generally have a relatively narrow centre aisle, which restricts rescue operations

enormously, it may be necessary to remove passenger seats.

In SETRA buses, three different seat mounting systems are fitted. These can be roughly

differentiated by type of service:

City bus

Interurban bus

Tourist coach

However, crossovers could also exist, e.g. the mounting system from the interurban bus fitted

in a city bus.

5.7.4 Handrails/partition walls

Handrails

Material: coated tubular steel.

Mounted in a C-rail on the ceiling and on the seat backrests or on the floor.

Partition walls

City bus:

The partition walls could be made of

toughened safety glass (TSG). The panes are

clamped by rubber inserts in a frame of tubular

steel.

Tourist coach:

The partition walls are made of plastic.

Mounted by screws in the wall and floor.

5.7.5 Luggage racks

The luggage racks are made of extruded aluminium

profiles, the base of the rack is made of plastic or

perforated aluminium plate.

Fig. 5: Example of interurban bus

Risk of injury.

Items of luggage in the luggage racks pose a

possible risk of injury after an accident.

Secure the luggage against dropping or clear

the luggage racks before you begin rescue

work.

Technical rescue

Technical rescue/46

5.8 Separate rooms

In tourist coaches in particular, there are separate rooms in which further casualties could be

trapped or that endanger rescue efforts.

5.8.1 Lavatory

In most vehicles, the lavatory cabin is located to the

front of the entrance of door 2.

Less often, the lavatory cabin is positioned in

the rear end of the vehicle.

Risk of injury.

Some toilet systems work with chemical

agents.

Keep binding agents ready to absorb spilled

chemicals.

Observe the customary safety measures for

the handling of chemicals.

Technical rescue

Technical rescue/47

5.8.2 On-board kitchenette

The on-board kitchenette is, like the lavatory,

situated near the entrance of door 2 or in the rear end.

Fig. 6: On-board kitchenette with

coffee machine, sausage heater, boiler

Risk of injury.

The on-board kitchenette contains electrical

heating and cooling appliances.

Beware of short circuits or overheating of

appliances.

Beware of boiling water.

5.8.3 Luggage compartment

The side luggage compartment flaps could be secured

by various systems

- Square-drive locks

- Lock cylinders

- Central locking

The control for the central locking is located on the

instrument panel in the driver's station. It can be

operated only with the ignition switched on.

With the remote control, it can be operated without

the ignition switched on.

Technical rescue

Technical rescue/48

If none of the above unlocking methods is working, open the luggage compartment

flaps using a hydraulic spreader.

Check the luggage compartments for possible origin of fire. In case of fire in the luggage

compartment, remove all items of luggage to prevent the fire from spreading to the passenger

compartment.

Remove the luggage and move it to a secure collection point (role of the police).

Risk of injury.

Jammed luggage compartment flaps could

pop open during rescue operations.

Keep well clear.

5.8.4 Driver's rest area

The driver's rest area could be located to

the rear of the entrance at door 1 or

door 2.

Access:

- from the outside via flaps right and

left

- from the inside via roller shutter in the

entrance of the doors

The driver's rest area is marked with a pictogram

on the outside and at the access point inside the

vehicle.

Always check all separate rooms and open all flaps. In individual custom models,

the locations of separate rooms could differ from those of the standard specifica-

tion.

Technical rescue

Technical rescue/49

5.8.5 Skiboxes

Skiboxes may be fitted to the rear end of

tourist coaches. These boxes could, in

some cases, obscure the rear window and

hinder access to the vehicle.

Risk of injury.

The heavy weight of a laden box (up to

650 kg) could hamper rescue operations.

Unload the skibox before you raise the bus

and make the contents safe.
