1Introduction

10.Dec. 2010

Mitsubishi Fuso Truck and Bus Corp., as the manufacturer of Mitsubishi Fuso vehicles, publishes this body/ equipment mounting directive to provide body manufacturers with important technical information about the basic vehicle. This information must be observed by the body manufacturer in the production of bodies and equipment, fittings and modifications for Mitsubishi Fuso vehicles.

Due to the large number of body manufacturers and body types, Mitsubishi Fuso Truck and Bus Corp. cannot take into account all the possible modifications to the vehicle, e.g. performance, stability, load distribution, centre of gravity and handling characteristics, that may result from the design of attachments, bodies, equipment or modifications. For this reason, Mitsubishi Fuso Truck and Bus Corp. can accept no body manufacturer liability for accidents or injuries sustained as a result of such modifications to the vehicles if such modifications have a negative impact on the overall vehicle. Accordingly, Mitsubishi Fuso Truck and Bus Corp. will only assume liability as vehicle manufacturer within the scope of the design, production and instruction services which it has performed itself.

The body manufacturer is bound to ensure that its bodies and equipment, fittings and modifications are themselves not defective, nor capable of causing defects or hazards to the overall vehicle. If this obligation is violated in any way, the body manufacturer shall

sume full product liability. The body/equipment

unting directives enable Mitsubishi Fuso Truck and

mo Bus Corp. to instruct the body manufacturer about important aspects that must be observed when mounting its bodies and equipment, fittings and modifications.

These body/equipment mounting directives are

marily intended for the professional manufac

pri of bodies, equipment, fittings and modifications for our vehicles. As a result, these body / equipment mounting directives assume that the body manufacturer has suitable background knowledge. If you intend to mount attachments, bodies and equipment on or carry out modifications to our vehicles, please be aware that certain types of work (e.g. welding work on load-bearing components) may only be carried out by qualified personnel. This will avoid the risk of injury while also ensuring that the degree of quality required for the attachments, bodies, equipment and modifications is given.

1.3 Vehicle safety

a Risk of accident and injury

The use of parts, assemblies or conversion parts and accessories which have not been approved may jeopardise the safety of the vehicle.

You could otherwise fail to recognise dangers, which could result in injury to yourself or others.

Official acceptance by public testing bodies or official approval does not rule out safety hazards.

In many countries, parts that make ext

he vehicle can invalidate the general op

to t permit. Specifically, this concerns parts which:

• change the vehicle type approved in the general operating permit

• could endanger road users

• could adversely affect exhaust emissions or noise levels

Make absolutely sure that you comply with national registration regulations as attachments, bodies, equipment on or modifications to the vehicle will change the vehicle type approved and may invalidate the general operating permit.

2.3.1 Letter of no objection

2.3 Issue of letter of no objection

Mitsubishi Fuso Truck and Bus Corp. does not issue body/equipment approval certificates f manufactured by Mitsubishi Fuso Truck and Bus Corp. These directives only supply important information and technical specifications to body manufacturers explaining how to handle the product. For this reason, Mitsubishi Fuso Truck and Bus Corp. recommends that all work on the basic vehicle and body be carried out in compliance with the Mitsubishi Fuso body/ equipment mounting directives.

Mitsubishi Fuso Truck and Bus Corp. advises against attachments, bodies, equipment and modifications which:

• are not produced in accordance with Mitsubishi uso Body/Equipment Mounting Directives

• exceed the permitted maxi

ight

• exceed the permissible axle loads

2.4 Product safety

Both the vehicle manufacturer and the body manufacturer must always ensure that they introduce their scopes into the market in a safe condition and that third parties are not at risk of any safety hazard. If this is not adhered to they may be subject to civil, criminal and public law consequences. Every manufacturer is liable for the products it manufactures.

From this, it follows that the vehicle body/conversion

anufacturer therefore also bears responsibility for

m the following:

• the operating and road safety of the body

• the operating and road safety of parts and modifi-

tions

2.7 Quality system

World-wide competition, increased quality standards demanded by the customer from the product as a whole, national and international product liability laws, new organisational forms and rising cost pressures make efficient quality assurance systems a necessity in all sectors of the automotive industry.

For the reasons quoted above, Mitsubishi Fuso Truck and Bus Corp. urgently advises body manufacturers to set up a quality management system with the following minimum requirements:

• Does the quality management system clearly fine responsibility and aut

3.1 Selecting the chassis

When planning attachments, bodies, equipment or modification work, the selected vehicle must be checked to verify whether it fulfils the necessary requirements.

In order to ensure safe operation of the vehicle, it is essential to choose the chassis and equipment carefully in accordance with the intended use.

Along with the selection of the correct vehicle version, the required series and special equi

should be taken into consideration and be appropriate for the intended use.

pment such as

Observe the Model. The axle designation or the load capacity of the tyres has only limited relevance to the gross weight of the vehicle.

The non-availability of a vehicle version may be an indication that the vehicle is not suitable for the intended application.

3.2 Vehicle modifications

a Risk of accident

Do not carry out any modifications to major assemblies (steering, brake system etc.). Any modifications to the steering and the brake system may result in these systems malfunctioning and ultimately failing. The driver could lose control of the vehicle and cause an accident.

Alterations to the basic vehicle are permitted only within the framework of the procedures described in this body/equipment mounting directive.

3.2 Vehicle modifications

Standard production vehicles comply ex factory with EU Directives and national regulations

The vehicles must still comply with EC Directives or national regulations after modifications have been carried out.

The body manufacturer must inform the officially recognised approval authority or inspector of any modifications to the chassis when the vehicle is inspected. If necessary, present a letter of no objection from Mitsubishi Fuso Truck and Bus Corp. (e.g. drawing with approval note) or the applicable body/equipment mounting directive.

Following all work on the brake system, i.e. even if merely disassembling parts, a complete check (operation, effectiveness and visibility) of the entire brake system must be performed.

Please note the minimum weight of the vehicle including body which is specified in the homologation documents.

3.3 Dimensions, weights, overall vehicle height

a Risk of accident

The vehicle tyre load capacity may not be exceeded by overloading the vehicle beyond its specified gross vehicle weight. The tyres could overheat and suffer damage. This could cause you to lose control of the vehicle and cause an accident with possible injury to yourself and others.

Information on the permissible axle loads can be found on the vehicle model plate.

All legal provisions governing the permissible vehicle height must be taken into account when planning bodies. In the Federal Republic of Germany the permissible vehicle height is limited to max. 4 m. In other countries (and if the vehicle is operated on international services), comply with all the relevant national regulations.

Information about changes in weight is available from the department responsible  page 14.

Dimensions and weight details can be found in the drawings and technical data. They are based on a vehicle that is fitted with standard equipment. Weight tolerances of ±3% in production must be taken into consideration (2003/19/EC).

The permissible axle loads and the maximum permissible gross vehicle weight specified in the technical data may not be exceeded.

The technical data can be found in the vehicle documents or on the vehicle model plate.

a Risk of accident and injury

The use of parts, assemblies or conversion parts and accessories which have not been approved may jeopardise the safety of the vehicle.

Before installing any attachments, special-purpose bodies, equipment or carrying out any modifications to the basic vehicle and/or its assemblies, you must read the relevant sections of the vehicle Instruction Manual, as well as the operating and assembly instructions issued by the manufacturer of the accessories and items of optional equipment.

You could otherwise fail to recognise dangers, which could result in injury to yourself or others.

3.10 Special equipment

All code-specific special equipment is available from your Mitsubishi Fuso Service Centre or from body manufactur

Optional equipment (e.g. , auxiliary tanks, anti-roll bars, etc.) or retrofitted equipment increases the unladen weight of the vehicle.

When chassis are fitted with different springs or tyre sizes, the frame height can change considerably in both the laden and unladen state.

The actual vehicle weight and axle loads must be determined by weighing before mounting.

Not all optional equipment can be installed in any vehicle without problems. This applies, in particular, for retrofitted equipment because the installation space may already be occupied by other components or the special equipment may require other components.

a Risk of accident

The body must be designed in such a way that a placing of excessive load weight at the rear is prevented. The following points must be complied with otherwise the steering and braking forces necessary for safe driving cannot be transmitted.

To ensure sufficient vehicle steerability, the minimum front axle load (25% of gross vehicle weight) must be maintained under all load conditions. Consult the department responsible in the event of any deviations  page 14.

4.3 Steerability

The permissible front axle load must not be exceeded.

5.7 Corrosion prevention in welding work

In order to avoid crevice corrosion at weld seams, the welds should be made in accordance with the examples shown.

Preparation

The welding area must be free from corrosion, grease, dirt or similar contamination. If painted surfaces be welded, the paint coat must first be removed by grinding or chemical stripping. If this is not done, the paint will burn and the residues can impair corrosion resistance.

After welding work

• Remove drilling shavings.

• Deburr sharp edges.

Plug and slot welds, particularly on horizontal surfaces, should be avoided due to the risk of corrosion. If they are unavoidable, these welds must receive additional preservation. Furthermore, avoid designs which allow moisture to accumulate. These must be fitted with additional drainage holes or gaps in the weld seam.

This standard is satisfied, e.g. by bolts with electroplating and additional thick-coat sealing and zinc platelet coatings with sealer (e.g. Dacromet or Deltaseal), refer to VDA 235-104 recommendation.

Information on identifying suitable coatings can be obtained from your local bolt supplier.

Preventing contact corrosion

Direct contact between materials with different electrode potentials can lead to corrosion of the less noble mat

erial when exposed to moisture and salt ions.

5.8 Bolted connections

When selecting materials, avoid the following combinations:

• Chrome/nickel-steel with aluminium

• Chrome/nickel-steel with zinc-coated steel

Insulation by coating

Contact corrosion can be prevented by using insulation such as washers, sleeves or bushings. Even in this

e, however, the connecting points must not be

cas persistently exposed to moisture.

Vehicle cleaning and care

When the vehicle is handed over to the body manufacturer, it must immediately be cleaned of salt and dirt. If it is to be stored for some time, the vehicle must be preserved.

During modification it must be ensured that loadbearing components are additionally protected against aggressive chemicals and environmental influences. If the vehicle comes into contact with chemicals or salts (e.g. snow-clearing operations), it must be cleaned thoroughly at regular intervals.

1Insulating washer 2 Insulating sleeve

A conductive connection occurs if two different metals are brought into contact with each other through an electrolyte (e.g. air humidity). This causes electrochemical corrosion and the less base of the two metals is damaged. The further apart the two metals are in the electrochemical potential series, the more intense electrochemical corrosion becomes.

For this reason, electrochemical corrosion must be prevented by insulation or by treating the components accordingly, or it can be minimised by selecting suitable materials.

6.11 Seats and bench seat

a Risk of injury

Modifications to or work incorrectly carried out on a restraint system (seat belt and seat belt anchorages, belt tensioner or airbag) or its wiring, could cause the restraint systems to stop functioning correctly, e.g. the airbags or belt tensioners could be triggered inadvertently or could fail in accidents in which the deceleration force is sufficient to trigger the airbag. For this reason, never carry out modifications to the restraint systems.

Comply with all national regulations and directives.

6.11 Seats and bench seat

The retrofitting of original seats and/or bench seats is only permitted and possible if the necessary preinstallations exist in the vehicle, such as suitable floor assembly, reinforced cab/cab suspension. For all other seat retrofittings, corresponding evidence (belt checks, tensile tests) is required as part of an endorsement check carried out by the department responsible  page 14.
