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
as
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.
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 Owner’s Handbook, 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.
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
i
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 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

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

• testing and maintaining th

2.4.1 Guarantee of traceability
Hazards in your implement/body which become known after delivery may necessitate suppleme measures in the market (customer notification, warn­ings, recalls). In order to make these measures as effi­cient as possible, your product must be traceable after delivery.
For this purpose and to enable the Federal Office for Motor Vehicles' Central Vehicle Register (ZFZR) or comparable registers abroad to be used for deter­mining which owners are affected, we advise you to promptly file the serial number/identification number of your equipment/add-on part linked to the vehicle identification number for the truck in your databases. Similarly, it is also advisable to store the addresses of your customers for this purpose and to grant subse­quent purchasers the opportunity to register.

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

• Engine/gearbox
• Power take-offs

• Position of the centre of gravity
• Legal registration requirements (e.g. underride guard)
• Permissible and technical gross vehicle weight
should be taken into consideration and be appropriate for the intended use.

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.

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.
i
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.

3.5 Tyres
The body manufacturer must ensure that:
• the largest permissible tyres can be fitted.
• the distance between the tyre and the mudguard or wheel housing is sufficient even when snow or a skid chains are fitted, with the suspension fully compressed (including any twist) (Adherence to valid regulations).
• that the relevant information in the drawings is

3.5 Tyres

a Risk of accident
Exceeding the specified tyre load-bearing capacity or the permissible maximum tyre speed can lead to tyre damage or failure. You can lose control of the vehicle, cause an accident and injuries.
For this reason, only fit tyres of a type and size approved for your vehicle and observe the tyre load­bearing capacity required for your vehicle. Observe tyre speed index.
Comply with national regulations governing the approval of tyres. These regulations may define a specific type of tyre for your vehicle or may forbid the use of certain tyre types which are approved in other countries.
!
If you have other wheels fitted
• the brakes or components of the suspension system could be damaged
• wheel and tyre clearance can no longer be guaranteed
• the brakes or components of the suspension system can no longer function correctly.
