IMPORTANT
Reading the “Guide for the Fitting of Bodywork for the MIDLUM series”

The “Guide for the Fitting of Bodywork for the RENAULT MIDLUM series” ushers in a new type
of presentation for bodywork fitting guides.

This new presentation sets out in one single document all those details which are necessary
for the bodybuilder and equipment manufacturer to have available.

The present document consists of three sections:
A - “General features”: This describes the relevant general principles and basic rules applicable

for the conversion and fitting of equipment to vehicles in most cases for the majority of
applications.

B -“RENAULT MIDLUM special bodybuilding features”: This deals in greater detail with presen-

tation of the vehicle, attachment of the body, electrical pre-arrangements, trade vehicles
and trade packs.

C -“Supplementary information on the RENAULT MIDLUM Euro 3 vehicle”: This deals in

greater detail with power take-offs, air-operated and specific equipment, assembly of
equipment to chassis and cab.

If a topic is dealt with in the three sections, the relative information may be:

- complementary: in this case the “Special bodybuilding features” section provides details or
values relating to the topic dealt with in “General features”.

- partially or fully contradictory: when the RENAULT MIDLUM vehicle is endowed with a
special feature whose characteristics go against general principles. In such case, the ele­ments regarding this specificity in the “Special bodybuilding features” section supersede
those dealing with the same topic in the “General features” section.

You may need, when looking for information on a specific point, to consult the three “General
features”, “Special bodybuilding features” and “Supplementary information on the RENAULT
MIDLUM vehicle” sections, so as to ensure that you have obtained all the relevant details.

The information given by the Manufacturer in this document is compiled in relation to
the technical specifications in force on the date of drafting of the document.
It is subject to modification in the event of changes made by the OEM during the manu­facture of the different units and accessories for vehicles of its make.

1.4 Quality assurance

Our permanent objective is to give satisfaction to our customers and we must achieve this in full on the final
product consisting of a chassis, bodywork and/or an item of equipment.

In order to achieve this objective, RENAULT TRUCKS expects from all those co-operating with it in the field
of mounting bodywork and equipment supply to implement a Quality Assurance System.

RENAULT TRUCKS can demand proof for the execution of all bodywork, the fitting of equipment or modifi­cation of a basic truck, in accordance with Standard ISO 9000, of:

- The conformity with all legislation, EC Directives and national regulations,

- The compliance with the manufacturers’ directions,

- The control of quality of the execution of the work.

This is done with the knowledge that, on the face of it, the vehicle is considered as complying with the
whole of the regulations.

1.6 General instructions

When building and fitting a body (including such equipment as rear run-under guards), a certain number of
requirements and a certain number of vital requirements specific to each type of vehicle must be taken into
consideration. These various points relate to maintenance, accessibility and the circulation of fluids.

Examples:

- Ease of access to the various maintenance and lubrication points, to the fuel tank and fuel gauge, to the

batteries and the various electrical terminal boxes.

- The ability to easily dismantle the various component parts of the transmission and the suspension.

- Access to the circuits for air-intake, exhaust, and fuel supply.

- Taking into account the wheel movement detailed on the bodywork drawing (i.e. take care to allow for snow
chains; extra clearance must be provided).

- Ventilation of the brake drums and discs and the battery compartment.

- The radiator inlet and outlet areas, which must not be modified.

- Full compliance with the dimensions and weights specified in our technical documents. Under all circum­stances, the bodybuilder must ensure free movement and safe operation of all the moving component parts
of the chassis (i.e. springs, prop shaft, etc.)

- The addition of a body must not affect the vehicle running and driving safety. Take care to ensure that a
balanced distribution of the loads on the right and the left hand sides of the vehicle is obtained.

- For any bodywork installation, a calculation of load distribution must be made for each axle, in order to check
that the weight imbalance between the right and the left hand side is below 4%.

- The flow of the coolant must be maintained at all times. It is, therefore, not allowed to blank off, even par­tially, the air intakes provided (on the radiator grille or the front end). Orange ADR or similar “Hazardous
Substances” plates should be affixed to solid surfaces (i.e. without vent holes).

On the arrival of a vehicle in your workshop for body fitting, we recommend that you should check one hour
after the arrival of the vehicle, the state of charge of the batteries.

During the period for the fitting of the bodywork, you should particularly check that:

- The vehicle is not run without a battery.

- Do not move the vehicle on the starter motor.

- Do not use a booster starter.

- Ensure that the tyre pressure is checked and tyres inflated to the correct value where necessary.

- Protect body components or items of trim against all damage.

- Refit the original batteries, where these have been taken off.

IMPORTANT

- Whatever work you are doing on the vehicle, you must switch off the electrical circuit at the master switch or
by disconnecting the batteries in order to avoid any risk of electric shock during work.

- When a vehicle is laid up (i.e. at a standstill for longer than 10 days), disconnect the electrical circuit by remo­ving the fuse or by the circuit-breaker so as to avoid discharge of the batteries through the tachograph.

RENAULT V.I. 04/02 A6 DT 4/366

The information contained in this manual is only applicable to bodywork in steel. For aluminium bodies, refer
to the Product Applications Department of RENAULT TRUCKS.

It is forbidden to weld, grind, cut up, drill or heat the sidemembers or cross-members unless the contrary is
clearly stated. These operations may only be carried out in conformity with the recommendations laid down
in the present document.
Any special case, any bodywork fasteners and fittings not described in this manual must be submitted for our
approval prior to use.

Before commencing the fitting of any bodywork, you must consult:

- The Vehicle Technical Data Sheet,

- The bodybuilders drawing and the relevant calculation sheets which relate to the body to be fitted,

- The vehicle driving and maintenance handbook.
If you do not have these items available, you should obtain them from RENAULT TRUCKS Dealers or the

Product Applications Department.
In the technical manual and on the bodywork drawing is stated the permitted maximum and minimum length

of body; we would strongly advise you to stay within these limits.
Furthermore, it should be noted that the changing of position of a component such as spare wheel, tank, etc.,

the modification of a chassis without uniform weight distribution or the fitting of an over-cab extension, causes
a modification of the load distribution of a fully equipped chassis in every single case.

Modification to load distribution must be compensated for by an alteration in the permitted length for body­work. It then becomes necessary to calculate the new position of the centre of gravity of the bodywork.

The weights specified in our technical data sheets refer to standard vehicles, ready for the road, without optio­nal extras.
Furthermore, the weight of chassis cab is given with a tolerance of plus or minus 4%.

Optional equipment such as reinforced springs, power take-offs, different tyre fitments, will cause an increa­se in weight for the basic chassis.

For these reasons, when weighing the chassis cab, bodybuilders should weigh:

- The front axle(s),

- The rear axle(s),

- The complete vehicle,
without driver, without passenger, but with full fuel tanks and with vehicle on-board tool kit.

For the preparation and attachment of the various types of bodywork, it is preferable not to take off the wheels,
unless absolutely necessary.

Nevertheless, you must take the precautions set out below:

- It is forbidden to paint the bearing surfaces of the wheel rim hubs and the seating for wheel nuts.

- During fitting, make certain that the parts are perfectly clean prior to fitting.

- Tighten the wheel nuts to the torque recommended (cf. vehicle driving and maintenance handbook)
Installation fitted with key-operated locks: the section of such keys must be very different to that used for the

vehicle keys. Indeed, these keys should not be able to be put into the vehicle locks by mistake, thus avoiding
any risk of damage to the barrels of the locks.

1.7 Safety on tilt cabs

After the conversion of standard cabs by the bodybuilders, (i.e. extension, bunk adaptation, over-cab exten­sion, etc.) because the weight distribution has changed, the tilt system may no longer meet the requirements
of the safety standards.
Under these circumstances, and without prior agreement from the manufacturer, the full and entire responsi­bility rests with the bodybuilder.

1.8 Chassis markings

The identification number of the vehicle is on the sidemember (refer to the vehicle driving handbook).
The identity markings of the vehicle must remain visible and accessible without having to remove any part of

the body.

DT 4/366 A7 RENAULT V.I. 04/02

1.9 Adjustments to the vehicle settings

Under no circumstance may bodybuilder or converters make any alteration to the original settings of
RENAULT TRUCKS vehicles.

1.10 Cleaning

1.10.1 Bodywork

So as not to cause any damage to the condition of the paintwork and the seals:

- Avoid using a high temperature jet of steam.

- Restrict the use of brushes. They must be in good condition and well maintained.

- We advise against the use of brushes, during the first month of vehicle use.

- If you are using a high pressure jet wash unit, limit the pressure to 80 bars maximum.

- Keep the lance well away from the bodywork; do not spray fluidtight joints.

- Use neutral soap based products.

- In order to remove grease spots, use cleaning fluid (not petrol).

- Parts in aluminium must be cleaned with water to which a non-alkaline washing product has been added,
and rinsed with clean water.

- Spread a coat of Vaseline or talcum powder over the seals.

1.10.2 Chassis/Underbodies

Use a high pressure unit. Limit the pressure of the jet to 80 bars maximum and the time of use to the strict
minimum necessary.
In order to prevent any risk of a problem, do not spray:

- electronic or electrical boxes,

- the seals of link rods,

- hinge pins,

- air inlets for the heater, the engine air intake and air filter,

- pneumatic and electrical apparatus,

- absorbent materials and soundproofing screens,

- the fuel gauge.

1.10.3 Cleaning of the cab

Spray lightly or use a cloth dipped in a cleaning agent (i.e. soapy water, methylated spirits, etc.). Products
with a petroleum and trichlorethylene base are not to be used.
Spread talcum powder lightly onto the door seals and the windows, as well as any link rods.

1.10.4 Cleaning of the instrument panel

Only use soapy water. Any other product is not allowed.

1.11 Safety and protection of components

Before any operation of grinding, drilling, or welding, ensure that the following are effectively protected or
taken off:

- Plastic pipework and tubes,

- Electrical wiring harnesses,

- Suspension springs (particularly for the protection against corrosion),

- The bags for the air suspension,

- The soundproofing screens,

- Any other component sensitive to heat, to the discharge of incandescent matter, to ultraviolet rays (i.e. elec­tronic control units, electronic components, items in plastic material, flexible anti-vibration mountings, pain­ted items, etc.)

- For welding work, comply with the other recommendations described in the chapter entitled “Protection of
electrical and mechanical components”.

RENAULT V.I. 04/02 A8 DT 4/366

1.12 Summary of definitions

Maximum body length (Dimension W on technical data sheets and bodywork drawings).

This is the bracket of lengths for bodies (not including fittings and accessories) worked out in relation to the
extreme positions of a given centre of gravity for a load which is taken to be evenly distributed and taking into
account the space which must be left to the rear of the cab, laid down by the manufacturer, and the maximum
permitted loads per axle on a chassis cab without options.

Body start (Dimension B on technical data sheets)
Minimum distance between the front axle centre-line and the front end plane of the body.

Load distribution calculations

Comply with the regulatory constraints for each country and the load limits given per axle for each model by
RENAULT TRUCKS.
We remind you that these values are given for uniformly distributed loads.
The lateral imbalance of the loads should not exceed a maximum of 4% between the LH and RH roadwheel
of each axle.

Chassis rear overhang (Dimension N on technical data sheets)
Horizontal distance between the centre-line of the rear roadwheels and the rear extremity of the body (exclu­ding fittings and accessories).
In the case of vehicles with 3 or 4 axles: distance between the centre-line of the rearmost axle and the extre­mity of the chassis.

Body rear overhang (Dimension X on technical data sheets)
Horizontal distance between the centre-line of the rear roadwheels and the rear extremity of the body (exclu­ding fittings and accessories).
In the case of vehicles with 3 or 4 axles: distance between the technical centre-line of the tandem and the
rear extremity of the body.

Wheelbase (Dimension F or F’ on technical data sheets).
Distance between the centre-lines of the front and rear roadwheels (vehicle laden).
In the case of vehicles with 3 or 4 axles: distance between the centre-line of the front roadwheels and the
centre-line of the foremost rear axle - for calculations take dimension F’ (technical wheelbase).

Tandem

Solely in the case of vehicles with 3 or 4 axles: the 2 rear axles taken together, regardless of whether they
are driving axles or trailing axles.

Maximum axle weight

Carrying weights are stipulated on each axle for each type of vehicle. These values are indicated on the tech­nical data sheets and on the VIN plate and must be complied with on all vehicles fitted with bodies when laden
and when empty.

Driver and cab passengers weight

The weight of the driver and passenger (passengers) in the cab is applied to the front axle in the case of a
forward control cab.
For cabs of the semi-forward control type, 2/3 of the weight should be applied to the front axle and 1/3 to the
rear axle.
Weight of driver or each passenger: 75 kg (calculated on the basis of the cab seating capacity), unless sti­pulated otherwise: i.e. Export, Army, Fire Brigade, etc.
For cabs with a seating capacity of more than 3 persons, calculate the weight distribution of the persons on
the basis of the seats layout.
For equipment intended for the Army or for Civil Administrations, take the specific specifications into account.

1.13 Certificate of approval of the conversion of a vehicle

1.13.1 Application for approval

1 If the body or the equipment fitted do not modify the weight and dimensional characteristics of the chas-

sis entered in the descriptive sheet, the vehicle can be submitted to the T ype Approval Department without
any action by RENAULT TRUCKS being necessary (within the permitted limits in force).

2 The maximum rear overhang is equal to 60% of the wheelbase. However, for special cases, we can grant

higher percentages - for this, consult us.

3 If the layout requires modification to the wheelbase, it is essential to consult the Product Applications

Department. Each case has to be covered by a specific design.

4 The certificate will be issued in accordance to the legislation in force regarding modifications made by and

under the responsibility of the bodybuilder, within the limits stipulated by the Manufacturer and relative to:

- the wheelbase

- the distribution of loads

- the cab characteristics.

5 For more accuracy in your calculations, we recommend you to introduce into the data the weighed weight

of the chassis cab to be equipped (capable of varying according to manufacturing tolerances and the
various options available). The same applies to equipment for which the manufacturers can accurately
define the weight and the position of the centre of gravity.

1.13.2 Body fitting certificate

This defines the installation of the equipment on the chassis cab and the unladen weight imposed on the axles
and then the weight when fully laden.
It must be attached to all applications relating to the equipment which do not comply with any of the dimen­sions set out in the descriptive sheet.

1.13.3 Responsibility for installation

The building and fitting of a body on a vehicle is the sole responsibility of the bodybuilder, who must comply
with the recommendations in the present document.

He must ensure that the installation of the body does not affect the functions or the reliability of the compo­nents or the road behaviour of the vehicle.

1.14.1 Precautions

- Protect the RENAULT TRUCKS equipment (i.e. by using screens, self-adhesive tape, cab cover etc.)

- Never put vehicles into drying ovens at a temperature of more than 80° C.

- The chassis of the vehicle must be electrically earthed to allow static electricity to run away to earth (protec­tion of electronic boxes).

- The vehicle must be protected against corrosion by paints compatible with those used by our Company and
conforming to RENAULT TRUCKS Specification No 4702 441 (protection of bodywork and equipment adap­ted to RENAULT TRUCKS vehicles) available from the Product Applications Department.

- Thinner solvents must never be used on cables and electrical sheaths.

- Protect the identification marking of electrical wires and compressed air pipes.

Never paint bearing surfaces of brake drums and disc wheels, or with twin tyre fitment, the assembly surfaces
between the disc wheels. As a general rule, do not repaint the support surfaces of original fitment nut and bolt
hardware and comply with the specification.

NOTE

Our Product Applications Department holds the reference numbers for paint colour shades for chassis and cabs
at your disposal. These paint colours can be procured as “spare parts” and can be ordered from our dealers.
The cab colour shade is indicated on the front end of the cab.
Since 1994, chassis and accessories are no longer sprayed with the customer’s shade of paint at the time of
original fitment.
To preserve the aspect and original quality, it is essential to observe the following methods after fitting equip­ment, body, sub-frames and various adaptations to major units or chassis frame:

1.14.2 Major units (gearboxes, drive axles, engines, axles, etc.)

Works paint: GLYCEROPHTHALIC
Retouch (after fitting PTO, charge indicator, etc.)

Retouch method

- Clean with a universal cleaner or using a high-pressure cleaner.

- Wipe down, then apply a primer.

- Let the product cure until mat (about 15 minutes at 20° C), then apply the corresponding polyurethane lacquer.

Superficial scratches (the metal is not affected).

- Clean with a universal cleaning product.

- Wipe down, then apply the corresponding undiluted but catalyzed polyurethane lacquer, using a small brush.

Deep and fine scratches (down to the bare metal).

- Clean with a universal cleaning product.

- Wipe down, then apply the primer, using a small brush.

- Let the product cure (about 15 minutes at 20° C), then apply the corresponding undiluted but catalyzed poly­urethane lacquer.

Deep and wide scratches (down to the bare metal, drilling of sidemembers for attaching tail lifts and acces­sories) due to drilling.

- Rub down.

- Clean with a universal cleaning product.

- Let the product cure until mat (about 15 minutes at 20° C), then apply the corresponding polyurethane lac­quer.

Making good after conversion (after converting wheelbase and overhang).

- Grind, rub down; prepare the area in question (burnt paint, welding scale, etc.).

- Clean with a universal cleaning product or using a high-pressure cleaner.

- Mask with tape (electrical wiring harnesses, air and fuel pipes, labels, etc.)

- Wipe down, then apply the primer.

- Let the product cure until mat (about 15 minutes at 20° C), then apply the corresponding polyurethane lac­quer.

- After drying, put back the electrical wiring harnesses, air and fuel pipes and accessories.

Spraying chassis and accessories (with customers colour shade).

- The bodybuilder undertakes to preserve the aspect and quality of the original fitment vehicle (except for nut

and bolt hardware).

- Clean with a universal cleaning product or using a high-pressure cleaner.

- Mask with tape (electrical wiring harnesses, air and fuel pipes, labels, etc.)

- Wipe down, then apply the primer.

- Let the product cure until mat (about 15 minutes at 20° C), then apply the corresponding polyurethane lac-

quer.

- After drying, put back the electrical wiring harnesses, air and fuel pipes and accessories.

NOTE

All spray gun operations are to be carried out in a painting booth.
Since August 1999, the chassis are painted grey as replacement for Enduro red. For paint retouches on grey
chassis, use a grey paint aerosol ref. N° 50 01 848 147.

1.14.5 Marking of polymer components (recycling of plastics)

Plastic parts are marked so as to simplify their sorting during recycling at the time when the vehicle is scrap­ped at the end of its life.

Marking of the plastic parts is done by placing abbreviated terms for the polymer components between the
symbols “>“ and “<“. The parts are marked on a face which the customers cannot see and when it is possible
the marking is indelible. Marking is done in the following manner:

Marking of single component products

The abbreviated term for the material is enclosed in symbols “>“ and “<“.
For example: “>PP<“ or “PP” indicates polypropylene.

Marking of copolymers

The abbreviated terms for the polymers are separated by a “/”.
For example: “>P/E<” indicates the copolymer propylene ethylene.

Marking of mixtures or blends of polymers

The abbreviated terms are separated by a “+” (heterogeneous structure).
For example: “>PP + EPDM<“ stands for a blend of polypropylene and EPDM.

Marking of polymers with fillers (additives)

The abbreviated term for the polymer is separated from that for the filler by a dash “-”.
The number following the abbreviated term for the filler relates to its percentage in the mixture.
For example: “>PA66 - (GF25 + MD15)<“ indicates polyamide 66 with 25% filler and 15% reinforcement with
mineral fillers (in decreasing order of percentage).

Marking of multi-component products

The abbreviated terms for the components are separated by commas, in order of appearance (firstly the
surface material).
For example: “>PVC, PUR, ABS<“ indicates skin surface PVC on PUR foam with an ABS insert.

Marking of special features

Abbreviated terms for the polymers can be added up to 4 symbols, in order to indicate a modification.
The symbols are put in after the abbreviated terms.
For example: “>PE - C<“ indicates chlorinated polyethylene, “>PE - LLD” stands for linear low density
polyethylene.
