a Risk of accident and injury
Do not modify any bolted connections that are
relevant to safety, e.g. that are required for wheel
alignment, steering or braking functions.
When unfastening bolted connections make sure
that, when work is complete, the connection again
corresponds with the original condition.
Welding work on the chassis/body may only be
carried out by trained personnel.
The body, attached or installed equipment and any
modifications must comply with the applicable laws
and directives as well as workplace safety or
accident prevention regulations, safety rules and
accident insurer requirements.
With all bodies make sure that neither flammable
objects nor flammable liquids can come into
contact with hot assemblies (including through
leakages in the hydraulic system) such as the
transmission, etc.
Appropriate caps, seals and covers must be
installed on the body in order to avoid the risk of
fire.
! Property damage
Bodies on which the transmission can be expected
to be exposed to high levels of water, e.g. cleaning
water (flushing, overflowing or similar), require an
effective cover over the transmission (transmission
guard) which will prevent abrupt cooling as well as
water ingestion via the transmission breather.
