7.3 Mounting frame attachment
7.3.1 Spacer (liner)
• Placing a spacer (liner) between the chassis frame and the mounting frame is not recommended because the
combining force between both frames may be lowered.
• In an unavoidable case, hold the spacer (liner) in position with an additional retainer.
7.3.2 Fastening mounting frame to chassis frame (securing mounted body)
Frame fasteners and their features
•U-bolt
The U-bolt is a fastener widely used for combining two or more members. This offers a considerable fastening
force and is effective for preventing lateral movement of members. However, it is not so effective for
suppressing the longitudinal movement. Therefore, it is required that a retainer be used together for that
purpose.
