6.7 Mounting of implements and auxiliary components
6.7.1 Mounting equipment on the side rail
• Attach a stiffener to the inside of the side rail as
shown below when installing bolts to support
heavy components on the side rail overhang. This
will prevent cracks in the frame due to resonance
of the component if the static load caused by the
weight of the component exceeds 100 kg of force
for each bolt.
Example:
• As a rule, avoid attaching additional equipment
together with components (battery, etc.) which are
already installed to the frame side. When this is
absolutely necessary, increase the size of the
bolts, or the number of bolt locations, to decrease
the stress on each bolt.
a Risk of accident
The use of parts, assemblies or conversion parts
and accessories which have not been approved
may jeopardize the safety of the vehicle.
Before installing any attachments, special-purpose
bodies, equipment or carrying out any modifica-
tions 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 recognize dangers,
which could result in injury to yourself or others.
Official acceptance by public testing bodies or offi-
cial approval does not rule out safety hazards.
All national laws, directives and registration require-
ments must be complied with.
