2.22 RAIN FLAP
In cases where legislation requires it and if not present yet, it is necessary to ensure that the complete vehicle is equipped with
suitable rain flaps. For installation, it is necessary to comply with the distances required by the laws in force.
2.23 SIDE PROTECTIONS
In some countries, regulations (national or EC) require the application of side protections. Compliance with the required character-
istics should be assured by the Bodybuilder who handles completion of the vehicle, if it was not already equipped as such originally
(optional setting).
In permanently applied superstructures (e.g. fixed bodies, vans) side protection can be applied on the basis of their structure (e.g.
frame of the floor beams), while for mobile superstructures (e.g. tippers) the connection can be made by means of suitable sup-
ports on the counter chassis or directly on the chassis. In the latter case, use the existing holes on the vertical rib of the side mem-
ber as much as possible, in compliance with Chapter 2.2 ( ➠ Page 7).
In implementing the outer protection, as required by the regulations (e.g. EC Directive), it is permitted to use either a single section
with a surface extending in the vertical longitudinal sections, with pre-set dimensions and distances between them.
The protection must be connected to the support structures in order to be quickly removed or reversed in case of maintenance
or repair of the units behind them
