4. MOUNTING BRACKETS
Use mounting brackets to secure the sub-frame when it is not possi-
ble to use U-bolts. If a highly rigid body such as a tank body or closed van
body is to be mounted, it is strongly recommended that spacers be used
in combination with mounting brackets (Fig. 12). Sufficient spring washers
should be used with the connecting bolt.
Install the mounting brackets to the chassis frame using bolt nut or
rivet attachments at sufficient intervals. Do not weld.
5. LOCATION PLATES
The sub-frame cannot be securely mounted to the chassis frame
using locating plates only. When employing locating plates use U-bolts or
mounting brackets. Closely align the front of the sub-frame with the chas
-
sis frame using the U-bolts or mounting brackets (Fig. 12). Do not use
locating plates for mounting a body having a high center of gravity or con
-
centrated load. Never use a locating plate for sub-frame mounting of a
tank body, dump body, concrete mixer body, van body, etc. Locating
plates are not recommended for vehicles operating on rough or winding
roads.
