5.1 RELEASING A TRAPPED DRIVER
5.1.1 Cabin bracket collision ability
The cabin bracket has a built-in safety feature that enables the cabin to move
back 400 mm in case of a collision. Depending on the severity of the collision
there are two situations.
– The safety feature is used. This means that the cabin has moved compared to
the chassis with a maximum distance of 400 mm. The cabin is still attached to
the chassis.
– The safety feature is used fully before the collision stopped. As a result the
bolt of the cabin bracket breaks. If this has happened the cabin is loose from
the chassis.
5.1.2 Cabin dimensions
The external dimensions (in millimetres) from the ground vary depending on the
tyre size, choice of suspension, load and settings.
