While positioning the mounting brackets, ALWAYS use existing chassis perforations as much as possible.
•
For additional perforations, make sure the brackets are positioned at 90° angle to the chassis. Make sure the brackets are correctly
aligned at equal distance from the bottom of the chassis. Then mark the required pattern of the holes on the vehicle chassis and
subframe or long sill. [Figure 8.5]
•
Drill the required holes into the chassis and subframe. The required drill diameter equals the M value of the bolt + 0.

Install the mounting brackets with 4 bolts / bracket as instructed. [Figure 8.5]
•
The torque fastenings of all bolts should be checked after completion of the installation and the weight test, and retightened if required.
•
If applicable, it is convenient to mount the platform stop bumpers ref. OAM033 now, before the slide tubes are mounted. They are
usually fixed to the bottom hole of the rearmost mounting bracket [1], and held with the same bolt that holds the mounting bracket to
the chassis. [Figure 8.6].
•
The platform stop bumpers can be mounted at 3 different heights, corresponding with variable ground clearances under the platform
in its travel position. [Figure 8.6]
•
Take the applicable legal underrun / crash bar legislation into consideration when adjusting the ground clearance of the stowed
platform.
NOTICE
Where chassis beams, longs sills, the rear sill and other steel
chassis or body components have been cut, grinded, drilled,
etc…, the installer should apply adequate anti
-corrosive coating
to protect the vehicle and body against corrosion. Check, and
make sure you comply with the instructions of the OEM vehicle
manufacturer.
